His problems with Giffords predate Sarah: therefore she cannot have caused it.

DUH. No one on this thread or this board has said that Palin caused the Crazy Guy to shoot people last Thursday. The topic of this thread was her "blood libel" comment, on which opinions here differ. Try to stay on topic.

In addition --- and please read this carefully --- some of us who think her use of the term was inadvisable ALSO criticized the Pima County sheriff's comments the day of the shooting.

Hope that's not too much nuance for you.

nah, but Sheriff Dipstick and MSNBC did.

Yup, I had to demonstrae that the scurrilous charges regarding Palin were done with reckless disregard for the truth, or even foreknowledge. That being a necessary ingredient of the "blood libel".

In addition --- and please read this carefully --- some of us who think her use of the term was inadvisable ALSO criticized the Pima County sheriff's comments the day of the shooting.

Sure they did, but they're wrong in their criticism of Sarah for using that phrase.

Hope that's not too much nuance for you.

No, you'll have to try harder.
