Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Sarah Palin's Crosshairs Ad 'Despicable'
A reminder that back in March Elizabeth Hasselbeck of The View took the unusual step of criticizing Sarah Palin for her crosshairs ad. Segment originally aired March 26, 2010.
via Huffington Post
Sarah Palin's gun sight-riddled campaign map is so militant that it's even lost her the support of "The View" co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who called Palin's behavior "despicable."
After "View" co-host Joy Behar said the map, which features white and red gun sights drawn over districts whose Democratic representatives voted for health care, "looks like an al Qaeda Christmas card" Thursday, Hasselbeck -- who campaigned with Palin in 2008 -- spoke up in uncharacteristic agreement.
"This hasn't been a great week in terms of, I think, the Constitution and where it says that you're supposed to, you know, everybody is, has a mandate to have insurance. But I think the way some Republicans are handling this is nothing more than purely despicable," Hasselbeck said. "The names that are next to and being highlighted by those crosshairs -- I think it's an abuse of the Second Amendment. I also feel as though every single person on here is a mother, a father, a friend, a brother, a sister, and to take it to this level is -- it's disappointing to see this come from the Party, and I would hope that leaders like Sarah Palin would end this."
Joy Behar thanked her for it, shaking her hand. "Republicans are not speaking out against this and you may be the first one to do it, and I salute you, my girl." Whoopi Goldberg would say "Republicans, whatever comes from this it's on your heads."

and the palin follow up tweet - about the 'bullseye' targets and the 90% win rate!
There is a legal precedent to inciting violence and murder --even when not there ---Charles Mason comes to mind...
The GOP/wingnuts are looking for cover when there is none! Nationally, this is not going to go away..Too much out there on video..
If I were President - I would let this run..and concentrate on the loss and ignore the shrill right wing -gop attempts to cover!
Would like to hear the President say in Arizona'==" I am here to honor the fallen, those fighting for life and the bravery of the citizens that saved lives...any guilt or innocence is up to the Federal Courts!"
Micheal Moore asked an prescient question...If this were a Muslim person making such maps or spewing such hatred where would they be sitting today?

And he only used Red Crosshairs when he was going to shoot.
I'm a lot like Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes: Why?
Ha! He must have been in Florida. He’s killing our elevations!

Like there hasn't been enough violence in this country, Sarah.

...just wondering if she bothered to express her disgust with said "despicable" rhetoric at any time before there was a 9-year-old girl and 5 other people lying dead on the pavement in Arizona.
I'm guessing no. A little late to start buying into reality now.
March of 2010. So as much as I'd rather not have to come to her defense, yes she had said something before this awful event.

Ya, the real power of this video is that is filmed months ago!

If anything comes of this, it's on you
me-oww!
Everyone should get a chance to see this video clip. Palin should see it. Beck should see it. Limbaugh should see it. O'Reilly should see it. Hannity should see it. All the wanna be hate mongers should see it.
Roger Ailes should see it. Rupert Murdock should see it. The Tea Party people should see it. Boehner should see it. McConnell should see it. The people that wrote the "job killing" bill should see it.

Ed Schultz has a great saying that he constantly repeats during his radio show...
"At the end of the day...they're always Republican!"
Ah yes, another prime example of forgetting that the Way-Back machine of digital recording technology gathers her in too...
She was a guest (odd term) on billo-the-clowns' program tonight and she seemed to be taking the EXACT OPPOSITE PERSPECTIVE in defending the Swag-Hag AND billo, beck ,hannratty, etc. where it seemed that all the 'other network' shows would never-ever find out she said something different.. These people have no ability to know they are being insincere and come across as lying twits in a situation like this.
I think this evening that ALL of billo's show was lame since he brought out Monica "I'M the queen - just ask" Crowley at the beginning to rail on Hillary Clinton, all was lost to the mound of crap that came spewing out of her mouth...
On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is like a giant turd falling from the sky right on your head, this show turned out to be a 9.8 ...... Crowley is a certifiable whack job...
Did someone say Way-Back-Machine???
far left loon >.<
Professor Peabody. How is your pet boy going these days?
It is an abuse of the FIRST Amendment.
If you can't yell "Fire!" in a theater, you shouldn't say it in the "take aim" sense either, to a gun toting, angry group. If free speech is about context, you're on VERY thin ice if you imply someone should he 'taken out', 'eliminated', 'rubbed out' with cross hairs and all. Mark their homes (O'Reiley), post their rally dates and times, for the purpose of doing "the big job"... << found at the bottom of a price list on a thug stopped by police on the lower east side of NY. early 1900's. Price was $100. Broken leg was like $25 or so. Busted lip, $2.
The Newstalgia had a clip from gunmen opening fire IN the Capitol, in the gallery of the House of Reps. 1954. 1900's thug, Peurto Rican Nationalists 1954, Sarah Palin's PAC 2010. "And the beat goes on...." Or should that be beatings?
talking about. She isn't very smart, not even on one of her good days, and this was one of her good days...

. . . and if you ever happen to be in a theater with me and you see a fire, please tell someone.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
Ah, but can one yell "Movie" in a crowded firehouse?

How can we look at this kid's past rantings and beliefs and decide that he's "deranged" or "mentally ill" and decide that we should have seen the signs beforehand and taken action, and not come to the same conclusion as regards glen beck? Is it because glen beck has millions and this kid doesn't? I can almost guarantee that if this kid stood on a street corner screaming the same stuff glen beck does on national tv and radio he'd have been whisked away to a nut farm long ago.
And just for the record: If I ever snap and go on a spree against right-wing leaders...the right drove me there. Not Keith Olberman. Not Rachel Maddow.
Just so we're clear.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Sarah Palin's Crosshairs Ad 'Despicable' 03/2010 View Clip - Eerie
It's 'eerie' I think because Dame Edna is uncharacteristically schtum in the segment. That, and Behar and Hasselbeck agree on something.
me-oww!

Watching this crap can only make you dumber.

I'm glad Hasselbeck is speaking out ot the rest of the hate monguerers, like Palin, Blimpaugh, Beck etc. Normally she is pretty nutty but she is right on this.
OK, so John McCain, in a moment of senile madness, picked this ignorant, lying nitwit to be his running mate, hoping to garner the "womens' vote",...He lost, and now we have to look at her skanky face and hear about her nitwit antics and those of her trailer-trash family daily in every media ad infinitum. Enough already. Stop giving her all this free publicity and let her creep back to her gun collection and get out of our faces.
In what universe would E. Hasslebitch's opinion on anything be the least bit noteworthy or useful?
