Yeah, it's the public's favorite gripe: "You never see these politicians out here in the community until election time then they're shaking everybody's hand like he's their best friend."

Now you can't launch that accusation. They are now justified not to come out and meet you.

But my blaming Palin has nothing to do with politics. I'm not particularly left-leaning. I have to call it the way I see it. If you publicly target people exhortng the public to "reload" and "take em out" you are engaging in a dangerous tactic. I would call it irresponsible but only if you never expected anything to happen. If you were trying to get something to happen and something does then you weren't irresponsible but you are guilty of murder.
