Mrs. Big Shot

Think I'm being too harsh on Mrs. Palin in today's comic? Not on your fucking teabag. Yes, there are other prominent Republicans noted for their "Second Amendment remedy" blather but dear Sarah has presidential aspirations so she has the pleasure of being held to MUCH stricter standards.

In case you've been under a rock the past few days check out this image which used to grace the Sarapac web site (A page her handlers have removed since Saturday) showing gunsights over various Democratic districts, representative Gabrielle Gifford's being one of them.



Subtle, huh? Ms. Giffords was, sadly enough, gunned down this past Saturday by a right-wing retard with an illegal Glock.

And how about this Tweet by Mrs. Palin shortly before the 2010 mid-terms:



And, yes, I know full well what my cartoon might be subtly suggesting but Sarah is in no physical danger whatsoever as only Democrats die at the hands of political asassins in this country. (Squeaky Fromme never fired a shot at President Ford. John Hinckley, Jr. shot Reagan for purely personal reasons.)

Finally, I'd like to point out that I don't generally create cartoons featuring Mrs. Palin as

(1) It's much too easy a target and

(2) The less said of her, the better.

But this time I just had to point out that her foolish words have repercussions, one of which was a 9-year-old girl.

Was.
