In which I reproduce a Tweet for posterity.

A sufficient number people reacted to this Tweet that I thought that I might as well repeat it here:

Today, @ewerickson discovered how to trigger in the Left the same emotional reaction that normal people associate with burning the flag.

…Just in case Twitter ever goes down, or something. Background here: obviously, it’s in reference to Erick Erickson’s perfectly understandable* decision to punch small holes in pieces of paper in response to that odious NYT editorial. At any rate: I was fond of how that particular tweet came out.

*You can tell that the people screaming about Erick have never done any kind of target shooting, including archery.  When I was messing about with bows as a young adult – my SCA household has a remarkable number of archers in it, so it was fresh air and good company  – we used to use all sorts of things for target practice. Including representations of stuff that we didn’t like.  And yet… none of us ever murdered anybody.  It’s a puzzler!
