After the tragedy in Tucson, everyone is concerned with the metaphors that had nothing to do with the murders or the homicidal maniac who pulled the trigger, but if there was some kind of connection, there would be Hell to pay in the Liberal Press. The Propagandists of Progressivism parading as unbiased journalists have exposed their bias to all who have an open mind or at least those who have a shred of analytical judgement. For they have shot themselves in the foot.
Lord have mercy, Ol Skook has made the same error. He has used an old metaphor and is now eligible to be persecuted and hit with the lead weighted purses of all the dainty boys of the Left Wing Media Complex. But wait a minute, Ol Skook has been a professional hunter and trapper, has been a rancher and worked around the rough and tumble world of horses all his adulthood and childhood. He's a little course around the edges, you could say he still has the bark on and makes no apologies.
Now our silly boys who get tingles up the inside of their legs watching Obama recite teleprompter messages are going to seem a mite different than a man who hunted elk and moose to feed his family and butchered his own pigs and smoked hams and bacon. You see men like Skook have never farted through silk and aren't likely to ever consider the possibility.
Once upon a time, at least a few decades ago, before our public education system insisted that young boys act more like girls and adopt feminine mannerisms or be put on anti-anxiety drugs to prep them for being drug addicts, while worrying about self-esteem and majoring in societal disciplines to help form a national dystopia of the future, most men had no doubt as to their manhood and sexual preferences. They were men, some were better than others, but they were men.

The precedent is being set, we must apologize for any phrases that might imply noncompliance with the new norms of political acceptance, essentially those established by our propaganda bureaus and the Progressive Socialists they represent.
CNN's John King: "Before we go to break, I want to make a quick point. We were having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race. My friend Andy Shaw used the term 'in the crosshairs' in talking about the candidates. We're trying, we're trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend, he's covered politics for a long time, but we're trying to get away from that kind of language."
Of course, the transgression becomes much more serious to a propagandist if the perpetrator is a Conservative or a Republican, this is the nature of propaganda.

Metaphors left and right, but public, video-recorded death threats only from the left.
“..., Tucson shooting victim J. Eric Fuller was arrested following the taping of an ABC News town hall event hosted by Christiane Amanpour for making a death threat. On Sunday morning, ABC News aired the event and included a brief mention of Fullers outburst and arrest though without quoting what Fuller actually said.
Fullers alleged death threat remark came as Tucson tea party leader Trent Humphries spoke about how the nations gun laws werent to blame for last weekends shooting massacre that left six dead and more than a dozen others wounded. As Humphries begins to talk about his neighbor who died in the incident, a mans voice possibly Fullers can be heard mumbling in the background, drawing the attention of others in the audience. Its not entirely clear, but this bit of audio may be the youre dead threat Fuller reportedly made during Humphries remarks.”
