Firing Squad Looms for the Dem Party Oligarchy

Finally, the "firing squad in a circle" line has been a DLC

favorite for years. DLC chief Al From has been pimping it at least
since the last presidential race. It’s time we officially retired this
line, which is really just a sorry take on the lame old high-school guidance-counselor saw: “Now, Jimmy. When you shoot spitballs
at Vice Principal Anderson, you’re really shooting spitballs at
yourself.” And little Jimmy thinks: No, actually, I was shooting spitballs at
Vice Principal Anderson…

An excellent comment on all those on this list infatuated with the
silly phrase.

A phrase that’s apparently been used on this list three times in the
past year, one in a quote forwarded from elsewhere.

Thought you hated reckless generalizations, Carrol.
