It's not Paul Krugman, although I know he has many fans on the right who were hoping he would win the prize because he fits the "brainless" description so aptly.
Nor is it any lefty blogger who, over the last 24 hrs, has stretched, and stretched, and stretched the point some more about Sarah Palin's "target" list actually meaning that she hoped someone or someones would grab a gun and off the congressmen she wanted defeated.
Sorry - you're all wrong. The winner is the NY Daily News' Michael Daly.
The headline on his column: "Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' blood is on Sarah Palin's hands after putting cross hair over district;"
Here's the passage that nailed down his victory:
Palin would no doubt say that she was only speaking in metaphor, that she only meant her followers should work to unseat Giffords and 19 other Democrats who had roused her ire by voting for health care.But anyone with any sense at all knows that violent language can incite actual violence, that metaphor can incite murder. At the very least, Palin added to a climate of violence.
Palin should have taken it as a warning of what might happen when a Tea Party hothead dropped a gun while heckling Giffords at an earlier Congress On Your Corner event, more than a year ago.
That did not stop Palin from declaring Giffords a "target." Giffords' district office was subsequently vandalized, and the congresswoman noted that Palin had put "the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district."
"Metaphor incite murder?" Where? When? Who? WTF? Just one example would be helpful, but apparently Mr. Daly is far too busy drooling his hysterical rant to pay attention to such mundane details as proving such an outrageously stupid charge.
Congratulations are in order to Mr. Daly for topping the rest in vitriolic hate of Sarah Palin. The competition was stiff, but Daly prevailed due to his mindlessly idiotic "analysis" of the tragedy.
I leave it to AT readers to come up with an appropriate prize.

Show me one concrete piece of evidence that:
1. This moron was a 'Follower' of Sarah Palin.
2. That he was a member of the 'Tea Party'.
3. That he ever voted or voted Republican.
4. That he ever contacted Sarah Palin.
5. Proof that he DIDN'T Read and avow Communism.
6. That he wasn't a LIBERAL as described by a close friend to the NYTs.
7. Show me concrete proof ANYONE connected with the Tea party of Republicans or Sarah Palin vandalized her offices!!
These libturds CANM'T!!!!

This supposes the shooter ever gave Palin a single thought. What he listened to was the deranged voice in his head. His YouTube postings were crazy ramblings. Bet the columnist never looked at them.

"...a Tea Party hothead dropped a gun while heckling Giffords..." Huh? Can this jerk prove this? If not, can Palin sue the bastard?

About as many as made good on their vows to leave the country if Bush was elected?

I am not sure who is more crazy, Jard Loughner or the usual suspects from the MSM. Loughner is more violent for sure but is he more insane than say Keith Olbermann, or Ed Shultz or take your pick.

The only one who has blood on his hands is the one who pulled the trigger.
If Daly can't tell the difference, and if we held him to the same standards he is holding Palin, then if something bad happens to the Palins, their blood is on his hands.
Palin will be president in 2013. This will fall into perspective; the act of a madman schizophrenic obsessed with “mind control”.

Yes, because dropping a gun is the same as waiving it, pointing it, or firing it at someone. Maybe I should review the writer's work for any dropped modifiers in the past year. It will accurately predict the vapidity of future journalism.
Wait...on second thought, that's not really necessary.

"...a Tea Party hothead dropped a gun while heckling Giffords at an earlier Congress On Your Corner event, more than a year ago." I've never heard anything about this before. Is the "Tea Party hothead" awaiting trial? Do we know a name?
It seems the media would be playing this story everyday.

The prize for this faggy metrosexual should be the jawbone of an ass so he can mount it over the fake fireplace he drew on the wall of his one-room apartment so he wouldn't get any carbon footprints on his carpet.

Anyone who doesn't take these attacks on Palin (and us) seriously just doesn't understand the problem. A radio newscast here this morning declared that this Loughner guy had "no discernible politics*," and then went on to audio of some guy denouncing Palin for "targeting" Giffords.
This is going to be an interesting test for Palin's cleverness and instinct. It's sad that these are the ways she is tested, but it is what it is; and these days it ain't good.

"I leave it to AT readers to come up with an appropriate prize." How about this for a prize: Wads like you stop typing yourselves turgid by spreading the enemies' BS.
