Well, the nitwit finally said something about the Tucson shootings.
Honestly, she shouldn’t have bothered.
Six people are dead. Another fourteen wounded.
But she’s the victim.
Read/watch it here if you feel you must.
No apology. No hint of even remotely tangential responsibility for throwing targets on people’s backs. No sign she’ll stop using threats of violence as a political tactic.
No class.
And in a nice bit of anti-Semitism, she used the term “blood libel” to describe how she thinks liberals are blaming her words and images for creating this culture of hate, fear, and death that, well, she has added to.
A quick search shows that:
Blood libel (also blood accusation) refers to a false accusation or claim that religious minorities, almost always Jews, murder children to use their blood in certain aspects of their religious rituals and holidays. Historically, these claims have-alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration-been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is, of course, Jewish.
Nice touch there Palin!
