Within an hour of Saturday's tragic shooting in Arizona, the Twittersphere had quickly seized on a map put out by Sarah Palin's political action committee last year that had gun-sight images over the congressional districts of House Democrats she wanted to win for the GOP in 2010.
Among her targets: Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was critically wounded by a gunman Saturday. His motives, authorities say, are not fully known. But friends of the suspect, Jared Loughner, have suggested that he had held a grudge for at least three years against Giffords dating back to when he met her in 2007.
Still, some believe that incendiary rhetoric like Palin's bears some responsibility in the tragedy. Giffords herself had previously raised concerns about Palin's map: "The way that she has it depicted has the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have got to realize there are consequences to that action."

WHAT incendiary rhetoric of Palins?
These people are OFF THEIR HEADS.
They were surveyors marks. The MSM would mistake a Ford Focus for an AK47.
THey are going to say “Why are you so mean” Libs SUCK
They see this as the way to stop Sarah for good, my guess is she is going to be on Fox soon to dispell all this nonsense.
The real culprit here may be Sheriff Dupnik’s own incompetence.....READ THIS THREAD:
Jared Loughner is a product of Sheriff Dupnik’s office

Evil democrats.
What about the Michael Moore movies? What about the book on how to assassinate President Bush? Not a word.
The Lefties in the media are telling us who they fear the most.......
She needs to get her twitter finger ready.
Do not remain silent Sarah. Fight back or be defined by the enemy.
You need to be on air all night tonight.
(and throw in a couple death panel comments too)
No evidence no connection, admitted, then “Still, some people feel....”
They can take it and shove it.
I’ve been listening to these liberals and they ALL admit there is no connection, then all they really are saying is “Now I’d like to omplain about something I complained about a year ago even though it has no connection here”.
They might as well cite the killings and then start arguing for Obamacare or closing Gitmo again.
I guess that means NO port Target stores..their freakin symbol is a TARGET sign..maybe they will have to put a BIG T instead
Of course the lefties fear her. I believe she will take up for herself real soon but will change her symbols from now on just to shut people up.
NO more I meant to say
Someone put out a target map listing these crazed journalists. It’d really have these wussies pissing in their diapers.
This is just another baseless attack on Palin and makes me want to vote for her all the more.
what a shock...the sick “person” who wrote this stuff also worked for Newsweek...
Next time she should put pretty little flowers on the maps, that way, what are leftists going to say “Those flowers are violent symbols”
Every time they put this bullsht out there, we will refute them. The left no longer owns the media outlets.
He was also stalking Giffords before anyone ever heard of Palin.
The facts won’t matter to the MSM.
This event had NOTHING to do with Palin.
I don’t really care if they are gunsights or surveyor’s markers. Those graphics were taken down after the election. Daily Kos and DU kept Giffords as a death target long after that.
If the left wanted to bring down Sarah Palin they will end up failing MISERABLY..this will make more people want to vote for her, because these kind of ridiculous attacks will make those see who the REAL enemy is..the leftist commie bastards
