Following the massacre from this Saturday, and while the president is giving a unite the country speech, Sarah Plain felt it necessary to respond to critics with a foul reference, that has left pundits and the like wondering what the fuck.
Sarah Palin responds to her critics, with the following.
"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 that they purport to condemn," Palin said in the video.
Although i believe she is an idiot... I think she knew what she was doing when she used the term blood libel.
First .. what is a blood libel?
Blood libel (also blood accusation) refers to a false accusation or claim that religious minorities, usually Jews, murder children to use their blood in certain aspects of their religious rituals and holidays. Historically, these claims have—alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration—been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.
The libels typically allege that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover. The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and, historically, blood libel claims have been made to account for otherwise unexplained deaths of children.
Now that we know what she was talking about, I do not believe that she meant to draw Jews of Judaism in to the argument, but rather was trying to draw the parallel, that she should not be vilified for having used rifle cross-hairs on a map to denote democrats that disagree with her stance on health-care.
This is foolish at best and self indulgent at most. She knows that she is partly responsible for inciting an entire political movement. She makes her living giving speeches regurgitating the same rhetoric over and over.
While on the campaign trail, she was willing to use her website to invite people to gather in a particular place and give her money. She was happy to be responsible for that. But, now that someone has followed her advise and followed through with her RELOAD mentality, we are crucifying her
I am calling BULLSHIT
