So on BBC news tonight we have it straight from the Mare's mouth!

Gun totin' Sarah Palin says the Media are to blame for the hatred that gets Democrat congressmen shot in supermarket car parks.

Crap, Sarah. You encouraged this kind of action, and your supporters intimidate others by takin' Old Betsy" to election meetings and polling booths!! It was only a matter of time!!

Memo to the Media:- Stop reporting what Sarah says, or the blood of her political opponents will be on your hands.

Don T.""

It does seem that Sarah wants to put somebody else in the frame, so she obviously feels the need to distance herself from this atrocity, hardly likely if she didn't feel some degree of responsibility.

Bottom line for me is this: Sarah and her pals are the only ones painting targets on political opponents and openly carrying arms to election meetings and polling stations, and Sarah and her pals are the ones wanting to tone it down.

Whatever Jared Loughner's politics, he was presented with just the kind of enthusiastic encouragement, along with exactly the kind of role model, certain to elicit a response from a mentally disturbed and gun happy misfit.

I think that most psychologists would agree that in those circumstances anybody who had previously upset him might be in mortal danger, and there was a report that he resented the fact that Gabrielle Giffords had not taken a question from him seriously.

Q.E.D.
