That means precisely nothing Isaac Send a noteboard - 17/01/2011 03:59:07 PM
Seriously, why don't you take a little time to go through your arguments and find the massive gaping logic holes, you might find it a rewarding experience. Also, why do you keep insisting Palin accused Giffords of Blood Libel? She obviously did not. You also have some really weird ideas about what Giffords reporting a threat prior to that means, you do understand that that is very common, don't you? Where are you getting this bizarre notion that Giffords alerting authorities she'd been vandalized justifies media hacks engaging in defamation?

You sound like a murder mystery fan at a crime scene "I found a knife with blood on it on the kitchen counter! Her neighbor's prints are on the doorknob! He owns knives! Case closed! Wait, what? Oh I guess it wouldn't make sense for the murderer to pull the knife out and leave it on the kitchen counter. No I didn't realize the back door was broken or that she died of bludgeoning wounds and a paper weight covered with blood was found a few feet away and rolled under her desk. Or that her neighbor is an 85 year old woman with a spare key who was at her daughter's house with her grandchildren and her ex-boyfriend was just picked up drunk and covered with blood with no visible wounds... a clever plot indeed. The old lady must have drugged him"

OK, I'm Officially Sick of the "Blood Libel" BS. - 16/01/2011 12:18:22 PM 2109 Views
Why are they calling it "blood libel"? - 16/01/2011 12:23:47 PM 959 Views
Because if the facts were as they represent them those words would be applicable. - 16/01/2011 12:49:22 PM 1137 Views
It's not entirely clear to me whether you're aware of this or not, but... - 16/01/2011 01:12:22 PM 1182 Views
That's why I said, "popularized". - 16/01/2011 01:46:52 PM 1129 Views
I think Alan Dershowitz dealt with this nonsense already - 16/01/2011 02:34:10 PM 1495 Views
Interesting. I didn't realize it was so wide-spread. - 16/01/2011 03:10:28 PM 1037 Views
She wasn't even the first to use the term that week either - 16/01/2011 10:10:35 PM 1064 Views
I don't know that "expert" has anything to do with it. - 16/01/2011 10:18:54 PM 1056 Views

Oh please don't you start to - 17/01/2011 02:34:43 PM 912 Views
I for one hadn't noticed it before. - 17/01/2011 10:25:57 PM 1095 Views
it was used here and nobody commented - 17/01/2011 10:37:07 PM 974 Views
LOL, I totally forgot that got posted here - 17/01/2011 10:54:26 PM 1022 Views
It's funny you should say that... - 18/01/2011 10:32:59 PM 1062 Views
Re: It's funny you should say that... - 19/01/2011 03:29:52 PM 1043 Views
It was permissible to ignore until it became a rallying cry. - 20/01/2011 04:27:23 PM 1085 Views
A rallying cry is hardly illegal - 20/01/2011 05:32:45 PM 1128 Views
I never said it was. - 20/01/2011 06:59:39 PM 1225 Views
Oh, I noticed that one alright. - 18/01/2011 10:25:23 PM 904 Views
compared to the way similar terms are used? - 19/01/2011 06:58:02 PM 1046 Views
I meant I hadn't seen it used in different contexts before. - 19/01/2011 07:35:00 PM 1023 Views

Again, Giffords specifically made the connection between Palins imagery and an attack on her. - 17/01/2011 12:53:08 AM 1290 Views
That means precisely nothing - 17/01/2011 03:59:07 PM 991 Views
It means everything. - 18/01/2011 08:34:55 PM 1236 Views
I'm trying to understand your logic - 19/01/2011 12:50:28 AM 844 Views
There are two points: - 19/01/2011 02:47:48 AM 1051 Views
Re: It means everything. - 19/01/2011 05:55:02 PM 875 Views
That's simply illogical. - 20/01/2011 01:08:51 AM 1260 Views
the old step one steal underwear step three profit argument - 19/01/2011 06:01:14 PM 1136 Views
that is some twisted and bizarre logic - 17/01/2011 02:38:41 PM 1082 Views
So I am a little confused on something... - 16/01/2011 02:38:59 PM 1125 Views
Palin putting Giffords district in the crosshairs and Giffords implying at the time she feared this - 16/01/2011 11:21:36 PM 1263 Views

No, they don't - 18/01/2011 10:19:34 PM 1093 Views
Really? Cannoli says differently, and I believe he's right on that one. - 18/01/2011 10:50:51 PM 1169 Views
You seem to be reading what you want to from what I said - 19/01/2011 01:27:32 PM 1027 Views
I read what you said & understood it as you restate here, hence I referenced local police (twice) - 20/01/2011 02:15:17 AM 1059 Views
The problem here is your ignoring normal policing powers to concoct an absurdity - 20/01/2011 04:20:25 PM 1126 Views
More absurd than the notion such incitement warrants no notice? - 20/01/2011 05:42:47 PM 1141 Views
Your shifting your original premise, *again* - 20/01/2011 08:24:18 PM 988 Views
No, you're simply missing the point of it. - 20/01/2011 11:09:57 PM 1007 Views
There is no point - 21/01/2011 12:22:30 AM 1035 Views
If I had no point I wouldn't bother, but fair enough. - 21/01/2011 01:20:32 AM 1287 Views
Uh...Last I checked conservatives didn't list the Communist Manifesto as a favourite book. - 16/01/2011 03:05:07 PM 1305 Views
You're awesome at missing points, aren't you? - 16/01/2011 07:26:30 PM 1043 Views
where is the accountability for those committing slander? - 17/01/2011 02:52:40 PM 972 Views
Libs hate Mein Kampf and We the Living; conservatives hate the Communist Manifesto: He's neither. - 16/01/2011 10:06:02 PM 991 Views
conseartives hate Mein Kampf and liberals stil read the Communist Manifesto - 17/01/2011 02:57:22 PM 985 Views
That first line is says it all. - 18/01/2011 09:34:06 PM 1070 Views

Yeah, your first was better - 16/01/2011 09:48:58 PM 925 Views
Palin didn't really have anything to do with this, but it makes sense she's blamed. - 16/01/2011 10:19:51 PM 1009 Views
Pretty much. - 16/01/2011 11:44:35 PM 1067 Views
Did they ever catch the person(s) that vandalized Gifford's office? *NM* - 17/01/2011 03:30:36 AM 490 Views
politcal offices are vandalized on a regular basis *NM* - 17/01/2011 02:41:29 PM 459 Views
She only asked if they caught the guy, she didn't accuse anyone, Sarah. - 18/01/2011 11:27:18 PM 957 Views

How 'bout simply color coding them? - 18/01/2011 11:21:03 PM 959 Views
Why not just blame Giffords? - 17/01/2011 06:07:14 PM 1253 Views
Indeed, why not; Sarah Palin does. - 18/01/2011 06:58:01 PM 1087 Views
The irony of this thread is not lost on me. - 19/01/2011 04:09:01 PM 1099 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 19/01/2011 04:51:40 PM 543 Views
