Palin defends herself from Arizona shooting criticism, says Democrats used target maps
Winnipeg Free Press ^ | 01/17/11

Posted on 01/17/2011 6:52:57 PM PST by freespirited

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says Democrats have used maps using targets to identify congressional districts they wanted to win.

Palin appeared Monday on Fox's Sean Hannity show to defend herself from criticism following the shooting in Arizona that killed six people and wounded 13, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Critics have noted that Palin's political action committee used crosshairs to identify congressional districts, including that of Giffords. Palin said the graphic was not original. As she spoke, a Democratic map appeared on the screen that had circular targets on congressional districts.

Palin said she and other conservatives were being falsely accused of murder.

She vowed to keep speaking out with the message that the country is headed in the wrong direction.

She says, "They're not going to shut me up."

Has it taken 10 days to get the rat media to acknowledge this? Sounds about right.

That’s one tough cookie. I was so proud of her and my heart went out to her. She and her family are on the front lines and needs our constant prayers.

She said it tonight on Hannity. Again.

Thought she did quite well. Hannity was handing her something other than softballs regarding what her virulent critics have been saying.

She still has my vote if she runs.

Up until recently, I thought she would CREATE the next POTUS...now, I honestly know in my heart that this country needs her to be the next “Madam President”...

Your question was no doubt rhetorical, but the obvious answer is that you are interested in truth and they are not.

"Now, if I can do this research myself, why can't the vast legions of liberal media manage to do the same??? "

It's very simple: Just like the "9-11 'Truthers'" and the "Missile 'Truthers'" here on FR -- they simply do not want to know -- or, actually fear learning -- the TRUTH.

I agree: Good work!. Since I don't "do" Twitter, I had not seen their "fiducial mark". Great find! (I'm a cartographer and a shooter, so the rest was "unquestioned knowledge" to me...)

Again, great job! Wonder if the press will ever admit to the distinctions you made,,, I bet not...

A few more items for your list:

1) NO sighting device has crosshairs that extend outside the circular vignetted view through the optics tube.

2) "Registration marks" commonly used in printing have the same form as the "control point" marks used on Sarah's map:

3) It was a Democrat who actually published a video ad depicting his opponent with definite rifle scope reticle crosshairs superimposed on his opponent' throat -- and vignetted the frame to simulate the circular view through a rifle scope:

~~~~~~~~

And the Libtards have the ignorant audacity to trash (and continue to trash Sarah for

using MAP SYMBOLS on a MAP!!!
