Accusing Sarah Palin of murder is also inflammatory.
It was meant to create a literal lynch mob. They want Palin dead.
That is why it is a blood libel.
Absolutely. It was inexcusable. And Sarah Palin was right to respond.
But she could not have come up with a worse way of responding. "Blood libel" is a very stupid choice of words.
It was meant to create a literal lynch mob. They want Palin dead. That is why it is a blood libel.
No, they don't want her "dead." They certainly want to destroy her politically. But they don't want her "dead."
Hyperventilation makes people say silly things.
For example, with your accusation, you're now guilty of "blood libel," too.
