I called it on both sides. Anyway, Jon's smart enough to know immediately that IT is referring to the hypocrisy he sees. It drives me nuts (well, more so when someone from the left does it) when someone choses to ignore the obvious point and try to reframe the debate or point it in another direction.

That said, I re-read Jon's comment and have to agree it is more droll than I though at first.

BTW, I have to come down on the cross hairs on congressional districts is no big thing side. Hyprocrisy, a much more important thing (to be rooted out and exposed).

And NS, I agree hypocrisy can readily be found on both sides (I mean, c'mon, we're talking politics here).

and more.. I'm sorry to comment but this gun stuff is idiotic.

"Back in June 2010, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords's (D-AZ) Republican opponent Jesse Kelly had an event at which voters could shoot an assault rifle with the candidate, promoted as thus:

Get on Target for Victory in November Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly"

I still don't get what's ridiculous about that?
I think people who aren't "into" guns have a very different idea about the folks who are "into" guns.

I've written and deleted a veritable tome...

I basically don't understand why this is "idiotic." Why is this impossible to have been simple word play, when simple word play is assumed by the left for more blatant statements? I guess I live in a place where I wouldn't be surprised to see an ad to go to a local shoot, and shoot a gun i wouldn't normally be able to legally shoot, with a congressman I support...
And any reference to political "targets" wouldn't be seen by me as instructional, but as clever.

And your comment on Democrat Senator Joe Manchin firing a bullet through the cap and trade bill with a hunting rifle?

Don't you know that only knuckle-dragging cretins enjoy firearms? Any person with any amount of education, compassion for his fellow man or an appreciation of old Walt Disney movies (Bambi, anyone?) knows beyond any scintilla of doubt that guns are bad, BAD, BAD!

I'd assumed he did this because he has a very small penis.
