Palin would no doubt say that she was only speaking in metaphor, that she only meant her followers should work to unseat Giffords and 19 other Democrats who had roused her ire by voting for health care.But anyone with any sense at all knows that violent language can incite actual violence, that metaphor can incite murder. At the very least, Palin added to a climate of violence.
Palin should have taken it as a warning of what might happen when a Tea Party hothead dropped a gun while heckling Giffords at an earlier Congress On Your Corner event, more than a year ago.
That did not stop Palin from declaring Giffords a "target." Giffords' district office was subsequently vandalized, and the congresswoman noted that Palin had put "the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district."
"Metaphor incite murder?" Where? When? Who? WTF? Just one example would be helpful, but apparently Mr. Daly is far too busy drooling his hysterical rant to pay attention to such mundane details as proving such an outrageously stupid charge.
Congratulations are in order to Mr. Daly for topping the rest in vitriolic hate of Sarah Palin. The competition was stiff, but Daly prevailed due to his mindlessly idiotic "analysis" of the tragedy.
I leave it to AT readers to come up with an appropriate prize.
The response to the creeps on the left, is this well known OBAMA QUOTE:
President Obama “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
That is the left.
Isn’t Daly’s headline coupled with Pallin’s picture quite a bit more likely to incite violence than a website graphic?
Should some wack job go after Palin today is Daly going to turn himself in as the one who incited her attack?
Way to to tone down the rhetoric Daly.
I just wonder where I can get the link that people in FR got for the Image. Can You provide it for me? Thanks.

Oops. Sorry. I flushed it.
Giffords said this a while back. Then the sheriff kept bringing it up yesterday. Bottom line is the guy had a permit and it was no big deal.
As for her office being vandalized, the sheriff said yesterday, as fact, that her glass office door had been shot out. It didn’t happen. Any vandal could have kicked her door in but there was no proof of a gun shot. Of course, who needs proof when the “little boy” press is reporting it. I bet everyone of the “reporters” today wrote for their high school newspaper.
As they scream for one side to tone down the rhetoric they shift their own hate filled rhetoric into a foaming at the mouth hyper mode.
I wonder where all of these ‘tone down the rhetoric folks were a few years ago? And has Sarah Palin said anything approaching the vitriol contained in the following?
“The (George W.) Bush administration and the Nazi and communist regimes all engaged in the politics of fear. ... Indeed, the Bush administration has been able to improve on the techniques used by the Nazi and communist propaganda machines.”
— George Soros
“(George W. Bush’s) executive branch has made it a practice to try and control and intimidate news organizations, from PBS to CBS to Newsweek. ... And every day, they unleash squadrons of digital brownshirts to harass and hector any journalist who is critical of the president.”
— Al Gore
— Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.
— Howard Dean, then-Democratic national chairman.
— Harry Belafonte, entertainer and liberal activist.
— Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
— Hillary Clinton
— Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
— Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y.
— Ed Schultz, MSNBC and radio host.
— Rev. Jesse Jackson.
— Rep. Jim McDermott, D - WA.
Giffords HERSELF claimed Palin had “placed a crosshair”. So, it is the congresswoman who injected the rifle scope visual, not Sarah.
I’m sorry this leftist buttwad shot her and those other folks, but the libs need to understand one thing: IT IS THE PERPETRATOR’S FAULT, NOT SOME THIRD PARTY WHO HAS EXPRESSED POLITICAL OPPOSITION.

Obama ordered his liberal minions to punish his enemies.
then, the liberals act surprised when someone follows through on it.
I know smart, intelligent people who are STILL blaming Sarah Palin for this. It speaks volumes to the power of propaganda and media control.

Here’s a good one showing targets on the map. Spread it far and wide.
The left knows that a large percentage of democrat voters are total idiots, easily swayed by anything they hear or read. It’s frightening how many uninformed dolts are out there, and they vote. It’s no wonder our country is in such trouble.
How did they ID the guy as being a Tea Party advocate since no one carries a membership card?
Personally, I fear for her life. The lefties are completely unhinged and will continue to get worse.
You know, I keep seeing the same Image from Daily Kos in every related thread since yesterday. I just don’t know where the original source is... anyone knows?
“Can you just imagine how many democrats would committee suicide if she was elected?”
There was an old song (before my time a bit) called “I Can Dream, Can’t I?”
