Some critics have reportedly tried to connect Sarah to the deadly shootings in Arizona over the weekend on the basis of controversial statements she has made in the past, including a map with rifle sights set on certain political districts held by Democrats. One of those included shooting victim Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' district.
"I hate violence. I hate war," Sarah wrote in an email to Glenn, AOL News reports. "Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence."
Glenn, a right-wing talk show host, read the e-mail on his show this morning.
"I want you to know you have my support," he said in response to what he read. "But please look into protection for your family. An attempt on you could bring the republic down."
