It is blood libel.

[Pravious]

“It is blood libel.”

Indeed, it is. It’s an attack not only on Palin, Rush et. al, but on everything who listens to them or thinks like them.

In other words, it’s a full frontal attack on all of US.

[kenavi]

It is blood libel.

It couldn't be more apt.

It is the use of a false accusation of murder to incite persecution against the accused.

Knowing the history as well as I do, the term popped into my head immediately upon hearing the allusions to Sarah Palin.

That Mrs. Palin, an Alaskan self-described "hockey mom", could pull out this apt analogy from the depths of a generally forgotten history, shows remarkable depth. If someone else provided her the words, she's made a good choice in using them.

I still don't think she's qualified to be President.
