I wouldn't have mentioned Loughner's far-left world view immediately after a tragedy like this, but now that liberals have opened the door by blaming Loughner's politics, they better brace themselves.

And when I say "brace themselves," I don't mean they need to actually strap themselves into a brace. That's a metaphor, Chris.

“Ann Coulter: LIBERALS SEEK BAN ON METAPHORS”

While exempting their own, of course.

Sarah Palin, for example, had a chart of congressional districts being targeted by Republicans. So did the Democratic Leadership Committee. Indeed, Democratic consultant Bob Beckel went on Fox News and said he invented the bull's-eye maps.

Similarly, every time liberals produce an example of military lingo from a Republican -- "we're going to target this district" -- Republicans produce five more from the Democrats.
No wonder they are so mad.

They started it with actual targets--those things that you shoot at--Palin used surveyors symbols, and their "targeting" helped the Republicans.

Who'd thunk it?

Ann, you're a LIAR.

I know for a fact that the killer did watch and was influenced by TV. They just checked his DVR, and he had MSNBC recorded every night, from 5PM to 11PM.

Liberals hate “labels”...except when they use them.

Liberals are like little children. They believe they should be allowed to do things but no one else.

Liberals had better ban the entire English language. Its loaded with words that can drive people to kill.

Oops! I need JimRob to ban me cause under the Democrats’ regime, I have just handed someone a notion to go out and kill someone!

If we don’t all die laughing first from liberal stupidity!

LibTURDS hate the 1st Amendment and the Truth. Lex Luthor was a NUT that they created.

In North Korea, one can only [legally] say nice things about the Great Leaders. How’s that working out for them?

It’s way past time fot Liberals to retreat from their usual entrenched positions and arm them themselves with the truth, instead. Oh, wait...

By blaming a mass killing on figures of speech, liberals sound as crazy as Loughner with his complaints about people's grammar.

Ann hits the nail on the head!

Oh, wait, can't say that.

How about... Ann encourages the nail with prudent force, thoughtfully applied, and we all join her in wishing the nail well in its new position.

DUmmie FUnnies 01-12-11 ("Simply Hypocritical": Head KOmmie Kos and KOmmie BoyBlue swell the ranks)

SIMPLY HYPOCRITICAL
Tune: "Simply Irresistible"

They say we're vitriolical
And deeply diabolical
They say that we're so horrible
Our hate speech is deplorable

See them rant, see them rage
Anger fills every page
But the hate they detect
Is a trait they project

They like to condemn the Right
But now I find they're
Simply hypocritical
Simply hypocritical

They say when we're rhetorical
It can't be metaphorical
The language must be literal
Unless it's by a liberal

They can wish Bush would die
Or hang Palin on high
With no sin of their own
They can cast the first stone

They like to condemn the Right
But now I find they're
Simply hypocritical
Simply hypocritical

(Simply hypocritical) They're so pure, there's no imagery that's violent
(Simply hypocritical) They're so sure there's no hatred of their own

It's unbelievable, the story that they spread
They say we're guilty, that the blood is on our head
But Beck and Limbaugh now, they're wishing they were dead

They like to fight the Right
Now I find they're
Simply hypocritical

They're so pure, there's no imagery that's violent
(Simply hypocritical) They're so sure there's no hatred of their own

Hypocrisy on overkill
The word is pharisaical
The evidence is plentiful
Their posturing is Pittiful

See them rant, see them rage
Anger fills every page
But the hate they detect
Is a trait they project

They like to condemn the Right
But now I find they're
Simply hypocritical

They're so pure, there's no imagery that's violent
(Simply hypocritical) They're so sure there's no hatred of their own
(Simply hypocritical) They're so pure, there's no imagery that's violent
(Simply hypocritical) They're so sure there's no hatred of their own

Simply hypocritical

These are figures of speech known as "metaphors." (Do liberals know where we got the word "campaign"?)

Where DID we get the word "campaign"?

Actually that is where it came from
