J.D. Hayworth Prowls The Night In Search Of Blood By Jonathan Chait - The New Republic


J.D. Hayworth believes a John McCain supporter has called for his assassination:

Hayworth also took issue with a quote in the article from former GOP state Attorney General Grant Woods —
a McCain supporter — who said of Hayworth, “Someone needs to drive a wooden stake through this guy’s heart.”

“This cavalier death threat that he issued is over the top,” Hayworth said.

“If Grant Woods had a shred of decency he would apologize for what amounts to a death threat,” he said. “For Mr. Woods to issue a death threat in a national magazine like Newsweek is way beyond the pale.”

I'm pretty sure that was a metaphor. You see, Mr. Hayworth, in the popular culture, there's this evil figure called "Dracula." He can only be killed by driving a stake through his heart. Generally speaking, driving a stake through the heart is not considered an efficient way of killing regular people.

Great Quote on Hayworth after JD's 'lame attempt' to knock John McCain:

McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers said: “It sounds like Mr. Hayworth is off his meds. His flailing attacks reflect the panic that’s taken over at Hayworth HQ"

JD cannot find anything intelligent to say about policy, this is his unintelligent way of attracting media attention! He needs to learn the definition of a metaphor.
