What term comes closer to describing what they did? If it wasn't "Blood Libel" then what the hell was it?
The only Man in the Republican Presidential Pool is Sarah Palin, and maybe Michelle Bachmann.
One word she could have used, rather than “blood libel”, is defamation. The idiot liberals are guilty of both slander (spoken defamation) and libel (written defamation) against her and all conservatives.
She must have thought long and hard about using “blood libel”, given how she had to have known that it was going to stir up another hornet’s nest of idiot liberals in the media and the Demonrat party.
So she used “blood libel” intentionally, in order to get the exact reaction that ensued.
I think the words defamation, libel and slander have lost most of their power and effect (because the left inhabits these concepts every day, just about everything they say and do defames someone who disagrees with them), and therefore would have been mostly ignored had she just used one of those. She needed something much stronger to vividly illustrate the nature of the left’s sickness and mental illness.
Once again, Sarah Palin drives the debate.
