5. The other 19 Representatives should ask for protection now.
Gabrielle Gifford expressed concerns about this 'targeting' of her by Sarah Palin not long ago.

If this was a Republican and there was a chart like that with 20 Republicans in the crosshairs of someone on the left, the media would have been covering it non-stop long before this.

Hopefully this will remove Sarah Palin from the public platform the media has so generously given her.

She had the gall to issue a statement of condolence regarding the shootings:

My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona.

On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.

- Sarah Palin


This woman is dangerous. She appeals to the fringe elements in this society and airc, there have been complaints about her dangerous, inciteful rhetoric since the presidential primaries.

Hopefully she will be asked about putting Democratic Congressmembers in the 'crosshairs' of her unbalanced followers and required to at least apologize and retract her call for violence against those democrats.

But it is clear that Gabrielle Gifford was concerned about the 'map' and I think others on Palin's list should be also.
