ABC News weighs in with a false claim against the woman liberals love to hate:
Palin's message to conservatives is not to retreat, but to "reload," she said in a twitter message. Her Facebook page even puts 17 Democrats--literally--in the crosshairs.
Not only does the Palin's Facebook post not literally put anyone in the crosshairs--we're not even sure this is possible--but it doesn't even include a depiction of any Democrat in crosshairs. Rather, it features a map of the U.S. with stylized crosshairs indicating the districts represented by 20 Democrats (including three who are retiring).
Several news organizations, including Bloomberg, have reported that "a rock was thrown through the window of [Rep. Steve] Driehaus's Cincinnati office on March 21." The rock-thrower would have to have had quite an arm, because Glenn Reynolds points out that Driehaus's Cincinnati office is on the 30th floor of a downtown skyscraper. (A 30-story building doesn't seem like much of a skyscraper to us, but possibly the sky in Cincinnati is lower than in New York.)
Good point. I think his office is in Carew Tower, the tallest building in Cincinnati. It was built around the same time as the Chrysler Building and is about half as tall. Definitely less than half the height of the Empire State Building.
In any case, I'm impressed someone can throw a rock that high. Must be a world record.
