"So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said.

    She drew crosshairs on congressional districts and tweeted it with the text “Don’t Retreat, Instead - RELOAD”. That is stated in literally the first paragraph of the article your citing, and I can’t help but feel you’re intentionally misrepresenting it to draw a false equivalency.

      Crosshairs, in a bullseye. It’s the same thing. Republicans at the time were dismissive of the correlation like liberals are about this. Apparently Biden and Co see a connection too as they’ve removed all ads targeting trump.

        I’m a liberal and I agree with you. Don’t use gun-related jargon to talk about your political opponent. Applies to Palin, applies to Biden.

        It’s extremely common to remove attack ads of any kind if something bad happens to your opponent. You might know that if you were an American.

            I’d be interested to hear whether you regularly attend funerals and speak ill of the deceased. They stop their ads for the same reason you don’t shit talk at a funeral: its disrespectful and makes you look like a prick.

                  If I happen to attend their funeral and we are talking about them I might bring up them being an asshole. But this conversation has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand
