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.
Agreed.
I also think we empower the beltway types too much by reacting. To think Sarah or Glen Beck had anything at all to do with this is absolute lunacy.
“You never give your enemy a hammer to smack you with.”
True, but even if they didn’t have any supposed “evidence”, they would just make it up anyways (the “N-word” supposedly being chanted before the Obamacare vote; people “spitting” on black congressmen; fabricated quotes from Rush about “praising” slavery, etc, etc). That’s what they do.
What is truly stupid is for normal people to dumb down their language and communications to avoid upsetting the limited intellect of the "progressive crowd" of Obama/Pelosi/Reid/DU voters.
English comprehension and anger management is their problem.
Palin doesn't advocate violence.
Palin's image was that of a land surveyor's scope.
Even so, there isn't a shred of evidence that the killer saw Palin's image and there isn't a shred of evidence that the killer mistook the land surveyor's target for a gun target.
The truth is on the side of Palin.
When one walks on egg shells such as yourself, worrying about what lies and false accusations may be used against them, one as lost the battle.
Palin hasn't given the enemy a hammer to smack her with. It's her enemy who brings its own hammer and it's you who wishes to appease the enemy instead of standing up for the simple truth.
BTW, it's hypocritcal that you use the words "hammer", "smack" in describing a violent action against Palin, whilst you criticize Palin for using a land surveyors target, when she targets Democrats.
Of course I don't expect you to understand that.
When Fred Phelps protests at one of you families funerals, are you going to invite him in for tea?
True. But, the enemy has outdone themselves this time with their vileness. This hearkens back to when they blamed the OKC Bombing on our side.
Marshmallows or fuzzy sheep should be used.
