They're right there with the sub-humans who blow up Planned Parenthood clinics snd shoot abortion doctors. These types go beyond any right or left assignation. They're unstable and a danger to others.

C'mon, you're smarter than that. Words that look the same don't always have the same meaning.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 That's the meaning I normally think of too, but SPP used it perfectly correctly. It's weird how some words end up being used for their secondary or tertiary meanings rather than their primary ones, but there are many examples of that - I always think it's interesting.
Originally Posted By jonvn "but SPP used it perfectly correctly." Or designation would be better. Assignation really isn't used in that manner.
Originally Posted By jonvn "But hey, who cares?" Well, it just sounded odd, because it's not really used like that much anymore.
