Blonde Bimbo on Fox news claims Whittington hit by BBs!

[rfranklin]

I like to see her take a face full of those BBs!

[havocmom]

1. Did Dick use BB's for quail? Of did he use bird shot?

Big difference. If BB's, that would answer the question about whether or not he eats his kill.

[acmejack]

2. IF it was 4 shot she'd be correct.

Four shot is often called bb shot or at least the box I have in my hand right now says it is.

[Warpy]

It aint the meat, it's the motion

One BB dropped into your hand won't hurt. A BB shot from a BB gun twenty feet away into your back when you're wearing a leather coat might sting, might just feel like a hard tap.

Fifty or so BBs propelled by a shotgun blast are gonna hurt. A LOT.

That right wing bimbo needs to be shot with a load of birdshot. Then she can testify how it's no more harmful than a BB.

[Bandit]

17. four shot is used for geese not quail

Even six shot could be confused for bee bees but anything higher is pretty damn tiny.

[acmejack]

21. Yes, geese were their intended victims..

The point I was trying to make was exactly that. If fours were BBs, 6 was smaller. Guess I didn't do very well. But yeah and a 28 gauge has a higher muzzle velocity than a 20 gauge, interestingly, so at thirty feet Harry really got ate up.

[baldguy]

3. Idiot!

[rodeodance]

4. she is equating the pellets with BB's

[C_U_L8R]

5. It's silly for them to lie about guns

The reichwing base KNOWS guns... probably more than anything.
(just watch the freeps jerk off over fancy schmancy semi auto anything)

It does not serve Cheney well to lie to this bunch about guns....
they're already calling him out on his bullshit.

Well actually.. scratch that advice...keep going Dick.. you're doing great !!!!

[rucky]

6. In a couple of day's, they'll release a photo of the gun:

7. Once again Faux tells a partial truth

The shot is about the size of a BB. But it's propelled at a much higher velocity by the gunpowder than the air pressure in a BB gun does. It's all about how fast that BB is moving. Of course, none of the talking heads on Faux have a clue to start with.

[Ilsa]

8. Stupid woman. It's birdshot, not BBs. Cheney will straighten her

out, I bet. He wouldn't want to be known as the VP that hunted with a BB gun.

[mrcheerful]

9. Thats what shotgun pellets are called by hunters in different areas of the

Country. It depends on where you live on what you call shotgun pellets, some call them pellets, others call them shot and even others call them shotgun BB's. Trust this, if you take a pipe fill it with gun powder and BB gun BB's you got something that will tear a human or any other living thing up. Shot comes in different sizes, some like bird shot is small and have up to 100 pellets. 00 buck shot is .32 caliber size shot, theres around 9 .32 caliber in a 00 shell.

[Bandit]

19. We used to refer to the double ought as brush cutters.

Most point men carried 00 Buck in the jungle.

[Vidar]

23. double ought =brush cutters=bush

[jayfish]

22. True, But In The Case Of Faux News They Are...

using it to make light of the fact that this man was shot with a shotgun. The terminology is for the people who think of BBs as projectiles fired from a Daisey.

10. We need a crusading Fox reporter to demonstrate the truth!

Let them take a similar "peppering" with birdshot on camera. Their reaction would be most illuminating, I'm sure.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

13. HAHAHA! Great idea...I volunteer O'Liely. n/t

11. This assertion isn't worth debunking

but there are a dozen threads dealing with the ballistics of the situation and while some media members have referred to what hit Mr. Whittington as "buckshot". nobody but FAUX would be obtuse enough to use the term BBs. Given the fact that cheney was firing a 28 ga shotgun it would be almost impossible to load it with BB size shot. BB's or buckshot, we'd be referring to Whittington in the past tense if he'd been hit by a load of either.

[NoPasaran]

12. BB or not

You could still put someone's eye out, as those of us with mothers well know.

[Fridays Child]

14. Well, there you go. Cheney had no mother. Not a warm-blooded one, anyway.

[NoPasaran]

16. Damn those lizard people

And their negligent child-rearing ways!

[edbermac]

15. A face full of BB's would be an improvement...

:sarcasm:

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. "BBs" = Blonde Bimbos

It's officially a sex scandal!

[LeftHander]

20. I herd it was like 7 or 8 shot...from a 28 gauge

Had it been BB's it would of killed him.

Had it been a 20 or 12 gauge....it would of likely killed him....
