"First of all, not only "liberals" are saying this. If the map was that innocent, why did Palin's staff remove it so quickly?"
Great question. Same reason the daily kos removed their bullseye map I guess. Damage control "In addition to the map, Palin used consistent gun metaphors and imagery; Lock and load, don't retreat, reload, etc. To do that, then claim your gunsights aren't gunsights is just plain lying." No, it's disingenuous. Technically, they are surveying symbols. Probably a matter of luck that they chose those. Still, there are numerous times I have seen those on the other side of the aisle use such gimmicks to skirt issues and cover their asses. Doesn't make it right, but it's SOP in politics. That said, what about the those bulls-eyes put out by the Democrats on their target maps? I doubt the shooter was scoping (pun intended) Palin's site. Daily Kos? You betcha. Just some more food for thought: "That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida. Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him." - Rep.
