How can we let the Vice President shoot a man while hunting and get away with it? He must be removed from office as soon as possible... Then we can get back to our main job of killing all those unborn babies!

In my thirteen years as a college professor, I’ve never seen joy and celebration that rivals the response to Dick Cheney’s hunting accident. Of course, that’s really saying something. Bringing American professors to laughter is nearly as tough as bringing American feminists to orgasm. It’s a theoretical possibility that is seldom achieved without a workshop.
The liberal reaction to Cheney’s accident may vary slightly from liberal to liberal but there is one common characteristic; namely, these liberals feel morally superior because they’ve never shot someone on a hunting trip....
Of course, the fact that.....

BWAHAHAHA!!!! Another priceless, spot on column by Mike Adams. I LOVE this guy.

FR needs a Pseudoscandal Timeline. No, I don't know how to go about starting one.
I don't care if he was a Republican or a Democrat, he needs to answer for what he did.
I will say however, that I don't like all of the Dem's glee over the incident. Never saw a bunch of so-called 'caring' people so happy over another person getting shot. The entire incident - the shooting, and the subsequent reaction - disgusts me.
No, they just leave interns who don't put out to drown in their cars....
Someone who just emerged from a cave and started watching the MSM's coverage would think that Cheney had deliberately shot the guy and then tried to get someone else to take the blame for him (the latter move a Teddy Kennedy specialty.) This mega-media story should have been a story for about five minutes. It was clearly an accident, Cheney takes full responsibility for it, and nobody tried to cover up anything. The fact that this is the best the dems can come up with is further evidence that they have nothing else--no plans, no ideas, no nuthin'. They just sit around and wait for accidents or verbal faux pas to which they can assign malevolent motives. What a bunch of losers!
Hmmmmm, you saw something the rest of the world didn't? You were an eyewitness to this?
I don't even want to hear Rush, Hannity, or anyone else even mention Cheney's name. This story has been beat to death. I only clicked on this thread because of the intriguing headline.
He failed to mark his target before firing. Absolutely inexcusable.
When the media itself becomes the story, there's something seriously amiss.

I have to take issue with your statements. Cheney deliberately pinted his shotgun and fired at a quail. That happens all the time while qail hunting. And you know he was drinking beer because...?
I don't care if he was a Republican or a Democrat, he needs to answer to what he did.
I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat either, but I'd like to see a link to any reference that will support your accusation.
That's not what you said in your first post; you said Cheney deliberately pointed his shotgun at someone and fired. There's a BIG difference!
A poll of 883 South Dakota bird hunters, conducted before Vice President Dick Cheney's weekend hunting accident, asked: "Have you ever been peppered with shotgun BB's?"
It so happens 484 of the hunters, or about 55 percent, replied "yes." And 365 of them said they were wearing orange vests when sprayed.
The poll was conducted by Pheasant Country ("where pheasant hunters come to roost"), a Web site sponsored by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader newspaper.
Have you ever hunted? Getting hit by birdshot (not buckshot) is pretty common, and anyone who's hunted for longer than 20 years has probably has had some experience with that.
Cheney's friend snuck around Cheney without notifying him of his position, Cheney took responsibility for it, but he certainly didn't "deliberately" take aim at his own friend. That's ridiculous.
Hunting is a dangerous sport, and accidents do happen. But hunting isn't nearly as fatal or dangerous as abortion..which was Adams' point in his article, highlighting the hypocrisy of the liberal.
As to the drinking, I'm going on what the national media is reporting. I know, I know, they're wrong more often than not.
Any way it's looked at, the VP has really stepped in it. The media feeding frenzy, while predictable, fairly disgusts me. Never seen so many people so happy about an innocent bystander getting shot.
Are you a hunter?
LOL - I don't care who you are, THAT's funny. Best line I've read on FR all month.
How can we let the Vice President shoot a man while hunting and get away with it? He must be removed from office as soon as possible... Then we can get back to our main job of killing all those unborn babies!
A hunter friend of mine was critical of Cheney's careless shooting, then went on to tell me about the times he's been hit by birdshot. It happened twice, first time when he was 13.
