Here is a link an article from the Wall St. Journal about the term and the current events:
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach: Sarah Palin Is Right About 'Blood Libel' - WSJ.com
Quote:
How unfortunate that some have chosen to compound a national tragedy by politicizing the murder of six innocent lives and the attempted assassination of a congresswoman.
To be sure, America should embrace civil political discourse for its own sake, and no political faction should engage in demonizing rhetoric. But promoting this high principle by simultaneously violating it and engaging in a blood libel against innocent parties is both irresponsible and immoral.

I share the same viewpoint as the author of this article.
