Sarah Palin, March 28, 2010

"In the battle, set your sights on next season’s targets! From the shot across the bow – the first second’s tip-off – your leaders will be in the enemy’s crosshairs­, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won’t win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win."

1. Crosshairs Palin

That is all. I just like making the association between the words 'crosshairs' and 'Palin' for search-engine purposes.

8. Dog whistling has a metaphorical cloak, a code, this is a call for violence. nt

9. It's in the gut-level responses of the followers to these words.

It's much more than an overt message, although it's all of that.

It's very cleverly crafted to evoke emotional responses while not quite calling for killing on a conscious level.

11. The passage mixes basketball imagery and the call to murder political enemies. nt

21. I reread and noticed her (like a heated political....)
