GOP congressman: Palin’s ‘reload’ map with crosshairs targeted at House Democrats is ‘inappropriate.’

Since the House passed health care reform on Sunday, Democratic lawmakers who voted for the bill have received death threats and been victims of vandalism. While some Republicans have condemned these incidents, Sarah Palin seemed to fan the flames of discontent by labeling a map of vulnerable lawmakers’ districts with crosshairs on her Facebook page and tweeting, “Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: ‘Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!’” This morning, NBC’s Ann Curry asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) if he believed his former running mate should use less “incendiary” language. McCain condemned any violence but excused Palin’s “reload” rhetoric and use of crosshairs. Today on Capitol Hill, ThinkProgress caught up with Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX), who said that Palin’s reload map is “inappropriate”:

TP: Speaking of gun shots, would you consider Palin telling her supporters they need to “reload,” and posting a picture of crosshairs on Democratic members — is that inappropriate?

OLSON: There’s things, both parties are inappropriate.

TP: Is that inappropriate, yes or no?

OLSON: No I’m not going to answer the question.

TP: So it is appropriate.

OLSON: It is inappropriate.

Watch it:

While Olson continually claimed that both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have incited violence, he could not point to a single example of Democrats doing so.

    map, shmap.

    it’s the woman herself who is inappropriate.

    Conservatism = Terrorism. This FACT is undeniable.

    I really hope the Congress and President passes a law so that American citizens can detain, arrest, and torture conservatives.

    Democrats want to provide health care to Americans.

    Conservatives want to harm, terrorize, and murder Americans.

    Hmmm….backup leaves the preceding thread, and then Olson appears on this post and claims a general false equivalency.

    Coincidence?

  17. Marie says:

    Is there anything about Sarah Palin that IS appropriate?


  18. Marie says:

    OMG
    #4 is really a stupid person

    he thinks the census, which has been taken in almost the same form for more than 200 years, as directed in the Constitution, is a communist plot.
    It’s too bad that he left his brain over at Fox News for washing — they shrunk it.


  19. alpuz3 says:

    So that’s it? After this guy we’re officially out of heros?

    I would’ve thought the last hero would be more… uh heroic.


  20. SP Biloxi says:

    “GOP congressman: Palin’s ‘reload’ map with crosshairs targeted at House Democrats is ‘inappropriate.’”

    This is nothing new by the Alaskan dingbat. Her interest is to rally the wingnuts to attack Obama and the Democrats, pimp for more money for her agenda, and repeat the cycle. Palin is nothing but a quitter and an opportunist who used her wink and folksy talk to get by in life.

    OT

    Bunning: The Sequel

    This time is Dr. No Coburn that is holding up the unemployment extension bill:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/25/senate-begins-game-of-chi_n_513620.html

    UPDATE 8:15 PM: Reid filed for cloture on the Democrats’ version of the bill, initiating a process that could get the bill passed as soon as this weekend, barring a deal. He also filed for a “conditional adjournment,” meaning senators will be free to leave. McConnell vowed that Coburn and several other Republicans would be on-hand Friday morning to debate the importance of extending the benefits but also of paying for them.

  27. Mugsy says:

    Palin is the Tea Parties “Ross Perot”, and the GOP knows it.

    She’s going to end up starting a Conservative Third Party splinter-group that will siphon off just enough Republican votes to keep them from profiting off the very Tea-Party outrage they themselves helped cultivate.

    You reap what you sow, jugheads. :)


  28. Marie says:

    The only avenue left to them to excuse the extremists of their party whom they have been encouraging, tacitly or overtly, is to say “both parties do it.”

    When we all were protesting Dumbya and his illegal war, (I was one of the tens of thousands in DC) there were all kinds of pictures and comments on plcards, but I did not see anything calling for assassination, violence, nor were any speakers advocating anarchy or inciting mob action.

  37. RetiredSailor says:

    As long as no one gets hurt I’m perfectly content to let the GOP prove to the country their distain for the average Joe. I think eventually those like “The Last Hero” will finally wake up and realize that Lincoln has disowned his party. The ironic thing about the demise of the GOP is that the ones doing the destruction are the Southern Democrats or their descendants who swapped parties because of LBJ’s Civil Rights stance.

    I’m surprised that they haven’t started taking each other apart by floating the conspiracy theory that saboteurs had infiltrated in the migration and are finally completing their mission to destroy the GOP. The left has been accused of everything else, why not the end of the GOP as we all know and despise it. May they go the way of the Bull Moose Party, Whigs,and the Know-nothings.

    I wonder if the Last Hero has figured out that the census forms are bar coded to identify the returning address (as well as the address printed on the front used to mail out the form.

    I wonder if by submitting an incomplete form, he has assured that he will get a visit by a census taker.

    And if refusal to answer the census in a truthful matter is a crime.

    And I wonder if the implied threat he returned will mean the census taker will bring some law officers along.

    Considering Palin’s background as a big game hunter, her words are pretty familiar and appropriate. Figure of speech quotes are typically used by the left wing loons, like Lee Fang above, to incite distaste and get the drool rolling down Progressive’s chins.

    The Irony… it is STRONG with this one…

    Your every utterance is an anguished cry, nay, desperate SHRIEK, for help…

    You’re suffering and it’s not necessary.

    Pete Olson and the rest of the GOP should either grow a pair or use their f***ing brains and condemn the members of our society that think US history is no more complex than God and guns. You a**holes got the gun nuts riled up, you condemn them and actually man up and take responsibility for cheering them on. Or else you’re no better than the extremists who are no better than the extremists our troops are fighting overseas.

    Just saying something their behavior is inappropriate is a huge understatement. This behavior borders on inciting domestic terrorism.

    The Dixiecrats have taken over the party and pushed out the moderates. I think even Gingrich recognizes that the party seems to be in a death spiral because the baggers and pundits are pulling the strings. The party is doing what it usually does after election losses; they move further to the right. I would expect that if the Republicans get walloped in 2012, the party will be playing the blame game for long time. I think Republicans that are in swing districts are just as afraid as the Dems who captured some of those districts. Independents are going to decide the races and if the baggers and pundits interject themselves in these close races, the Republicans will lose the independent voters. I think the Dems have prematurely conceded districts they could win.

    Rep(rehensible) Cantor, who has used a random gunshot to make himself a “victim”, is calling for the Dems. who have been targeted by vandals to stop “using” the incidents! You can’t make this shit up.

    From the same story, Speaker Pelosi has it wrong. She should be loudly condemning, at least, Rep(rehensibles) Bachmann and King for inciting violence. She should be doing so loudly, publicly, and with every bit of authority her office commands.

    Of course. The members of the GOP (the party of “personal responsibility”) are cowards who will play the victim till the bitter end. Same with righties like Beck and Hannity who will probably deny they ever did anything to rile the tea-baggers up if or when someone gets hurt or killed.

    No why would they remove the pell grants for low income students? That would go against their idea of expanding opportunites..In fact, they are increasing the number of pell grants available and actually adjusting the amount of grant money awarded to recipients to match the rate of inflation/increased expenses.

    Last Hero: Under the U.S. Constitution, protests and demonstrations against the U.S. Government are legal. Since the founding of the United States, demonstrators have gotten rowdy, even having fistfights with their opposition. Generally noncombatant protesters minding their own business are not charged with violent crime. But that could change if Sen. McCains Senate bill S.3081 is passed: The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010. The Definition for Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent: (Anyone Subject to a Military Commission)

    Under S.3081, without probable cause, an individual need only be suspected by government, of having purposely engaged in hostilities against the United States, its coalition partners or materially supported hostilities; including against civilians that might cause harm in order to be detained in military custody as an Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent.

    drhunt1 says:

    KayInMaine-so the Dems were wrong when they stated that kids were covered that had pre-existing conditions…is THAT what you’re implying?

    If so, then Obama himself lied about it, and it’s now obvious that he hadn’t READ the Bill that he was promoting.

    Wow…that ought to go over real big with the voters…

    Insurance companies are barred effective immediately from discriminating against children.

    The discrimination ban for adults, however, doesn’t take effect until 2014.


  104. KayInMaine says:

    All children will be covered with a pre-existing condition. The language that was not put in the bill was the ‘grandfathered’ language of accepting those children who have a pre-existing condition and don’t have insurance currently. Those children who are insured through their parents CANNOT BE DENIED CARE FOR THEIR TREATMENTS NOW. All children are covered! As it should be.

    Why do you trolls hate this? YOU’RE POND SCUM!

    it might also occur to me that the above is exactly what has been happening to me, and others like me, for the past 4 years, and that we may have brought all the consternation upon ourselves, by electing officials and enacting policies that actually caused a backlash effect, which now serves as the root cause of our own incessant carping.

    Did everyone read that Cantor’s story about a bullet being shot at his office is a farce?…

    Later Thursday, however, Richmond police said in a news release that the bullet had been fired into the air around 1 a.m. Tuesday. It finished its random arc back to earth at a sharp downward trajectory, breaking a window pane on the bottom floor of the two-story brick building where Cantor’s campaign leases the top floor.

    The spent bullet hit the floor about one foot inside the shattered pane. No one was in the building at the time. A police investigation has yielded no suspects.

    That doesn’t make you a man, it makes you a moron. Nobody cares if you don’t fill it out. You’re not losing fund for my district, I don’t live anywhere near a trailer park. Dumbass.

    I think the fools that think refusing to fill out the census form is “sticking it to the man” are even funnier than Rep(rehensible) Cantor lying out his ass in a vain attempt to make himself a victim!


  198. P.D. says:

    Holy Sh*t! I have noticed something people. Because of the Repugs insistence of ‘Procedure’, the Americans are getting a taste of what they DO. Tom Colburn has burned unemployed people because of the the ‘Deficit’. I am seeing an education of the masses, NOT because of Obama, but the way the Repugs ALWAYS did business. The Iraq War, the tax cuts to the wealthy, the Drug Program for seniors….ALL behind closed doors. NOW the Dems are fighting for US. They think they will win in 2010? We shall see.

    You know what is really creepy? Eric Cantor, who is married and 46 years old attended a Brittany Spears concert by himself last year.

    When I first heard this it reminded me of when I was younger and one of the older guys (5 years older than me) from the neighborhood returned to visit after being away while attending medical school.

    Anyway we were all sitting around drinking and smoking and the guy was getting pretty buzzed and disappeared for awhile and than was calling the name of one of the neighborhood girls who was with us, she was 9 years younger than him.

    After that I never saw him again but remembering his voice calling for her to come over to him in the shadows and the age difference, reminds me of the Cantor story….creepy.

    Beautiful stuff from Tracey and C&L:

    Democrats: “We need health care reform”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! Give us a majority and we’ll do it better”

    Democrats: “Done, you have majority of both houses”
    12 years later, health care is irrefutably worse in every respect for every single person in the United States

    Democrats: “We need health care reform”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! Americans are tired of partisan politics!”

    Democrats: “OK, let’s compromise”

    Republicans: “OK, get rid of half your ideas”

    Democrats: “Done”

    Republicans: “Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas”

    Democrats: “Done”

    Republicans: “Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas”

    Democrats: “Done”

    Republicans: “Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas”

    Democrats: “Done”

    Republicans: “Too liberal, get rid of half your ideas”

    Democrats: “Done. Time to end debate”

    Republicans: “Too liberal, we need more debate, we will filibuster to prevent you
    from voting”

    Democrats: “OK, we’ll vote–sorry guys, debate is ended. It’s time to vote on the bill”

    Republicans: “Too liberal, we vote no”

    Democrats: “OK, it passed anyway–sorry guys.”

    One month later

    Republicans: “Wait–wait, OK, we have less of a minority now so we can filibuster forever.”

    Democrats: “Sorry, the bill already passed, we need it to pass the House now”

    Republicans: “But we have enough to filibuster”

    Democrats: “Sorry, the bill already passed, we need it to pass the House now”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! You haven’t listened to our ideas! You’ve shut us out of this whole process!”

    Democrats: “Sorry, show us your proposal”

    Republicans: “Smaller government”

    Democrats: “That’s not very specific”

    Republicans: “OK, here’s our detailed proposal–It’s our common-sense ideas we spent 12 years not enacting”

    Democrats: “OK, we’ll add a bunch more of your ideas”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! You included all these back-room deals”

    Democrats: “OK, we’ll get rid of the back-room deals”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! You’re using obscure procedural tricks to eliminate the back-room deals!”

    Democrats: “No, we’re using reconciliation, which both parties have used dozens of times for much larger bills”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! You’re pressuring Congressmen to vote for your bill! Scandal!”

    Democrats: “It’s called ‘whipping’, it’s been done since 1789″

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! Can’t you see the American people don’t want this?”

    Democrats: “This bill is mildly unpopular (40-50%), doing nothing (your proposal) is extraordinarily unpopular (4-6%)”

    Republicans: “We need to start over! We need to start over!”

    Democrats: “We should really consider voting–”

    Republicans: “Liberal fascists! Start over! Clean slate! Common-sense! America!”

    It looks like cracks in the GOP armour are showing. Too bad — not.

    On another subject, have you seen the Youtube of John Boehner doing his “hell no you can’t” rant. It is worth the view.

  205. Insidious Prophet says:

    As the worm turns. Conservative David Frum, a former Bush speech writer and suddenly ex AIE member told ABC that Fox used to work for the republican party but now the republican party works for Fox.

    He went on further to say (not the exact words) that Fox needs the hateful, fearful, dishonest, incendiary brand of news reporting they use to survive but that this type of reporting is destroying the republican party.

    David Frum is a brave and couragous man for telling the truth!

    Typical Republican reply ‘both sides do it’

    Bush runs up deficit for 2 illegal wars, meidare part D cost 1 trillion, tax cuts on the rich.. – economy flops

    Obama tries to fix mess – and passes stimulus..

    so republican response on deficit – ‘both sides do it’
    ——–
    Bush charges into iraq and afghanistan in illegal wars.. passed patriot act tapping citizens phones..

    Obama passes republican idea of insurance mandate to reduce price of hc

    so republican response on infringement on constitution ‘both sides do it’

    ———-
    Bush kills an estimated million in wars – invades sovereign countries against wishes of UN and international community – protesters refer to him as being a fascist like hitler

    Obama tries to pass health care bill – gets referred to as .. socialist like hitler.?.

    Republican response – ‘both sides do it’
    ——–
    Bush never receives any attacks while speaking – designates ‘free speech areas’ for protest.. and eric cantor gets an unverified shot in the air as reported by fox news ‘exclusive’

    Obama get’s vocal criticism in improper decorum from congress – slander and death threats against congress members – smears with racial overtones – windows smashed.. death threats to congress members children -fake anthrax attacks – people coming to town hall meetings with guns – talks of revolution – secession and civil war…over health care.

    Republican reply ‘both sides do it’
    —-
    right. both sides do it.. the difference is between shooting a bullet and throwing one.

    no republican, both sides don’t ‘do it’ – you have the market on fascist actions and violent rhetoric – liberals though outspoken about subjects are non-violent and anti-war.. and though we may be colorful with our language (free speech) we know the limits of proper protest.. and we remain civil.

    no republicans – both sides don’t ‘do it’ – and citing one random example does not match 100’s or thousands.. do you understand the difference between 1 and a thousand?

    probably not.

    How do you like them apples?

    Shut the fck up! You lost!

  212. Insidious Prophet says:

    Now that the republicans are out of power they suddenly hate our democracy, our republic, our democratic process.

    They suddenly forget that the President wasn’t elected to push the republican agenda or to appease their constituents. They suddenly have forgotten that losing elections have consequences.

    Instead of acting like spoiled little children, instead of continuing their scorched earth strategy, they should start acting like adults from a civilized society and start working with OUR President and FOR we the people.

    good grief – I was just scanning through some of the posts here, looking to see if it was possible that any of the trolls might have something intelligent to say, and, if anything, they are more stupid than normal. They must be hyperventilating or something for getting their butts kicked so much this past week.
