Perhaps Sarah Palin is really clueless when it comes to her contribution to the atmosphere of violence. She is so imbued with gun culture that she has probably ceased to think of shooting as an act of violence.
Here is an email from her to Glenn Beck, which he shared publicly:
"I hate violence. I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence. Thanks for all you do to send the message of truth and love and God as the answer."
In other words, she can say: "Don't retreat, reload." And put up a map with a gunsight trained on Gifford's district and her name to the side -- and refer to that same map as her "bullseye" map. But she is not a "politico inciting terror and violence." No, it's not she. It's those other "politicos" who portray others as inciting terror and violence.
Is she really clueless?
Of course the more realistic and cynical interpretation is that this email was carefully planted, knowing Beck would make it public. Maybe she's not clueless after all.
