Today, Sarah Palin sent out a Facebook note titled: “Don’t Get Demoralized! Get Organized! Take Back the 20!”
While although I don’t particularly share her stance for the GOP to take over the 20 House of Representative seats up for re-election, I have no problem with her encouraging her following to vote this way. She’s simply exercising her first amendment. You go girl.
So, why then would I say something along the lines of: “Sarah Palin is a dangerous, heinous bitch“? Actually not “along the lines of”, I mean exactly that.
Sarah Palin is dangerous. In her note, she repeatedly eludes to the metaphor of aggressive, mob-like behavior:
“We’ll aim for these races”
“This is just the first salvo in a fight…”
(Def. “Salvo” – an outburst resembling the discharge of firearms or the release of bombs)
“Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight.”
She ends her note with, “Stand tall, America. Real change is coming!” The change that Palin is referencing is the current, “it’s not such a good idea to shoot the representatives that don’t agree with your stance” state of affairs.
The icing on this murder cake is the map used to illustrate which representatives are her targets.
In case anyone missed her subtext, I think the cross hairs did a nice job of making her point perfectly clear.
When you think about it, this was the only logical progression. Step 1: Spread lies to conjure fear. Step 2: Encourage violence. Step 3: When those pesky democrats are finally assassinated, finally become president.

Ozzie is unemployed, Harriet is bringing home the bacon. Gays are out of the closet and "minorities" will soon be majority.
NOT understanding this is what makes her dangerous.
the america that we want to live in again is all about freedom and NOT LETTING THE GOVT tell us what our freedom is !
that is not what our founders intended. you below me, get ur head out of yer ass. your an idiot that doesnt know anything. watch fox moron.
you guys are just lying just to try and get more ppl to hate what you hate. your using the two way media perception to justisfy your crap.
the crosshairs represent the person thats being taken out of power. not to be killed. the crosshairs represent the rep or sen being removed for VOTING FOR A BILL THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT WANT !!!!! THAT IS TYRANNY !!!
thats why they are there. you guys got us this time, paybacks comming. you even got democrats backing the republicans so that they repeal the healthcare bill. you go think about that one for awhile.
during bush you all were screaming tyrant b/c your voices werent heard by the admistration to end the war, what you libtards dont understand is that NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE COUNTRY IS NOT UP FOR PROTEST.
our lives are being defended and thats it. enough of the smearing of the troops to justify you hating war when you guys have been waging it on freedom for the last 100 years and havent stopped.
i dont condone torture but they are isolated cases only anyway. that doesnt justify ending the war either. a few people gimme a break. enough of the poor make me feel bad stories. i dont care. im not a liberal/ progressive.
