She just didn’t realize how potentially incendiary “Blood Libel” was.

Funny, I don't see you posting how incindiary attempting to link the Tea Party and conseravtism to the Tucson shootings is. It's quite telling what you are taking issue with here.

And it so happens that the National Review and the Wall Street Journal are also using the term blood libel in this matter. Wanna call them stupid as well, you anal Rudybot?

It is sad to see the anti-Palin crowd on FR be so blinded that they ignore it was also talk radio, tea party, conservatives in general, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck who have been assaulted by the leftist rhetoric claiming we all were the cause for the shooting in Tucson.

“Blood Libel” is also a term that connotes a lie that cannot be tolerated. In old west parlance, “’dem’s fightin’ words” definition of what has been said saying that the statements made are so wrong and evil that they are tantamount to assault — the slap in the face with the dueling gloves that no one of character can leave unanswered.

Would the media have been happier with that equivalent expression? Hardly. But those two phases are the only that serve the point she was making.
