I have a “target” market that I might have a “shot” at if my market research is correct. The “target” audience is in my “crosshairs”.. Hold on… brb…The FBI is at the door and MSNBC & CNN served notice of a boycott.

These people are stupid. There’s murder or 2 every month in my city. Some of the local cops go to my church. These murders aren’t happening because some clueless, pompous lib on CNN is using the word crosshairs. This is a subtle but effective smear of Sarah Palin.

Do you see the scam they’re pulling??

  Sorry Broker0101, if you want to be a critic or talk down to people, well, you just have to be correct in every detail. The term is “bated” breath, not “baited”. It means holding ones breath in anticipation while I think “baited” breath would mean having a mouth full of minnows or nightcrawlers. Which you just might.

  We will point our strong opinions in a direction near our opponent, putting forth a strong desire to unseat them with contradictory debate against their position, pointing out the weakness and illogical stance upon which they speak at the next election cycle.
  Interpretation: We will target their seats and aim to throw the bums out in 2012, we will fight them on their words, and bring our strength to bear on election day.

  I think your “fruit punch” would be a hate crime or at minimum gay bashing. Hollywood better pull their noses out of the progressive bungholes and think what they will do to the movie industry given the chance. Seriously Though; If they are successful at suppressing speech to the extent in which they are trying, no one will ever know who the troubled ones are until it’s too late.
