No Sarah, Democrats did NOT use the same kind of political map as you did. [View All]

*DLC - bullseye/target symbol map


Palin's - personalized, gunsight symbol map


Target stores - trademark bullseye symbol


When I see Palin's, personalized, gun specific crosshair symbol, I think about firing a gun. When I see the *DLC, bullseye map above, I think about a friendly game of darts or shopping at the local Target store.

Plainly put, there is a difference between a bullseye and crosshairs. Especially when the (crosshair) symbolism in question, is coupled with reload, armed and dangerous, second amendment remedy rhetoric.

Palin referred to her map symbol as a "bullseye" some time ago, in order to push back against critics. However, after the tragedy in Arizona, a Palin staffer suggested it was a surveyor symbol. Neither assertion is credible, IMO. Palin used a crosshair symbol and left her controversial map online, long after Gabby Giffords expressed concern about this issue. Sadly, (to my understanding) Palin did not take down her map, until Gabby Giffords took a bullet to the head, and others lay dead and/or wounded in Arizona.
