Who Are The Remaining Nineteen House Democrats That Sarah Palin Said Should Be Targeted?
and which were the towns and states on which the 'crosshairs' were drawn on her now infamous map?
Annoyingly, the map seemed to disappear from her website soon after the tragic events in Tucson on 8th January. I think that the states were named but I don't remember if the town/city names were mentioned (maybe she is revising the list).
@ Hypocrite - Slightly Unhinged - Got it! Thanks JJ
@ looking good - WTF???
@ The Deighton - I'm not sure what relevance your answer has to my question but thank you for your contribution anyhow, although to get an answer to your question you would probably need to ask The Democrats.
Intrigued however by your mention of the 'Democrat map' I have tracked down and found the very map of which, I presume, you speak and would suggest that in my opinion, it differs quite significantly from Sarah Palin's map in that, whereas the Democrat Party 2004 election map showed coloured roundel type targets on the states where President Bush had a margin of less 10%, the Palin map shows gun crosshairs over congressional districts and has a hitlist of specific members to be targeted because of their support for particular policies and for how they cast their votes.
Now while I don't suggest for one moment that this map has any connection to the murderous actions of that mentally unstable young man on that fateful day last weekend, it does beg the question of just how many
mentally unhinged Palin supporters there are out there (quite a few I suspect) some of whom could well imagine some hidden coded meaning in what does appear, to some outside observers at least, to be rather inflamatory rhetoric from the Palin and Tea Party camps and to decide that it is their patriotic duty, religious destiny, constitutional right or whatever crazy notion takes their fancy to go on a shoot'em-up rampage.

Elections are frequently moulded by the media, just as much as they are by the political party they choose to favour. It is the media that decides what it likes to report – or perhaps not to report- to frequently twist out of all recognition what a particular politician has said and in their partisan way all too often present the public with a one-sided vision of politics.

Politics is a dirty business, a game of winner-takes-all and it really does not matter who wins in the end. Behind every political party there is big business, the international banker, the billionaire with vested interests, the self-serving out to line their pocket at the expense of the taxpayer.
.
The politics of demonising the opposition, of presenting oneself and ones own party in the best and most sympathetic light, is what rules the political landscape just as much in Europe as it does in North America. Ones own warts are hidden from sight while those of the opposition are laid open to public view. This is where the public finds itself misled, tricked if you will, by the clever pundit, and even more astute publicity machine. As in war, truth is the first casualty of any political debate.

An election policy is a simple ploy, an artifice to sweeten the cake, something on which to hang a ‘policy’ that will never see the light of day – once the election is over and the voters have returned to their homes.

Goldman Sachs is one of the most corrupt bankers in the world, yet this gang of shady ‘businessmen’ dictate to international governments what policies they ought to adopt. It is they who really rule the roost and bend the laws to suit their own end, rather than for the good of the whole.

Ian Dunt remarks on the intrusive tactics of the Right Wing in America, while he chooses to ignore the intrusive of the previous UK government, an administration that saw more laws passed then in the previous 300 years, the introduction of more CCTV cameras than any other country in Europe and the gradual erosion of long-cherished individual freedom.

Sarah Palin proved one of the best Governors the State of Alaska had. Her period of office is one that can be held as an example to others to follow. In remaining true to her principals, by learning from this latest disaster, Mrs Palin can only enhance her character just as much as her public image and eventually be elected to the office of American President.
