Don’t blame Palin for Tucson tragedy

Apparently the liberals, after ranting “Blame Bush” for several years, have found out it is falling on deaf ears. They have focused their venom on a new victim, Sarah Palin. The very idea that she is responsible for the horrible Arizona tragedy is ridiculous. Is a map with cross hairs on it any worse than the century-old term “targeting” commonly used in politics? The cross hairs are merely an old symbolic image of targeting.

If the tea party were to even hint that the tragedy was a liberal conspiracy to malign them, the cries from the liberals would be deafening. Be realistic. The perpetrator is a mental case, pure and simple. If, as the liberals suggest, it was a part of a Palin-inspired assassination conspiracy, she would have cross-haired a more deserving candidate and not a political moderate and innocent bystanders.
