As far as the Tucson/Loughner shooting goes, all I have to say is this: it was the act of a disturbed individual who prematurely ended the lives of six people, including a 9-year-old girl. Regardless of anyone’s political opinions of it, it’s a tragedy.
HOWEVER, shame on you, Sarah Palin, for backpedaling and deleting your ‘don’t retreat, reload’ posts and trying to say you weren’t responsible in the slightest. Posting a map with crosshairs over congresspeople who disagreed with your stance is HIGHLY irresponsible from someone of your power, and even more irresponsible that you refuse to own up to it. If that image and those posts really had no part in inciting this attack, then why backpedal? Stick to your guns and don’t erase all trace of that campaign, or erase it and own up to your error in judgment. You can’t delete everything then say it was harmless. Those two actions conflict.
Make up your goddamn mind, woman.
