Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

"Blood libel (also blood accusation[1][2]) refers to a false accusation or claim[3][4][5] that religious minorities, almost always Jews, murder children to use their blood in certain aspects of their religious rituals and holidays.[1][2][6] Historically, these claims have–alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration–been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.[4]"



she is?

I swear, what the hell is going on? Liberals started the fight...why are they mad when they get countered? Sarah Palin had every right to correct the left wing bull sh*t that people like Krugman or whatever the f*ck his name is and the nut jobs on here are pertpetuating. If you are mad about her defending herself, then you are the problem.

They're not mad that she is defending herself, they are mad that she is a CONSERVATIVE defending herself.

Neither does this:

As I reported on the main site today, conservative media figures’ fears that the left will use Tucson to clamp down on them are not entirely unfounded.

Rep. Jim Clyburn wants to bring back the Fairness Doctrine – a move aimed directly at talk radio – while Media Matters CEO David Brock asked Rupert Murdoch to rein in or possibly even fire Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.

I just realized that there is a certain analogy that can be made between what Palin has been accused of and golems due to the fact that Golems perform their tasks based on little messages that people place in their heads.

So basically, if you pretend that the shooter is the golem and that the rhetoric by Palin was the little "message" which got placed in his head, the thing whole thing actually works as an analogy.

Granted, I seriously doubt she was operating on that level of subtelty, but the analogy does kind of work.

You know, the ones that liberals are allowed to throw out but conservatives can't?

And yes, mindless, "government-help-me" types fall for the Lenins, Trotskys, Chavezes, Castros, and Hitlers of the world. They vote for community organizers with one-sentence resumes, too.

Sure, just like Jews were accused of using christian and/or children's blood for ceremony, the left is accusing Sarah Palin of using the blood of democrats to make political gains.

Look, Personally I'm almost as conservative as Palin, more libertarian. I don't disagree with her actual views on things like liberty, but returning vollley with over the top rhetoric just continues this idiotic cycle and gives her enemies, more ammo to fire back.

Though I think that's what she wants.

Ok, so she used a description of libel wrong, are we sure that she didn't throw out there an added 'the', or 'a' that is so wrongly placed? Because that would sure make the entire message wrong....GAWD she is so stupid! [/SARCASM]

I find it interesting that the name of Palin's article was "America's Enduring Strength" and everyone is seizing on two words, 'blood libel." Yea, that's dialing down the rhetoric alright.

rhetoric is the use of language. seizing on two words and talking about them isn't exactly rhetoric. it's just pointing out how she sorta shot herself in the foot with the misuse of the term. it's another Palinism.

we can't help that. It's like talking to someone that has a giant zit on their nose. you can't help looking at it, trying not to look at it, or think about it.

Where was the outrage from the left about making a movie about assassinating president Bush? You know damn good and well if anyone made a movie about Obama being assassinated the liberals on this board would make 5 dozen different threads about it.

Because if you had watched the video, there is no way you could see this the way you do. It just isn't possible. Nothing in that video was over the top rhetoric. It was a message of condolences and "can't we all get along".
 
Not a big Palin fan, but I think she nailed it. As for using/mis-using the term Blood Libel - minor issue. I mean after all English is a living/not dead language the meaning of words evolve and expand daily

Uh... yeah sure... but it's not blood libel. Just because you start calling your dog a cat doesn't mean it actually becomes a cat.
