It’s Come to This: CNN Apologizes for Using Word “Crosshairs” on Air…
Tragedy averted.
Via RCP:
CNN’s John King: “Before we go to break, I want to make a quick point. We were having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race. My friend Andy Shaw used the term ‘in the crosshairs’ in talking about the candidates. We’re trying, we’re trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend, he’s covered politics for a long time, but we’re trying to get away from that kind of language.”

What a P.C. Power Pussy!
I bet if Target offered to sponsor some of their shows, they would take the money with out skipping a beat.
CNN used the C-word on air?
OMG!
Poor John King, give him enough rope and he’ll hang him…..whoops, never mind.
Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Need to stop using the phrase: Political campaigns. Too much like war and killing and violence and such.
They need to start calling them: Political fluffy bunny hug therapy sessions.
Let’s give all candidates for that race a ‘Participant’ trophy. We still have their self-esteem to worry about.
.
We’re bending over now and taking it up the PC poop shoot. We’re becoming a sad, pathetic, weakass country.
I don’t want to “beat” a dead horse but let’s “get a bead” on this, let’s “pinpoint” the problem, dispense with words like “cross hairs, campaigns and targets”.
Did anyone tell the Mr. Miller at the NYT?

…and his wife Dana Bash seen giving him the nod of approval.
O-Team giving him a big pat on the head, he’ll be first in line at WH functions.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step John.
OMFG lets all wet our pants!
Pretty soon ANY speech will be banned if liberal progressives continue to have their way. The inmates are in control of the asylum.
It would be much easier for him to say “crosshairs” if he took his balls out of his mouth & put them back in his pants.
Soooooooooooooooo sick of having to tip toe around land mines because it might upset or offend someone. Way too much PC going on. All needs to be scraped and allow everyone to speak their mind honestly. However that comes off. All this being so careful is so disingenuous. Same with “hate crimes” this country really has become sissified.
Nuke ‘em.
Yes he apologized, because Johnnie is a true left-wing schlub. Must stay on message: Conservatives are kulaks. Must destroy them. Can’t give them an opening that would expose leftshit hypocracy.
Remember the show on CNN called Crossfire? Maybe they should bring it back!
Limp-willed putz.
Shoulnd’t Target the store change it’s name and logo? It is a bullseye…
One of the finest big game animals out there….the Schultzalo,
common to the MSNBC plains….rarely hunted because it usually
swallows its own foot and chokes to death before one can pull the
trigger. Madcows cross hairs in the mating season. Matthews
makes the Solo-Cam bow….shoot LEFT every time. Wolf,
the Blitzer, is more coyote than dangerous. Yep, the Left is
a game-rich environment. Long live the Second Amendment.
from now on, any political murder is cnn’s fault, no matter the evidence. We just point to this crosshair as evidence that he incited a crazy somewhere
the craziess is truly running the asylum in the media
I bet he sits when he pee’s
I also sit when I pee.
Its easier to wipe my snatch….with one square of course
We’re trying, we’re trying to convince our few dumbass viewers, only Sarah Palin uses that language.
Fixed for the leftist Democrat trash out there.
The network that brought you “Crossfire,” that covers political “campaigns,” that discusses what’s going on “in the trenches,” that looks at “battleground” states from their “war room” using military-style satellite images. Hmm…. I guess CNN is going to have to change their entire studio to look like a McDonald’s playground and we can all talk about bubbles (but not popping them).
MORONS. Politically CORRECT is totally WRONG!
What? These bozobs think “crosshairs” and “targeting” and other words are bad? Why? Because deep down, THEY want to MURDER people? HUH?!!!
