It is attributed to the DLC.

1. Those look like archery targets

I have never heard of anyone going on a rampage with a bow and arrow, have you?

[LynneSin]

5. And nowhere did we name names but still the photo could be misrepresented

just saying

[slackmaster]

7. I have

[Drale]

13. Thats one person attacking another one person

I mean a rampage where 6 people are killed and 14 wounded with a bow and arrow.

[Coyote_Bandit]

29. Ummmm......

[Nye Bevan]

32. YES. Linda Blair in "Savage Streets".

Clad head to toe in black leather. Taking out the bad guys one by one. But I digress.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Who did

NOT rile us up at Town Hall Meetings and inspire their 'voters/base' to kill anyone/use violence/reload etc. etc.

Let me guess - the RWB's are saying: The DLC wanted to kill ALL the people in those states - right? :rofl:

31. something I'd see on the wall of a pub

some drunk guy trying to hit the map of the USA with a dart after too many Bass Ales

[EOTE]

3. And your point is?

That Democrats have sent out the word to put hits on a number of red states? Are they encouraging violence against states? Please tell me if you have a point.

[Stinky The Clown]

40. I have no point. I am simply reporting a fact.

Before you get your nostrils all flared out. I'm of a mind that the left has never overtly called for violence, while the right wing wallows in it.

The image in the OP has been trotted out by every right wing site as the evidence or moral equivalency. Which was my *reason* for my OP.

[KingOfLostSouls]

4. if its from the DLC

no wonder none of us here have ever heard of it, hahaha

first time I've seen it.

[hedgehog]

6. That's OK, people here don't like the DLC, either!

[mmonk]

24. .

:rofl:

Copy cats.

[DJ13]

8. It is attributed to the DLC.

See, conservatives ARE violent.

The idiot tea baggers and Republicans dont recognize that our party has its share of conservatives.

[rustydog]

9. If sarah's targets ar wrong, these targets are wrong too.

Consistency.

[TBF]

21. That's fine - you can have the DLC. nt

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

48. DLC archery targets are states; Sarah's gun sight targets are people

The DLC didn't list individual names of those who needed to be eliminated.

But if you're desperate for anything to deflect the blame from yourself, this is probably the best you can do.

[woo me with science]

51. ...

The hairsplitting here is getting ridiculous.

[brewens]

11. Dart boards. Probably the plastic tipped dart type. That would

be a slow agonizing death I suppose. It'd probably take a couple weeks to kill someone that way:)

[Buns_of_Fire]

36. Like Cartman beating Stan to death with a whiffle-ball bat.

*thunk* *thunk* "Hold still, dammit! This is going to take a while!" *thunk* *thunk*

[kestrel91316]

12. Looks like one of those dart boards for PLAYING A GAME OF DARTS.

[jillan]

14. I don't any individual's names on that list - do you?

[woo me with science]

52. ...

[sarge43]

15. Also don't see any admonition to reload.

And it hasn't been scrubbed.

The equivalency to Sarahcuda's is ....?

[DCKit]

16. Well, there are a goodly number of us on DU who consider the DLC to be (R)-Lite...

and DINOs. They are certainly not the liberal or progressive wing of the party.

Regardless, targeting states is very different than targeting individual politicians.

[Vickers]

17. That looks like the magnetic dart board my kids have. n/t

[EFerrari]

18. That's okay. They also think Bush was elected twice and that Palin is presidential. n/t

[TBF]

19. My only concern about that map was potential violation of Target's copyright. nt

[Kadie]

22. LOL

I just posted the logo below.

:)

[Kadie]

20. That makes me think of...

:shrug:

[chelsea0011]

23. If this is what the RW is saying the dems do it also, they are even

more wrong than ever. Those a stationary targets that are used in competitions from darts to archery to, yes, guns. They are not sight lines in a scope which primary use is to target to kill. It is completely different and anyone should see this. That and there are no individuals listed.

[Exultant Democracy]

28. +1

[walldude]

25. That's Tim Kain's idea of fighting fire with fire.

I'm not going to dance around and make excuses for this. It was fucking stupid. It was stupid when Palin did it and it's fucking stupid now.

However I don't see a list of NAMES there I see States.

The left has pages and pages and pages of shitty right wing "joke" calls for violence. From it's commentators to it's bloggers to it's Representatives. The right has come up with this one picture. :shrug:

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. Hey, we have Target stores up in the northeast, too.

Don't forget us.

[Urban Prairie]

27. I see no political leaders' names or their districts attached to that image, just states

So how exactly does an entire state get targeted on a psycho's hit list for possible/potential violent deed(s) and/or murder(s)?

Just rightwingers lamely trying to spin comparisons of scope cross-hairs to what appears to be archery or dart targets.

[fascisthunter]

30. yeah... they have already been here using it as an example

[chowhound]

33. it is also referring to states not individuals.nt.

oops already been pointed out -d'oh

[mmonk]

34. That's so ridiculous.

The DLC's message isn't kill, it's kiss.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

35. In other news MO was shot down, and OH was it bloody! A little KY will ARguably fix many things!

Seriously.

CAN YOU KILL A STATE?

[JoePhilly]

37. Ask which Republican political figures the left has killed in those states.

[ClassWarrior]

38. So it's the Battle of the Gun Sight Graphic vs. the Dart Board Graphic!!

:rofl:

NGU.

[Enrique]

39. those crazy centrists

:crazy:

[WinkyDink]

41. I take it the Republicans are ALSO DEFENDING THIS?

[Posteritatis]

44. They're generally saying it's worse. (nt)

[nc4bo]

46. To me there is no comparison. Crosshairs are in an entirely different league. nt

[Cleita]

42. That makes me want to have a game of darts.

Bush margin less than 10% means those seats held promise for a Democrat. Targeting an election is common language from both parties. It has nothing to do with gun sights and talk about reloading.

[meow mix]

43. dart boards nt

[nc4bo]

45. Fox has been showing this all day today.....

not that I watch them regularly - just today for what should be obvious reasons.

[Rex]

47. So...Dems are expected to steal a military plane and bomb bullseye states!?!

Is that the weak shit I understand is being played out with the Idiot Party!?!?!

:rofl:

[GinaMaria]

49. How many people on this map

have had attempts on their lives? Some parties can use targets to gotv and others to incite violence.

[Dappleganger]

50. What republican individuals are targeted in that picture?

Answer: Zero

[Hugabear]

53. So using a generic target symbol for state targets is same as rifle scope for human targets?

FAIL

[TCJ70]

54. What?! No names?! No gun references?!

Well it's clear to see why someone would draw a comparison!
/sarcasm

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. That's it! I'm getting rid of my darts once and for all!

[somone]

56. Such a dangerous symbol

[NoGOPZone]

57. self delete, point has already been made nt
