[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 949149, member: 52972"] TJR, I agree that no politician should use those kinds of symbols or references to violence and the use of weapons to solve issues. Using cross-hairs on a map is not as suggestive as if she had put the cross-hairs on photos of the candidates. I certainly don't think Sarah Palin is Presidential material primarily because she tends to "Shoot from the Lip", however I don't think her statements or the use of cross-hairs on a map to target certain congressional districts instigated this attack in Arizona. In fact, we don't even know if the shooter even seen Palin's map and cross-hairs, or heard her speach where she said "Don't Retreat, Reload", but it appears that all of Palins political critics have jumped to that conclusion. My point is that people always jump to the conclusion that these nuts would not have done these terrible deeds had it not been for some kind of vague symbolism of violence that triggered their violence. Immediately everybody wants to blame something, or someone else for the actions of a deranged person? I think Palin used poor judgement in using cross-hairs on her map, and for her "Reload" comments. And it will probably hurt her credibility as candidate for any political office, but I do not believe it was "Wreckless" as you feel it was. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
