sundevil777 102 #1 January 18, 2011 At first I said it was stupid to use the targets in political ads. I have changed my mind. I don't even think any of the ads had a target/crosshair that was actually on a picture of a person, they seemed to just be on a geographic map. Anyway, since libs were perfectly OK with saying that they wished someone would kill their political opponents, I think that conservatives should not give in to the new political correctness by removing the targets. If the media want to talk about how it is so 'bad', then they should also address the violence advocating, vitriolic rhetoric that has been a staple of liberals for decades. Bring back the targets! Don't give in to liberal PC!People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #6 January 18, 2011 QuoteYou are in a bad mood today Nope, feeling fine. I take a short break from work every now and then to see what the current bitch session is.

DanG 1 #7 January 18, 2011 QuoteThat is interesting - i don't remember reading any thread here regarding keeping the "targets" simply because we need to stand up against being PC. That's my point. You don't need to start a whole new thread to state your point of view on an issue being discussed, even if you think you point of view is novel. That's how threads work. QuoteWhat are your thoughts on the issue, or are you just here to belittle, and whine? Mostly belittle and whine, although I enjoy an occasional harumph. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #8 January 18, 2011 Perhaps taking a break from SC is in order. This is a completely different angle compared to what has been in play, I think.

What about those stick pins that are used on mapping software to indicate a geographic location? That implies voodoo violence, wishing harm upon the people of a location, just like sticking a pin in a voodoo doll to harm an individual person. Ban crosshairs! Ban stick pins! So what are we going to use to indicate a point on a map, that will be free from politically incorrect criticism? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fringe right is not very good with anything other than their white white world.

Conservatives can not claim to be innocent with the vitriolic opposition they channel towards Liberals. Right or wrong, Conservatives tend to know when the are slamming Liberals with their vitriol. But while Liberals can equally dish out their vitriol right back in the face of Conservatives, for some reason they then turn around an deny what they have just done. Are they hypocrites or just dumb? Come on Liberals fess up. Just as Conservatives can not claim innocence, neither can you. Both sides are equally guilty of dishing out some nasty words towards each other. Mention the name "Sarah Palin" in Canada and Liberals go ape shit calling her every name in the book. But since the "Natural Governing" Liberals are not in power here (despite their constant whining that they should forever be given permanent power), it is okay for Liberals to target key Conservative politicians to be defeated in the next election (whenever that does happen). But when a Conservative tries to target a Liberal it is viewed as some politically incorrect thing to do. Enough of this "Politically Correct" bullshit. Conservatives and Liberals are both allowed to be targeted for defeat in any and all political elections. Don't confuse the work of a psychotic murderer with political targets. Say NO to this politically correct bullshit. But do try to keep your hate for the opposition in check. Contrary to what some may think, Liberals and Conservatives have a lot more in common than they like to admit. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
