I haven't kept up with this thread, but I just wanted to see it was wonderful to hear that Miss Nancy Pelosi was present for Rep. Giffords eyes opening the first time. Nothing short of miraculous and every day she gets stronger, and we all have the dcotors and Miss Nancy Pelosi to thank. :)

I just wanted you to admit it, to be honest. :D Like I said, evenn if they were targets, the only thing I think Palin might be guilty of is poor taste in her symbols. (And given the political climate, it's not like she was the only one. Tea partiers seem more explicit with their violent rhetoric, but there's plenty of examples from all parties.)
I always do when shown, and I do believe in giving people the benefit of doubt.

Targets, bullseyes, whatever...

Political politics is the commonplace for such things anyway. The left is always hypocritical of such things. The tactics they use all the time o unchallenged as unethical, but the moment the right does what the left does... it becomes news. Do you think that's right?

The truth is this:

Palin used crosshairs in the graphic.

The representative who was shot previously complained about the crosshairs.

Some douchebags tried to tie the graphic directly to the shooting.

Palin distastefully whined about the attempts by the douchebags to tie the graphic directly to the shooting.

Palin's approval numbers fell and her disapproval ratings rose in the wake of her whining.

And here we are.

Distastefully? If someone tried to call me an accessory to murder I would laugh in their face and tell them to fuck off. She handled it better than that.

Palin is far too much of a polarizing figure in American politics to be concerned with poll ratings. She made $14 million last year brah; keep thinking she cares. This video was merely a formality to give the ladies and gentlemen over at MSNBC who are dependent on her political actions something to wake up in the morning for.

A recent wgaf poll showed that 70% of the American population had never even heard the term blood libel before Palin used it in her speech. If you look up the definition of libel and put blood in front of it, it makes sense in the context to which she was using it.

Okay, I admit to having watched this clip for the very first time this morning. And, I watched it carefully all the way through.

Nowhere does Congresswoman Giffords claim the SarahPAC ad intentionally inferred violence against her.

But, more importantly, in the five minute interview, there were repeated references to the threats and violence of the right. However, in the only clip they showed of a Tea Party rally, there wasn't one sign shown that hinted at violence and no one was shouting threats.

Congresswoman Giffords didn't describe any specific acts of violence or threats either.

As for the incident that prompted the interview, Giffords allowed that she didn't know what prompted it. And, considering DailyKos "targeted" her, put her in the "cross hairs" and that Kos poster boyBlue claimed she was "Dead" to him; I'm certain, had she been inclined to assign blame they would have been given equal suspicion.

The video is full of meaningless political posturing. It's unfortunate she was shot and I am grateful it appears she will recover but, this interview has absolutely nothing to do with the shooting.

You're either being completely disingenuous or completely stupid.

Do we need to go into that?

They are map symbols for location. She was wrong, either not knowing, or by design. If she said they were map symbols, then the left would still hate her. Sometimes, admitting to a lie is less painful. Gets things done and over with. Which the truth is, beats me. I see it as still being either possibility.

Like I said. No matter the truth, libtards will hate her.

You can't accept the truth if it hits you in the face.

She's great because she's on his team. Furthermore, she's great because she's on his team and the other team HATES her.

She's insignificant, yet both sides spend far too much time talking about her. She's a human wedge issue. It's way past time to ignore her.

They're just "Thinking of the Kids!"

Colorado Republicans Push Bill To Allow Guns In Elementary Schools

Colorado Republicans are reloading previous attempts to expand gun rights, bringing back legislation that would allow concealed weapons in schools and let businesses use deadly force against intruders.

Republicans say they want to protect Second Amendment rights, but Democrats accuse them of straying from the job-creation platform both parties promised to focus on this year.

A proposal running simultaneously in the House and Senate would allow concealed weapons on school grounds and college campuses if a person has a permit and another bill would let business owners and employees use deadly force against intruders.

The Colorado legislature is also considering a proposal to eliminate background checks for firearm purchases — increasing the likelihood that guns will fall into the wrong hands. A recent New York Times investigation revealed that ex-convicts are finding it increasingly easy to get their guns back after being released from prison. Thanks to pro-gun lobbyists and Republican legislatures, even felons with histories of stalking and mental health problems have their gun rights restored without any review by judges
