Comparing the use of 'blood libel' to slang makes you look really uneducated.

Slang itself is an indication of stupidity and lack of education.
 
i'm curious how many afgan civilians have been killed since we started focusing on how violent each side's speech is. btw, which side is for halting all civilian deaths as a result of our foreign policy?

Ah so in this case I guess the comparison might be accurate if he wants to hold the position Palin's use of 'blood libel' is just slang. Afterall, she is really stupid and uneducated.
 
Sarah Palin is doing what many conservatives do so well - scream they are the victim.

Don't personally care for her much one way or the other.

She'd be fairly irrelevant if you guys would just let her be. LOL

But I understand, with Bush gone, you need a new poster child to get people to stop smoking weed and show up at the polls.

Ah....dang it. "Weed" is slang.
 
Blood libel (also blood accusation[1][2]) refers to a false accusation or claim[3][4][5] that religious minorities, almost always Jews[citation needed], 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]
The libels typically allege that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover. The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically blood libel claims have often been made to account for otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victim of human sacrifice has become venerated as a martyr, a holy figure around whom a martyr cult might arise. A few of these have been even canonized as saints.[citation needed]
In Jewish lore, blood libels were the impetus for the creation in the 16th century of the Golem of Prague by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel. Many popes have either directly or indirectly condemned the blood accusation, and no pope has ever sanctioned it.[7] These libels have persisted among some segments of Christians to the present time.

Your party is built on victims. Without it, you wouldn't manage 10 percent of the vote.

I think any fair observer would say that there's way too much "playing the victim" on both sides. To act as though the only people doing it are on the left or even as if most are on the left is ridiculous.

No it's not, conservative ideology has nothing to do with victimhood.

You should try hanging out in a slang circle in a ghetto. The stupid people end up being the ones that dont understand the symbolism behind the slang everyone is using. And those that dont get it end up being made fun of right to their face using slang. (if you can hear someone using a word of slang for the first time and still understand their sentence does this make you smarter or dumber than those that don't?)

"Fair observer"? And whom do you have in mind?

I'm sick of this.

Palin is a dumbass but at least she demonstrated some tact by waiting a few days to come forth and address this civilly.

Her presidential bid is dead. It's the Independents who matter, not her loyal Kool-Aid followers or the people who hate her guts, and from what I can tell, Indepedents have not been swayed by a lot of her actions. Quitting as governor, going on a reality show, rabidly reacting to most criticism, etc. has not won any moderates to her cause.

Welfare, Obamacare, Pro-Choice, tax cuts for the rich, etc, etc, etc......

Virtually the entire Democratic platform is built on victimization.
