Does Palin know the meaning of "blood libel"? Does she know GIffords is Jewish?

[onenote]

Does she have a clue how offensive her labelling criticism of extremist speech as a blood libel in the context of an attempt on the life of Jewish member of Congress is?

All rhetorical questions, of course. She is as clueless as the day is long.

1. Short answer: she didn't write the fatwa and probably doesn't know what blood libel is.

[hedgehog]

2. She heard the phrase somewhere and thought it sounded intellectual.

[SharonAnn]

14. She might. It could be one of those "dog whistles" that all the insiders understand.

[Ptah]

17. +1

intellectual and worldly

[golddigger]

3. You really don't think she wrote this do you?

[CTyankee]

4. I'm sure she didn't write this. But she sure as hell hired an ignorant speechwriter.

But stupid is as stupid does. Not surprising that something this godawful would come from her and her minions...

[DarthDem]

5. I'm Newly Stunned

The breadth of her stupidity is astonishing.

However, can the Democrats (and, for that matter, good people of any political persuasion who understand how dangerous this cretin is) get that message out?

[DURHAM D]

6. Yes and Yes

Has the msm picked up on this yet?

7. admission:

i don't know the meaning of "blood libel" - but before i use it in conversation, i will educamate myself as to its meaning.

[Bluenorthwest]

8. Yes, she does and so does the writer she selected to craft this

doubling down statement of hers. It is an unusual term, a term with a unique and well known historical meaning.

[barbtries]

9. ok i looked it up

and she could not possibly know what it means and use it in this context. this is another example of palin playing the victim when she's the actual perp. she is incredibly hateful. day by day i am more tempted to friend her on facebook just to tell her off. get a screen shot before my comments are scrubbed.

what a hateful person she is.

[demokatgurrl]

10. I have no doubt that she knows- she is despicable. nt

[vaberella]

11. She's a jerk. End of story. n/t

[Raine1967]

12. *IF* she doesn't know she not worthy of being a leader. AND

if she does know the same things applies.

This is reprehensible. Her goose is cooked. ANYONE who supports her at this point should be ashamed.
I truly never thought she could sink to these depths, but she did.

[tallahasseedem]

13. She doesn't know...

shit. This woman is a menace to society.

[stubtoe]

15. It's fun watching her dig the hole deeper and deeper.

She's toast, she just doesn't realize it yet.

[Clio the Leo]

16. She said it on purpose...

... trying to garner more favor with conservative Jews and conservative supporters of Israel.
