Just one more example of how Dirty Hairy plays . Remember his income tax rumors about Romney ... none of which were true ? He should have been sued for libel .
I would have slapped that jackass in the face and demanded a duel on the capitol steps!
But I am really really old fashioned.
I am all for bringing back dueling. In earlier days it's what kept caustic little loudmouths like Anthony Weiner in check. One of the common threads to Ann Barnhardt's observations is the destruction of real masculinity in our culture, and she's right about that. This modern political and pop culture where people -- "men" no less -- are catty and caustic, spewing BS and then hiding under the skirt of the praetorian media or the "decorum" of elected office, the whole thing is unmanly to the extreme. There used to be a sense of honor among gentlemen who were social peers. Lines were not to be crossed without implicitly accepting the likely consequences.
When they start in with their absolutely vile attacks on the decency of a man's wife, as has happened with Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and virtually every woman who is not a Leftist, the
natural male instinct is to stomp the offender to the point that what's left of him can be found wiped off on the doormat. Andrew Jackson knew how to deal with someone insulting his wife.
