Missouri Democrats in the Crosshairs

A while back we teased the Boone County Democrats for a very unfortunate mailer that featured a baby in a stew pot and a bulls eye painted around the word “Democrat.”  Seriously.

Now the state party has gotten in on the craziness and has adopted a target for their logo for the 2012 cycle. I don’t know when the new web site look was launched, and I am sorry I missed it.

In the aftermath of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, everyone was examining the use of violent rhetoric, especially liberal Democrats. So it is breathtaking that Missouri Democrats have adopted the target as their main visual. Perhaps they mean to reference Karl Marx’s assertion that, “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.” If the Giffords shooting is the tragedy, clearly, Missouri Democrats are the farce.

Speaking of farce, the logo does add new meaning to the tag for the Tommy Sower’s ad campaign. Now we know at what Tommy was shooting.
