Where did you pick that odd phrase up? It sounds like one of Dan Rathers strange folkisms.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) has been an outspoken critic of the use of so-called violent or vitriolic political rhetoric. Specifically, he has bemoaned references to targeting candidates or any type of reference to guns.
On MSNBC this afternoon he said President Obama had to put on a "double barrel" effort at last night's memorial service in Arizona.

What a shock also we will now be told Obama was terrific, Palin horrific.
I thought Obama’s “memorial” became a disturbing tribute to government and how the little girl could have grown up to be a “public servant” once she learned the “obligations of citizenship”.
Uhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm! He said “double-barreled”! [It’s going to get nauseating. The Word Police will be out en masse.]
I’m torn, I understand the need to point out their hypocrisy on one hand. On the other, this playing “gotcha” has gotten tiresome, quick. I hate seeing the right stooping to their level in order to make a point.
I just saying...
No you missed his point its only inflammatory rhetoric when it comes from anyone on the right..... silly...
Can you say blu gum ??
This guy is an embarrassment to South Carolina and the USA.
Give him a mic and enough time and like this, he will indite himself for what he is, a race bating hypocrite.
Politics is war by other means. Of course it’s going to have language of war and struggle attached to it. I used to have a friend in politics and his campaigns always said he would “fight” for this and “fight” for that. He never put up his dukes or shot anyone.
It isn't necessarily stooping to their level. It's holding liars and charlatans accountable using their own words. We've gone well past the point where we can simply sit there and say 'ha, ha, you said a bad word'. That hasn't worked. It's gotten us as conservatives libeled and smeared. It's time to put a stop to it.
Clyburn is dumber than a mud doorknob.
I understand your point, but this Clyburn is unbelievably hostile.
Last night, on CBS Evening News, Couric asked him if, in light of the fact that the killer appears now to have no definable political agenda, did he think that his comments blaming the shooting on Palin and the Tea Party were premature?
He responded "Absolutely not!" and then went on to claim that Loughner's eyes were the eyes of the people who threatened his life during the civil rights movement.
He's a nonsensical, vicious, hate-filled demagogue. I have no problem with throwing his hypocrisy back at him.
and the reason is he has an IQ 2 points higher than Alvin Greene
You gotta know this is done on purpose. Kinda one of those, “We shut YOU guys down, but look what WE can still say!” sort of deals.
Spellcheck is our friend.

Poor you, we wouldn't want the lefties to dislike you now, would we?
Nope. Not for a Democrat. Only for Conservatives.
