Sarah Palin "Crosshairs" Map: Still on Facebook!
by Free Britney at .It turns out that Sarah Palin's controversial list of "targets" in the 2010 elections, which included U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, is still on Facebook.
Giffords was shot over the weekend and is in critical condition.
No one thinks Palin was responsible or even indirectly to blame for the act of lunacy committed by Jared Loughner, but she been getting flack for her fiery rhetoric and apparent gun imagery in the wake of the shooting. Her response?
A Palin staffer defended the above graphic, saying, "We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights ... It was simply crosshairs like you'd see on maps."
Riiiight. Maybe we've been watching too much Sarah Palin's Alaska, but somehow we weren't thinking about cartography when we saw this. Or when she Tweeted at "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America [to] RELOAD!"
How about you? When you think of crosshairs, you think of ...

Folks, those are surveyor symbols, not cross hairs But don't take my word for it, Look it up. "Stay Balanced"...exactly. Thank you.
For all you simple minded Sarah Palin detractors what ever happened to the concept that he who pulls the trigger obviously is the person responsible for his bullet hitting whatever it is that, he with malice of fore thought, intended to hit. In other words, the perp (one who pulled trigger) is not the victim; he is the violent offender. The victim is in fact the perps victim and no one else.
C'mon people. This is not brain surgery. Do you think that Sarah Palin knows more about guns or geography (maps)....based on what we know there is no other possible conclusion than guns and those listed candidates were merely target practice. Afterall when you ask Palin about geography her answer is "I can see Russia from my house"...
I do not think that she condoned a shooting nor has funded or directly assisted in its carrying out, but I do believe that she is not morose in the least that it happened. I actually think that she thinks that 'the less, the better!' in this case or 'Well, at least there's no more worrying about her.' It is quite saddening to see that a tragedy like Tuscon can not help bring our country together to further prevent a problem such as this, but to rather continue to drive us further apart, attempting to direct blame on someone or something and for feeding their motive...
This poll is ridiculous. If given only those two choices one would obviously choose guns over maps... All I see is a target which neither gives me an impression of a gun or a map. Why can't cross-hairs be just that... cross-hairs?
