I'm going to go with Brigitte on this one, though. Regardless of which side of whatever issue you're on, calling for the assassination of your enemies is always in poor taste, rarely funny, and very occasionally, really, really dangerous.

I am sick and tired of the double standard. If a Conservative male had joked about somebody shooting Antonia Zerbisias she would be howling about sexism, misogyny and demanding his head on a platter. Like most lefties, she can dish it out but can't take it. Michelle Malkin should ask the RCMP to investigate.

Thank you Andrea! The others are either stupid, or deliberately distorted my Tweet for political reasons. ”I do think Zerbisias was trying to be funny, and possibly more at Cheney’s expense than Malkin’s”
