Really?

In response to the evil 'target map' from Sarah Palin, the right is floating this democratic image. Seems they are going with the "well they did it too" defence.

Really? You want to go there and THIS is your example?

First of all those circles are NOT targets. Sure the graph expresses statistics that may be useful to the Democrats. It is helping to illustrate where to spend their resources to insure the best chance that their candidates will be elected. That is just smart political research.

NOWHERE does it suggest that the districts featured need to be DESTROYED. I assure you that there is no progressive out there who is thinking to themselves, "Yeh, that is what I will do. I will go shoot up an entire state because Nancy Pelosi said it was my patriotic duty to do so."

Palin's poster INCITES crazy people to do bad things. In no way does the Democrat map do this.

It seems that instead of ADMITTING that Sarah's map was wrong the right will circle the wagons and not cut her loose. Even though she has come out recently and criticized the Republican leadership (and bit the hand that feeds her) they still won't disavow her for the good of their party.

That can only be because the leadership on the right SUPPORTS the evil that she is doing. They don't seem to have any concern about the methods she uses to get her message across. They would rather see her savage the left and be divisive.

Republicans love to pit one group against another. The creation of scapegoats is a proven way to distract their followers from demanding that these politicians get off their asses and fix some of the problems the country has.

How cynical. Didn't anyone look to the future and realize that this tactic of Palin's would lead to some really bad results? They do realize that in a country awash in guns (there is that 'don't retreat, reload imagery again) that someone is more likely to use a 'second amendment solution' to fix the 'problem', right?

Can at least ONE conservative look at this ploy and say that they have a problem with it? Of course that will never happen because the Right is NEVER wrong about anything. Their leaders can never say anything that so long as they gain power in the end. All ends, no matter how vile and contemptuous, justify the means in their thinking.

This is why conservative vote against their best interests. That is why they didn't want to see tax cuts on millionaires or benefits for 9/11 first responders. Instead of extending compassion and appreciation to people who really need some help, they reject this premise completely. They are sheep. They will follow their side off a cliff rather than do the decent thing, the HUMAN thing.

If you can't convince them that the two are NOT equatable, they will never ever 'get it'. They are a lost cause. They are dead to me.
