Democrats angered by display at fair involving toy gun, picture of Senator McCaskill
Source: KCTV
It involved shooting a toy gun at a target with a picture of Senator Claire McCaskill and other lawmakers on it.
It was created by two Cass County Republicans who say the political game is designed to help kids learn.
However, the game used a toy gun to shoot the issues and that raised concern with some people in Holden.
I just find it unacceptable, said Raymond James with the Johnson County Democrats. Unacceptable.

a rock/hard-place situation. Say nothing, say something, lose-lose.

(19,204 posts)Donald Trump has so lowered the level of political and racial discourse in this country that it will take decades to overcome. We may have to wait for each and every "deplorable" in this country to be planted six feet down, and then we can only hope that their children don't turn out the same way.
Trump is a one-idiot wrecking crew. Everything he's touched since coming to Washington has turned to pure shit. We'd better be the winners in this long game, because the winners write the history books. I don't want one positive word penned about The Orange Shit-Stain's brief (but certainly not brief enough) stay in the People's House. He is deserving of nothing but ridicule and scorn, and that's being too kind to him.
This act of "education" by these Republican scum-sucking pigs goes so far past the pale of reason, honor, and basic humanity, we can only call these Republicans diseased monsters, because human beings don't do things like this to each other.
I never totally despised Republicans this way until Donald Trump slithered onto the scene. I disliked them, certainly didn't trust them, and resented their incessant cheating in order to win. Now I loathe them, and if they were to all perish by some designer virus created to kill only members of the GOP, I'd make it a point to piss on each and every one's grave. There isn't a single redeeming quality in the lot of 'em.

And you had RW nut gun shop owners selling target sheets with pics of Clinton, Sanders, and Obama -
And again... we are supposed to "reach out" to these people and understand their "economic anxiety".
