Sour Grapes

Via D-Day comes this from the Miami Herald:
South Florida Republicans held a weekly meeting at a gun range, shooting at targets including cut-outs of a Muslim holding a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

The GOP candidate to replace U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz fired at a full-body silhouette with "DWS" written next to its head.

Wasserman Schultz declined comment, but the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called the Tuesday event "extremist" and "sexist."

Robert Lowry, who's vying for Wasserman Schultz's seat, initially described his target as a joke. Minutes later, he called it a mistake.

Others refused to apologize for the Southeast Broward Republican Club event, featuring assault rifles and handguns. A conservative activist said they should stand up for their beliefs in the heavily Democratic county.

The right to riddle your opponent with bullets in effigy I believe is in the Bill of Rights, right after the Right To Call I Was Just Kidding After Being Busted On Overt Displays Of Violence. It's like totally in one of those Amendments, really.

It's a living document, anyways.
