Rational rhetoric

It has come to my attention that some people think this is funny:

(There's a real company out there making these, but I'm not going to link to it.)

Memo to anyone who takes this the least bit seriously: This is North Carolina, son. Even the journalists are armed.

Y'all have a nice day.

I think if I were as liberal as some people think I am, then I'd find a t-shirt that read "Rope. Tree. Republican ... " just HIGH-larious. (Plus you've got the alliteration thing going.) But in real life? No, not so much.

So, Lex, you think advocating the murdering of people for their political beliefs is funny? How about the murder of almost 3000 Americans on 9/11? Is that funny to you, too?
