If someone tries to shoot Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann, will it be CNN's fault for putting them in the crosshairs? Of course not. But it goes to show how silly the current talk about "rhetoric" is.


You know the difference between making an observation and encouraging someone to act, right? Right?

"I'm shooting for being finished next week" is not the same as "Thumper deserves to be shot."
