What? A politician that gets shot at a political event has everything to do with politics. Was it purely political as in right or left ideology, that we don't know. But to simply dismiss this as some random act of violence by some nutcase is completely irresponsable.
First, the map Palin posted on her website wasn't from 2 or 3 years ago, it was as recent as the November mid-term elections that were recently held. That makes it very relevant as far as the toxic political environment goes.
