Rep. Eric Cantor was one of "targets" with a bullseye on him. He was later threatened numerous times during the weeks before Obamacare passed, and a bullet was "randomly fired" at his campaign office window...

BTTT
Just say NO to drugs.
Please tell me this is not serious. Where are the adults? Neither use of symbols can be blamed as cause for the actions of deranged individuals. The gun didn’t do it, T.V. nor Radio talk shows did it. Second-hand smoke, nor transfat, nor salt, did it.
It must have been Bush! (sarc)
Democrats are idiots, but I digress.
And those slandering Palin and the tea party, had the assassin been successful in killing Cantor, would have said they were sorry it happened but that he should have known he was inciting people to violence and would have blamed him for it rather than the assassin - called for us to "understand" the assassin.
And as has been pointed out numerous times before...Palin's "crosshairs" are not "crosshairs" but a map marker or surveyor's symbol with no reference to weaponry at all.
Thanks for posting this...very enlightening to say the least.
The fact is that both the bullseye and the cross-hairs imagery is damned stupid. A few of us here called it such back when it first popped up. We knew that it would someday be used against Palin...not a hard prediction to make. And for that reason we considered it stupid. You never give your enemy a hammer to smack you with.
They are the biggest crybaby hypocrites. No wonder people are leaving them in droves
The dim party is the the VILLAGE OF IDIOTS that has been missing.

This is too funny! Democrats are silly people.
By the way, there seems to be a major effort on the part of left-leaning folk to blame these shootings on Palin, Angle, Bachmann, etc., because they used “violent” rhetoric.
Thanks for the target maps from each side.
I’ve forwarded them to a number of liberals who are screaming about right wing hate speech being the cause of violence and murder.
These two maps completely negates their frantic attempts to link all violence and death to the right.
How silly can everyone be on both sides? Target sites and marks on a map didn’t persuade this kid to kill anyone. Both sides are so intent on blaming the other side with this silly notion of targets and cross hairs. The kid wasn’t that clever to take a hint, he was just nuts in the head.
Ping.
This on top of the DLC in 2004 and Daily Kos targeting Gabrielle Giffords in 2008.
Sarah Palin’s use of crosshairs to target Democratic House incumbents is dangerous symbolism, Democrats say.
But a party spokesman says it’s “a stretch” to compare Palin’s imagery to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s use of red and white bullseyes last year to target Republican incumbents.
That rat party spokesman better find a new pusher.
The bad Heroin he's shooting up is damaging his brain - and eyesight.
(if 'something' is 'targetted', then its IN the 'crosshairs'. It's same-same, ya bozo)
