Jewish Week: Sarah Palin is Right--We're Looking at a Blood Libel
Jewish Week ^ | Wednesday, January 12, 2011 | Jonathan Mark

Posted on 01/12/2011 1:15:06 PM PST by kristinn

Let's count who has been blamed so far by the Moderate & Tolerant Ones: Sarah Palin, the entire state of Arizona, the Tea Party (which was slandered as anti-Semitic during the election campaign, as well, by the same people who defended Obama churching with Jeremiah Wright), and let's blame all of talk radio, too, while we're at it, because the killer in Tucson must have been listening to talk radio stations in Cleveland and Philadelphia.

As Jon Stewart pointed out, blaming talk radio for the Tucson killer is like blaming hard rock radio for the Columbine killers.

It's like blaming Paul McCartney ("Helter Skelter") for Charles Manson, or J.D. Salinger for Lennon's killer. At least Manson and Chapman said they were inspired by "Helter Skelter" and "Catcher In The Rye." The Civility Police are only guessing when they blame talk radio or everyone who is opposed to criminal immigration from Mexico.

Sarah Palin is right. She is being slandered. Nothing reflects the vulgarity of the national conversation over the past few years more than the relentless "hating" of Sara Palin, particularly in the Jewish community, particularly those Jews who flatter themselves as being tolerant, as masters of civility.

Yes, articles, such as Michael Daly's in the Daily News, are exactly a blood libel, with headlines charging "Giffords' Blood Is On Sarah Palin's Hands."

You forgot:

8) Scratch your head trying to figure out why Sarah Palin continues to gain popularity while your own ratings/circulation/popularity continues to plummet.

“When Alan Dershowitz can be counted among the voices of reason, something has gone wrong.”

Alan is a very smart guy, and intellectually honest.

Liberal to the point of silliness, but intelectually honest.

Of course. Not even a very artful blood libel, at that.
