The call
The targets
Here is the enlarged picture of the crosshair which Palin used in this graphic:
The words and the rifle scopes used on the map say a lot about "violence is not the answer."
Sarah Palin may not be a serious, viable candidate for anything, but her coded words and inflammatory rhetoric are very dangerous. She derailed the debate on the HCR with her "death panels", divided the country with her "Real Americans" speech and now appears to be calling for an armed retaliation against elected representatives of the people.
Rachel Maddow reports on violence that has already erupted:

This is frightening. It started with bricks, now they're cleaning their rifles, ready to reload.
The sight of blood seems to excite Sarah Palin, be it the blood of wolves, bears, moose or caribou.
She has moved to human targets... Sarah Palin needs to stop, sit down and shut up.

UPDATE 2 (by Patrick):
Our reader "voiceinwind" reminded us that Sarah should have a look into the Unites States Code before she publishes this type of incendiary garbage:
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 115 > § 2383
Prev | Next § 2383. Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

In addition, the Anchorage Daily News gives an overview of the devastating comments circulating in the media regarding Sarah Palin's dangerous and inflammatory stunt.

UPDATE 3 (by Patrick):
Please report Sarah Palin on facebook for inciting violence - here are the links:

UPDATE 4 (by Patrick):
Many thanks again to our reader "voiceinwind" for roaming throught the statutes!
