Yes, the crosshairs were in bad taste. But there's no comparison to the intense vitriol coming from the right-wing. None. The 5-second barely noticeable crosshairs in this ad would only compare to Palin, Limbaugh, etc. if the voiceover would've said something like, "P.S. He's a baby-killer! Time to reload! Hayworth is going down! Take your country back!"
And certainly, if Mitchell was WELL-KNOWN for shooting things, as Palin is, it very well could've created more of a stir.

I see that you have never used a telescope. They don't HAVE crosshairs.

Submarines don't have 'telescopes', they have 'periscopes'...that they use to track their TARGETS.

What have we become? The French?

this ad made the shooter try and kill giffords

@blueskimo10 : OF COURSE the GOP knew Palin used crosshairs! That's WHY she said "Don't retreat, reload!". Yer a moron.
-
It is clearly NOT a rifle scope but a telescope hence the words "Focus" as opposed to "don't retreat, reload" Or "Water the tree of liberty with BLOOD!"

Oh please thats not crosshairs, thats a submarine telescope.

@stauken You're kidding right? You actually think that all people in the GOP knew that Palin had used crosshairs?
So it's worse to put crosshairs on a district map than it is to actually put crosshairs ON THE PEOPLE IN A TV AD? I mean, you don't see them as the same level of horrible?
Were you upset when Obama said "If they bring a knife, we'll bring a gun" while in Philly?
Do you only toe one line?

These images aren't dangerous to anyone. Insane people will find justification wherever they want to, and an ad will not push a murderer 'over the edge'. It's not even worth discussing such a silly argument from either side. Harry Mitchell, Sarah Palin, Jodie Foster, it's all a silly argument: crazy people are responsible for the own actions, they are not controlled by others.
