"Sarah Palin's political action committee circulated a map that showed the targeted electoral districts of Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs."

I thought we were past this. They were not cross hairs, they were registration marks that I've seen on paper plane folding instructions since a child. They're also used in surveying documents and maps. Sheesh, have these idiots never looked through a rifle scope that has true cross hairs? Modern scopes don't even have that. It's a single line from left to right, top to bottom with a center dot in the middle, followed by smaller dots below it.

they were registration marks

The idea that journalists and publishers of a newspaper are unfamiliar with registration marks is absurd.
