Target =/= Gunsight.

You throw darts at a bulls-eye.

A scope is found on a gun.

They do make the same theme of using combative/war like language. I mean "Behind Enemy Lines." They were clearly making it seem like they were trying to get the exact same point across.

I have shot bullets and arrows at a bullseye. I have never thrown "darts." The bullseye looks nothing like a true dartboard. You are really reaching to try to pawn this one off instead of just admitting the obvious. Palin is not guilty of forcing anyone sane to pursue this method.

Yep, you're right; the Democratic one looks like an archery target.

Palin's is unmistakably a gun scope.

I imagine that if the Democrats used inflammatory language also (like "RELOAD!"), they might have incited someone to nefarious "archery".

Or not.

The first one looks a lot like this too.

I have shot numerous times at a similar target at my local gun range with similar colors.

Are you familiar with the term disambiguation?

Palin's targets are not in any way ambiguous. The others are, you proved it here.

Just saying.

Just saying you are trying in every way possible to deflect any criticism of democrats. Why? You are supposedly Libertarian. Why do you try everything you can to make things acceptable for them and not for republicans? Sorry when I see a bullseye and see the word target, I take it as that's something you are going to aim to destroy, that same as I would a gun sight target.

If you are for neither party, just say, yep they pulled the same shit and move on with your day. Why is it so important to defend them?

I see no issue with either party using it, BTW. Just like Kellen Winslow saying he was a "fuckin soldier" after getting beat by UT in a football game. Did he mean he was a fuckin soldier killing enemy soldiers? fuck no.

Mostly because Dems are usually anti-gun.

They might use words and phrases that stem from war and firearms, but probably don't do it while visualizing exactly that. Palin used to use the term "reload" and other suggestive wording in a context that often suggested taking up arms, as did Sharon Angle, and Jesse Kelly.

Because I haven't yet seen a Democratic politician so gleefully brandish firearms in the media, in such a political context as has Palin, and a few other right-leaning extremists.

Looks to me like this guy was in fact just nuts.



I'm genuinely surprised he's leftist in his beliefs, but crazy isn't blue or red.
