I think it's great that Sarah Palin used gun imagery when trying to rally irate Tea Party fanatics on her Facebook page:
Every possession is a battle; you'll only win the war if you've picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!
I get it Sarah: reload like you would with a gun you'd use to hunt a wolf from a helicopter. Example: if you're hunting a wolf from a helicopter and you shoot and miss--don't retreat. Instead, reload that gun and blow that wolf's head clean off! Ka-pow! Reload!
Liberals are offended that little Sarah from Wasilla used gun metaphors after anger and violence ignited over the signing of the health care bill.
Sarah quipped:
The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons -- your Big Guns -- to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.
I'm all one for free speech, but maybe Sarah should tone down her Facebook messages and have them reflect the realistic events going on such as a brick flung through the window of a county Democratic Party office in Rochester, N.Y.
Maybe her Facebook page could read:
Every possession is a battle; you'll only win the war if you've picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead THROW A BRICK THROUGH THE WINDOW OF YOUR ENEMIES!
