In the 19th century your affliction was known as "moral insanity". Today, it is psychopathology.

Palin’s Incendiary “Blood Libel” Reference: Wrong Time, Wrong Place, Wrong Always
Listed in: Other Domestic Policy, NJDC News, Press Releases
WASHINTON, DC- The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) today condemned Sarah Palin’s charged “blood libel” accusation, released early Wednesday by video. NJDC President and CEO David A. Harris said upon hearing Palin’s statement:
Following this weekend’s tragedy, we—and many others—simply did two things: we prayed for our friend Gabby while keeping all of the murdered and wounded in our thoughts and prayers, and we talked in broad terms about our increasingly charged level of political debate—asserting that now is as good a time as any to look inward and assess how all of us need to dial back the level of vitriol and anger in our public square. Nobody can disagree with the need for both.
Instead of dialing down the rhetoric at this difficult moment, Sarah Palin chose to accuse others trying to sort out the meaning of this tragedy of somehow engaging in a “blood libel” against her and others. This is of course a particularly heinous term for American Jews, given that the repeated fiction of blood libels are directly responsible for the murder of so many Jews across centuries—and given that blood libels are so directly intertwined with deeply ingrained anti-Semitism around the globe, even today.
Perhaps Sarah Palin honestly does not know what a blood libel is, or does not know of their horrific history; that is perhaps the most charitable explanation we can arrive at in explaining her rhetoric today.
All we had asked following this weekend’s tragedy was for prayers for the dead and wounded, and for all of us to take a step back and look inward to see how we can improve the tenor of our coarsening public debate. Sarah Palin’s invocation of a “blood libel” charge against her perceived enemies is hardly a step in the right direction.

What a coward. Her response to this incident has once again demonstrated how poorly equipped she is for any public office. The victim and the victim's family themselves spoke out against Palin's "cross-hairs" map - this isn't a political plot. An apology would have demonstrated some grace, but Sarah can't accept any responsibility or criticism. It's quite amusing to see how quickly any comments that are the least bit negative are deleted from her Facebook page. A number of people have been banned from posting on her FB page merely for QUOTING Sarah Palin!
Sounds like a specific religious cult I know of. Use their own quotes and somehow they're still able to turn it around blame you for it or try to shut you up.

Psychopaths are good at blaming their victims for the harm they inflict upon them.
