AZ Congresswoman...12 others, shot

[Jiro]

Yeah, how so?

How has this shooting incident turned into a "Fuck You Sarah Palin" event?

"Blood Libels"

and?

 

[Steinhauer]

and?

as thorough as your explanation as to how this shooting incident turned into a "Fuck You Sarah Palin" event.


You can't answer in a two word sentence.

The answer is much more complicated than "blood libels".

It has to do with a deep rooted irrational need for liberals to politicize traumatic events and blame them on their political opponents instead of the perpetuator.

Here's the original - I'll find a different map in a few:

 

[nobody456]

Above is a more mainstream example of figuring out risk of seats.

I'll try to find something that is more Palinesque but "liberal" slanted.

 

[nobody456]

Can anybody find a more liberal use of a target map? I don't have Photoshop anymore

"so what we want to do is win seats that are currently held by people who supported the recent health care legislation. Oh good. Make that slogan like that to sort of tie in the crosshair thematic element. Make the states all blue to emphasize the real size of democratic influence and increase that fear that government is HUGE. We win those seats by the retired uncontested so we should really really focus on the other 17!"

You left off the text that accompanied the map:

"We'll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington."

Your map doesn't show where the critical races will be conducted. It doesn't name the candidates. What good is it? None.

Bingo. Why make a map at all if you're a PAC?

Do you really care about what happens in other peoples districts that you can't vote in?

Me? No. I'm not into party politics. But for those who are, it can be very useful for gaining strength for the national party.

Same here. That's why the Palin crosshair map disgusts me. Why take graphics like those seriously? Because you have money tied into it? Bah. Decrease $$$ for political purposes, increase voter participation in local political systems, maybe it might decrease the risk of violent attacks that are political (either as a motive and/or target)

I'm done.

I don't take them seriously but apparently you do. It doesn't bother me but seems to bother you a lot.

If some Jewish people post that they are offended, then other Jewish people can post that they're not offended. Both sides are allowed their opinions.

I realize that, what I said was that Rabbi can only speak for himself, he can't speak for anyone else! Being a Rabbi does not made him the spoke person for all Jewish people! Sarah Palin has the 'right' to say 'blood libel',
and people have the rights to be angry about it and feel it was the 'wrong'
thing to say! I never liked Sarah Palin and always thought she was not all there! I think she is crazy! The more she talk, the more people realize she is not fix to be a president!

There are plenty of other ways to made your point about something , it is a known fact the Sarah Palin is trigger happy and using cross hairs all over a map made it look like she is sending a message out to shot people that voted for the health bill! She could use something else instead of cross hairs to made her point. I do not think a she would had liked it if this was done to her state when she was governor!

Trigger happy? As far as I know, Palin has never shot another human being.

I'm afraid people don't know the difference between metaphors and literalism.


What about President Obama when he said he needed to know "whose asses to kick"? What about when he suggested "hand-to-hand combat" with his political opponents, and stated, "if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun"?

Yep. Can answer in a two word sentence. Boll Libel. That is exactly what turned this into a Fuck Sarah Palin thread.

Funny. I see it more as a deep seated Conservative need to cover up and ignore the societal implications of their innappropriate behaviors.

You don't find the word choice interesting? Or better yet, inflammatory?

Interesting? It used a standard metaphor. Not a big deal.

No more inflammatory than Obama's words.
