Update: Sarah Palin and Daily Kos Have Not “Scrubbed” Posts With “Target” Imagery of Giffords’ District

» 65 comments

Shortly after reports surfaced that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had been shot point-blank range during a meet and greet event in a Tuscon area Safeway parking lot, the managers of the website for Sarah Palin’s website SarahPAC took down some controversial imagery that included gun sight symbols over various congressional districts in political play, many on Twitter noticed that a site endorsed by Sarah Palin called Take Back the 20 was no longer live. The site included controversial imagery: gun sight symbols over various congressional districts in political play, one of the targets on the map was that of Rep. Giffords. At the time, SarahPAC received criticism, even from some conservatives, over the imagery. Update – Its not clear that the image was actually removed from the SarahPAC website, though the site that originally posted the image, Take Back The 20 is down, and it still remains on her Facebook page.


The image does, however, still appear on Palin’s Facebook page.

Palin has also reportedly deleted her infamous “Don’t retreat, reload” tweet. Update: The “Don’t retreat, reload” tweet was not deleted.

The website Daily Kos has also deleted a diary about Rep. Gabrielle Giffords entitled “”My Congresswoman Voted Against Pelosi, Now She’s Dead To Me,” but so far has not deleted a post by founder Markos Moulitsas that lists Giffords’ district among those on their “target list,” and noted that “Not all of these people will get or even deserve primaries, but this vote certainly puts a bulls eye on their district.” (emphasis ours).


Moulitsas also used the occasion of the tragedy to work in a Twitter plug for his book, “American Taliban.”


The tweet, it’s worth noting, was sent well before the shooter’s identity had been released.

For her part, Sarah Palin offered the following comment via her Facebook page:

On the tragedy in Arizona
By Sarah Palin · about an hour ago

My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today’s tragic shooting in Arizona.

On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.

- Sarah Palin

While some will take these deletions as some sort of consciousness of guilt, there’s also something to be said for sensitivity to the victims, their loved-ones, and well-wishers. It seems, in some quarters, such sensitivity is in short supply.

Update: To the extent that these items have not been scrubbed, perhaps they now should be, or at least revised in some way.

This post has been updated to reflect that the “crosshair” image still appears on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page. We also have clarified that we are not certain that any images have been removed, only that the original website was down. The headline for this post has been changed, from “SarahPAC Website Removes “Hit List” Image That Included Target On Giffords District,” then to “SarahPAC’s Removes “Hit List” Image Of Giffords District, Her Facebook Page And DailyKos Post Remain,” to its current headline.

    Let’s see what the guy had on his reading list;

    Books:
    I had favorite books: Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver’s Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno.

    and the video he favorited a video of someone, probably him…burning the US flag

    If you look at the rest of his videos he was obviously crazy. I seriously doubt he saw Sarah Palin’s website or reads Daily Kos.

  • Gasket

    I could be considered liberal in my views and don’t like this DailyKOS nonsense. It’s merely adding gasoline to a fire. There’s no need to prove any points by doing this Markos. Sarah Palin should not have removed the page. It had nothing to do with the shooting. Removing it reinforces the narrative (false one) that it had something to do with the tragedy. It’s stupid.

    You don’t need stupid cows like Palin trying to inform anyone on any topic! No, not everyone in a single party is crazy, such as this one, but why throw out double meanings to the nut jobs,”hit list” “we will take every means possible ,even taking to our amendments rights” grow up! Why the double meanings? The nut jobs take the second meaning which is the intent! Use terms like “vote out” or” make the public aware”! You don’t need these billboards with guns on them! You mean take action ,not anything about gun rights. In two years NOTHING has reached the floor about gun control, grow up! This hate and false fear has to stop!

  • da-wdc

    I’m not sure what your point is in this post anymore, Mediaiate Staff.

    However your post is misleading about how the website Daily Kos works – I read it frequently from 2004-2008 until the primaries got too poisonous, so I know. The Daily Kos editors do not scrub or delete diaries, generally. However, the AUTHOR of a diary can delete his/her own diary. That is what happened with this diary – the author himself commented on being horrified by the shooting elsewhere, and deleted his own diary.

    >>The website Daily Kos has also deleted a diary about Rep. Gabrielle Giffords entitled “”My Congresswoman Voted Against Pelosi, Now She’s Dead To Me,”>>

    I don’t know what anyone is trying to do as far as deleting content. You wrote it, you own it.

    BUT, there are a number of particularly hateful leftwinger (as I said) who have been ignoring information, while creating nonexistant evidence simply to attack those they disagree with. It’s shameful.

    Talk to Iris… ask her about her gleeful trolling, celebrating the death of people, including a child. Ask her why it is that she’s ignored facts, and continued her political rants. Ask her why insulting Republicans/TeaPartiers/Palin comes first… and compassion, not at all.

    i believe that is the sanest post here
    and the thing is, if palin does take the target thing down it will just affirm what everyone on the left said…that she was calling for someone to shoot the people on the list and it doesn’t matter who fired the shot.
    she has to leave it up.

  • timcajun

    I don’t think at all Palin should be blamed for this, however if you have a child that is beaten every day of his youth with a stick, it is not a mystery when they use the same actions against their own childern or commit other crimes. All would agree, the parents should take some blame, even with the child being the one that did the crime! Palin didn’t beat the kid or even hand them the stick, but she let them know it might be OK to pick up the stick!

    In today’s lunatic gun toting society, NO ONE should use those terms in political strategy rhetoric.

    Hopefully a lesson of the sensitivity of it all will be recognized and that nonsense will be remove from our political discourse on all sides.

    Is anybody really arguing that Sarah Palin put out a hit list?

    I think the argument is there are whack job out there that don’t have a complete grasp on reality. When you are in the public spotlight and are boosted up on a soapbox, you have a responsibility to choose your words wisely and not use inflammatory words to light the fuse of a short fused bomb.

    Did either the KOS or Palin cause this guy to target a congress person? Who knows. He did go after a political figure so to say he was just crazy is ignoring he had a motive.

    Even if it had nothing to do with the messages they were throwing out there, this is a good time to address their rhetoric. Palin obviously feels something because she took her target down, that is a good sign. Maybe atleast she will be the bigger person and refrain from this bullshit in the future. I would applaud her for that. The KOS is completely foreign to me and I have no idea where they are coming from. Pressure should be put on them to tone it down if they encourage this behavior.

    Listen up people! Words, pictures and actions DO matter! I lay this tragedy at the feet of the TEA PARTY and the REPUBLICAN PARTY, if they hadn’t been coming up with all the “SECOND AMENDMENT REMEDIES” and the targets on democrat districts, this tragedy likely would NOT have happened. Any one who thinks otherwise is delusional. http://politicsandotherirritants.blogspot.com/

This is getting completely ridiculous now.

    All we know is that the shooter was not a fan of Giffords. Can we please deal with facts please instead of making stuff up and perpetuating false claims?

    Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, speaking about Arizona:

    “When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government­. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous­. And, unfortunat­ely, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”

    I think the good Sheriff would know more about the toll the vitriol in ALL OF THE SUDDEN extreme Right Wing (ie reactionary) states like Arizona than all the fake conservative apologists here.

    To target a district does not mean to kill the candidate you oppose.

    In fact, “target shooting” does not involve killing anything.

  • Truth

    First let me state I am of the believe there is no question this guy was several bananas short of bunch. However I do believe there are many out there like him that are mentally very close to the edge. What frustrates me is the naivety of some of our elected leaders, political peronalities like Palin and the media that continuely use rhetortic that could easily be misinterrupted by those extremist on the right or left that can’t seperate their own disturbed thought process from reality. As an example here is a quote from Rush Limbaugh “If Obama Had Not Been African-American, He Would Never Have Been Elected”. In the mind of a extreme racist this just fans the flames of the hatred they have already built up against this President. In the mind of a person who cannot seperate reality from their own distrubed believes this might be the fuse that cause this person to go off. Go back through time of these people that act out their fansy. Lee Harvey Oswall, Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, John W Hickley, Timothy McVeigh all crazies that were politically driven. We need to talk and argue our points without these stupid violent analogies. Even Obama used the term enemy when referring to Republicans. I hope this act of violence is lesson that that we all can learn from and clean up our act. My prayer go out for these people and their families.

    There is no “targeted imagery ” DKOS article cited. And reading the article, it is targeting Democratic politicians for a primary. Nothing about crosshairs, reloading, or gun talk of any sort.

    The deleted diary on DKOS was not deleted by the site; the person who wrote it (an anonymous person, I might add) has deleted it.

    The Palin post is still on Facebook.

    A little more fact checking from Mediate would be nice.

    That being said, I sincerely doubt this dude would really Daily Kos to find out who to primary; nor do I believe he would read Palin’s Facebook page.

  • bdpritch

    Sara Palin is someone who spews rhetorical nonsense because she does not have a clue. Her followers apparently don’t have a clue either to even consider her for the U.S. Presidency. And now this map, as you Sara Palin followers should know it’s intention is just what the speculation has been about. Ask columnist Andrea Rouda who referred to the map in hopes of someone “stopping” Keith Olberman.

    Yes (devil) Sarin Palin is guilty of promoting the IDEA, her being an advocate for the NRA, the map was to serve the intent and purpose of just that. And the devils smartest trick he played on society was convincing the world he/she doesn’t exist, yet he/she hides behind elaborate deeds such as a hit map and call it something else. Then this demon nut case Jared Loughner who shot up a portion of Tucson simply and only needed to have GLANCED at the devil’s map. And not needed to be a follower of Palin, no more than he needed to follow her plan. Hell, least we forget that all the demons fall in order with the devil’s (masked) deeds.

    Based on voting, ok fine then just say that! Not reload, in our sights and all the amendment threats thrown out! The nut jobs are the ones that do these crimes. Don’t give them a double meaning to work with! Palin didn’t want harm to that women, but she can’t wait to pander to the NRA and throw out stupid one liners, that make no sense! Both parties have nut jobs that follow these rallies, so why throw gas on the fire?

    SARA PALIN SUPPORTERS, where are your Pom Poms. Allow me to share some blues clues with you:

    1) Sara Palin is a supporter of the National Rifle Association

    a) Supporters include animal killers for sports and clueless folks who will support an egg so long as it’s white.

    2) Sara Palin gained notoriety because the GOP felt a “traditional” white woman would obtain Americas vote before a black male for president, thus helping the over his prime candidate John McCain of the Bush era. IT Back Fired. GO FIGURE.

    3) For her own claim of unwittingly knowledge of politics and numerous unanswered questions to date, one wonders how “Anyone” can garner such attention, television show, daughter is considered a star with an out of wedlock child and became governor of a U.S. State with the population of the Arctic Circle..? GO FIGURE

    4) THE MEDIA HAS GIVEN A WOMAN WITHOUT A CLUE THE HELM TO DISCUSS AND MOCK THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM. HER MAP WAS A TOOL LOADED WITH SYMBOLS AND THE IDEOLOGY OF A NRA SUPPORTER OR SOMEONE THAT KILLS ANIMALS FOR SPORT.. BULLS EYE. NOW SOMEONE WITH AN IQ OF A TURNIP HAS ACTED UPON IT. REGARDLESS IF IT WAS DIRECTLY RELATED OR NOT.

    People we need leaders in this country. The GOP and/or Bush Administration has torn the crust from the rim of this country and sent many jobs oversees. Preaching all along about Capitalism. WE DON’T NEED LEADERS WHO ARE CUT AND DUMB, WE NEED LEADERS WHO CAN DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND CANDY WRAPPER.

    Why the hell should they remove “target-imagery”? You’d have to have the IQ of a moron, or that of Sen.Dick Durbin, not to understand that the imagery is based on voting…VOTING, people out of office.

    It is those conservatives that stand behind the conservative politician by all means who are the deluded ones. It’s sad to know that the morals and values of right wing in this country has gone from serving the people to serving the corporations. And it’s even sadder for those conservative citizens who are NOT in the top ten percent rich to not have a clue that the agenda of conservative politicians are NOT for them.

    So… he just happened to feel like shooting people at this Safeway… and 2 of the victims just happened to be a congresswoman that Sarah Palin hated and a “liberal” judge. It’s all one big coincidence. I watched Loughner’s videos and I would say this guy is not a lot more sane than some of the Tea Party candidates we saw during the election last year. Most of his presentation is in fact Tea Party rhetoric– except for his views on religion. Coincidence?

    What psycho blog did you dig this shit up? “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

    “He was a staunch Republican,” said Paul Charlton, former U.S. Attorney for Arizona, “very conservative, though he didn’t let it show.”

    This site below under Negotiating and Ratification tells you who spearheaded NAFTA. George H.W. Bush. NAFTA and the US jobs going to India, Malaysia, China and back when, Taiwan and Korea.

    Do your research and you will see that such initiatives and support came from the far right. And one should wonder why the unemployment rate is so high. Below is a link of “Many” of the US jobs that have moved oversees. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE THESE COMPANY’S MADE PROFITS IN THE USA.

    Now this site below shows are current president making attempts to convince the Capitalist to hire more Americans with the “trillions” of American earn cash reserved. Instead they are hiring oversees and not here!?

    It’s quite known that these corporations are not for the democratic people and especially liberals. So we know who they support (far right conservatives) and who supports them (lobbyists).
