Hugh_Hoy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Not possible to separate the Tucson shooting with her "blood libel" statement. The shooting "triggered" the libtard association of the shooting with her "target map"...forgetting the previously published map sponsored by the Demoncrap National Leadership Committee and which I have previously posted. As I've stated above (maybe about page 15, here :content: ) I never heard the term before. (I've heard "blood sport" in connection with politics, but not "blood libel".) I took it to infer that the lefties were libeling her with the blood of the shooting victims. Prediction: Palin will run in the primaries next year; she might even win a caucus or two; she'll finish 4th or 5th down the line; she will NOT be on the GOP ticket...and I hope doesn't run as an independent.

robaus Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 >>Somebody must think the 'blood libel' stuff will go down well with Jews. Looks like Sarah's just dropped another bollock. Jewish groups criticize Palin's use of "blood libel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Reports say the gunman is also Jewish. So? Arizona Shooter Jared Loughner is Jewish Not one single new report has indicated the gunmen ever even saw Sarah Pailin's map with the alleged gunsights on it. And if you look at the map, the "sights" simply mark districts - not people. But the Dems are having a ball blaiming Sarah P. for the shooting. And people say Fox News if full of shite? --- Jared Loughner’s friend says suspect ‘Did not watch TV … disliked the news’ This morning on “Good Morning America,†ABC’s Ashleigh Banfield sat down with Zach Osler, a high school friend of Jared Loughner, the suspect in the Tucson massacre. Osler says his friend wasn’t shooting at people, “he was shooting at the world.†Regarding the high-pitched talk radio and cable news political rhetoric, Osler says his friend didn’t even watch the news. [color:red]He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right.

acockasian Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 If we can put the Arizona shootings aside for a moment I'd genuinely like your opinion on something. I know Palin's pro-Israel credentials are impeccable but was the blood libel comment a good tactical move or not? I'm assuming she plans to run in 2012. Personally I think that the term was included in something that someone else wrote for her and she just used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave32 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 BTW - that's what I think too cock-dude. Per slate magazine, Alan Dershowitz is now chiming in: "The term “blood libel†has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term." ["Dershowitz has been described by Newsweek as America's "most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights."[1] He was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 1979, and in 1983 received the William O. Douglas First Amendment Award from the Anti-Defamation League for his work on civil rights.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 One of the victims who gets little attention: Nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green died of her wounds at the hospital. Born on Sept. 11, 2001, Christina had recently been elected to her school's student council and had come to the event with a neighbor to meet the congresswoman, according to local news reports. She attended St. Odilia Catholic Church, where she was part of the "Joyful Noise Choir" and last year received her First Communion. An athletic young girl, she played on a local little league baseball team. Her interest in baseball runs in the family. Her grandfather, Dallas Green, was a major league pitcher in the 1960s and later general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. The team said Dallas Green was en route to Tucson on Sunday. Her father worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers in its scouting department. Link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Dems are desperately grasping at straws. Targeting Sarah at least provides a distraction from the Dems' own problems. p.s. I don't seem to remember Obie visiting Fort Hood after that loony major massacred US soldiers there. Overall a good speech though. I wonder who wrote it.
