Also, did Palin ever admit those were surveyor symbols and not crosshairs? And then, did she explain why she used a surveyor symbol in her map, seeing that the map has nothing to do with land surveying?
WC, if the average person saw that symbol, what do you think they would say?
Choice A) Those are targets/crosshairs.
Choice B) Those are surveyor symbols.
If choice A, do you think that those were pathetic peope trying to twist the truth?

Anybody claiming those weren't cross hairs is either a complete ing moron or completely ing disingenuous. Either way, it's not looking good.
Seriously WC how the you always manage to be on the indefensible side of every argument is beyond me.
Context is everything.
"surveyor symbol" is pretty much ass-covering bull , everybody god-damned well knows what the symbol meant, just as "A" is a symbol for the first letter in our alphabet that everybody recognizes.
All that does is allows the rabid cool aid drinkers a fig leaf of modesty.
The wing-nuts will say what they've been saying -- that "violent political rhetoric" caused him to "snap".
I agree, especially since nobody's ass needed to be covered.
Who exactly is saying that at this point?
sadly, Palin's people felt the need to cover hers.
I don't know what "average" would be considered. Consioder this. Have you ever seen scope crosshairs go outside the circle? You never see it looking through a scope. I guess the average indocrtinated kid today will believe anything.
Look, I am speaking of those pushing an agenda without doing any homework on the topic. People are prejudiced. We all know that. I won't blame everyone jumping to conclusions, just those pushing the misinformation.
Do you agree or disagree that jumping to the conclusion that they are cross-hairs is a form of prejudice, or not? Seems to me it's pre judging without being properly informed.

To my knowledge, she never got caught up with the BS. Should she waste her time on idiots when others already explained it?
"Everybody know?"
Bull . You're prejudices are showing...
You have to be one dumb mother er to believe that those are surveyor symbols.
Putting surveyor symbols in that poster doesn't even make sense.
Again, they are symbols for a map, to indicate location. Generally used in surveying.
I don't know about you, but I have never looked through a scope, and seen the cross-hairs stretch outside the circle.
Have you?
so was Palin not properly informed?
Remember months ago "bullseye" icon used 2 target the 20 Obamacare-lovin' in bent seats? We won 18 out of 20 (90% success rate;T'aint bad)

Do you think that kids would more readily associate the image with land surveying then crosshairs?
Do you think it makes any sense for someone to use land survey symbols in the aforementioned picture?
I would say we all jump to conclusions. You, after all, assumed that the person who made the picture meant to put land surveyor symbols in there, without knowing. Are you prejudiced in favor of Palin?
That was a typo.
My God.
A bullseye is a target. Crosshairs are what you aim weapons with. Not a proper comparison.
Good comparison...
Liberals to the mind of a child!
They are not only a land surveyor symbol. It is a location symbol for map usage.
You know, I can confidently say that this is where our schools lack the level educating the kids. I know I was exposed to such things in school. I simply forgot until reminded. I'll bet everyone got that as part of their rounded education in the 50's and older schooling.
I am only making the factual observation of what it is. I find those who twist the meaning without evidence carrying a touch of evil with them.
Putting map location symbols on a map that are also used by surveyors make sense to me. I guess you have to be pretty lib ed for them not to.
The crosshairs argument is just as stupid as the "Obama undermined the case against the Arizona shooter in his speech" argument. They could have just used X's or dots on the map but you know what? X's and dots are both used on targets too...all my bow hunting targets use dots. Official nRA .22 targets use X's. What could they have used that you liberal apologists would have approved of? Little ponies? Rainbows? , that probably would have offended PETA and gays. Y'all are a bunch of sensitive little es...
So you are saying Palin is stupid.
OK.
again, Palin was misinformed
I think he's saying she is lib ed.
I have no problem with the crosshairs myself.
I think it's ridiculous to say they aren't.
Just apologize or defend it, but don't lie about it.
It's like the dept of Education and the State of Texas putting a crosshair on UTSA to signify a goal to increase the universities standings amongst the worst schools in the nation, and to stop it from allowing re s and mongols to get physics degrees tbh
