Palin 'Target List' Still On Her Facebook

A controversial "target map" used on Sarah Palin's Web site still remains on her Facebook page after the shooting of Rep. Gabriel Giffords.

That map was taken down by Palin's web editors from the Web site Sarahpac.com on Saturday soon after Rep Giffords was shot in Arizona.

But as the Web site Politico.com pointed out that map remains on Palin's official Facebook page, as of Monday morning .

The map appeared in a post from last March, that told supporters to join her " to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people."

"We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight," Palin said.

On Sunday, Palin's spokespeople said the images on the map of Palin's "target list" were directional locators, and not gun sight crosshairs.

But that hasn't stopped Palin's critics from saying the list, which targeted politicians who supported health-care reform from being elected, was irresponsible.

Pennsylvania Rep. Bob Brady says it should be a crime to publish Web site that places "crosshairs" on a Congressional member, in a reaction to the map.

Brady told Fox 29 on Monday that he will introduce a law to make that act a federal crime.

Palin has offered her condolences to the shooting victims 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," she said. "On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice."

Giffords criticized Palin last year when her named appeared on the list, which target Congress members who support President Obama's health care bill.
