You do realize that rep Giffords is a Jew? You do realize that Palin used the term "blood libel" in her counter speech? You do realize the importance of the term "blood libel" to Jews? They were accused by Christians of using human blood in their worship services.
Christian faiths, at least many of them blame the Jews for the death of Christ. The term is "blood libel."
Like I said...she's either very ignorant or very bigoted against Jews.
I did not look at it as offensive but I'm not Jewish so my personal experiences would be different than someone Jewish or really, anyone else for that matter. I still do not understand how

LMAO!!
Fox News. Isn't that the same network where Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck reside? Not to mention the rest of the Rupert Murdoch puppets.
Didn't read the article, huh? It actually presented both sides of the argument and that's why I selected that particular one.
Fair and Balanced Huh?
I watch Fox News at least as much as I watch CNN and MSNBC combined. The reason...I want to be sure I can justify(in my mind) the fact that it is still the most biased and partial news network in the history of TV.

Again, this particular article appeared to present both sides and nothing you have said thus far gives the perception you actually read the article. Nonetheless, does Alan Dershowitz serve as a better source for you?
His own words:

The term “blood libel” has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term

You are truly a fool.....No evidence but yet you keep on keeping on.
Einstein said the defintion of insanity was "to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result"...Well you liberals have that down pat.
You people are sick..I do feel bad for you,really.
Throw the s**t against the wall and see if it sticks...

I'll ignore the fact that you called me a fool.
Will Rogers said, "We're All Ignorant...Just About Different Things." You right wingers are ignorant about taxes and politics.
The biggest "s it slingers" in the world are Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. I'm 76 years old and I never thought I would live to see such bare faced liars. O'Reilly is the best they've got at Fox and he leaves a lot to be desired. Do you think I was the only one who noticed the "blood libel" thing?
