I was unaware of the second part of that quote. I mostly agree with you about Angle, then. It is still ambiguous, as the "taking out" is most plausibly referring to her own electoral campaign against the same Harry Reid, Majority Leader. She was saying that her race to of overriding importance. But to use that phraseology in the same sentence that she alludes to shooting politicians in general is at least skirting the line of legality.
But Palin is not Angle. And it sure looks to me that interpreting the targets in any way other than clearly intended symbolically is blinding ourselves to a clear truth in the name of demonizing someone we already have very good reason to despise and some reason to fear, but not to label an accomplice to murder.
