Now if some whacko abducts Palin and dumps her on an ice flow or impales her with an icicle, maybe you'll rethink what you posted.

Hey, this "blood libel" stuff is fun! It doesn't even have to be restricted to just those in governance; rather, it can be directed to anyone with a Venue for Mass Dissemination (VMD) like television, radio; or, website since audiences tend to accept reinforcement of their opinions from most any source. Even better is that it can be preemptive [see example above]. Thanks Dana.

Palin is a goddamn fucking hypocrite. She is now accusing the media of doing to her what she has already done to Obama and what the rest of her cadre does to liberals. She's an evil tool.

Ah yes, the reciprocity of reciprocal reciprocation; or, the Three "R"s of politics.

Would you put her on an ice floe?

That depends. Is global warming real or not ?

Penn Jillette said it best: Democrats are the party of hate; Republicans are the party of fear.

A very nice plea for reasonableness...which I admit I tend to lose when I get passionate. But take out 'goddamn' and 'evil' and my statement still stands strong. She's a tool at this point (and I mean it literally not figuratively) and she is being hypocritical too.

Ah, the latest talking point. Comparing the claim that Jews used Christian childrens' blood in rituals to the request for Palin to stop using violent rhetoric.

With the length of time since the Tucson shootings and the talking heads
exploring almost every perspective of motivations for it,
why would Sara Palin deliberately chose to use this phrase "blood libel" ?
It's not like she has not had sufficient time to think it through.

My first reaction is along the lines of "any kind of publicity is good";
sort of like Kate Goslin going on "Dancing with the Stars",
only "blood libel" 'is much more incongruous.

Not relevant, our Constitution does not apply world wide.

A trifecta!

And there you have it...

Don't you guys even see the hypocrisy in your statements or am I just off base here?
