Proof that Democrats have not gone completely...
Nevermind. I can't even.

So, Palin has opted for a defamation lawsuit re the NYT piece from its editorial board: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40432931On of the things I didn't initially pick up on from the NYT article: "Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs."That's what the piece said in the first version and in the corrected version. And it implies that the individuals were depicted under the cross hairs. But that's not the case. Here's the map: gawker.com/5728545/shot-congresswoman-was-in-sarah-palins-crosshairsSo what do we think? Does Palin have any sort of case here or is it an exercise in publicity-seeking that has no hope of succeeding?

I think as a public figure she'd have to show actual malice, or intent to harm. I forget my first amendment law, maybe Cass knows better. If I'm right, and since the NYT apologized, that's a tough row to hoe.
Also, I saw this line in the article,
"Don't retreat, instead- RELOAD!" was how Palin introduced the map to her Twitter followers."
So, any outrage on her part seems a tad misplaced. IMO, this is her trying to stay relevant or noticed.

Sarah will certainly lose. For a public figure, actual malice is required, and it's a helluva hard standard to meet. And no, it's not enough that they don't like her. They basically have to know it's false and publish it anyway in order to defame her.
