Palin gets heat for using anti-semitic term
Of all the terms Palin could have used, from "defamation" to even "implicating me in murder," why did Palin choose "blood libel"? As the conservative National Review's Jonah Goldberg, who says he "agree[s] entirely with…Palin's, larger point," notes, "Historically, the term is almost invariably used to describe anti-Semitic myths about how Jews use blood — usually from children — in their ritual." Indeed, many Jews consider the term extremely offensive, and the Anti-Defamation League and other prominent Jewish organizations have spoken out against its use dozens of occasions in the past.
Much more here.
In Palin's defense, she's likely to stupid to have known the history of the term she used.
This woman needs to just shut up for a few weeks. She's a nonstop moronathon.
