I'm just going to throw this out there. If some radical left-wing PAC had put up a webpage with a photograph of the Palin family with a bunch of gunsights over their faces, and then some unbalanced person who owned a bunch of guns felt that the radical right was threatening his/her existance and then hunted down a member of the Palin family and shot one of her kids, I bet she would believe that this irresponsible, violence-metaphor had a lot to do with it. OWN UP!

I agree with you about the religion. This is when I'm sad I didn't go to law school because we need to keep the re-separate church and state. The lines have become unacceptedly blurry.
