“Blood Libel”: Is Sarah Palin An Anti-Semite?
While it is difficult to ascertain precisely what Palin’s intentions were in carefully choosing these words for her script, it can be certain that the meaning must have import to her.

With the less-than-easy access to deadly firearms, a rise in religious fundamentalism in both the military and civilian society, and Right-Wing politicians, and pundits, claiming that the federal government is filled with everything from illegitimate foreign usurpers to unconstitutional oppressors of the American people…A 9mm Glauk in the hands of a mentally unstable individual (of which there are potentially many in any society) was simply a tragedy waiting to happen.
