Palin's Mouthpiece Is Proven A Liar By Palin

Jan 9th, 2011

As the right wing smear machine fires up it's afterburners, the big defense from the Palinistas regarding the infamous "target map" continues to be from her mouthpiece, Rebecca Mansour, who petulantly insists that "we never ever, ever intended for them to be gun sights." We are supposed to believe that they are "surveyor's symbols."

Here's what your boss tweeted about them. Fine. They weren't "gun-sights." They were just "BULLSEYE" symbols used to "TARGET" her foes.

Most liberals, progressives, Democrats, moderate Republicans and decent Americans were appalled when Sarah Palin's PAC used weaponized language last year in conjunction with the release of this cute graphic.

Christina Taylor Green RIP

Jan 9th, 2011

She was nine years old. She was born on Sept, 11 2001. She was interested in government and a member of her school's student council. It is reported that Christina Taylor Green went to see her congresswoman, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), in order to learn "how government works." It was the last thing she ever did.

Her life was snuffed out along with those of five others by an assassin's bullet.



The lesson is now ours to learn. This either ends now... or we have already lost our country.
