Hat tip to Extremely Extreme Extremist who pointed out long ago that Palin used surveyor symbols, not crosshairs.
Keith Olbermann goes after people by calling them the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I suppose that nightly rant could push a crazy person over the edge, but the liberal media never points that out. Instead, the media talks about toning down the rhetoric like that’s somehow the answer.
Rhetoric isn’t the cause. In fact, rhetoric probably prevents a number of these tragedies from happening. If a crazy person hears his views being expressed forcefully, he’s probably less likely to go on a rampage. But if he doesn’t ever hear his views being expressed, he might be more likely to go on a rampage. So let’s continue to exercise our freedom of speech and not change our behavior just because some nut went off the deep end for reasons God Himself probably can’t even explain.
Let us remember that a Teacher lost his job for using the word “niggardly” (cheap) while teaching class.
That is the reality we face. Outside of the Survey Points being called “crosshairs”, Sarah Palin is known by every Libtard, and the general public unfortunately, as the person who said she could see Russia from her house.
Goebbels, Stalin or any Tyrant knows that when you control the flow of information, the useful idiots will swallow it hook, line and sinker.
Fox gets 3 Million viewers while the Networks get 30 Million viewers and still the Left squeals like a stuck pig.
They want it all, nothing else will do.
THAT’S where I’ve seen them before! Usually in the sales inserts in the newspapers.
Palin/West 2012
Thank you... I didn’t know what it was. I knew it wasn’t a gun sight because the cross hairs don’t extend outside of the circle (circular field of view).
I guess we now have to consider the ignorance of our enemies when we make a statement of fact. Interesting.
Watch out with that picture or Sarah will be accused of being The Zodiac Killer next.
Palin was using it as a metaphor!
Business people refer to target goals, target profits, target markets. In a conversation, when people agree on a concept or action they'll will say, "You're on target."
Look at this trash being posted to harrass Jesse Kelly on his facebook page as we speak:

It's difficult to describe the stupidity these people display - and supposedly people taking a moral high ground - Giffords is in the hospital, people are dead, and they get the idea to go to the facebook page of a former political opponent to harrass him with nonsense? That's what comes to mind in the wake of a tragedy?
Remember the “target” map the left used to attack Palin?
VerumSerum did an excellent job going back to the Dems campaign

Clearly not crosshairs. Also ABSOLUTELY ZERO evidence Palin or tea party politics motivated the gunman yet MSM (repeatedly) are connecting the dots. Have they no shame...?
From yahoo news:
“Giffords expressed similar concern, even before the shooting. In an interview after her office was vandalized, she referred to the animosity against her by conservatives, including Sarah Palin’s decision to list Giffords’ seat as one of the top “targets” in the midterm elections.”
I kept waiting for him to blame Palin or Rush....I bet he had trouble containing himself.
Well, the liberal mental cases were outing themselves all over the tube today, including Geraldo who also blames Sarah and the Tea Partiers and who made a jackass out of himself, as he's been doing for years.

Surveyor symbols?
It pains me to say this but some of you guys are acting like idiot liberals...
Weather Underground uses them for your chosen city.
Tried to make them appear but could not find them on Weather underground. Can you tell me how? Link? Thanks!
I agree. It does look like cross hairs to the normal moronic american people.. To people who own guns and know shooting. It is a serveyors what ever. But to lib Sheeple it is Cross hairs.
“Good point.
but we’re dealing with people who consider anything that shoots a bullet as an “automatic assault weapon””
-That only applies when it’s not one of their own speaking. Loads of politicians are sport hunters and own guns, such as John Kerry. Barack Obama has mentioned the word gun more times than I can count. Politicians have their way of playing, sorry, but someone needs to discuss or belittle the Democrats’ constant accusations made, in a joking manner even, and I mean a politician as well. Because honestly, it shouldn’t just be me as a regular U.S. citizen who sees how full of trash most of this political banter is.
Will make no difference. Liberals have decided from the onset of Obama’s regime that any opposition to him is inherently violent and racist. The proper stance for any opposition to Obama is to keep quiet and/or go along with all the left-liberal schemes. In short, make nice, and only utter an occasional feeble protest.
