Giffords Shooting Incited by Sarah Palin?

The kind of loud mouthed irresponsible rhetoric that has been vomited from folks like Sarah Palin and Glen Beck needs to end.  This graphic appears on Palin's web site and the cross-hairs are an unmistakable death threat.  She needs to be arrested and prosecuted for inciting violence.

Now Representative Giffords has been shot in the head along with bystanders and members of her staff.  How else can we interpret this event?

Marty Kaplan at Huffington Post has an opinion.
