Though O.J. Simpson was sentenced for robbery and related crimes yesterday, thirteen years ago he walked on a double-murder charge. That might be an isolated case, but Gail Collins apparently believes there are tens of millions of murderers roaming free in America. We call them by a different name: hunters.
Collins made her inane hunting = murder analogy in her column today in the course of taking one more gratuitous swipe at Sarah Palin. The gist of "The Senate, Snowe and Dinkytown" is that in a Senate where Democrats will fall one or two seats short of the magic 60, the few moderate Senate Republicans will play a crucial role. Collins focuses in particular on Olympia Snowe of Maine. And while wondering why McCain didn't choose her as his running mate, the columnist gets off her smear on Palin, and hunters in general [emphasis added]:

Gail Collins’ strange moral compass ping to Today show list.
Ever eat a cheeseburger Gail? Than you’re an accessory to cow murder.
LOL! Olympia Snowe should have been Mac’s running mate? Trying to outleft Obama?
Who’s Gail Collins?
Gail, you’re a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
LOL - I guess plucking eyebrows is considered a murderous habit too?
Sorry for the personal dig - no actually I’m not.
Yeah, I hope that she is a vegetarian...... But Wait....Asparagus is a living thing, too.
Palin a ‘Moose-Murderer’, Collins homely as a Moose?
This hussy obviously resents the fact that Governor Palin is self-sufficient and actually works for a living, unlike Olympia Snowe.
But then again...it's also very important to note what she didn't kill...her own child.
All of those are some of the reasons I wil be voting FOR Sarah Palin in 2012!
Why do lesbian vegetarians all have that “earnest” look? You know, the semi-debauched one that signals that they are at least part-mad? Maybe not mad enough to be certifiable, but mad enough that you dare not trust them with scissors or other dangerous sharp objects?
You’re the man, Jeff!
Damn. I knew “Deer Assassin” would have been a better FReeper name.
From RealClearPolitics:
"Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called 'too close to infanticide.' Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed he would not want his daughters to be 'punished with a baby' because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life."

‘Gail Collins’ strange moral compass...’, slyly effective way of describing her? moral Comp...LOL!
Vegetarians are never happy because as hard as they try to make soy or tofu look and taste like meat, it still sucks. You will never find meat-eaters trying to make beef look like a tomato. We are happy with foods being what they are supposed to be.
UGH!
She’s competing with Helen Thomas in looks?
These liberal "moralists" and their absoultely decrpid and corrupt morality, sicken and disgust me.
Hey Colins “YOUR VEGETABLES NEED CO2”
I have a big carrot you can enjoy.
