Ace, just stop. You know Sarah Palin is an unintelligent woman. It's impossible for you not to know it. All of the dissonance in the world can't hide her consistently unintelligent statements. She's just said another stupid thing in a long line of stupid things. She's stupid. It's only a reflection on you because you're one of her inexplicable supporters. If you could peel yourself away from the dissonance for a second, you'd come to the conclusion that because she's so unintelligent, she isn't deserving of your admiration on issues which require intellect.
I invite you to suspend dissonance for a moment. Think about all the things she's said in the past, how Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, death panels, her inability to name a single newspaper or magazine, her wanting to stand with our North Korean allies, admitting that she and her family used to cross the border into Canada for better healthcare while bemoaning 'Obamacare', blaming the Gulf Oil spill on environmentalists, notes written on her hand during a convention speech, calling out Rahm Emanuel for using 'retarded', but not Limbaugh... the list is nearly endless in her two and a half years on the public stage. She's a stupid woman, Ace. Blood libel is just another in a long, long line of very stupid statements.
Even if your reading of Dershowitz is correct, and it's not, that doesn't make Sarah Palin intelligent and it doesn't make her usage correct. If Dershowitz is saying that Palin used the term correctly, then he's wrong. Blood libel doesn't mean "you aren't allowed to criticize me", which is exactly how Sarah Palin used it. It never has and likely never will.
