Poor Sarah cannot catch a break…..she invents words….kills a moose on TV…..clubs fish……writes books….and as much as I do not agree with her politics she just makes it way too easy for people like me to criticize her……..
Recently there was a horrible act committed in Tucson, the shooting of about 30 people to include a congressperson and the death of a 9 year old girl……this horrendous act has the media lathered up and accusations are flying around the airways and the blogsphere…..most of it is that the shooting was related to the bile language of the conservative talk radio and TV…..the illusions of reloading, crosshairs, arming the people and using the 2 nd amendment as a solution to the Dems and liberalism in Washington……..Sarah is NO different she has come out and call the media’s concern as “blood libel”….
In the eight-minute video, Palin says, “Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.”
Does she know or realize what she saying? Does she know what blood libel is? I know her feelings are hurt….but she should have remained silent…..
The blood libel is a false accusation that Jews sacrifice Christian children either to use the blood for various “medicinal” purposes or to prepare Passover Matzoth (unleavened bread) or for vengeance and mock crucifixions. It is one of the central fables of Anti-Semitism of the older (middle ages) type. The blood libel is a phenomenon of medieval and modern Christian anti-Semitism, but spread to the Middle East as early as 1775, when there was a blood libel in Hebron. A second blood libel occurred in Damascus in 1840 and one occurred in Cyprus in the same year. As the blood libel was the subject of folk ballads and literature, it was not simply a religious superstition in Europe, but a staple of popular culture, like most anti-Semitic prejudices.
She has to be handled better….or find some handlers that have at least a high school education……….you would think after the use of a non-existence word, refudiate……she would have learned….
This video shows her as a non-serious person, a non-serious candidate and a self centered egotist……
Oh Crap! Just learned that blood libel is not her doing……she just latched on to the talking point from Breitbart…..she is a do nothing individual……can you paranoid?
Maybe shes a witch
Phillip. check your spelling…..
Well, it doesn’t really matter which dickhead she got the phrase from (it was unlikely to be her own idea – she doesn’t have any of those).
The truth is that, in my opinion and from all the evidence I’ve seen, Palin is all you say of her, but then so are the people she is aiming to appeal to, so that’s no problem for her, is it?
If you want to erase the problem of the Palins of your country, you HAVE to raise the standard of education across the nation with what will amount to a national curriculum for all from a very early age (that’d play well in the bible belt, wouldn’t it?). Religious myth, local pregudice and bigotry and the just plain weird would HAVE to be relegated to a “Local Issues and Beliefs” class.
So, that’s something else that isn’t going to change, isn’t it?
Palin is not a serious candidate or person…..she made it all about her and her tattered feelings……she is a self centered dullard…..
That never stopped most would-be politicians from gaining office in the past – why now?
True that….but I think her desire is cash not governing…..or she would have stayed in Alaska a full term…
Its not just palin. This issue created an atmosphere of angry, poorly thought out rhetoric. The response has been vicious. To hell with respect, these people are truly twisted and palin is nothing more than their crazy spokesperson. The righties wont go near the simple truth. Yes we have the right to bear arms, but we dont have the right to use them against those we disagree with……insanity!!!!
Absolutely. I couldn’t agree more. But that’s the problem isn’t it? It IS insanity, so how do you apply any sort of logic to THAT?
How do you apply logic to insanity you ask? Well Quin…….with guns of course. LOL!!!!! You just apply it aggressively.
Ah, yes – you see? I forgot the obvious answer…
