No, she’s not responsible totally.
But why did Obama keep talking about “death panels” today if she hasn’t influenced the discussion? She is the only person to use the term death panel.
And between the “death panel” note and the “use restraint” note, you conveniently left out the 2 posts quoting more than a dozen sources, from WaPo to National Review to the Cato Institute, backing up her first statement.
So she is doing more than making hyperbolic statements; she is backing them up with sources - though the media and many readers are too lazy to look up her sources.

Even worse, I am too preoccupied to look at Mrs Palin's Facebook page. My apologies for missing the 2 posts to which you refer.
Call me hopelessly old-fashioned, but, quite frankly, I don't regard posts on Facebook as coming from someone even remotely Presidential. It reminds me of the other Pubbie poster-blogger, MeggieMac.
I prefer reading serious op-eds, published by established venues such as the Wall Street Journal or other "dinasour media" publications.
Sure, when reading some really well written works, I wonder whether the person credited with the article actually wrote it, or whether a staff person penned the piece. At that point, I consider how well the candidate articulates their ideas verbally.
I do not doubt that Mrs. Palin is actually writing her own stuff on Facebook. And, I remain unimpressed.
