KABOOM!
Our guys are firing back.
The lefties were in full swarm mode over the weekend — it’s a little demoralizing to see a tendentious NYT article followed by 1500 comments mostly from liberals — but our side is going to win the day and get the girl (i.e. the public). It’s just too obvious at this point that the facts are on our side and that the lefties WAY jumped the gun. Now our guys are going to make sure they regret it. It’s a target rich environment and they are going to mop up.

I’m sure it’s noticed by anyone with an open mind that they fly off the handle even before the dust settles and the facts come out.

Let me make your post clearer--"It's just another leftist pothead deranged idiot in a planned act of violence...."
There was nothing random about this, except the victims outside of Giffords. This guy got a gun, took a taxi to the event, stood in line until he got up close.

To be clear, if you're using this event to criticize the "rhetoric" of Mrs. Palin or others with whom you disagree, then you're either: (a) asserting a connection between the "rhetoric" and the shooting, which based on evidence to date would be what we call a vicious lie; or (b) you're not, in which case you're just seizing on a tragedy to try to score unrelated political points, which is contemptible. Which is it?Which is it? Huh? Answer the damn question MSM! Which is it? Keep it up and you're be totally irrelevant by 2012. We're fighting back on a daily basis. Bring it on. . .

I thought this needed a bump as the term is being used more and by even Palin herself.

Maybe we ought to revive “waving the bloody shirt” while we’re at it.

The left-wing press is going crazy over Sarah’s use of the term “blood libel.” Glad to see she wasn’t the first to use it.
