You did not respond to wtc911's question. Instead, you said a lot of things he and most of us are aware of.

You also accused him of saying somethings he didn't say, such as:

Why do you persist in blaming the victim of death threats, when they have been proven unwarranted?

As for Palin's use of the term "Blood Libel", I support her. And you can verify that by reading some of my recent posts.

Incorrect.

His question was as follows:

explain, in detail, how Palin's use of blood libel did NOT give her opponents the opportunity to turn her statement in an anti-palin rant.

In order to answer that, I had to lay out the situation concerning the accusations about Palin prior to her speech, the other statements made by her detractors leading up to the speech, and the actual facts of the situation.

In doing so I demonstrated that Palin's detractors were willing to lie through their teeth, demonstrating means, motive, opportunity, and giving the names of other public-figure Democrats who nonetheless defended Palin, showing that even among liberals, the charges against her were not accepted: thereby showing the animus on the part of the anti-Palin crowd was in fact a pretext.

Given that it is established that Palin's attackers were willing to attack in advance of the facts, to continue to attack after the facts came out, showing them to be liars, and that they didn't even listen to their own erstwhile leaders (pollsters and Harvard professors), it therefore follows that no matter WHAT Palin said, or didn't say, she would still be subject to character assassination by the moonbats: falsity is of no consequence to them.

Therefore, NOTHING she did (not even silence as she exhibited for a few days) would be sufficient to prevent the attacks upon her.

First question answered, QED.

You then wrote to me:

You also accused him of saying somethings he didn't say, such as:

The answer to this is his own question to the other poster, to wit,

"explain, in detail, how Palin's use of blood libel did NOT give her opponents the opportunity to turn her statement in an anti-palin rant."

akin to blaming a rape victim for wearing provocative clothing: since it has already been established that those attacking Palin were doing so without any regard to the facts.

Cheers!

Thanks but don’t concern yourself with the lies from the palinites...I don’t. It’s sort of pitiful to tell the truth.
