Before evil guns were invented (most likely by the Devil), the world was such a peaceful place. There were no massacres, no assassinations, none of that stuff....... Oh wait........
Never mind.

Now that's just funny. I do so appreciate witty sarcasm.

Default Pro-Israel Groups React to Palin's use of 'Blood Libel"

Could she have chosen a more inappropriate phrase?

"Sarah Palin did not shoot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Only the perpetrator can be found guilty for this act of terrorism. But it is worth pointing out that it was Rep. Giffords herself who first objected to Ms. Palin's map showing her district in the crosshairs. "We're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is, the way she has it depicted, it has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that they have to realize that there are consequences to that action." According to Ms. Palin's logic, Rep. Giffords statement was a blood libel against the Fox News host. The fact that Rep. Giffords is Jewish and Ms. Palin is Christian makes the accusation even more grotesque.

Ms. Palin clearly took some time to reflect before putting out her statement today. Despite that time, her primary conclusion was that she is the victim and Rep. Giffords is the perpetrator.

Or as Josh Marshall noted:

"Today has been set aside to honor the victims of the Tucson massacre. And Sarah Palin has apparently decided she's one of them,"
