Welcome to DU, Jcrowley! :hi:

2. Holy Shit! What's wrong with these people?

This is un-freaking-believable.

I think we know who Keith's "Worst Person of the World" will be today.

Recommended and :kick:ed.

3. Dang, it wasn't enough for the Republicans to stamp on peace

with the push for the unnecceary Iraqi war - now they're just going to shoot the Peace Dove and get it over with.

Think of the metaphor here - a (peace) dove shoot on 9/11. These people are insane.

4. My guess is Ms. Floyd's campaign has written off the PETA endorsement.

5. This has GOT to be a hoax. Right? RIGHT? n/t

[Jcrowley]

12. Don't know for sure

I do know she is planning on a dove hunt and it is circulating around the internet that it is today. A sentimental kooky bunch of Republicans huh? Trying to find out more.

Please contact the S. Carolina Republican Party and let them know what you think.

We appreciate your suggestions and any comments you may have.

9. How republican of them..Kill some innocent birds

in the name of democracy... and be sure you dress casual.. Doves don't go for ostentatious finery:)

[Stevendsmith]

10. No effing way!!! This can't be real!!! (n/t)

[YOY]

11. No way this is real

It's just too insanly stupid to be anywhere near a PR stunt.

[Jcrowley]

13. It's real get this

Picked this e-mail off from the magic of the internet. They have changed the date to October 3rd. They probably didn't even consider how appalling this was that's how amoral some of these folks are and then finally someone probably mentioned how "it would appear to be in bad taste" or some other condescension

17. If this is what it sounds like

Then it really scares me that these people would find this entertaining.

[Jcrowley]

18. These folks are serious

I find this this entire episode to be very revealing about these marauding technocrats. Look at the price tag to attend this affair for a State office of middlin' importance. They understand how important it is to control the education system. They are looking to control every nook and cranny and have no compunction in how abrasive they must be to achieve those ends.

14. If they all accidently shoot themselves is it a chickenhawk shoot?

I'd pay to see that.

[Recursion]

16. Not me

We need to start finally fighting fire with water now

[bvar22]

15. Uh-Oh..... Fascists with guns.

[and-justice-for-all]

19. Guns and Animal Cruelity...Yup, thats a Repuke Party.
