So much for 'toning down' the rhetoric! Now he's
got us all in his sights. Go figure.

"...by announcing that "we're trying to get away" 
from "crosshairs" and other allegedly incendiary 
language, CNN is aligning itself with those who 
blame "rhetoric" for the killings.  And by doing 
that -- plus inviting the public to "hold us 
accountable" -- CNN could open itself up to an 
examination of its own uses of the word and 
accusations that it helped create an environment 
that led to violence.  Does that make any sense 
at all?"

'Before banning 'crosshairs,' CNN used it to refer 
to Palin, Bachmann'
