After the horrible shootings in Arizona, Sarah Palin whined about how it was not her fault. Dismissing the idea that "political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal." Saying that "Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn."
And even though it was HER map, she says "Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them... not with maps of swing districts used by both sides of the aisle." Guardian.co.uk
Maps with cross-hairs, mind you. And does Palin incite others who are deranged? Well, yes, she probably does. And for some reason, the cross-hair thing is a common thread. A critic of Sarah Palin has been threatened in an email sent to the Anchorage Daily News: "So I have my scope cross hair on her head! She better watch out, the request may have been her last!"

And all the critic wanted was some documents from the ex-governor's office. "Andree McLeod, [requested], under Alaska's open records act, the work-related emails Palin sent and received while governor." But, the governor's office has obtained its 14th delay in processing the request.
So, the questions remain. First, does the current governor serve "Ex-governor Sarah Palin, or the people of Alaska?"
And second, do only deranged people - "monsters" - follow Sarah Palin around?
