my congresswoman was shot today

Another point - Palin wasn't the only one to put a cross-hairs on a map. The Daily Kos did it too, but you aren't hearing about it.

Perhaps not to the same extent, but I did see the Daily Kos called out on this in an earlier story today. Don't remember if it was NYT or Huff Post or Wa Post, but I did see it.

For whatever reason, people pay more attention to Palin than Daily Kos, so that's probably why there's more focus on her now.
