Here is a good sign that she is losing the argument on the use of the term.

Why Sarah Palin's use of 'blood libel' is a great thing

On the other hand, Sarah Palin is such an important political and cultural figure that her use of the term "blood libel" should introduce this very important historical phenomenon to a wide audience, and the ensuing discussion -- about how Fox News is not actually Mendel Beilis -- will serve to enlighten and inform.
...
I mean it sincerely when I say I hope Sarah Palin, who regularly expresses love for Jews and Israel, takes the time to learn about the history of the blood libel, and shares what she has learned with her many admirers.

The author says that by mis-using the term, it might remind Christians of our history of murdering jews, and that would be a good thing.

Are you really using an op/ed from The Atlantic as some sort of validation of your claims against Mrs. Palin? Actually, this tells me that your beliefs mirror the beliefs of the far left than they do the majority of posters on this site. Are you sure you're on the correct forum?

Like I said, with just one speech... the media is no longer able to focus on their message of the ‘TEA party and Palin caused the shooting’.

It’s now all about Palin’s message. The media is now focused on what she wanted them to be focused on, the notion of the media’s actions and whether the term ‘blood libel’ is appropriate.
