LOL! By that cool cat, Yusuf Islam, a paragon of philo-Semitism.

.....”It’s as if Sarah Palin had entered the temple of government and media and kicked over a few tables.”....

Worth repeating it. I love it.

Yes, FR’s regular MSM/DNC/RINO collaborators posts are expected...like clockwork...any Conservative...a “constroversy” real or imagined...the conservative is wrong, wrong, wrong, in every way!

The MSM are always in charge, and if they don’t like it..their flunkies don’t either.

I agree that she knew what she was saying. I also thought she made a mistake doing so.

I think she used it to give the MSM another shot at libeling her. This time attempting to libel her as anti-semitic or somehow inconsiderate of Jewish feelings. The term has been used quite a bit in reference to all sorts of things not having to do with the original meaning.

Sarah Palin has been accused of "Blood libel" for some of the innoccuous things she has said (her references to "death panels" would be one where she was accused of "blood libel" against Obama). The charge has been thrown at a lot of conservatives and I think that when the tables are turned, Palin exposes the MSM for the Democrat lap dogs that they are.

While this was a gambit, I think that ultimately it will prove to be a very clever move.

Check.

"Can Mr. Dershowitz give us permission to say “niggardly” and “negate,” or do we need to get that from Jesse Jackson?"

His permission for you to do so may be niggardly in coming.

Do not denigrate Mr. Jackson.

Ah, thank you. These subtleties often escape me.

I never read subtitles.

You *could* wear your bifocals ...

I have blended lenses, and I never go anywhere without my glasses.

I only wear them to see.

“Do not denigrate Mr. Jackson.”

Was he denigrated? Like Michael Jackson?

"Sorry about the duplicate - cat on the keyboard."

Yes, it is bad manners to allow more than one cat on the keyboard at a time...

[ExGeeEye]

I respect wtc911's opinion.

I note, with regret, that such respect is-- to put it kindly-- unrequited.

wtc911 is one of FR's finest.

I respect your opinion, and do not share it-- in this instance.

Courtesy ping to the FReeper mentioned, but not addressed.

I always knew Palin was strong and classy, but wow, more than -I- even thought.

Try as they might, the Left cannot make a dent in Palin’s armor. She is an incredibly strong, self assured and resilient woman.

Enjoyed hearing you on Andrea Shea King’s program tonight. Great discussion!

Now, now..let’s not denigrate the Bamster..

I saw some of those beach pictures with his shirt off (blech.) don’t think he’s black enough to issue waivers for using “niggardly.”
