Ready Aim

A controversial image on a post from former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's Facebook page has generated concerns that its visual rhetoric incites violence against Democratic proponents of health care reform, but showing their districts with crosshairs icons on a map. What's interesting to me about the visual rhetoric of the crosshairs image in their web rhetoric, is that it can also be seen as the crosshairs of the Obama administration focused on the interests of a Republican constituency, as in the case of this Internet image.
