Elizabeth Hasselbeck Calls Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs Ad ‘Despicable’

video
» 20 comments

Amidst the heightened tensions and threats of security against members of Congress that has followed the passing of health care, some pundits are targeting Sarah Palin as an example of irresponsible fan flaming. We’ve already addressed the mysterious power of her Facebook page, but it is the actually a graphic ad on her Facebook page for SarahPAC (featuring cross-hairs) that is raising the most ire, even from more traditional pundits, namely, The View‘s Elizabeth Hasselbeck

    Time to boot her from the conservative movement and brand her a RINO.

    Take care now, bye bye then!

    Tempest in a teapot. This non-story is getting too much attention.

  • The Real Royal King

    Well, good for Elizabeth.

    I think Palin rejects any and all criticism, however friendly, however constructive. Elizabeth’s was both. Palin would do well to listen, but I doubt she has ever listened to anything from anyone. Always too busy spouting.

  • same2u

    Love it when cons eat their own. I guess Elizabeth can kiss future Fox News appearances goodbye.

  • Caryson

    The only time Hasselbeck shows up on Mediaite is when she breaks with conservatives.

    This story is about as important as those poor, poor Democrats that are crying about threats that have never been proven.

    The only way to end this crap is to vote out the socialists in November!

  • valkyrie101

    Nice to see that cute Elizabeth show up the boys. Clearly she is correct. Time for everyone to stop with the violent allegories and images.

  • valkyrie101

    caryson,
    And yes, if you want to vote out Obama, go for it. That is the proper way to vent disenchantment. As opposed to sending out the secret sign that if things do not go our way, if Brown can not do it, then maybe Browning will. Those kind of images are dangerous, and ultimately undemocratic in context.

    Laughing that this is a story here. Too funny but oh so typical.

    Hmm, Valkyrie101 it seems a little hypocritical of you to say that and I am a dem.. I did not like Bush in the least, but you can not say with the movies about killing him, and people protesting calling him a murderer on a daily basis that we are any better… Both sides need to get a grip, violence was not the answer when dems did this, and it is not the answer now when repubs do it.. Unfortunately people are not as honest as they used to be.. Everyone knows this is not an entire group on either party line, this is a few and I mean a few fringe people.. You cannot control the crazies, they are going to be around no matter where you are… I work in a place with about 5000 people in it, and there has to be at least a handful of people that are a little crazy… So take that as you will… And just to prove my point so no one can say oh well, that never happened when Bush was in office, here is a few links to video and pics just for the “Nay sayers”

    this one is the best one, so many pics on one page, shows bush being killed, beheaded, called to be shot, all by a bunch of crazed people… We really need to take on the mistakes of our own party before starting on the other side… Open your eyes, stop voting for a donkey because they are a donkey , or an elephant because they are an elephant.. There is corruption on both sides. PERIOD.

  • tjl

    Mr. Hilton, for a “dem” all you seem to do is rail against them. Quite curious. But, I’m a right-wing loon, so I’m with you. Although, since there are people in the party who are becoming loonier than I (see: Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, etc.) I have decided to change my party. I am now a Green Party loon. And I’m no fan of Obama, that Marxist pig. I’m a true right-winger who wanted to vote out my own party scum, so I turned into a Green Party activist. So, I know what you’re talking about! All parties are corrupt! And that’s coming from me, a right-wing loon.

    (see how unconvincing an argument is when every time you make it you preface each one with “and I should know, I’m a Dem!” If you’re a free thinker and be who you are — a right-winger.)

  • valkyrie101

    I agree with you, Stephen, but we are talking about the situation as it exists now. And there is a big difference between a few crazies posting up a nasty web page somewhere that 99.999% of the people are not going to visit or otherwise know about, and a bunch of people showing up at public rallys shouting and carrying signs threatening violent conduct, not to mention carrying side arms with no purpose other than to intimidate people, or throwing bricks through polliticians windows, are announcing the name and address of an opposition candidate for purposes ot targeting him, or a fomrer governor with millions of fans publishing the names of politicians with bullseyes on them. And the number of threats against politicians happening right now seems more than usual. Correct?

    I was not aware that I called you a dem, was that on another thread somewhere? And it is not hypocritical if I did call you a dem, nor hypocritical to urge that the Repubs call out their people to stop with the violent allegory and imagery. It goes without saying that I would oppose that kind of behavior coming from the left, as I have never ceased doing, including when Bush was in office because that stuff is inappropriate and antithetical to democracy.

  • itzmec

    what rock have these women been living under, have they never heard the phrase, “figure of speech?” do they really think, that people opossed to the bill are going to take palin’s word literally, load their guns and use her map to search and destroy.

  • valkyrie101

    You are probably right, ittzmec. But why the gun metaphors? One after another. I mean tempers have been high, and there have been quite a few acts of violence recently, including numerous threats, etc. Isn’t it more responsible to use some other expression? Instead of “targeting” someone, how about “we are going to challenge this politician during the next election”.

  • timzank

    Why NOT the gun metaphors? You guys are being absurd…

  • writer

    A baby ‘loads’ its diaper. A bad worker gets ‘fired’. A rafter ‘shoots’ the rapids. Racers ‘gun’ the accelerator. Stop the hate.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Stephen-Hilton/1334543387 Stephen Hilton

    Valkyrie101, I apprieciate where you are coming from, and thank you for the honest debate… I was not pointing out someone posting a blog, I was pointing at the pictures.. Look at this link, at all the pictures… These same obama protests are the same kind of protest pictures you saw with the bush link i posted above..

    http://evilslutopia.com/2009/04/tea-party-protest-signs-bad-worse-ugly.html

    and this is the Bush comparison..

    http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=621

    My point being is you have people who constantly point and say well my side does not do this.. No both sides do this, one is not more innocent than the other..

    As for the… Bullseye.. I mean… really?? she could put an X there and people would be offended and say YOU WANT TO X OUT THAT CONGRESSMANS LIFE!!! So you see where I am coming from I hope.. :)

    Oh, and Tjl,

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/grayson-tells-kook-to-get-a-life-after-native-american-child-molester-accusation/

    There is your response from last time you either side stepped it, or ignored it.. Thought I would just repost it so you could see it, just in case you know… you missed it.. :)

  • TylerDurdin

    Liz, you lost any crediblity you ever had by believing that lib trash. Shame on you. Joy Behar is one of the biggest hate mongers on TV.

  • pyrope

    RINOs do NOT qualify as conservatives; in fact, they’re the opposite of conservatives.
