> to avoid describing […] Kirk's assassin [as conservative]

That was a bit of a canard, though, right? Did anyone seriously think he was a conservative? I thought this was just another mental gymnastics act in the Whataboutism Circus. With some photo fabrication to support it, according to Wikipedia.

I mean, yes, you can do the "No true conservative" the same way you can do "No true Scotsman".

Doesn't invalidate the point of using "NVE" to avoid describing a number of assassins or would be assassins as conservatives.

I wasn't trying to invalidate your point, just pointing out one of the examples was wrong. I have no idea about the others.
