Sarah Palin's Political Career May Be in Peril Over Gunsight Target Map

It is probably never a good idea to use imagery of a gunsight target map against people who have differing viewpoints. Now that someone has acted out in violence towards Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, it is safe to assume that it derailed any chance at Sarah Palin winning an election for the White House.

Palin endorsed Jesse Kelly, who ran against Giffords, who used the tagline:

"Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly."

It is hardly the most responsible thing to endorse a canadiate who uses overtones of violence in their election campaigns.

Making matters worse for Palin is her involvement with targets, in the form of crosshairs, of Congressional districts that were carried by the GOP in 2008 Presidential election with sitting members of congress who voted for the controversial health care bill.

1. That ain't Moose blood on her hands today!

[NightWatcher]

2. Her "political" career is in peril cause she's a hack

Her show has been canceled and people are getting tired of her. Even the repukes that think she's a Milf or Gilf think the charms wearing off and say she'd be a terrible prez.

[Flying Dream Blues]

3. We can only hope...this has to stop. nt

[Historic NY]

4. Well its certainly put hers in her own cross hairs.

[Mike 03]

5. I hope to Christ that you are right, but I regret the cost. NT

[BulletproofLandshark]

6. She was never going to run for president anyway.

Winning the White House would have derailed the money train for 4 years.

[Mike 03]

9. Exactly, that is my take too. She can make much more money as a TV personality.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. hopefully the money will dry up or at least be reduced

[bluestateguy]

7. Her worshippers would follow her into a pit a quicksand if she told them to go there

8. I can't wait for Olbermann tonight

He's going to devour that moron.

[MH1]

10. as it should be.

should have been LONG ago though.

[Cleita]

11. If only, however, I think she will keep showing

up wherever someone is willing to stick a camera in front of her, like Geraldo Rivera.

[earth mom]

13. Sad that people had to die to get people to wake up to the lies, scandals, and b.s.

of such a sleazy opportunist as Palin! :puke:

[Frustratedlady]

14. I can't open the site with the map anymore. I opened it this morning.

Did they shut it down?

[WinkyDink]

16. Yes, it was expunged. Here's the original:

18. it was pulled from Palin's sites but many blogs and websites have the screenshot

lots of DU threads have the screenshot

[northernlights]

19. shut it down temporarily and scrubbed the map

too bad for them, there are screen captures all over the place.

[Jim__]

15. May be in peril?

It speaks volumes about the state of this country that that asshole ever had a political career. That it is only "in peril" now, speaks even more.

[high density]

17. Of course Google Ads uses this thread to serve up ads for gun scopes

Their targeting algorithm seems to need a little bit of work.

[robinlynne]

20. "It is safe to assume?". I dont take anything for granted in this country.

[seabeyond]

21. ger political career ended when we were introduced to her as mccains VP... nt

[rhett o rick]

22. She never had a political career. nm

[grahamhgreen]

23. If it's not, we're in for a world of hurt.

[ElsewheresDaughter]
