Palin spin BULLSHIT from her spokersperson: "We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights,"

[wndycty]

Then Tammy Bruce responds: "It's surveyor's symbols," the interviewer Tammy Bruce suggested.

If that is the fucking case why accompany the graphic with "don't retreat, reload?"

Are you fucking kidding me?

Updated to include Palin tweet contradicting spokesperson

[spanone]

1. they have no choice but to lie....they are expert at it

[Tom Rinaldo]

13. No, they had a choice

They could have said it never occurred to them that anyone could take that political target metaphor literally (even though that too would have been a lie). That would be the best damage control, when you are in a hole stop digging. But Palin only knows how to attack. She will never admit a weakness because beneath her bravado she is nothing but a weakness.

[seabeyond]

2. they look like gun sites, rhetoric describes gun sites.... but really people believe, they are NOT

gun sites. truly.

trust me on that

what bullshit

[tabasco]

3. Stupid lies and coverup

They would be better to keep their mouths shut, but they think everyone is as stupid as their idiot followers.

[spanone]

23. wrong op...sorry

[Whisp]

4. or registration marks on a negative... sure.

anything other than crosshairs which her innuendo screamed out in regards to shooting, arming, reloading, etc. I don't recall her using any 'surveyor' language.

fuck her and the moose she road in on.
hate that evil shit and her ugly soul.

[theothersnippywshrub]

5. Maybe "don't retreat, reload" is part of the Surveyor's Creed. n/t

[Faryn Balyncd]

46. Those surveyor's like to engage their targets!

:sarcasm:

[Skidmore]

6. Are surveyors' markers called targets?

[Heidi]

12. I think they're called marks (survey marks or geodetic marks). Not targets. (nt)

[GiveMeFreedom]

38. Benchmarks or Temporary Benchmarks.

on edit:

Pins driven into the ground and recorded in a surveyor's book are called survey markers or pins.

[Heidi]

48. Thank you! Not "targets," huh? (nt)

[GiveMeFreedom]

60. Surveyours do use

plumb bob targets. These are not gun targets as you can see

[mopinko]

30. crosshairs, yes, targets, no.

my experience in that stuff was short and a long time ago. but no, targets is not even a concept that makes sense. you measure what is there to measure. you don't 'target' anything.

like sarah has a clue that people measure anything. those number things are just, like, you know, who needs 'em.

[Heidi]

7. Recommended. When was the last time a surveyor's theodolite was used to "take back"

a Congressional district? Liars.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

8. The crazy Rightwingnuts will never learn that you can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater......

"there are consequences for words"

[htuttle]

9. "Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?"

[no_hypocrisy]

10. It's "surveyor's symbols" when you cite "minutes" and "seconds",

not "targets".

[Motown_Johnny]

14. self delete

[oldhippie]

27. Actually, the gizmos surveyors sight on are commonly called ....

.... "targets."

http://geodetic.com.au/category1434_1.htm

http://www.rickly.com/survey/prismpoles.htm

[tabasco]

36. Do they reload before they sight on them?

Idiotic spin.

[no_hypocrisy]

41. Duly noted and conceded.

I didn't know that. Thank you.

[no_hypocrisy]

53. I found this as an illustration of a survey's target. Minimal similarity with crosshairs.

[Motown_Johnny]

11. RWers will believe what they want to believe, lying works when addressing them

[tekisui]

15. Good that they are being forced to comment, everyone will see through

this. I hope the pressure keeps up on them.

[madaboutharry]

16. And BTW, this is NOT a duck.

[Barack_America]

17. Correct. It's clearly RIFLE sites.

This guy used a handgun so Palin is absolved. She was directing her followers to use rifles, so this guy couldn't have been motivated by Palin.

:eyes:

[high density]

18. Yeah, I hear surveyors yelling "RELOAD" all the time. NM

[smoogatz]

19. Pathetic.

"Rather, she said, that it was simply 'crosshairs that you would see on a map.'" On what planet do maps have "crosshairs" on them? Who even knows what "surveyor's symbols" look like? If the context wasn't so completely fucking horrific I'd enjoy watching these idiots squirm.

[scarletwoman]

20. That is so totally, cringingly LAME! Any rational person would be utterly embarrassed

to make such a lame justification for something so obvious. But they are incapable of feeling embarrassed. No self-reflection for that crowd. :eyes:

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Dear America. We think you're stupid. We think you'll buy this. ~OR~

We fucked up and need to lie our asses off to have any hope whatsoever to get through this.

[lunatica]

22. A child was killed. No spin is going to work this time

[bullwinkle428]

24. I doubt you'll see worse spin than this for the rest of 2011!

But watch the Repukes prove me wrong.

[smoogatz]

26. I was gonna say. They've got 356 days

to top it.

[SoCalDem]

25. I N S A N E

lying, insane creatures..

[Ilsa]

28. Cowards. Typical for the gun nuts. They are cowards and hide behind

Their guns because they know they'll lose the battle of words and logic.

[PearliePoo2]

29. Palin calls it a bullseye in her own tweets. Here it is:

"Remember months ago 'bullseye' icon used 2 target the 20 Obamacare-lovin' incumbent seats? We won 18 out of 20 (90% success rate;T'aint bad)"

Nice try Sarah. You are a despicable, fucking liar.

[WinkyDink]

39. END OF STORY. Thank you.

[northernlights]

44. well now she's upped her success rate to 95%

so why is she not tweeting about that? despicable coward.

[malaise]

31. Keep digging that hole to oblivion

ReTHUGS

[deminks]

32. Tell me, with what does a surveyor reload? From what does a surveyor retreat? Hmmm? Then they

are directed to the gun site list with a list of Democratic congresspersons names. What are they going to survey there?

[Ilsa]

33. More spew from Palin: "Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember

that it takes blood, sweat and tears to win."

[thecrow]

47. Link please?

[Luminous Animal]

51. Here...

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=375184908434

"In the battle, set your sights on next season’s targets! From the shot across the bow – the first second’s tip-off – your leaders will be in the enemy’s crosshairs, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won’t win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win."

[tnvoter]

34. is that the best thing they can come up with?

Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, puhleeze....:sarcasm:

[lonestarnot]

35. Oh ROFLMAO

:rofl:

[tavalon]

37. You lie Palin

Those aren't surveyors marks, they are cross marks from a rifle siite.

[coalition_unwilling]

43. I'm not a gun freak, although I grew up around them back in

southwest Missouri. I think the marks are what you see when looking through a telescopic attachment to a rifle, not when looking down the barrel of the rifle itself. Think the technical term is a 'target reticle,' but not sure. And relying on my memories of firing rifles from way back.

[Enthusiast]

54. Correct.

They are the cross-hairs from a telescopic (scope) that is mounted to the barrel of a rifle, shotgun or even handgun. I was forced to put a scope on the shotgun I use for deer hunting when my eyesight deteriorated. And many muzzle loading rifles used for deer hunting have scopes mounted on them here in Ohio.

[WinkyDink]

40. Waiting for the DU "no motive; just crazy; random Democrat" crowd........

[Mariana]

42. Please. Even the Freepers aren't buying that bullshit. nt.

[TBF]

45. "Surveyor's symbols" - fucking stupid Palin. nt

[IDemo]

49. Palin spokesperson: "The Google? What is it?"

[City Lights]

50. Too late, Sarah, the blood is on your hands.

Words, pictures, and actions have consequences, and IMO, you knew exactly what you were doing.

[Enthusiast]

52. Well.

Excuse me but Sarah sometimes lies (rarely) but only when it is for a good cause. :sarcasm: :rofl:

[Contrary1]

55. Well; gee whiz, Sarah...I had it all wrong.

Along with millions of other people. :eyes:

Maybe you should have refudiated it months ago.

My bad.

[jberryhill]

56. She should have gone with the classic "I was drunk" and check into rehab

That's how politicians used to do it.

[GReedDiamond]

57. The "surveyors symbols" was something I saw yesterday...

...from a FReeper over in RimJob's cesspool. The FReeper who posted this shit did so with the attitude of, "these stupid libtards don't know a surveyor's mark from a rifle scope" type of insult.

I had mentioned this in a reply to someone's OP from yesterday about Palin's map/hitlist.

You can expect to hear this "explanation" from the Limbaughs and the like in the days ahead.

Tammy Bruce is a particularly vile creature, isn't she?

[cbdo2007]

58. She could win the Tour De France she's backpeddling so fast!!!!

ha ha ha ha, Palin is toast. She is sunk.

[wndycty]

59. The woman is an idiot

:kick:

[whopis01]

61. Hopefully you are right and hopefully it doesn't cost more lives to make it so.

So many deaths are hardly a laughing matter.
