who is sarah palin? who is she to lecture anyone about anything?
She's the person who's been libeled by the left pretty much non-stop since Saturday morning.

I think she was hoping the left would find some decency and remember there were six people killed and fourteen wounded and maybe focus there efforts on the more immediate task of supporting the affected...not scoring political points by trying to connect her and the Tea Party to the massacre.

I didn't see the Tweet. But, for the record, YouTube removed a 4 minute video for terms of service violations that contained nothing but Tweets, screen-capped and compiled by someone, that wished Sarah Palin various forms of a slow, painful and excruciating death.

It was mature, strong, and sympathetic - focusing on the victims - while strongly condemning the "blood libel" the left tried to perpetrate on her and the Tea Party.
I bet she gets good marks from all but the dwindling minority of you "bitter clingers" that refuse to see the massacre had absolutely nothing to do with political rhetoric - from either side.

She did no such thing.

Not at all.
It's like shooting fish in a barrell. You people don't know where to turn now that most of even the Democrats are abandoning the narrative that Palin, the SarahPAC, or Tea Party had anything to do with the sad events of this past weekend.

Re: Sarah Palin finally responds...
I scanned bouton's link. The title should have said, [Liberal] Jewish Groups:...
They don't represent all Jews. Here's a prominent Jew found no offense with Palin's use of the term:
“The term ‘blood libel’ has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim.”
If Alan Dershowitz is defending Sarah Palin, the left has lost the battle, their quiver is empty, they've nothing left to lock and load.

Yoni found a single Jew who wasn't offended. yippee, another Yoni rat turd!
The reaction across all the serious media is "blood libel" was either a huge mistake, or an anti-semitic dog whistle. In any case, the phrase is overwhelming all the other crap in her ghost writer's schtick.

You have to be a complete moron to believe that she wrote that.
Moose Hunter didn’t even write her own memoir. This was obviously the work of another ghost writer.

He documents several examples from the right and the left where the term "blood libel" was used in a political context.
So most of the time it's used by columnists who think they are being clever and don't even know what they are talking about when they use that phrase.
I can only assume Palin or whoever else wrote that didn't know either.

She's just trolling her way to the White House as Obama appears to purposefully ruin his chances of what was sure to be a clear victory in 2012.

Trolling her way? I don't believe Sarah Palin asked to be the target of the vicious left.
I thought her response was warranted given the circumstances.

Americans caught up in spectacle and celebrity feud as our democracy crumbles. As much as I dislike Palin, it ain't folks like her that are the problem.

Two words: William Ayers. (<<That's the guy that wrote one of Obama's books.) Let me know when Palin starts having terrorists do her work.

Did Ayers ignorantly misuse the phrase "blood libel"?

Re: Sarah Palin finally responds...
Even Republican commentators last night were saying how bad this made her look. First, she tried to upstage Obama by the timing of the release. Next, she said nothing about the victims in it at all. It was all about her.
