Target is a figure of speech. I don't think anyone meant it in the literal sense except the distrurbed person who committed this unspeakable act. The talking heads on MSNBC were quite aware that no one meant it in the literal sense but were opportunistic in their hatred of wing when given the opportunity.

Why are law abiding citizens who happen to have a firearm suddenly irresponsible?

MSNBC and Air America are/were the left wing verions of Fox. This type of over the top journalism isn't a right wing thing or a left wing thing.

I value other opinons and try not to refer to others in derogatory terms. Refering to the other side as inbred idiots doesn't really further understanding in any manner.

Finally, if you are angry about the present state of political discourse in the this country, wouldn't it make sense to vote for someone besides the current President. He came in promising to unite the country and has done exactly the opposite.
I"m sorry, I guess you misunderstood me...or you didn't read what I wrote. I suspect the latter.
Target may be a figure of speech, but an actual cross hairs target on Representative Giffords district, is a target.

I never said law abiding citizens who happen to own guns were irresponsible. I said inbred idiots who think it's ok to carry side arms to a political rally are not responsible citizens (in response to the oft presented argument that people who carry are such well trained, responsible citizens) Again, more careful reading would help you avoid these misunderstandings.

no, nasty, over the top (I won't call it journalism as that insults real journalism) is clearly a right wing thing. MSNBC has maybe 5 political opinion shows during the broadcast day, and they regularly have conservatives on for REAL balanced journalism. (OK there is one or two that don't regularly have conservatives on) compared to Fox 24/7 anti liberal, anti-Obama, anti anything that even appears to be something liberals are for. I swear if liberals came out for apple pie and mother hood, they would find a way to be against it. Oh, wait, I have an example. Think these good, god fearing people are for family and the sanctity of marriage? Well, not so much!

Boy, you just can't make this stuff up!

I didn't refer to the other side as inbred idiots. I referred to the IDIOTS as idiots. They know who they are..Well, maybe they don't. They are idiots after all!
There are plenty of conservatives on this board and I don't think they are inbred idiots.

As far as this President being divisive? Well, only people who think fox is fair and balanced and all the information they need would think so. But anyone who actually followed what was going on in Washington, and how this President has practically bent himself into a pretzel accommodating the republicans would know different.
