DEM ISSUES has seen the ads put out by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin showing literal gun cross-hairs aimed at U.S. Congress members that she does not like and wanted out.
One of those cross-hairs was aimed at U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).
Though the imagery used in those ads was symbolic, a psychopath took those images literally last Saturday.
Up to now, DEM ISSUES believed that Sarah Palin's charisma and Reaganesque optimism might propel her to the Presidency...not something WE wanted, because her political views do not match those of D.I.
However, after the Arizona Massacre, once decent Americans see those very ads put out by Palin, they SHOULD, and D.I. believes WILL, turn on her just like they did a bullying U.S. Senator back in the 1950s.
And her political future will have ended, as D.I. believes it SHOULD at this time.
Her quip, "Never Retreat. Reload" was Reaganesque and John Wayne-ish.
Some thought it was clever, cute, or even patriotic.
Not to D.I. after Saturday's massacre.
Palin crossed the decency line with those ads.
Those ads need to be seen by every thinking American.
And those Americans should unite behind THIS question for the former Alaska governor:
"Have you no sense of decency, Sarah Palin?"
