Palin Speech = Hate Speech

Report Sarak Palin's horrific "crosshairs" graphic on Facebook.

The crazed shooter who killed six people in Tucson has no literal connection to Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, or the Republican Patry.

Palinites are already splitting infinitives and arguing semantics over the word "crosshairs" versus "gunsights."

But one thing is clear. The violence committed is merely the ultimate extreme version of the rhetoric spewed by this woman, her adherents, and the bulk of bilious rightwing politicians and media puppets.
