Coincidence or hate crime? Rep. Giffords was among Sarah Palin's controversial Facebook "Hit List" where she "targets," with gin graphics (sights) Democrats who voted for the Health Reform bill and asks her fans to "take them out."

Was palin's facebook "hit list" with her face in a gun site a theory?

No, but your assertion that that was the cause of this woman being shot is a theory, and a very ridiculous one at that.
Does that clear things up for you?

During his appearance on the comedy late night show Late Night with Conan O'Brien on December 12, 1998, eight days before President Bill Clinton was to be impeached, Baldwin said, "if we were in another country... we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country."

Henry Hyde is now dead!!!
Coincidence?!?!?!
Should we be looking into Alec Baldwinâ€™s involvement?!?!?
How stupid can you be? (That's a rhetorical question, chuckmo - no need to answer.)

â€œSarah Palin has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district ...

Incidentally, the crosshairs of the gunsight were over her district, not her face, but the gunophobic pussies at daily kos and Huffington Post are already tsk, tsk, tsking about the use of crosshairs as metaphor. They remind me a lot of you, chuckmo. If, in the future, you plan on posting something so utterly clownish, at least try to get your facts in order.

It must be contained in the liberal's talking points, freetime posted the same lame brained notion in her post.

They care not that someone was murdered, only how they can work it into a smear.

And now that President Bush is out of office, who do they fear the most and who is their biggest target?

I'll give you three guesses.

Easy, Jane, easy.
It's not as if she was shot with that North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun that you're so fond of (or should I say 'fonda?).

Jane Fonda Blames Giffords Shooting on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party

By Noel Sheppard | January 08, 2011 | 18:07

Jane Fonda has blamed Saturday's tragic shooting spree in Tucson, Arizona, on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, conservative talk show host Glenn Beck, and the Tea Party movement.
Obviously possessing no facts about the alleged shooter, the liberal actress and activist tweeted the following moments ago:

Actually, Giffords is not a Progressive. Wikipedia lists her as part of the Blue Dog Coalition.
But that wasn't Fonda's only mistake, for moments later she added:

It would be nice if Fonda knew how to spell Beck's first name, but since she's likely never seen his show or read anything he's written, it's not surprising.
Actually, she's so clueless about the proper spelling of his name that she moments later tried to tweet him again misspelling Glenn:

Nice job, Jane. You're quite a rocket scientist.
Alas, she wasn't done, for moments later Fonda doubled down:

To be sure, the Left's predictable and groundless finger-pointing whenever these kinds of incidents happen in our nation is not at all surprising. As Matt Lewis observed at Politics Daily, the Netroots are way ahead on this blame Palin meme.
Yet, from what we can glean concerning alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner, he doesn't at all fit the right-wing mold.
A video that he posted at his YouTube channel features a flag burning, certainly not what one would expect from a conservative. Loughner also listed his favorite books including "Mein Kampf" and "The Communist Manifesto."
Liberals love to claim Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Party were right-wing. However, as Hitler wanted total governmental control of industry and healthcare, his views were quite opposite of what conservatives in America currently stand for, especially Palin, Beck, and members of the Tea Party.
Of course, it is not all surprising liberal media members won't let such facts get in the way of their unfounded accusations.
After all, they never do.

Here's the Palin ad that targeted Giffords and others who voted for Obama's health care reform.

Make of it what you will.

And yes, I may be a lamebrain as stated above, but I've never advocated anyone to "take down" a politician I don't agree with. Guess I'm just an idiot to think that might cause someone to get killed or something:

The website was scrubbed for two reasons - two reasons totally alien to the Left - and those reasons are tact and class.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords certainly thought Sarah Palin's map was relevant to the threat of violence. This is what she told MSNBC on March 25, 2010:

Quote:

"...for example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district, and when people do that, they've gotta realize there are consequences to that action."

There have been none, and that includes Palin. Giffords face was not in the gunsights - the gunsights were superimposed over a map of her district. In other words, your panties are all twisted because of a picture of a map, and nothing more.
Man up a wee bit, chuckmo (if you can). There were no big, scary guns - merely a picture of a map. If that terrifies you, then your manhood problems are too big for anyone on this board to help you with.

Save their asses from what, exactly? I'm unaware of any laws prohibiting the display of a circle with two perpendicular lines inside it.
Jesus, you Lefties get more vaginal every day.
