1. Thet billboard doesn't say "straight shooter" to me

It looks like someone taking potshots randomly in order to inflict wanton damage.

So it's perfect for Limbaugh.

9. Yep. A "straight shooter" would use a scope with cross-hairs. nt

10. Maybe it was originally supposed to say...

..."Straight Shitter".

:shrug:

2. On Edit! Heck yes that's tacky!

Sorry, I DONT know how I missed the bullet holes.

WITHOUT the holes, it's just an expression.

6. You guys should write to that station and demand that

they take it down especially after the Saturday massacre.

[Erose999]

7. Fake bullet holes. Classy. You think I can get some of them

for my pick-up truck?

[Ghost in the Machine]

8. Tasteless & Limbaugh go hand in hand

just sayin'....

11. I totally interpreted this differently!

If anything, it makes him look like another whacko assassin type -- not a good thing.

"Straight Shooter" doesn't make any sense either; there's bullet holes all over the place, perhaps an allegory to how disjointed and ridiculous his ravings tend to be. It's strikes me as ironically humorous.

I'm willing to submit I may be too informed and probably overthinking it.

12. Why did they take it down?

There was nothing in it that remotely hinted at violence, right?

They tell us they're doing nothing wrong, but then they pull their graphics and videos. If there was nothing wrong with Glenn Beck's pistol picture on his website, why did he remove it? If there was nothing hateful, and no hint of violence in Sarah Palin's cross hair map, why remove it? If her video was so appropriate, why delete it?
