Arizona Democrat Gabrielle Giffords was placed on Sarah Palin's "target map"

No motives have emerged from today’s senseless shooting in Tucson, but Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has a long history of being targeted by the Tea Party—sometimes in violent terms.

In the run-up to 2010’s heated midterm elections, Arizona Democrat Gabrielle Giffords was placed on Sarah Palin's "target map," released in March, which featured gun crosshairs superimposed over her target's districts on a United States map. The graphic was removed from Palin’s website today. Palin has released a statement, saying her “sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona.”

Giffords' Republican opponent in the race, Jesse Kelly, whom she narrowly defeated, held a campaign event in which he invited supporters to shoot a machine gun. “Get on target for victory,” an ad for the event read. “Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully a automatic M16 with Jesse Kelley,” the ad continued.

LOL you're just getting around to posting that? hahahahaha the fark.com libtards had it up in the first 15 minutes. You are like the last parrot in the pet shop to squawk
 
She should have known that this Target Map was going to bite her in the ass. I remember the contraversy when it occured.

If this killer turns out to have any ties to the TEA party Palin should apologise for the Target Map.
 
Totally fucking bs~

This map was specific to voters "voting out" public officials. That you attempt to connect it to a whacked out 21 year old anti government; anti God nut is ironically typical of the intellectually lazy ugliness of the shooter.
 
Back when Palin put this out many Democrats complained that it was promoting such action as happened today.

Connected or not, its egg on Palin's face.

Then why did Palin remove the map from her website today?

The underlying threats of violence and using gun sights and target is not only irresponsible, it is dangerous. This country has seen enough political assassinations. You fucking right wingers need to either grow up, or move to Russia, where liberals are constant targets for murder.

Likely because of assholes like yourself promulgating the false connection~

Growing up would require idiots to stop making ridiculous accusations. NO WHERE has this nut connected Sarah Palin...yet you fucking jump at the chance-go figure~

I kind of agree, but seriously - do they have to be cross-hairs?
 
It was in poor taste back then, its in poor taste today. Sarah will never issue such propaganda again, Im sure of that.

Two dead Palin tactics...

1) Drill baby Drill.
2) Cross hairs over "targeted" canidates.
 
what a sad state of affairs that assholes like bfgrn are using this terrible tragedy to try and smear people and score political points

TOO late Sarah. You can't use violent imagery and rhetoric and then send your condolences. The bullets CAN'T be taken back Sarah.

are you blaming her for this?

I'm saying that what she did was irresponsible and DANGEROUS. I said it when she first put the map out.

Do YOU think it is responsible and benign in a nation that has been traumatized by violent assassinations?
