I agree. Thanks for the Prager comment. Got a link.
Palin Derangement Syndrome means Palin has to defend everything that comes out of her mouth.
Many expressions become metaphors over time, and “blood libel” has become a metaphor for libel that leads to real death/injury.
No sorry. I was listening to him in the car.
I think Palin is brilliant.
Her use of the term "blood libel" in this context so enraged members of the Left that they are now keeping the story alive as it comes out that the shooter was NOT in any way associated with the Tea Party, nor was particularly interested in Democrat/Republican politics (although being anti-government in general). Their objection to the term "blood libel" (as a generic term to indicate a libel against an identifiable category of people which is so infamous that it provokes violence against the group so smeared) results in the people on the sideline wondering "what happened? Why was it a blood libel?". They then start getting the real facts.
A classic "rope a dope" debate tactic against the Left.
