You do realize no one complained about Palin targeting her percieve opponents right?
The complaints were for USING GUN CROSSHAIRS
Yes, I do. As I said, you can talk or write about "targeting" a politician, you talk about putting a "bulls eye" on their district, just don't make a
poster or some other sort of graphic depicting the same idea.
The complaints were indeed about her creating an image using crosshairs. Others were talking about "targets" and "bulls eyes," and that was okay, just don't draw a picture of it, then you're to blame for the actions of every kook out there! Come on TM, seriously?
But continue to pretend that it's all about Palin and the right. They're the only ones who would ever use graphics containing bulls eyes or other such targeting graphics frequently seen on shooting ranges...

ThereÂ’s even a helpful legend that makes it clear thatÂ’s precisely what the little red targets represent:

YouÂ’ll never guess where I found this map. ThatÂ’s right, itÂ’s on the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) website. They
launched the site and the map on February 23rd of this last year, making it just over a month year old.
