Well, it looks like the right's going ALL-IN, defending Palin's 'crosshair' tactics...

[johnnyrocket]

...they will NOT acknowledge whats so very obvious. Or they'll try to squirm out with a "surveyors mark" explanation, or simply try to shutdown the messenger by calling them "political".

When your argument is "you're making this political", I'd say you don't have the facts on your side.

[aquart]

1. Yup.

[hedgehog]

2. Let them. Every time they deny this, someone who wasn't paying attention before

is going to sit up and take notice!

[Chimichurri]

6. absolutely. I love how tone deaf they are.

[SugarShack]

15. Exactly, she is NOT presidential nor professional, imagine anyone in office with this crap on their

site. It would NEVER fly. The media used her to conjure up hate and anger and she allowed it all.

[Chimichurri]

16. The media dutifully regurgitated her talking points. No one used her, she used them.

[msongs]

3. Great! the more they defend it, the more publicity it will get lol nt

[RagAss]

4. Good...The more they stir the shit...the more it stinks.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Within a couple hours of these horrible murders

I managed to get onto FreakRepublik's website, where I saw the 'surveyor's mark' meme in full flower. I'll give the RW one thing: they've got propaganda down to a science.

[madmax]

8. Did you read the post that read, Robert Mueller was speaking

on CNN and not on but, 2 turds asked, 'who is Robert Mueller'. Most of them are illiterate, racist, gun nuts, or religious fanatics. Fuck'em

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Yeah, they don't even recognize the director of the FBI

but they're all obedient little polly parrots spouting the same 'surveyor's marks' line within moments of the shootings. Fucking automatons!

[madmax]

7. I have faith that the majority of Americans will collectively

turn their backs on Palin and all of those like her. Perhaps even some 'sane' Republicans will pay the price for this butchery.

Remember Obama won by a large margin. People don't always have their heads up their asses. When something this big happens they stop, listen and go hmmmmmm.

[RainDog]

12. I hope you're right

I think there are a lot of decent people in this nation and the media does them all a disservice to promote right wing hate as a viable political option.

[gratuitous]

9. You figure by Tuesday, we'll hear from Ann Coulter?

About how sick she is of hearing about the survivors of the Tucson massacre, and what a bunch of fame whores the families are? Or will she wait a full week?

[upi402]

10. CNN and Fox are providing the talking points

or have had talking points provided, more likely.

Clinton's Gergen was blaming liberals and telling US to tone down the rhetoric.


WQretch

[Vattel]

20. The Palin-is-a-murderer rhetoric should be toned down

She is irresponsible, stupid, and hateful, but she didn't commit murder yesterday.

[kestrel91316]

23. I disagree. I consider her responsible. She effectively ordered a hit on Giffords.

She's like Charlie Manson, in drag. Gets her evil sockpuppets to do her bidding from afar so she can deny culpability.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. Let's get the proof, then, that this guy saw that website

If it can be proven that he ever once even glanced at it, I'd be 100% for arresting her.

[rbrnmw]

22. I am so mad at these irresponsible "journalists and pundits"

They are all Psychopathic Swine

[lovemydog]

13. So true

When you're argument is "you're making this political", I'd say you don't have the facts on you're side.

So true. Well said.

[Motown_Johnny]

14. go do an image search for survey maps, no cross hairs on any of them

[robinlynne]

18. great point.

[robinlynne]

17. It IS absolutely 100% political. It was a politically motivated murder.

attempted murder, in Gifford's case.

[johnnyrocket]

19. Here's a Palin tweet that pretty damming at to the marks..

[David__77]

21. It's already "political," and now it's turned deadly.

How is this not a political question - the assassination of elected officials with clear, premeditated political motive?

[Swamp Rat]

25. So, why did Sarah remove it from cyberspace?

[Quantess]

26. Yeah dude, it's Texas Hold Em Poker! I wish.

The sad fact is, the cards are stacked against us. The big corporations have already won. The big corporations control the US media. The playing field is not even, not at all.
