Bugging her now is a particular graphic that ran below footage of Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush saying "snipers wanted" on The Late, Late Show With Craig Kilborn.

"Two concerns dominate the calls I have received: the misuse of the public's airwaves to suggest that violence solves problems, and the implicit endorsement of vigilante action against those with different opinions," Tristani wrote.
