In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    Do you support Obama's continuation of Bush's policies on the War on Terror?

    I've been arguing with MSgt about it for months. Let me know if you convince him!:mrgreen:

    Why the **** are we even talking about "violent Rhetoric"?

    Actually, in the second case you are using a group as an example of how uncivil our society has become. That is not blaming them for the killing. That is not accusing them of inspiring the killing. And it is of course, not even a little hateful. I wish we could call both sides out equally...

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    Well I don't think it's quite that bad. At the very worst, she just chose the wrong word. Certainly politicians have done worse.

    Seriously? Thinking people should behave civilly and respectfully is violent? Wow.

    Who's calling her an anti-Semite?

    What happend to Jared's Accomplice?

    He was ruled out. It was the cab driver who brought him there IIRC.

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    Of course, the definition would have to change in order for her usage to be correct. Most defintitions that I've seen include religious minorities as possible targets. You keep pointing out that other people have used it. I'm aware. Palin certainly doesn't have a monopoly on misusing words...

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    It was a eight minute professionally produced speech from what I've read. I'm sure someone wrote it. How could "blood libel" be fairly intuitive? It doesn't mention murder at all in the phrase. Or Jews or persecution for that matter.

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    She might. I wouldn't be at all shocked. Of course, in this situation I think it's much more likely that her speech writer reads the WSJ. You must have had a lot of history classes. It's not like it's an intuitive meaning.

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    The article points out that she isn't alone in misusing it. And other than a few people claiming it means something different, I haven't seen any actual evidence that the definition has changed in these "modern" times.

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    It's a fairly obscure phrase. Palin's words reach back to sordid history - Yahoo! News

    I still don't understand marijuana legalization people.

    I actually don't like smoking pot. I support legalization.

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    Please. The definition has been posted multiple times and how she meant it comes no where close to the actual definition of the phrase. Just because a handful of other people have used it doesn't make it anymore correct.

    Sarah Palin accuses critics of "blood libel"

    Wow. Three, now four times in the last five years. Clearly a hot phrase.
