Because of "copycat shooters" potential, should DU take down Palin's hit list?

[Kip Humphrey]

out of concern for the other names on Palin's target list,
and because Palin took it down from her site,
I think DU should NOT advertise those names to any other potential shooters,
and Skinner should strip DU servers of the graphic.



Not that DU is riddled with lurking trolls or anything!

1. HELL FUCKING NO.

But gosh, golly, thank you for your concern...

[malaise]

4. One more

HELL FUCKING NO - Palin must be exposed.

[Drale]

2. That image is on the internet

not just on DU. If anyone else on that list is attacked, and lets all hope to god nothing else happens, it will only prove that its Sarah Palins fault. But my point is that if someone is going to do something they can probably find that graphic on google.

[Cleita]

3. It won't matter. It's already out there.

No amount of scrubbing will change that.

[rfranklin]

5. We should replace those names with Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck...

Ann Coulter, Michele Malkin, John Boner, Darryl Issa, Mitch McConnell....

[nolabear]

23. No we shouldn't. It's wrong.

[blogslut]

6. Should Rachel Maddow take it down?

7. Palin took it down to cover her slimy ass. Keep it up, I say.

Rub their faces in their own shit.

[BulletproofLandshark]

8. She needs to own that list.

For now and all time.

[EFerrari]

9. It's not possible to take it down -- it's all over the net.

Hopefully all of those people will take some precautions. :(

[Lucian]

10. This is the stupidest thing I've read all day.

One can find it anywhere on the net now.

[ChoralScholar]

11. If someone's looking for it, they wouldn't come here...

a simple Google search of <Palin crosshairs> would probably turn it up multiple times.

[elocs]

13. Just tried that: 71,900 hits. Being on DU won't make a bit of difference.

Many of the hits are from last spring.

[ChoralScholar]

18. I tried it too on image search, and got the map 5 times on the first page. EOM

[bettyellen]

12. No but Sarah should be picking up the tab for their 24 hour securty detail until she goes on the air

and begs forgiveness and pleas for no one to take her seriously ever again

[WestSeattle2]

19. Sharon Angle should also be held accountable, as well as repug

"leaders" who last fall refused to condemn the idiotic words and actions of those two morons.

McCain and Boehner should be ashamed to come out today and cry over this tragedy, when they were so conspicuously missing in action last fall when demands were made for repug leaders to condemn Palin and Angle.

I'm sure McConnell will soon be falling all over himself to condemn today's shooting as well.

[hlthe2b]

14. It is all over the internet by now, as well it should be... Palin &

her ilck should NOT be able to wriggle out of their complicity.

Absolutely NOT.

[SidDithers]

15. You should write to the President of the Internet...

and ask them to have the image taken down.

Sid

[blondeatlast]

17. I've been beseiged by requests today.

Not going to do it--but thanks for the acknowledgement!

[SidDithers]

21. !!...

:rofl: :applause: :thumbsup:

Sid

[Ikonoklast]

24. Madame President, please make it illegal to post dumb stuff.

Like this OP, full of 'concern'.



Thank you, Your Mightiness.

[blondeatlast]

25. Oh, I do my damndest, and DU mods are top notch, but the crap secretes.

My goodness, does it secrete...

[madinmaryland]

26. Hey wait a second! I know who invented the Internets and you are not the internet president!!

:P

[Tunkamerica]

16. Not that anyone who wanted that info couldn't have gotten it in any number of places

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

20. Absolutely NOT!

[Tatiana]

22. IIRC, Giffords was one of only two members to be re-elected.

Unfortunately, almost all of the "targets" on that damn list were politically taken out.
