Of course it was stupid for palin to use a cross-hair symbol (note that she nor anyone else called it a surveyor's symbol until the shooting).

The very fact that you are having to defend its use proves its stupidity.

It doesn’t need defending. People use metaphors like this all the time in politics, and a graphic representation of “targeting” an opponent’s district is rather mild.

I think it’s stupid for any of Palin’s people to describe them as anything other than cross-hairs. Defending it makes it sounds like it’s something that needs defense.

If I were her PR mouthpiece, (there’s a scary thought) any time it was brought up I’d say it was the printed equivalent of Obama saying “If they bring a knife, We’ll bring a gun”.
