Sarah Palin and Guns and Hate.

Love or hate her, this has gone too far.  We target metaphors to put issues in the crosshairs all the time.  Rifle through any literature and witness the canon that uses imagery like this routinely.  Sure Sarah has bombed some of her comments, any other person on the plane would receive better treatment.
Let me start another bullet, the argument is not shot yet.  This is a powder-keg issue that will have the opposite effect for gun detractors, who clearly have crassly seized the opportunity to make the tragedy count for maximum effect.  There is something about all of this that makes me recoil.
