Whew... HuffPo blog finally stepped up eh? Sweet....
Well it is honestly as bad if not worse. First off she is a politician not a slightly angered and/or even radical citizen. judging from this link here " Sarah Palin's "Crosshairs" Ad is Focus of Gabrielle Giffords Debate - ABC News " This came to seen as a death threat because this also happened in the wake of the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords whose district was on this crosshairs map.
Not only that but Sarah Palin had made comments such as "Its time to make a stand", "Don't retreat. RELOAD" prior to the event.
Athough the Article puts him slightly with the left because of his mentioning of the book communism manifesto on his Myspace it fails to mention he also liked such political books as Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Mein Kampf, and the Republic. Does this make him a Nazi because he liked Mein Kampf? I didn't think so.
Larger factors are Arizona's conservative gun laws and Loughner's mental instability, which would not be suprising if it was influenced by Sarah Palin's recently introduced crosshairs map.
Where did that latter one come from? Who made it? (2nd request).[...] nor am I the one who is pretending there isn't a difference that target, and one from a rifle scope targeting the head of an actual human being.
Who exactly are our political gods nowadays?

Because you are using it in your argument. How do you know it is:Why you asking me? I didn't post it.

Who is it that normally tries to off a public official? Another politico, or a crazed citizen??
Because you are using it in your argument. How do you know it is:
1. Real.
2. Created by a liberal.
There is no doubt as to the source of the Palin graphic. Your Walker graphic, referenced by link in the OP (“Kill Scott Walker”: Angry libs flood Twitter with death threats after Wisconsin recall defeat | Twitchy), is a complete unknown, which by all appearances originated at a right wing site (Twitchy). Yet you seem to accept it as fact, a left wing counter-example of the Palin graphic. Why?
Personally from looking at history overall i'd say both. In this case i will go with latte like you intended however.
As a politician though we should hold them at higher standards and trust them not to advocate things even indirectly or unintetionaly such as violence.
I never once said Sarah Palin would come on wielding a gunand mow down some people. I only said she might have provoked it.
You mean never NOT happen...
I'm not the one who is pretending that targeting a congressional district on a map for an upcoming election is "violent", nor am I the one who is pretending there isn't a difference that target, and one from a rifle scope targeting the head of an actual human being.
That's irrelevant to my point... Whether it was made by a lib or not, doesn't change the difference between it and the targeting of congressional districts on a map for an upcoming election.
Ah! The expected right wing response... 'it's true because I like it, and no facts are going to change my mind, so I'm not interested in any'.Do your own leg work and go find out.Where did that latter one [graphic] come from? Who made it? (2nd request).
No, you're pretending that targeting a politician to be defeated in an election is a death threat. Since you only thought that when the politician in question is a Republican....
If you look back at my post that i replied to you with you might understand how the gap betweenthem is smaller than you think.
Do your own leg work and go find out.
Upon review, I see your point -- you were presenting a rhetorical argument that had nothing to do with the topic of the thread. My badThat's irrelevant to my point... Whether it was made by a lib or not, doesn't change the difference between it and the targeting of congressional districts on a map for an upcoming election.
I'm sorry, but there is no comparisan between the two, and only politics or idiocy could make a person see it any other way.
Umm, no I'm not... I'm saying there is a huge difference between a target on a map for an upcoming election, and a target from the scope of a sniper rifle centered on the head of an actual, living human being...
Think "Common sense" instead of political gamesmanship.
So let's get this straight. A righty claims that it was done by a liberal (providing no proof I might add), yet it's up to a liberal to find out who really made it?
Debating 101, you fail.
Conservatives are getting more and more stupid by the year.
What part of "Do your own leg work and find out" is confusing you? I'm commenting on Karl's asking over and over about the picture. The rest of your BS... don't care, not interested and frankly, you bore me with it. What fails is your little tirade of nothing, which is irrelevant to my post, as some sort of bait. One day you'll be able to form coherent sentences.... won't you be proud!!

Well, there are two graphics floating around. One was a posterboard version with "RELOAD" on it and crosshairs over Walker's face, clearly mimicking the Palin gaffe. This was 'found' after a pre-election rally.Yes, there is a comparison between the two because you cannot prove WHEN it was made. If it was made before Tuesday, then it's the SAME ****ING THING. Conservatives are getting dumber by the year.
