The CNN Vigilante

I would reiterate that CNN's characterization of Citizens United as one of the "fringe militia" groups is a metaphor and is permissible and protected speech under the First Amendment.
And I would reiterate that my characterization of you as an establishment tool selling out your countrymen is a metaphor and is permissible and protected speech under the First Amendment, David Vigilante.

    "Metaphor"?

    I don't think he knows what that word means...

    I'm with jhardin.

    Merriam-Webster:

    METAPHOR:

    1: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money); broadly : figurative language — compare simile
    2: an object, activity, or idea treated as a metaphor : symbol

    CNN didn't compare Citizens United to a "fringe militia," CNN called them a "fringe militia group."

    This is why people hate lawyers.

    David Vigilante. Hah. What did your ancestors do to hang that name on your family?
