"Most famously, she has played the victim card -- never more vividly than when she invoked the loaded phrase 'blood libel' against liberals and media commentators in the wake of the Gabrielle Gifford's shooting.

LOL! Notice there's no mention that the media was blaming Sarah Palin for Gabrielle Giffords shooting. THAT'S what led to her "blood libel" comment. She was being accused of inciting mass murder and she's supposed to silently sit there and take it??? She's not supposed to respond?

And, besides, I doubt if 95% of Americans had any idea that the term "blood libel" had anything to do with The Holocaust. I had never heard the term before and I doubt if the author of this piece did, either.

It’s not exclusively used in that context, so it was not a religious slur, as the Left would have you believe. Besides, when did they become pro-Jewish?

The media are great at finding an obscure meaning to a common expression and using it to smear the latest Republican to use it, aren't they?
