And how would you, oh wise one, have responded? I can hardly contain myself in anticipation of your greatness./s

Palin’s use of a notoriously anti-semetic term as a way of describing herself as a victim of the media, especially given that the real victim here is Jewish, is either grossly ill-informed or intentionally belligerent. Either one is stupid. Not my fault if you don’t see it.

There are a few of these clowns on FR. Possibly, this is the only attention they get.

My posts, which riled you all up to some degree or another, stated simply that palin's use of the historically and commonly used anti-semitic phrase, 'blood libel' was stupid. The reason I think so was also given (it unnecessarily gives her opponents a hinge-point upon which to turn the argument back against her).

Many, not all but most, of you have responded with the usual palinite insults...no surprise and no big deal. But, there have been no fewer than five threads here today that address the MSM attacks against her for using the phrase. That is the fact of it. And, who knows how many discussions were prompted in places that are not over-populated with Sarah-can-do-no-wrong folks.

The phrase reduced her three page statement to a damaging sound-bite (really clever). She once again handed them another hammer with which to hit her. She turned the higher rhetorical ground over to them, giving them the opportunity to once again take her to task in front of the inescapably vital middle...and that my friends is stupid.
