Dershowitz defends Palin's "blood libel"
Why is the Propaganda Press pretending that the English language is not a living, breathing, evolving entity - as they claim the Constitution is? Because they have another nail they hope to hammer in Palin's coffin.Parading these "scholars" to inform the American people that Sarah Palin - a loyal supporter of Israel - is anti-Semitic is unconscionable. Then again, what would we expect from these obsessive hate-mongers?
Alan Dershowitz is usually a darling of the LSM - but proves himself today to be fair:
Exclusive: Alan Dershowitz Defends Sarah Palin's Use of Term 'Blood Libel'
by PubliusMany thanks to Andrew Breitbart's Big Government
In an exclusive statement, famed attorney and Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz defended Sarah Palin's use of the term "blood libel" from multiple detractors. As the Media Matters/MSM/Democrat narrative on the Tucson tragedy unravels, they are getting a lot more desperate in their attacks on Palin. Fortunately, there are still plenty of honest liberals around:
The term "blood libel" has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.

There is a heated debate going on over at a friend's facebook page about Sarah Palin. She really is getting under the skin of the left, which, ok, I just love. Not very charitable, I know, but there it is.
Those on the left don't seem to understand that there are still a lot of us that love our country and don't want a government which is involved in the details of our day to day lives.
I see Sarah as a wife and a mom, just like me, that is worried about the world we're leaving to our children. The only difference is that she has a much broader platform than me. I believe she's doing a good and necessary job.
I also believe she can take the heat. She hasn't set out to be anti-semitic and certainly did not intend anyone to view that map as a literal call to go out and kill her opponents.
We all know that the rhetoric and posturing from her opponents is the result of their fear that their agenda is in danger.
