Well, you would have thought she was going to drop bombs on
those areas the way the Lamestream media made it out. We heard nothing but
criticism of the incident for weeks after.
Now we have a Democrat running for Congress in a Washington
State district actually shooting a stuffed elephant with a shotgun! And what
have we heard about this? Not much.
There is a YouTube video showing his campaign ad, and I
found a piece from ABC News seemingly buried on the internet, but nothing like
the weeks of “reporting” following Palin’s crosshairs incident.
Here is an excerpt from the ABC piece:
The video opened with Beltran posing in a high-desert
landscape.
“They call me a long shot. They say I can't win in this
district,” his voice-over says. “But what happens to an elephant when it stands
around, doing nothing, for too long?”
The camera panned to an elephant piñata, and then back to
Beltran, who blasted it in the backside with a pump-action shotgun.
“My name is Estakio Beltran,” he said. “And I approved
this message.”
Beltran then rode off on a donkey toward a sign pointing
toward the U.S. Capitol.
Apparently, at least one Democrat was offended by the ad.
Former Arizona Congresswoman, Gabriel Giffords and her husband Mark have taken
issue with Beltran, but not for targeting the symbol of the Republican party,
for using a gun to do it.
Wow, I am amazed too! I didn’t thing anyone in one of the
most liberal states would even have a gun, let alone a Democrat.
“The purpose of the video was to call attention to a
do-nothing Congress in need of a kick in the butt,” campaign spokesman Grady
O'Brien said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
Well I agree. But it is the Democrats that need a “kick in
the butt.” Nancy Pelosi and the 70 Congressional card-carrying members of the
Socialist Party of America need to be booted out of office at the very least.
Although Sarah Palin’s crosshairs incident was front-page
news, a Democrat blowing apart the symbol of the Republican Party with a
shotgun seems hardly worth mentioning by the major news outlets. Do you suppose
that if he had used an AK47 we might have heard about it? I wonder whether he
used environmentally friendly steel shot or that nasty old lead. Do you think
his shotgun was registered? Did it use microstamping? Will this violent act
promote more mass killing of elephants? And what about the donkey he rode off
on; isn’t that animal cruelty? Where’s PETA when things like this happen?
We may never know the answer to these questions, since the
incident won’t stir up a frenzy like having crosshairs on a map.
