Palin Speaks Out, Says Nothing

The Killa from Wasilla was on the Slanthead Hannity show (yeah, there's a real hard-hitting "journalist" for you) trying to defend her use of the emotionally-freighted politically-loaded phrase "Blood Libel".

Here's what she said:

Speaking out for the first time since she used the term in a video, Palin said on Fox's SeanHannity show that the term referred to those "falsely accused of having blood on their hands."Some Jewish groups strongly protested her use of the term, which historically was used to accuse Jews of using blood of Christians in religious rituals."I think the critics again were using anything that they could gather out of that statement," she said. "You can spin up anything out of anybody's statements that are released and use them against the person who is making the statement."Palin, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2012, said the criticism won't stop her from speaking out and accusing Democrats of taking the country in the wrong direction."They can't make us sit down and shut up," she said.

Oh brother. Yeah, Caribou Barbie, your sacrifices were right up with the deaths of six million Jews in WWII, with hundreds of thousand of Jews who were physically tortured, forcibly converted to Catholicism, and then wantonly murdered.

Oh, the humanity...

Now it's "Blood Libel"? Really?

Half-governor Palin finally broke squelch today by claiming that the "liberal media" attack on her gun scope graphics over Gabby Giffords district, her "don't retreat, reload" sound bites, her continual violent verbal imagery, her battering use of violence metaphors, is nothing short of "blood libel".

"Blood Libel"... That's code, in case you didn't know, for "Hey, I'm the victim here".

Here's what Wikipedia says about "Blood Libel":

Blood libel ... refers to a false accusation or claim that religious minorities, almost always Jews, murder children to use their blood in certain aspects of their religious rituals and holidays.Historically, these claims have–alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration–been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.
The libels typically allege that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover. The accusations often assert that the blood of Christian children is especially coveted, and historically blood libel claims have often been made to account for otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the alleged victim of human sacrifice has become venerated as a martyr, a holy figure around whom a martyr cult might arise. A few of these have been even canonized as saints.

Okay, so what the hell is Sarah Palin doing going around trying to claim that she's the martyr? It's especially pathetic when you remember that Rep. Giffords is, herself, Jewish.

Jesus, does this woman's stupidity, her irresponsibility, her arrogance know absolutely no boundaries?
