Sister Palin doesn't know what Blood Libel is..
Wow!!! I'm so tired of her mouth open... blah blah blah blah since 2008...

she said on Fox's Sean Hannity show that the term referred to those "falsely accused of having blood on their hands."
"Blood libel obviously means being falsely accused of having blood on your hands. In this case, that's exactly what was going on," she said, adding later, "Just two days before an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal had that term in its title. And that term has been used for eons."
The phrase, which traditionally refers to a long-standing anti-Semitic myth that Jews murder children for religious rituals, drew fire from the Anti-Defamation League and others. But Palin insisted critics were taking issue with the phrasing in hopes of derailing her overall message.
"It isn't about me personally, but it is about the message," she said. "I know that a lot on the left hate my message, and they will do all that they can to stop me because they don't like the message. They’ll do what they can to destroy the message and the messenger."
Meanwhile, when asked about speculation the recent controversies have disrupted any future political ambitions, Palin vowed she will continue to speak her mind.
"I am not ready to make an announcement about what my political future is going to be. But I will tell you ... I am not going to sit down. I am not going to shut up,"she said.

1. Excuse me, but, horse shit!

she knows exactly what whistles she's blowing and which dogs are hearing it.

Horse shit!

Of course, horse shit is far more useful.

edit: I just realized that could have sounded like I meant it toward the OP. This was specifically at st. sarah of the whistles hiding in word salad.

2. The biggest problem is that
Those who insist on constantly speaking their mind haven't got one to speak.......and should, therefore, become the strong, silent type.

3. It is the stupidest of ideas.
Edited on Tue Jan-18-11 02:09 AM by RandomThoughts
The Jewish faith speaks about Abraham, and him specifically being told not to sacrifice children.

When most civilizations were being told to do that. Why where they told that? Because love of children is some of the strongest feelings, and that can break empathy, and be used for much guilt later also. So the people sacrifices in many cultures to many idols, were not because some supernatural thing needed it, but to hurt the people that would do that, to make them numb without feeling.

But saying a Jewish person would do that is wrong.
