Usually I’d try to think up something witty or sarcastic— but in this case, John King is just a big poo poo face.

LOL! Why not just admit that the whole Sarah Palin attack was bogus to begin with, so that you won’t have to do a ridiculous mea culpa like this?

Maybe they were referencing the KKK with that show title.

They ought not to let him do that. He might prick himself.

Replace “Crosshairs” with “sights”. Or how about instead of saying that “bill is in my cross hairs”, just saying “I’ve got a bullet with Bill’s name on it.”

Gawd these people are idiots. It’s hard to take them seriously. Has been for a long time, actually.

stupid jackasses.

I once worked for a moderately liberal government official. A decision went against him and he advised me “Don’t get gunshy, just sharpen those gunsights”. Believe me he wasn’t threatening to shoot anyone.

Now all gun or fighting terminology is about to become the new “N” word and all over an incident that had nothing to do with it.

I’m thinking back to the good old days of W. F. Buckley and “Crossfire.”

The new “c word”. Which is different from the other “C word”. You’re welcome.
