If Palin would have just we are putting you in our crosshairs...that wouldn't be so bad...it's just that she followed that up by telling people to get locked and loaded that makes it dangerous. Being in someone's crosshairs can mean quite a few things that are not suggesting violence...any more that saying you are in our bulls eye. But when you add Locked and loaded on the other hand...that only means one thing...putting a live round in the chamber and arming the weapon (ie sliding the bolt forward, arming the action, etc...) so that the weapon is ready to fire.

"Did it say if he hated women or not? Maybe that's why she was a target." The Daily KOS put a bullseye on Gifford (their words). They wanted to knock her out of the primaries. Image of the page her: http://i52.tinypic.com/b499it.jpg. The original has been taken down. There was a thread on the daily KOS titlled: My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me! I am from the Tucson area and live in Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords' district. I worked like a dog for her elections when she was in the Arizona House, surrounded by rightwing nutcases. When Arizona re-districted in 2002, a seat opened up and she was right smack in the middle of it. So was I because I live in Oro Valley, Arizona, which is at the heart of that - then - new CD. I was one of several people to talk her into running and pledging complete loyalty and pledging to raise as much money as possible for her. She ended up running for the first time against a fellow AZ House member, Randy Graf who was a rightwing whacko who advocated guns in bars and was the "Russell Pearce before Russell Pearce" vis-a-vis border issues. With a LOT of hard work and plenty of money, Gabby won. Easier than thought, too. I never like to throw money in people's faces, but i have given Gabrielle Giffords THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars in both good times and bad times for me financially. Fast forward to this election season. A weirdo asshole named Jesse Kelly who advocated ELIMINATING Social Security and was a tea bagger favorite got the GOP nom to run against her. I am gay and had been married and my spouse left me January 15, 2010. I shot myself in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt, because of that. Barely surviving, I spent two months in the hospital and still have some paralysis. I did receive a severance from my employer, as i had been laid off in December, 2009. That may have been part of the reason my spouse left me. Anyway, after months of physical and mental rehab, I got back into the political scene and started working for Gabby once again. I raised over $100,000 for her and maxed her out myself out of my severance, even though i still don't have work and could not qualify for state aid because of my severance. She wins her re-election and told me she was still a supporter of Speaker Pelosi at her victory party. We talked about how Nancy Pelosi was a successful woman and accomplished oh so much in just four years as Speaker. Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports (out of the one eye in can still see out of) that Giffords voted AGAINST Nancy Pelosi as our Minority Leader. Rhetorical question: I fought back from my condition and jumped in with both feet to help Gabrielle Giffords for THIS shit??? Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now. I won't lift a finger, make one phone call, nor will i EVER vote for her in the future. And why did she do this? Giffords never told me she was conservative Democrat. And her voting record is okay. Damn. Of course, this has been removed from the website now. There was a long thread of messages after this condemning Giffords. She wasn't well liked by certain elements of her own party.
