With opinionmaking of this kind, does any human being continue as left-wing? Or is it now strictly the habitation of thieves and their dupes?

There are still some dupes and a few thieves in the left-wing, but most snuck over into the right-wing several years ago.

Now Sarah Palin is accusing the left of blaming her for the shootings.
I swear if she went hunting with Dick Cheney and he accidently shot her like he did his friend, she'd STILL blame a democrat for it!

I have not ANYONE blame her. They have just pointed out that this is a good time to re-think what we say and post.

This whiny bitch needs to find an ice flow and stay there.

Robert Wright makes an interesting point this morning. The really dangerous speech is that which labels our fellow countrymen as outsiders. All we can really ask is that people stick to the truth as best they understand it. As Roger Ailes said, “I told all of our guys, shut up, tone it down, make your argument intellectually.”

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.

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.
