An aide to Sarah Palin said images of cross-hairs were never meant to evoke violence, in the Palin camp's first extended comment on yesterday's attack.
" We have nothing whatsoever to do with this," Palin aide. Rebecca Mansour told the talk radio host Tammy Bruce in an interview. "We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights. It was simply cross-hairs like you'd see on maps," she said, suggesting that it is a "surveyor's symbol."
There is "nothing irresponsible about our graphic," she said.
She called attempts to link Palin to the violence "obscene" and "appalling," and said she was "disgusted" with the politicization.
"We can't ban the words 'targeted swing districts' from the English language," she said. "We did nothing wrong here."

It is time for Sarah to sue the crap of out of them. Tie them up in court while we take the next election with Bachman.
Won’t happen. The meme won. Check out the comments board on the NY Daily News Mike Daly article. Whew!
Sarah’s facebook friends list is longer than the Sunday propaganda shows’ viewership.
Two (among many) of the most odious things about the Left is their contempt for truth and their willingness to sink to any depth of depravity to advance their agenda.
This is disgusting. One side blaming the other and it was really due to the fact he is a MENTALLY ILL person. Palin had nothing to do with it. I dont think Giffords would want people at each other’s throats like this.
The Community College he attended refused to let him return without a mental health evaluation. There were some red flags.
It’s the MSM that is ‘targeting’ Palin.
Mansour’s very sharp and a good writer. It will be interesting if she proves to be an effective spokesperson as well. I’m glad she’s getting the message out.
Funny how the state run media fails to mention that the “Daily Kos” placed a Bulls Eye on her and other Dem congress critters.
I think it is fair and accurate to observe off the past 24 hours of media swill, that we have a chattering class with a malformed opinion of their own importance and competence.
I wonder if these people are ever forced to siy in a chair (without a remote) and listen to the blather they expel.
If anyone is to blame, it is the ACLU. There was a time when crazy people were locked up. Now, they roam free causing mayhem where they go.
Her = Gifford
NY Daily News always does these sensational type polls and articles, it’s a leftist rag made for leftist people and readers mostly in NJ & NYC area
Got a link? I didn’t find it on a quick scan. Thanks.
Some Democrat gets capped by some crazy commie....That's not ours to be ashamed of !
Freedom STILL must be defended.
Your respect for truth does you great honor.
Leftists' contempt for truth exposes them for what they are. Note tagline.
“Two (among many) of the most odious things about the Left is their contempt for truth and their willingness to sink to any depth of depravity to advance their agenda.”
You’re right. There is absolutely no event that they won’t exploit for political ends and there is no hesitation to distort it to engage in smear campaigns.
Wow...the Dems have finally caught “Our Holocaust” syndrome.
Obama says if they bring a knife we bring a gun.
Our fearless preaches violence. Not the Tea Party.
