Take that North Korea!
Aside from sinking ships without provocation by stealthily sneaking up behind them or shooting unarmed tourists, when's the last time you successfully saw any action
North Korea makes a lot of noise about attacking but never does anything — because it knows it's ass would be kicked by the South if they tried anything. (With or without the U.S.'s help.)

1 Down, 19 to Go
Typically—despite the fact that a fellow legislator and a 9-year old bystander was murdered in the recent rampage in Tuscon, Arizon—rather than engage in any leadership or healing, Sarah Palin and the GOP have resorted to fingerpointing and defensiveness to go out of their way to say they had nothing to do with ordering the assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
The fact that they have gotten so defensive and tried to deflect blame in my eyes shows that they recognize their culpability in the event.
Palin delights in showing that she is a straight shooter and a card-carrying member of the NRA. She knew what she was doing when she put targets on those people's names. So she should be proud to have played a role in this political assassination attempt.
While they may have not explicitly asked for their deaths, the demonization and level of hatred that they have stirred in pursuit of their political ideology shows that, like Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, the assassin who recently killed Pakistani official Salman Taseer, they share a predeliction for using murder as a tool to achieve their religious and ideological ends when they feel they cannot do so through appropriate due process.
Isnt' there a law against targeting sitting legislators for murder?
