Crosshairs not really gunsights... umm.. sure - Sam3 - 01-11-2011
An aide to Sarah Palin claims the crosshairs depicted in her now-infamous target list of Democrats were not actually gun-sights, and that it's "obscene" and "appalling" to blame Palin for the shooting.
"We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights. It was simply cross-hairs like you'd see on maps," said Rebecca Mansour on the Tammy Bruce radio show.
From the article: Cross-hairs on target list not actually gunsights
Hmm... not many maps that I know of that use cross-hairs for destinations.

This guy was more likely to go on a rmapage if he didn't like your grammar. Let it go. Besides, Obama needed his Oklahoma moment. Of course, he might as well have been reading yellow pages. Dry, robotic and emotionless.

It would be stupid to blame Palin for the shooting, whether they were crosshairs or not. kj.

Nothing like letting your bigotry show...once again.
Only recently you complained about 'selective admiration' of politicians http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?2,1070872,1070979#msg-1070979. Where were/are your complaints about Bush or other Repub & Tea Party politicians who were "dry, robotic and emotionless"?

Yeah. Especially Cheney. Did you see this?
"The vice president broke free from the straps that secured him to the bed and lurched at me as he customarily does following a heart procedure," said Reiner. "But instead of trying to strangle me, he wrapped his arms around me in a hug."

Were the graphic entirely innocent, Palin wouldn't have removed it from her web site.

There's crosshairs on a map? Maybe in Alaska.

To shrug off murder and casualty so nonchalantly, and to suggest a politician's potential side-benefit takes precedence in the eyes of his supporters, you sound like an utter asshole when you type things like that.
For the record, Presidents stand up and take notice of tragedy. It's what they do. Part of the job. It's what Americans expect. All of them. Sorry if it wasn't the bullhorn moment you needed, even if you didn't vote for him.
You conveniently left out W's "9/11 moment," standing on the rubble in New York, by the way. Prior to that, his future was far from decided. Care to characterize that tragedy as something Bush needed, making the rest something we should just "let go?"

I am not saying it. His fans are begging him to make this his OC moment. Sorry I have to make you look like a fool. Again.
