Within hours, maybe minutes, of the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords, Liberal pundits began to point fingers at right wing extremists which, apparently, applied to Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican candidate for Vice President. Of particular concern was the “cross-hairs” image, used by Palin to establish which Democrats to target in upcoming elections. Evidently and, coincidentally after-the-fact, such violent <\/em>imagery and rhetoric was said to have led to the carnage in Tucson.

I wonder how scary Ms. Walters thinks a depiction of the President getting assassinated is?<\/p>\n

Back in 2006 I wrote a blog post<\/a>, for RedBlueChristian.com, about a docudrama <\/em>depiction of the assassination of President George W. Bush<\/a>. Note that the TV movie was produced in the U.K. Per The London Standard,<\/p>\n
