Can you imagine if a DEMOCRATIC V.P. shot someone?

[debbierlus]

Why aren't we demanding he step down?

He just SHOT a man. That shows INCREDIBLY bad judgement. There is NO excuse for this...I grew up in a hunting family. If you are going to shoot, you know where ALL the members in your hunting party are...

You don't know? You DON'T take the shot.

And, what about charges? Don't most people face CHARGES, even if it is an accident?

People get thrown in jail and charged for accidentally running people over with a car. We should all be stating that Cheney is unfit. He needs to step down now!

1. Well you know Gore invented the shotgun...harhahrhar...nt

[MadMaddie]

2. They would be calling for him to resign....

Because he brought dishoner to the White House!

[Botany]

3. Can you imagine if a "Jeff Gannon" was found in the Clinton W.H.?

Why the nation is not @ the White House w/ pitch forks and torches I don't know?

[benburch]

4. I remember when the "killer rabbit" attacked Carter...

And the secret service shot it. (Likely it was rabid.)

And the Republicans made ENDLESS fun of him for it.

5. You're forgetting that this is the BFEE

Multiple drunk driving convictions, vehicular homocide, drugs, treason, treason, lying to congress, and you think he'll face charges for a hunting "accident"?

6. They were talking about this today on CNN...

They said that Texas law stated that no charges can be filed unless the accident resulted in a death...

Lucky bastard! But your right if it had been a Dem. VP he would be put out to pasture.

12. I suspect that's a crock of shit

I suspect a true negilgent gun injury would result in charges, even if people in Texas don't think so. They wouldn't be the first to not understand ALL the laws that exist in their state. But because that's conventional wisdom and it's Cheney, that is likely what will happen.

7. the rePugs spent years investigating a bl*wjob, for G-d's sake.

[CatholicEdHead]

8. ANY Democrat at any level would be given the Nth degree

if this happened.

[debbierlus]

9. You know, I figured out how to fight this bunch

I know many people on this board think that, we as liberals, must be 'above' the repukes. But, I am sick of trying to fight people armed with machine guns with plastic fork knives. I say we stand up and expose them. Expose their affairs. Slime them.

I am not saying lie. I am saying don't hold back calling a liar a liar. A cheat, a cheat. A spade, a spade. Be blunt and brutal.

I was on a message board the other day about the LA terrorist plot that Bush 'stopped' (right!). I posted that Republicans are such cowards handing over their civil rights to Bush. A pretend cowboy cheerleader who read a children's book when America was under attack. Save me! Pllllease Mr. Bush. It was a sarcastic & childish post, but I couldn't resist.

And, I could not believe the cons on the board started a discussion about whether they were being cowards. These people who care nothing about facts and reality were upset that they might be cowards if they supported Bush! It was surreal.

Perhaps, a little mind fuck is what these people need! Use reality, but put it in words they understand!

[Fuzz]

10. Every single thread on FR about this incident

has some reference to Ted Kennedy's accident or a picture of Gore or Kerry with a gun and some comment about it for some reason. And this is a story about Cheney!

So, yeah, I can imagine.

11. The nature of a Democrat, *sigh*

Innocent until proven guilty, benefit of the doubt, our very nature is what keeps us from slamming with a story like this. By the time we're convinced of guilt beyond all doubt, they've already spun it around against us.
