'Blood libel'? Sarah Palin claims she's being persecuted
Sarah Palin says she's the victim of "blood libel" in the Arizona shootings. As one person put it on twitter,
"Really? "Blood Libel"? Someone tries to assassinate a Jewish member of Congress, and you use the phrase "Blood Libel"? Shame on you".
Howard Kurtz, who only a few days ago was defending her actions, now condemns her.
“Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding,” Palin said in a video on her Facebook page, “journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.”
Blood libel, for those who are not familiar, describes a false accusation that minorities—usually Jews—murder children to use their blood in religious rituals, and has been a historical theme in the persecution of the Jewish people.
Had Palin scoured a thesaurus, she could not have come up with a more inflammatory phrase
Sarah should change her last name to "Palindrome". No matter which way she flip her, she still spells "i-d-i-o-t".
She really is a very stupid person. And apparently she either doesn't want to pay the cost of or just can't get a competent handler. I'm thinking the latter because I can't imagine anyone who really knows what he's doing wanting anything to do with Palin.
I honestly believe she has no idea how stupid she looks. When the directer said "cut" on this one, she probably pumped her fist and said "nailed it!"
"Journalists and pundi-N-ts..."
Just like bu$h: st00pid.
far left loon >.<
That would certainly allow Michael Palin to continue to be, as John Cleese put it, "the funniest Palin."
Ironically, the discussion of the word "palindrome" is how the famous Dead Parrot sketch ends. Nilap Haras should consider her political future as dead as the Norwegian blue parrot.
That woman is worse than an idiot.
Did you know an anagram of "Sarah Palin" is "a plain rash"?
Oh, oh! and "Anal parish"!
Also "Plan sharia".
"La Piranhas"
"Ah! Anal rips!"
"Ah, span liar".
Sarah honey, you just don't get it.The goal was to appear to be sincere, empathetic to the victims of this violent event, and an opportunity to show that you actually had "reflected and prayed" over this. You failed. Your video is contrived, lacking in any sincerity, and quite frankly is a bad acting job.
I beg to differ. She comes across as a bitter, shrill, sneering, smug, self-absorbed shrew. Where her tone seems vapid and insincere, it is merely because she is vapid and insincere. Overall, a very genuine performance.
Im from England have been visiting this site for ages as the videos are well chosen, but this clip above all others forced me to register and make a comment.
Its jaw-dropping. The insincerity ooozes out of the screen and betrays her complete lack of a moral compass, she would never get elected in my country and i fear for your political system that she still maintains such a high profile.
I think this will bring your site down in terms of comments.

I don't think she can get elected here either. I'm sure when she was elected in Alaska she maintained a low enough profile for her wingnuttery to remain well hidden from public view.
The only reason she remains in the news now is because liberals pay her way too much attention.
and goes on to become the vicepresidential candidate for the past election by "keeping a low profile?"

It's her folksy, common-talk shtick. There are lots of dumb people in America that would like someone like Palin as their next door neighbour: a "hockey mom and 'real' American." That means presidential material, to many.

It's obvious that Palin knows the power of words, and those words should include the hateful, incendiary rhetoric that has come out of her mouth, the mouths of Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Savage, Levin, Boortz, and many other conservatives.
She is, probably more than anyone, using this tragedy for her own benefit.
She has a great support group... and selling the Palin brand is job one.
Of COURSE she didn't write this, she's too stupid to know that many big words. Sounds like her buddy Beck to me. Beck would have run across the term and thought it meant that it had something to do with litigation. Yes, he's stupid as well, but at least he can read.
Yup.

CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL/TEABAGGERS AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
In order to gain the political power they've enjoyed for decades, Republican moderates and fiscal conservatives made a pact with the devil (faux Christians, bigots, racists, sexists - teabaggers) to achieve the numbers they needed to defeat Democrats. They made a strategic decision to manipulate and exploit the ignorance, fears and hatreds of dysfunctional, malleable and misanthropic voters in order to win elections rather than lose them by being intellectually and morally HONEST.
Today, those who conspired with the devil are caught between wanting to disassociate themselves with/casting out the demons/teabaggers they empowered and the karmic reality that they don't have the numbers to hold on to or regain power without accepting and "advocating" the immoral prejudices, hypocrisies and corruptions that are dividing and destroying their party.
The survival of today's shrinking Republican Party is so dependent on extremism that they have no significant power left WITH or WITHOUT the support of America's increasingly pernicious lunatic fringe.
The idiom "caught between the devil and the deep blue sea" is appropriate as Republicans are facing the dilemma of choosing between two equally undesirable alternatives that both result in Republican impotence in mainstream American politics. They are suffering the consequences of their treachery.
Their irresponsible propping up of George W. Bush cost them their credibility, and the malicious dissonance of teabaggers, birthers and deathers exacerbated by the incendiary exhortations of Palin, Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity are costing them their viability.

TEST OF A CONSCIENCE:
If a South Floridian Muslim were to target 20 politicians in print and on the airwaves and someone in the Nation were to shoot one of them...
... Would Palin defend that South Floridian's 1st Amendment Rights?

... I can sure tell you where said Muslim would spend the night... and the next umpteen nights... in jail.
On a beach, with a nice sea-breeze, on the Southeastern side of some big Caribbean Island?
... see that island from her porch?
This is perfect. I could not ask for a better response from Sarah Palin. It will make he idiotic base happy but it will piss off so many middle of the road independents she will never recover. If she would have said something like, "It is time to tone down the aggressive rhetoric. Our country needs to get back on track. Both sides need to keep it civil blah blah blah and I realize that I may be a part of this blah blah blah and in the future I will do my best to stick to the issues and will try to heal this country blah blah blah...." some people in the middle would have given her credit and listened to what she has to say in the future. Now they know she is an egotistical narcissistic sociopath. "Poor poor me" after this real patriot congresswoman almost gets her head blown off.

What is the likelihood that is the message Americans take from this. The response to the shooting in Tucson was an uptick in Glock sales. The response to this is more likely an uptick in the level of vitriol and further division in the country. In a time normally set aside for grieving, she has come out scolding. Beck, Limbaugh, Boortz, O'Reilly too have embraced their angry rhetoric. How long before their legions of rapturous listeners follow in step?
As I said , the base will always rally around these, these, these, jokers. It is the rest of us who are getting really tired and annoyed. Of course the same percentage, more or less, could never never like Palin or accept her or vote for her (in other words she could never fool us) but there is also a certain percentage who are/were on the fence and she has lost a huge percentage of them now. In other words, she is toast. History. Yesterday's news.
.
According to Palin, it's O.K. for me to target her in print and on the airwaves and I won't be to blame if someone were to shoot her...
... FYI - SHE IS CERTIFIABLY NUTS TO ADVOCATE VIOLENCE, EVEN IF IT'S BACK AT HER!

If you're mining for the "imagined insults" Sister Sarah is talking about, you should probably example something from Sister Sarah's quotable quotes rather than Brother Rush's. It shouldn't be too hard. F'rinstance, remember the time when Sister Sarah said her ideological opponents "embrace evil and call it good"?
If it wasn't already obvious, Palin's response proves she is too mean spirited and insane to ever become POTUS. IMO, this woman is a malignant narcissist.
HOPEFULLY, her target graphic on her website (oh, my bad... those were just "surveyors's marks") and her lame-ass posturing following the Tucson tragedy totally destroys her chance of ever being elected to anything.
There are many others, of course.
But she's definitely clinically messed up. A real candidate for the psychiatrist's couch.
Her aide's outlandish claim that those gun crosshairs on her website were really surveying marks is directly refuted by Moosegirl's own exclamation of "bull's eye!" when some of the Dem representatives went down to defeat in November.
Crooks and liars, indeed.

Thanks Sarah Palin for showing everybody who you really are once again. Dip shit idiot.
Sarah has out-punked Ginni Thomas! Not only is she the Jewish victim (who uses the blood of Christian babies to keep her skin beautiful and her body virile) [aka "blood libel" Sarah!!], but she has just ended any potential as a presidential candidate in 2012. Thank you Sarah Palin!

I'd have thought they'd be all over this flagrant encroachment on their turf.
in a sociopath's mind, they are the only victim.
Palin will never run for president and seriously want the position.she might pretend to run so she can get some of that PAC cash, but, she will never give up her carreer as a professional victim.she has made multimillions pimping her family and herself in a way the would embarrass any living being with an ounce of integrity. Palin fans will flood her cash box with donations. Right wingers will raise her higher on the pedistal of appearance over substance.
I don't know about that. I think she has such an ego, such a high opinion of herself and that she is right (because God told her so), that she will run for POTUS. She'll play that victim card all the while, as she is running.
Could this be what she meant to say?

"The term 'blood libel' is not a synonym for 'false accusation,' " said Simon Greer, president of Jewish Funds for Justice. "It refers to a specific falsehood perpetuated by Christians about Jews for centuries, a falsehood that motivated a good deal of anti-Jewish violence and discrimination. Unless someone has been accusing Ms. Palin of killing Christian babies and making matzoh from their blood, her use of the term is totally out of line."
Is it hard-wired? I can accept that Sarah is narcissistic. It's amazing that that she is also perpetually inflammatory.

That said bloodlibel was typical Sarah. She is the word salad queen. She speaks emotions and applies words to them as she goes along. I'm sure she was thinking about both of these things as she was making the word salad.
She needs to be on some reality tv show if she wants to be a star and an example for all the wingnuts. She's qualified to be a drama queen. She's not qualified for higher public life.

This is what she thinks is appropriate compassion for the murdered, suffering and their families?
This is her public statement disavowing violence, hatred, and intolerance?
These are her words of comfort for the suffering and healing for the nation?
This is her moment of rebirth by realizing that words of violence can feed violence of forswearing the use of such words, as a moral, spiritual lesson learned?
Of course not we are talking about Sarah Palin.
The lesson she has learned is the importance of protecting her hate speech, and Tuff S to all of us that we don't recognize that She can say anything she damned well pleases and the repercussions are not her responsibility.
In her reality, It is right and just that others should suffer and die so that she can continue to call down the violence that causes their suffering and death.
Oh, by the way Sarah, about that Right to Life thing you say you believe in? The Constitution specifically applies it to the living, the already born.
So when your freedom to call down hate and violence conflicts with other people's right to remain alive, which right do you think should prevail?
Especially, if you happened to be the parents of a 9 year old child.
This is not Sarah’s Road to Damascus moment.
This speech is her Abraham and Isaac moment.
Only Sarah is not willing spare the life of the sacrificial child, as long as it is not her own. She is more than willing to allow have the child to be laid on the alter for her sake, and slain.
it is her Waterloo.
Could be, M'kay.

to actually appear to be a human being, instead of a calculating, sociopath. I endured the whole 8 minutes of her 'reading' - that took strength - and, so help me, this woman evidenced not one shred of compassion for the real victims in Tucson.
She said that she's spent the last few days "praying for guidance," but, based on this performance, it appears gawd has abandoned her. She used the words 'respectfully' and 'responsibility' several times, but her response indicates she has no clue what those words actually mean in the context of her normal behavior.
Miss Sarah called the shooting and killing of innocent people only the act of a "single, evil man." After really watching her speak all of the words that were written for her, I can only conclude that she really is an 'evil woman.'
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
Sarah Palin keeps using words like "respect" and "responsibility".
To which Inigo Montaya would reply, "Joo keep on'ah using those werds. I do-nah think they mean whaht joo think they mean".
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
...if there is a God, Palin's wasting her time praying for "guidance" because she's clearly the sort of person who only wants to hear what she wants to hear and believes that God should adjust his plans to her wishes rather than vice versa. She reminds me of the man in the old joke about the flood, the man who assures his would-be rescuers that "God will save me" -- and when he eventually drowns and angrily asks God why he was allowed to die, God informs him that he actually allowed himself to die because he refused to see the ways in which God was trying to save him by sending people who tried to rescue him.

Sarah Palin is Queen of the Cluster B personality disorders. She has no real sense of self, or where it begins and ends in relation to others. She has no real sense of others, or empathy for them.
She has only the sense of a world that revolves around her. A sense of entitlement to everything: riches, glory, attention, power, etc.
Typically, these people are so sick, it's difficult to get through to them at all.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?

Nonetheless, we have so many of these people in our midst, it's straining our country to the breaking point.
The Cluster B personality disorder is a very dangerous person. Whether anti-social, narcissistic, histrionic or borderline, these people cause havoc and dismay in the lives of those around them. They're not all Hannibal Lecter, but they're still dangerous to be around.
And our culture LOVES them. We've made a virtue out of pathological selfishness. It's what you need to win a Reality TV game show, general limelight, and most tragically, elections.

i empathize with her suffering, but i do not sympathize one bit. i myself am attempting to crawl out of the hole of npd and the ptsd, i know who messed me up, when, how, the why escapes me but doesn't matter. the sad truth is that once you get hammered, no matter who did it to you, it is your responsibility to fix it, no one else can do it for you. yeah, the world is not fair, whatcha gonna do?

Really? Sarah Pal-in-Comparison-To-Anyone wrote this?:
No, Queen Sarah's too stupid to string words together like that. One of her handlers wrote this, and she's too stupid to even know what it means. She also doesn't care. As long as it gets attention on her, that's what Madame Cluster B needs. If she's the victim, if she gets sympathy, if she gets attention, mission accomplished.
Her handlers could have written, "The conniving Nazi armada bubbling within the Democrat Party's brew has finally boiled over, and it is we the American people who will suffer, as this tragedy eminently demonstrates. The real message of this shooting is from the Democrats, and it's 'Watch Out, Americans!'" She'd have happily said that too to get attention. And the professional blather heads on TV would parse it for insight.
America is deranged. Its so called conservatives, the people of the so called heartland, have had their minds raped by the relentless propaganda that is the modern media. And as Progressives, we've largely been too stunned and confused to know what to do about it. As karoli was trying to say earlier, we need to focus on our mental and moral health as a nation, not babble about which political side is to blame for this tragedy.
It could be a wake up call, if we're willing to take a long hard look at ourselves in the mirror. This is precisely what personalities like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are unable to do.

Sarah's Not
Thatin the least Eloquent. FIFYfar left loon >.<
Sarah Palin is an idiot, and likely doesn't even realize there's a racial connotation to *blood libel.*
Given that many leaders of the neo-con movement are Jews - Kristol, Krauthammer, etc. - the idea that the RW is anti-semitic is totally ridiculous.
You see the word Jew or Jewish in the article and claim that there's a portrait by this site of antisemitism going on w/ whoever you think they're accusing? Details please. Diagram that path from this article to your conclusion...
BTW, how do you know the extent of Palin's knowledge about Judaism? She went to many colleges you know.
me-oww!
They quoted Howard Kurtz, who said....
"Blood libel, for those who are not familiar, describes a false accusation that minorities—usually Jews—murder children to use their blood in religious rituals, and has been a historical theme in the persecution of the Jewish people.
Had Palin scoured a thesaurus, she could not have come up with a more inflammatory phrase."
There's clearly an insinuation there that Palin's comment was anti-semitic.
In case you hadn't noticed, many of the articles at this site try to make the case that Beck and other RWers are anti-semitic. This is clearly a ridiculous assertion, as all of the neo-cons are rabidly pro-Israel, and in fact many of them are Jewish themselves. These sorts of phony racist narratives make it clear that some people (read: elitist liberals) want the political division in this country to be more about whites vs. minorities rather than wealthy vs. poor.
That many right-wingers are pro-Israel does not necessarily mean that they are not anti-Semitic. There are rabid Jew-haters who support the state of Israel, just for their own warped reasons, typically because Biblical prophesy entails getting all the Jewish tribes into this little portion of the Earth so that Jesus can return.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Of course one can be an anti-semite and a supporter of Israel. Before the final solution, the Nazis supported the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine with Eichmann negotiating for the transport of Jews.
There's clearly an insinuation there that Palin's comment was anti-semitic.
The point is she's CLUELESS.
far left loon >.<
...you're imagining that something is there.
It's not that Palin is being anti-semitic, it's that she's greatly- and insensitively- conflating her current troubles with those of the Jews who were libeled with accusations of drinking the blood of Christian babies, libeled in order to foment pogroms.
As someone at another site put it so eloquently, it's as if Palin burned her fingers getting a Pop Tart from the toaster and claimed she'd been through the Holocaust.
Funny about all of this push-back from the Palin camp: SarahPAC wiped their site of their "targets" graphic almost immediately upon getting news of the assassination attempt. Looks like she's got kapos in her own camp. /snark

Whether she realizes it or not, whether it is intentional or not, whether she wrote it or has the least bit of understanding of what she said, she still invoked a phrase with anti-Semitic connotation. She still responded to accusations of violent rhetoric … with violent rhetoric.
It doesn't matter that she's too stupid to know what she's saying. She's too stupid to think of any of those words, much less string them together into a coherent statement like that.

I wonder. I’m not as quick as you to convey upon her handlers that much forethought. They may just be stumbling onto propaganda they think might work.
You could be right, of course, and my observations are but from afar. I have not actually studied the people around her or even come close to meeting them.
But given Palin's Pentecostal religious affiliations, her manipulative and easily manipulable personality, and the frightening aims of the leaders within the Republican's Theocratic wing, it seems highly plausible to me that Palin is the perfect person to spread this vile message for them.

a moron who doesn't choose her words carefully and has chosen a phrase to describe what she thinks is being done to her which happens to describe a practice of anti-semites. Geez.

Well, it's obvious, at least to me, that she did not choose that phrase, but it was chosen for her; whether or not her speechwriter/teleprompter-programmer is anti-semitic or just as clueless as his/her boss. Not the most common phrase in political discourse, and Ms. Palin is not the sort who would research the meaning of anything that spews from her mouth.

if it were explained to her.
If she had said f@g or ni##er would you say, well, there are blacks and gays in the Republican party so she can't be a bigot?
I agree with you - she just doesn't have a friggin' clue. But until SHE explains it, I take it at face value. And I can't wait to see how she ess-plains 'dis one.
I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
Neo-conservatives are essentially neo-imperialists. They have a Conquistador's vision of America's destiny. To that extent, they're a religiously diverse lot, but one weirdly populated by anti-semites who will happily work with Jewish people.
Crazy Christians are involved in this movement, since world wide violence stemming from troubles in the Middle East are part and parcel of their fantasies of Armageddon and Jesus' return. They work side by side with Jews to maintain the state of Israel, but for completely different reasons. Devout Jewish people believe Israel was granted to them and only them by an omniscient real estate broker. Crazy Christians think that that deity really just wants to gather the heathens into one place so Jesus can come back, and toss all those heathens into a lake of fire who don't thereupon immediately convert to Christianity.
You're right that Sarah Palin is too stupid to know what she's saying. She's also too stupid to know that she's being used by people who do know what they're saying.

Jesus would come back. And get these stupids the hell out of our faces.
She's stupid, but smart enough to allow herself to be used. She loves the attention. She's in it for the dollars. After she makes her first ten million, she'll slowly fade away, back to Wasilla.
She, or her trainers, should have tried some.
And if Jews are so prevalent in the RW universe, why didn't SP have one (apparently) on staff?

I mean, it is not like reactionary types are known for their self hate and stuff, at all....

In other words, Dear America, stop listening to people like me.
Her irony deficiency is making my head throb. I fear it might explode.

Poll: Conservatives not to blame for Ariz. shooting
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2011-...
And of those 53 percent, 30 percent would follow Palin off a cliff.
In the poll, the public is precisely evenly divided on whether the heated language generally used in politics today was a factor in the shooting: 42% say yes, 42% say no. Another 15% have no opinion.
Quoted from the article.
That poll is nothing more than a Collegiate Pre-season football ranking.
... the media is already pushing a narrative which is exonerating the right from this tragedy. And that is what will be accepted as "fact" by the majority of people.

Doesn't Todd still operate the puppet strings of Sarah Palin? We also know that Beck sent an email and no doubt filled her head with propaganda.

This idiot has never ever had any reason to learn from her mistakes, and why should she? Every time she fucks up, she gets rewarded with a promotion. Talk about bad reinforcement.

Why is that Republicans like Palin -- who are so fond of lecturing other people at every conceivable opportunity about the virtue and importance of "taking personal responsibility" -- are every bit as quick and every bit as eager to pass the buck and vehemently (not to mention hypocritically) protest their innocence whenever their own backsides are on the proverbial hotseat? If Palin thinks it's so important for people to face the consequences of their own choices in the shape of their words and actions, then why is she so determined to excuse and absolve herself of any responsibility for her willingness and her bad judgment with regard to using image of a freaking gunsight as a symbol for her desire to see Giffords defeated in the election???
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
