Is Arizona the nation's capital for hate, anger, rhetoric and vitriol?

[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 949136, member: 54538"] TrainTrac, I agree that the reaction to Palin's use of the crosshairs graphic has been overboard and, to a certain degree, unmerited. That said--only a fool would believe that they weren't intended to be crosshairs. It's akin to someone hearing something they don't agree with, raising their middle finger, rubbing it on their cheek, and then claiming that they weren't "flipping the bird", but scratching an itch. It's passive-aggressive BS, and the whole world knows it's BS. I'd fully respect your stance if you were trying to defend the use of the crosshairs, the way that RichardL did. He made some interesting points. The same goes for the portion of the Boortz article you linked which shows certain Democrat groups and sites using targets or other such graphics for similar effect. But for you, or Boortz, to claim that that's not how they were intended by Palin? You're both insulting the intelligence of everyone who read that, and you're insulting your own intelligence even more. [/QUOTE]
