My camera has cross hairs on the viewer. Surveyors have cross hairs on their equipment. Daily Kos used a bullseye target for Giffords. There is only one thing bullseye targets are used for. Violent lefty loons.

Pretend that the use of crosshairs was just a marketing ploy. So, you think her use of crosshairs was suggesting someone should be shot? Is that what you think? Palin: The cold-blooded killer of Democrats? God. You people are just out of it. No. Its you people are frigging out of it.....every last sick winger.

I had a good friend and fellow tournament chessplayer slip into psychosis as I watched. I tried to help him stay with reality, but my efforts convinced him that I was part of the massive "conspiracy", and he turned me off and treated me like all the other people around him. Eventually all of his friends, including me, contacted his parents, who had him committed. We'd be playing chess while idly watching TV when a commercial came on and he'd say, "Did you hear that?" during a commercial or even a program. After carefully probing, it became clear that he thought the TV commercials and programs were addressing HIM individually, providing him with instructions and guidance. I became the "enemy" before I ever really learned what Tim was supposed to do. When I think of my friend Tim, and see all the violent Republican and Tea Party messages, it's easy to see how a misguided nut with what's known as "ideas of reference" could take them literally. en.wikipedia.org
