Sarah Palin sues New York Times over editorial linking her to Gabrielle Giffords shooting

Well, well, well. It looks like Sarah Palin has finally had enough of the Gray Lady's lies. News broke last night that she is going to sue the New York Times for defamation - a claim stemming from the Times Editorial Board's decision to once again portray her as the inspiration for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting. I previously discussed the story here, but in case you missed it, here's the short version. Back in 2011, the website for Sarah Palin's PAC ran an image featuring stylized crosshairs hovering over "targeted" political districts. One of those districts was held by Gabrielle Giffords who was gravely injured when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot. Ghoulish Democrats began using the website in their fundraising, despite the fact that we know - with 100% certainty - that Loughner's sick plan had been gestating for years before the website even existed.

even way back in Jan 2011 we knew that Loughlin's obsession began 3 years before the Palin map.https://t.co/9nJccuIQnb
