We live in an age where we feel forced to be politically correct about everything, in fear that if we say one wrong thing we are going to offend people. After the shooting in Arizona according to CNN it is now politically incorrect to say the word "cross hairs" when talking about politicians. Here is a quote from John King on CNN.
“From before we go to break, I want to make a quick point. We were just having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race just a moment ago. My friend Andy Shaw who now works for a good government group out there used the term in the cross hairs, talking about the candidates out there. We’re trying. We’re trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend. He’s covered politics for a long time, but we’re trying to get away from using that kind of language. We won’t always be perfect. We try to meet your standards.”
