Palin Aide: Symbols Weren’t Rifle Sights, but Surveyor’s Marks
Palin actually said that? Yep, according to The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/01/palin-aide-symbols-werent-rifle-sights-but-surveyors-marks/69163
What??? Really???
I don’t blame Sarah Palin for the tragic shooting in Tuscon, AZ.
I do blame Sarah Palin for her rhetoric that uses guns and shootin’ metaphors. I blame Sarah Palin for raising the temperature of the political debate without shedding any more light. I blame Sarah Palin for pretending that her rifle targets are merely surveyor’s maps.
Thus, Sarah Palin needs to label her rhetoric honestly:
