One more post on the Cheney shooting "Guns and Poses"

[wyldwolf]

NewDonkey reminds us of a statement Cheney made in 2004, mocking John Kerry for hunting geese on the campaign trail:

"My fellow sportsmen, this cover-up isn't going to work," Cheney said, speaking to supporters in an upscale Toledo suburb that borders the Ohio-Michigan state line. "The Second Amendment is more than just a photo opportunity."

The National Rifle Association has endorsed the Bush-Cheney ticket.

Kerry has a camouflage jacket but bought a new one for the outing because he was on the campaign trail. Cheney seized on the fact that the jacket was new.

"Which did make me wonder how regularly he does go goose hunting," the vice president said.

1. Which did make me wonder how regularly he does go goose hunting

And whether or not he shoots them caged, like me.

2. I still can't get used to the fact that they rely on these tactics.

I should be well beyond inured to it, but it still shocks me that someone in as high a position as Cheney takes these cutesy, junior-high level shots at political opponents. Who among Democrats does this? Think of Hughes and Rove in the camouflage jackets, Lynn Cheney mocking Kerry's tan, Cheney telling Leahy to fuck himself, Purple Heart Band-aids, not to mention the vitriol coming from Limbaugh, Coulter, O'Reilly, Hannity (who at least are not public officials, though still blowhards) -- it's so extreme, childish, and divisive that I just can't comprehend that they really do it publicly (I could understand a little private nasty talk). All the time.

4. Well...

...-- it's so extreme, childish, and divisive that I just can't comprehend that they really do it publicly (I could understand a little private nasty talk). All the time.

Consider the people they're talking to, their audience, followers, and dittoheads. :eyes:

Oh jeez. Now I'm doing it. :banghead:

5. LOL...and Cheyney's aim was REALLY bad in the middle east, too!

al Qaida attacked us, he shot at Iraq! LOL

(OK, so technically it was Bush who gave the order for the Iraq war, but we all know who was behind it.)
