Please, spell this out for me. How is there ANY moral responsibility on Sarah Palin for this incident? Vaguely gesturing at a map with crosshairs won't do, explain it to me like I'm an idiot.
Because, if you can't, then you're endorsing the worst kind of idiotic brainless hysteria.

Her intention was to make political hay, for sure. I doubt this was her intended outcome, and if it was, it couldn't be proven.
We're walking a fine line here, with freedom of speech, political or not, and ridiculous calls for revolution that only nutballs would act on. Unfortunately there are nutballs out there, and calls to "take back our country",(to 1850), have consequences. It's neither responsible nor productive, it rhetoric and counter productive.
