Will you condem Dixie's comments?

..."An aide to Sarah Palin is defending the former Alaska governor's controversial campaign target map, saying the circles over certain districts were never meant to be gun sights. However, Palin herself described the symbol as a "bullseye."

Palin's "Take Back the 20" campaign came under renewed fire after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was severely injured by a gunman on Saturday. The campaign featured a map with crosshairs over Giffords' district, along with the districts of 19 other Democratic lawmakers who voted for the health-care bill.

After posting the map on her Facebook page, Palin told her Twitter followers to go there with the message "Don't Retreat -- Instead RELOAD!" At the time, Palin was accused of using unnecessarily violent rhetoric. (After Saturday's shooting, the map was taken down.)..."

So "they took it down long ago"? The report says it was taken down yesterday. Yesterday is long ago?

..."We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights," said Rebecca Mansour, who works for Palin's political action committee, in a radio interview with conservative talk show host Tammy Bruce.

"It's a surveyor's symbol," Bruce suggested. Mansour agreed, adding that the graphic was contracted out to a professional and approved without much thought. "We never imagined, it never occurred to us that anybody would consider it violent," she said. It was simply "crosshairs that you would see on a map"...

Ah, read the story. It appears it was posted recently then removed again. We may both be right, or it may just be a story to make Palin look "bad"...

Honestly I don't care because I don't believe that either Kos's "bulls eye" or Palin's "reload" has had, or will have anything to do with this lunatic. I think that taking this as a chance to progress your political agenda is a disgusting gesture of complete partisan lunacy. It isn't just "hack" level, it comes into full bore putting the poison in the koolade, knowing it is there, and still drinking it.

I will continue pointing it out to anybody who continues to try to press some political point. I'll even use examples to point out the utter hypocrisy evident in such sudden emotive nonsense.

What happened was a tragedy. What happened after with people trying to say it was either liberal or conservative is just disgusting hypocritical political posturing.
