In the wake of the point blank shooting of U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (8th District - D - Arizona) Former Governor Sarah Palin is catching major heat for a tweet and map she posted and now has removed from the Internet, except the cached version.

Here's the tweet - link

Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!

Palin also had the Congresswoman's district on a map and marked with crosshairs.

As the blog Kateoplis points out, Gabrielle Giffords said "Sarah Palin has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district and when people do that, they’ve gotta realize there are consequences to that action."

The Congresswoman, who's said to be out of surgery, was, sadly, correct.

To her credit, Palin wrote this statement on Facebook:

My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona. On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.

With this, Palin can kiss any Presidential dreams goodbye.
