A nod to Mark Thompson on Sirius Left satellite radio, whose guest discussed this briefly. "Make it Plain" http://www.sirius.com/siriusleft

1. Just when we thought it couldn't get weirder.

[Tunkamerica]

2. and a christian symbol! and my nephew drew it on a picture of a frog!

it's a cross. It's used a lot of places. In terms of Palin, it was used as a gun sight.

3. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

Not a lot of variation in depictions of gunsights.



Thought I guess there's a possibility Palins camp put out a double secret gunsight symbol on that stupid map.

10. The caption made clear what was meant - "Don't retreat, reload." The gunman in Tucson did what he

was told - he was reloading when tackled by a citizen. Thanks Sarah :(

4. it's a style of Celtic cross, I believe

5. Yes, I've seen that some place.....

Let me see, I seem to have seen it just a little while ago...

9. ROLF

7. The swastika was an Indian symbol before Hitler adopted it ... eom

[eShirl]

8. but it still wasn't a gunsight ... eom

19. Speaking of Celts. St. Brigid's cross is

a form of swastika. The Swastika a really old pagan symbol that isn't nefarious until Hitler pee'd all over it.

13. Actually the white supremacists use Odin's cross as the inspiration

not the celtic cross, though they are similar looking.

It's was also the signature used by the zodiac killer

6. My neighbor's cats butt has a surveyor's mark on it for Sarah. n/t

11. There was no question what those symbols were until after the attack in Tuscon

I have no idea why anyone gives an credibility at all to the post-Tuscon fibs of that malevolent grifter.

12. "Gun-sight or white pride symbol, THEY report, WE decide"

[eppur_se_muova]

14. I thought (+) was the butt-crack symbol.

Well, we still have (*) for something, uh, similar.

15. This is easily one of the wackiest conspiracy theories related to RifleScopeGate

That I've ever seen. I mean, really? A white supremacist symbol?

I once drew a star and then drew a circle around it when I was in elementary school...I MUST BE A SATANIST

[Kolesar]

16. It is a message to "her people", like when bush put Scripture into his speeches

A white supremacist message is potent in Arizona: the state that was hyped on the "hate the Mexicans" issue. Look at the laws they instituted: one must show documentation if the authorities want to "question" you (if you "look like a Mexican".

17. ...wait, you're serious?

Please don't tell me I'm hallucinating after ATS...

[Cleita]

18. I guess it's not as obvious as a swastika or

the Palin backers would probably use it instead.
