The use of the term blood libel in non-Jewish contexts is out of bounds, eh?
Andrew Sullivan, October 10, 2008:
A couple of obvious thoughts. Paladino speaks of perverts who target our children and seek to destroy their lives. This is the gay equivalent of the medieval (and Islamist) blood-libel against Jews.
Ann Coulters column, October 30, 2008:
His expert pontificator on race was The Washington Posts Eugene Robinson, who said the Pittsburgh hoax was the blood libel against black men concerning the defilement of the flower of Caucasian womanhood. Its been with us for hundreds of years and, apparently, is still with us.
From a the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, September 30, 2009:
Almost immediately following the aftermath of the shooting, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation was the unlikely voice that called for the safeguard of Muslims in the armed forces.
Within hours of the news breaking, MRFF founder and president Mikey Weinstein criticized former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin for saying that she was all for profiling against Muslims.
Were not painting all Jews as thieves for Madoffs economic crimes, said Weinstein, comparing Palins comments to a blood libel.
