Palin had nothing to with her shooting regardless of the fact that Giffords played politics with the issue before she was shot. And no being shot for another reason doesn't mean she was right and take a serious break from reality to believe otherwise. Crying wolf doesn’t mean shit if you get eaten by a bear. The left truly has come unhinged.
Saying, "I am afraid of getting shot," is not playing politics if you ACTUALLY GET SHOT! Why is that so hard to grasp?
How do we know that Giffords saying, "I am afraid of getting shot," didn't lead to the shooting? Wouldn't that be just as likely to inspire a crazed gunman as crosshairs on a map?
I don't actually blame the victim, and I'm not trying to say she was asking for it. But I don't think Palin was intentionally trying to get Giffords shot, nor do I think that Palin thought it was even a real possibility. Crosshairs on a district would strike me as "this is our next goal," or "this is where we're aiming to win," even if it was the district I was currently representing. I'd have a hard time seeing it as a call for an assassination.

Giffords made the allegation against Palin; feel free to tell her she was NOT subsequently shot.

Again, I believe Gabrielle Giffords made that connection, about a year before it was proven valid.

Easy to dispute. Did Loughner claim to have seen it? Did Christian Bale cause Colorado?
