“One would think Rove could better accentuate a point than referring — even jokingly — to the murder of someone. That sh*t doesn’t fly anymore.”
But it does fly. It flies directly to the target. It was intended to come across as crude and calloused as it did. It is a threat. Of actual homicide? Not very likely. Of targeted personal and career destruction with no chance of a recovery in this lifetime? Absolutely. Further, it was intended to go public, as an example to any uppity Grand Old Plantation field niggras who might be getting ideas above their station.
Yeah, and I guess Missouri has become the plantation. Talked with my daughter in Washington State yesterday. She had not even heard of the Akin situation.
