I don't care for Palin much either, but...
...this fanatical hatred of her that we're seeing in some circles is not helpful. Trying to twist her every utterance against her betrays a mean-spirited and self-serving agenda, and I don't think it's winning the left any points. Quite the opposite, in fact.
When I first heard of her use of the term "blood libel," I thought it was maybe a bit much, but over the past few days I've become convinced that she was actually right on the money.
