For those who are unaware of the historical context, in 2011 a mentally disturbed individual opened fire on politician Gabby Giffords during a public appearance.
Giffords was one of several politicians who Palin’s political action group had chosen to focus their attentions on in the hopes of defeating them at the polls, using a crosshairs symbol to indicate the districts these individuals represented.
This led to the mainstream media and several other groups leaping to the conclusion that Palin was somehow “responsible” for what took place, even though the individual was later found to have had a personal grudge against Giffords over a perceived slight.
A few months later, a pro-abortion activist would find a list of organizations that the Southern Poverty Law Center flagged as being anti-abortion, used them to formulate their hit list, and attacked the headquarters of one organization, only to be captured by a security guard, who was wounded in the effort.
Cue the SPLC and its supporters going to some length to justify how it was that they shouldn’t be held to account but Palin should.

America has forgotten Sarah Palin. She did all the damage to the Republican Party she could do and has since moved on.
