Walsh explained that he merely was “talking metaphorically” and not about actual violence.

It's stupid to let the enemy make the rules. Only losers do that

The proper response is a sarcastic, "If you don't understand what speaking metaphorically means, look it up; or let a sixth-grader explain it to you."

Just to clarify:

The left can engage in actual violence with property damage, bodily harm and even bombings of offices and the response is a collective yawn from the DBM.
BUT! Let a conservative use an obvious metaphor and they have a nervous breakdown complete with hysterical squeals.

Is that right so far?

OK, then; just as long as it's fair...
