Re: OK, I'm Officially Sick of the "Blood Libel" BS. dart_board Send a noteboard - 22/01/2011 05:49:44 PM

and I really don't think the connection with Palin is more than eerie coincidence.


Sorry Joel. I call BS.
The ONLY connection between the guy who did this and Palin is the the sorry, dirty, low down crap the liberals have heaped upon the imaginations of the cool aid guzzlers. It IS in fact libel on a grand scale and in this case it comes with blood dripping off the words of their lies.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. ~George S. Patton

Why are they calling it "blood libel"? Camilla - 16/01/2011 12:23:47 PM 1093 Views
Because if the facts were as they represent them those words would be applicable. Joel - 16/01/2011 12:49:22 PM 1257 Views
It's not entirely clear to me whether you're aware of this or not, but... Legolas - 16/01/2011 01:12:22 PM 1295 Views
That's why I said, "popularized". Joel - 16/01/2011 01:46:52 PM 1274 Views
I think Alan Dershowitz dealt with this nonsense already Isaac - 16/01/2011 02:34:10 PM 1646 Views

it was used here and nobody commented random thoughts - 17/01/2011 10:37:07 PM 1111 Views
LOL, I totally forgot that got posted here Isaac - 17/01/2011 10:54:26 PM 1140 Views
It's funny you should say that... Legolas - 18/01/2011 10:32:59 PM 1181 Views
Precisely: I noticed, but it hadn't become a rallying cry for "the real victim" (Palin). Joel - 19/01/2011 12:14:48 AM 1323 Views
I thought you were the real vicitim random thoughts - 19/01/2011 02:49:06 PM 1281 Views
When and where did I say that? The ultimate victim is America, but six members of it just died. Joel - 19/01/2011 11:24:27 PM 998 Views
Re: It's funny you should say that... Isaac - 19/01/2011 03:29:52 PM 1164 Views
It was permissible to ignore until it became a rallying cry. Joel - 20/01/2011 04:27:23 PM 1197 Views
A rallying cry is hardly illegal Isaac - 20/01/2011 05:32:45 PM 1265 Views
I never said it was. Joel - 20/01/2011 06:59:39 PM 1351 Views
Oh, I noticed that one alright. Legolas - 18/01/2011 10:25:23 PM 1023 Views
but is he accussed of being a tasteless moron who doesn't know what it means? random thoughts - 19/01/2011 02:28:03 PM 1070 Views
I don't know, if I have to judge him based on that one article, then tasteless moron, absolutely. Legolas - 19/01/2011 06:14:43 PM 1183 Views
compared to the way similar terms are used? random thoughts - 19/01/2011 06:58:02 PM 1186 Views
I meant I hadn't seen it used in different contexts before. Legolas - 19/01/2011 07:35:00 PM 1142 Views
The peole who called her stupid for using the term didn't know it was so wide spread either random thoughts - 17/01/2011 02:33:19 PM 1052 Views

Again, Giffords specifically made the connection between Palins imagery and an attack on her. Joel - 17/01/2011 12:53:08 AM 1417 Views
That means precisely nothing Isaac - 17/01/2011 03:59:07 PM 1114 Views
It means everything. Joel - 18/01/2011 08:34:55 PM 1360 Views
I'm trying to understand your logic Chas - 19/01/2011 12:50:28 AM 960 Views
There are two points: Joel - 19/01/2011 02:47:48 AM 1183 Views
I don't agree, but I understand. *NM* Chas - 19/01/2011 10:14:13 PM 547 Views
Giffords' statements and Palins are matters of public record; they're indisputable. Joel - 19/01/2011 11:34:53 PM 1161 Views
I must say, if more people on both sides could say that we'd all be better for it. Joel - 20/01/2011 04:32:55 AM 1185 Views
Re: It means everything. Isaac - 19/01/2011 05:55:02 PM 995 Views

I admit I can't follow gnome logic *NM* random thoughts - 20/01/2011 05:50:22 AM 543 Views
I demonstrated the connection, whether or not you choose to look the other way. Joel - 20/01/2011 03:16:28 PM 1141 Views
that is some twisted and bizarre logic random thoughts - 17/01/2011 02:38:41 PM 1203 Views
Giffords said Palins crosshairs imagery would have "consequences"; Palin calls the suggestion libel. Joel - 18/01/2011 08:54:45 PM 1080 Views
yes but the only consequences is liberals using them to slander Palin random thoughts - 19/01/2011 02:58:35 PM 1183 Views
I read Toms reply; I don't think he exactly vindicated your position, nor meant to do so. Joel - 20/01/2011 01:52:37 AM 1496 Views
It was an example of blaming the victim, a phrase you keep misusing random thoughts - 20/01/2011 06:28:21 PM 1133 Views
I thought you said only liberals blinded by political bias committed that grave sin. Joel - 20/01/2011 07:47:09 PM 1175 Views
so in other words you again missed the point random thoughts - 20/01/2011 08:26:49 PM 1115 Views
Well, one of us did. Joel - 20/01/2011 09:24:35 PM 1241 Views
so lets be clear do you or don't you understand what it means to "blame the vicitm"? random thoughts - 20/01/2011 10:03:48 PM 873 Views
I understand it well; can we be equally clear you say the victim here is Palin? Joel - 20/01/2011 10:44:08 PM 1311 Views
So I am a little confused on something... MightyYT - 16/01/2011 02:38:59 PM 1247 Views

You seem to be reading what you want to from what I said Isaac - 19/01/2011 01:27:32 PM 1146 Views
I read what you said & understood it as you restate here, hence I referenced local police (twice) Joel - 20/01/2011 02:15:17 AM 1208 Views
The problem here is your ignoring normal policing powers to concoct an absurdity Isaac - 20/01/2011 04:20:25 PM 1288 Views
More absurd than the notion such incitement warrants no notice? Joel - 20/01/2011 05:42:47 PM 1263 Views
really because people post that kind of crap daily and nothing happens random thoughts - 20/01/2011 05:57:52 PM 1090 Views

Again, I don't think Palin intended this, but Giffords feared ten months ago that this could result. Joel - 16/01/2011 11:29:19 PM 1198 Views
