Mark Kelly discussed on radio with me his new book, Enough: Our Fight to Keep America Safe from Gun Violence. I asked him about Sarah Palin’s infamous target map and whether he thinks it played a role in the shooting of his wife, Gabrielle Giffords.

COLMES: An atmosphere was created do you think where what happened to your wife was possible? I mean people have talked about things like Sarah Palin putting out a map with targets on it. Do you put any blame in that direction?
KELLY: No, you know, this has come up a number of times with the targets of Gabby’s district and others. There’s no evidence between a direct correlation between that and what happened. Having said that, Gabby gave an interview a couple of days after the election, where she did say, you know, it is an irresponsible thing to do.
COLMES: To do what Sarah Palin did?
KELLY:  Well, yeah, you know it’s insensitive. I don’t think it’s related to what happened that day. We clearly know from the evidence it was not. But at the same time, I don’t think it’s the best choice.

    An all around charitable guy who is a much better representation of the best of us than anyone on the fringe right who irresponsibly waives the flag and a gun at the same time.

      Isn’t it refreshing to hear sanity

    ‘Those were surveyors “cross-hairs” not target sights!’-Sarah PalinBrawl only removed her targets after Gabby’s anti-Semite, anti-government assassin shot 20 and killed 6 people, including federal District Court Chief Judge John Roll; Gabe Zimmerman, one of Rep. Giffords’ staffers; and a nine-year-old girl, Christina-Taylor Green.

    Commander Kelly is far too kind and classy. I’ll reiterate the debacle: ‘Those were surveyors “cross-hairs” not Gun-target cross-hair sights!’-Sarah PalinBrawl only removed her targets after Gabby’s anti-Semite, anti-government assassin shot 20 and killed 6 people, including federal District Court Chief Judge John Roll; Gabe Zimmerman, one of Rep. Giffords’ staffers; and a nine-year-old girl, Christina-Taylor Green.

    “Don’t retreat, instead- RELOAD!”-Sarah Palin. Anybody sane dumped the wicked witch of Alaska in May 2010 as she “targeted” 20 districts including Giffords before Gabby’s shooting in January, 2011. http://gawker.com/5728545/shot-congresswoman-was-in-sarah-palins-crosshairs 6/12/10 “Get on Target for Victory in November.” Description: “Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with (Tea Party AZ Repub) Jesse Kelly.”

    Love Alan’s subtle segue from mental illness to congress, I’m guessing that was not an accident.
