"I think you left out an option, Hill: "lefty" asshole."
Oh of course......... we have to be fair and balanced.......and politically correct.........[8|]
"but my gut says that it is most likely Burris himself, in an attempt to garner sympathy and attention."
I was waiting for the inevitable and expected blaming of the victim.The claim they did this horrible act to get sympathy is pretty disgusting.And almost as cruel as killing someone`s beloved pet.
I`m just disappointed that is was a con I respected.
Oh, good grief, Owner ...
None of us know shit about who did it and why.
All I am doing is pointing out that the knee-jerk reactions are based on ignorance and pre-disposed beliefs.
Kill the messenger, why doncha? [;)]
Sorry for harshing ya buddy but I will criticize, as well as compliment.
I was going to suggest early in the thread that an ass-hat would probably suggest what you did but I didn`t want to even mention such a thing,releasing the evil notion onto the world...[8D].....so I didn`t.
But I guess we all know nothing is impossible now a days.
Tell ya what,if what you suggested turns out to be true,I`ll buy you a drink.I`ll even drive to Kentucky to do it in person.

What makes you think this guy Burris is capable of doing what you suggested?
Owner,
I don't know that Burris is capable of it. But, then again, I don't know that he isn't.
My point is that we really don't know much, but the entire thread gave a false dichotomy: x or rightie. Or one who is both. What about "x or leftie"?
I see several options:
1. The cat was hit by a car, and then someone (kids? Burris? Some unnamed "rightie"? Some unnamed "leftie"? decided to take advantage of it or just to tweak Burris in some way.
2. Unnamed "Rightie" did it for purely political reasons.
3. Unnamed "Leftie" did it for purely political reasons.
4. Unnamed Ron Paul supporter did it for political reasons. [8D]
Anyone who would "bludgeon" a cat to death is pretty skankie, however you slice it, if it was done purely for political reasons, and therefore a "crazy" regardless.
But we were given the options of "rightie" or "crazy". Aren't there other options?
You see, here's my thoughts about what may have actually happened. Opinion? Yup. Proof? Nope. But my biases lead me to question "the obvious answer" every time something like this comes up.
First, the 3rd District is heavily Republican. There is almost no chance that a Democrat will get elected. Any Dem running is running a frustrating and doomed longshot.
What kind of Democrats will then run? What is the likelihood of them being well funded? Do you expect them to have the cream of the crop when it comes to professional campaign personnel? What do you think the level of frustration is and will be among such campaign personnel? Or specifically, the guy running the campaign (Burris), who already knows that he has a snowball chance in hell of pulling out a "win"?
Proof? Nope. Just thinking.
Next, think about the killing of his house cat. Most likely, it was an outdoor cat, to be caught like that. An indoor cat might be an easier "kill" if it was outside, but would also be missed very quickly, and likely not out at night, therefore the likelyhood is that it was an outdoor cat.
Ever tried to catch an outdoor cat? Swing something at it? Even if you hit it, those suckers can - and will - scat faster than the dickens if threatened.
Proof? Nope. None. Just thinking.
Next, how would someone "bludgeon" a cat to death, and what would the cat look like if they did? They are pretty small, and a couple of swipes of a baseball bat would do a lot of damage and likely tear them apart, crush the skull, etc. Blood everywhere.
But the article only talks about his eyeball hanging out. The picture doesn't look like a maniac attacked it.
What it feels like is that the cat was hit by a car. That is the kind of blow that will leave an eyeball hanging. A don't see a "maniac" leaving a loosely attached eyeball hanging while they take the time and energy to paint the word "liberal" on the thing.
Could be wrong. No proof. Just more feel.
So, the most likely scenario is that a car hit the cat, and then someone wrote the word "liberal" on it. Possibly Burris because he would have probably found the cat, and then be able to "work on it" in private. A frustrated, maybe angry campaign manager that needed some "oompf" in the campaign, and came upon the right circumstances, and fell pray to a dark impulse ...
Or some kid or prankster who found it, knew Burris and what he was doing, and decided to "have a little fun".
I find either of these scenarios more probable than some "crazy right wing fanatic" seeking out his cat, catching it, being able to "bludgeon" it to death without being heard (ever heard a cat screaming?), and then having the material, time and privacy to paint the word "liberal" on the cat, and then leave it somewhere for Burris to find ....
In a district where the candidate has zero chance of getting elected? Why would a "rightie" take the time and effort?
No, it doesn't wash to me.
Proof? None. Likely never will, in any way.
Firm
