Well. Isn’t this interesting.
The left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center has on its site a “Hate Map.” Notice anything curious here? As the cursor moves onto the map the standard small hand with pointing finger suddenly becomes…wait for it….a crosshair.
That’s right. A group that is advertising itself as fighting “hate and bigotry” has a map that uses a moveable crosshair as a guide to hate groups around the country.
Last night, as John Tabin quickly noticed, CNN host John King apologized for a guest using the term “crosshairs” in a political context.
Apparently CNN will not be inviting anyone from the Southern Poverty Law Center on-air soon.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

The Liberal Propagandists step on their rake again.

Crosshairs are only frowned upon if the group using the crosshair is not a Leftist group. I guess they think they can use it because they are "targeting" hate. In other words, it's typical Liberal hypocrasy. Surprised? I'm not.

Sarah Palin's idols - Elena Ceaucescu, Imelda Marcus and Leila Trabelsi.

Of course you have the proper attributed quotes that can be verified (or even better video) that show her saying that these people are her idols? What? No, I didn't think so. Just typical hate crime libel that comes from liberals....

Thanks for the warning... now only a complete moron would cast a vote for someone who is friends with bomb-throwing terrorist husband and wife.

Lets stop trying to focus on simply reporting the LEFTS attempt to smear anyone who disagrees. L.ets throw it back at them. And, by all means not run away and give up in despair when a CNN POLL
or an AP POLL shows this or that. Instead what is needed RE LEADERS WHO STAND UP TO THESE MEDIA COWARDS AND QUESTION THEIR SUITABILITY TO PRINT OR SAY ANYTHING WORTHWHILE.
Tony Raskoon| 1.19.11 @ 8:19PM
Crosshairs?!! How about target, bullseye, dead-center, focused like a laser, shotgun approach, march onward, and the mother of military-political sublimation....campaign? They'll need a show of nothing but apologies to stay PC. You couldn't make this stuff up. It was Left on Left violence.
Stay focused on 2012. This is a sideshow.

Yes, it is a sideshow to distract us while Obama's selling us down the river to China.
I notice that GE is making bank with Chinese business contracts right now.
