You know what gets me is the utter hypocrisy. Words matter when they are trying to get votes, smearing their opponents, and lying about their records (I'm looking at you, Joe Miller(, and yet when their words come back to haunt them, they refuse to own up, refuse to take responsibility for their irresponsible utterings. You use graphics that depict a rifle sight to "target" political opponents, then own up to your own misguided and irresponsible shit. You tell people who donate to your PAC that it's time to RELOAD (no way to misinterpret that little verbal gem), then OWN FUCKING UP to your stupidity and apologize. Oh, and Bill O'Reilly, how do you sleep at night, man? You hound Tiller for months, make veiled statements on your national television show about how someone should take out this abortion doctor, and lo and behold, someone does.
People need to take responsibility for what they say. They sure don't mind owning up to what they say when it gets them positive media coverage and votes. It works BOTH WAYS, assholes.
