It's one thing and entirely acceptable to come out against a policy or position, and it is quite enough to make or imply death threats against those who put forth proposed policies or positions. I think the local sheriff agrees with you. Who, of course, is being raked of the coals by which cable news channel? Of course! The sheriff must be a communist or something. Republicans are so twisted in knots. Belittling a sheriff for calling out the right wing whackos. |
