Nonsense. If I wanted to say that Palin is anti-semetic I would have. I did say and will repeat that imo the use of blood libel was ill-advised to the point of being stupid. It has given her opponents a pivot point upon which to turn the debate back against her. Please explain the wisdom in that.

You may be right that the term is 'risky'. As well, the statement was risky. Sticking ones neck out is risky. Confronting the left head on is risky... What some may call stupid and risky other call leadership.

Where are the establishment RINOs? Where is Romney? They hide like wimps still... Palin waited until the time was right and she delivered. The RINOs -those oh so wise, measured and calculated are but spineless WIMPS.

A quick Google search reveals that Romney actually made a statement on January 8...

"Today's horrifying shooting in Tucson shocks the conscience of decent Americans everywhere. When such an unspeakable act occurs, and lives are taken in violence, we rightly respond with comfort and support because that is the only way we know to show that evil does not triumph over goodness in the world. I offer my prayers to all the victims and their families, including Representative Gabrielle Giffords, and look forward to the swift and harsh punishment that awaits the perpetrator of this cowardly attack.”
