i just thought it mind-bending in its stupidity.
here's a blurb about the blood libel:
Blood libel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
what is she saying by invoking it? first she likens american neo-fascism to judiasm, and so displaces this from a political to a religious matter (which is might as well be judging by the way the wagons are rallied around the defense of the identity...)
the implication is that the right is being victimized by a force like anti-semitism across this tragedy in tucson.
and that any linkage between the neo-fascist predelection for the rhetoric of gun violence and anything that they do not find advantageous to acknowledge as an outcome is like blood libel.
it's amazingly stupid, even by the low standards to which one typically holds sarah palin. |
Try to be objective for a moment...can you not see the irony in the liberal vitriol against conservative talk radio and Palin...o.k., now go back. Understand that no conservative like Palin, Beck or Limbaugh are considering themselves victims of anything. Nor will they "tone it down" or change what they do or how they do it.

We have had other discussions about Limbaugh, all I suggest is that perhaps spending a week or two of regularly listening to his show.

Are you saying he didn't really mean what he said about the Democratic party?

Limbaugh was using the logical argument used against conservative talk to come to a conclusion reasonable people would find incredible in order to shame his critics. I thought it was pretty crafty and somewhat humorous. Why not just find his shows from Monday - Wednesday and listen to those if you are really concerned about what he said and what he meant.
