“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” - Barack Obama
   
Saw the thread about the Democratic election chart with the bullseyes, thought I'd throw this out for discussion.

Thoughts?

Yeah, but you see, the left doesn't mean it like that. The right does.

Rule 1 of a communist democrat is that anything, any means used to get power is acceptable.

62. It's a metaphor, used once--and it's not a clarion call to shoot Republicans.
 Barack Obama didn't encourage people to come to rallies armed. He didn't tell people to threaten their Congressmen, and he didn't encourage the use of "Second Amendment remedies".

Nice try.


Also a metaphor when Sarah Palin had the map of "targeted" congressional seats.

FAIL, DUmmy.

They spent an entire weekend whipping themselves into a frenzy while the rest of us were collecting facts.

Suddenly the week forces them into the sunlight and they are confronted by mounds of evidence:

Gun site cross-hair images vs. bulls-eye images   Updated at 9:12 PM
   
Bulls-eyes are no more violent than are the images found on thousands of discount stores and carnival games across America.

Gun site cross-hairs are very specific to the act of shooting.

Bulls-eyes are used for lots of non-violent reasons. Gun sites... not so much.

Just sayin'.

The smell of desperation is beginning to emerge amid the wafting tendrils of hemp smoke and patchouli.

3. That's just pathetic...
   
Really? Is this where the conversation has degraded to?

The possible incitement value of multiple circles vs one circle with a cross?

Stupid crap like this is why the left loses arguments in the media.

ow...felt that one all the way over here

Waiting for Cid_B to be denounced as a RWer.
