| The history and function of the increasingly common phrase explained
On January 8, 2011 in Tuscon, Arizona, 19 people were shot and six people were killed by a man named Jared Loughner. A Congresswoman from Arizona, Gabby Giffords, was shot in the head. Giffords was Loughner’s primary target. The Congresswoman was in critical condition and was placed into an induced coma, and was fortunately among the survivors.
Despite Loughner being immediately arrested, many had concluded that there was an accessory to the attempted assassination who remained at large: Former Governor of Alaska and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Gawker, another once influential website, often thought of as a “gossip rag” published “Shot Congresswoman Was In Sarah Palin's 'Crosshairs'“ on the same day.
Markos Moulitsas is the founder of the blog/newsite the DailyKos, once one of the most influential political websites in the US.
