Blood Libel (Susan Estrich)

Poster on Palin Facebook page compares 9-year-old Samantha Green to Hitler
A reader alerted me to this.

It's no secret that Sarah Palin employs people to delete comments on her Facebook page that criticize her --even respectful criticism is deleted. Some in the blogosphere actually track the deletions quite meticulously. O...

Palin to do Hannity Monday
Sarah Palin may be on the Fox News Payroll, but that doesn’t mean her colleagues at Fox News can book her whenever they want. Bill O’Reilly said earlier this week that he was trying to get her on the air, and then she scooped her whole network by releasing her own video via her Facebook page. But as that video continues to receive a fair amount of criticism from the right – Charles Krauthammer on Fox News last night said it was unnecessary – she has been urged to submit...

Sarah Palin To Sit Down With Sean Hannity For First Interview Since Arizona Shooting
Sarah Palin has been roped into ongoing discussion surrounding last weekend’s Arizona shooting during which Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head pretty much since the first shot was fired. The former Governor’s name first became embroiled in coverage of the event when some in the media pointed out that an ad appearing on Palin’s Facebook page for SarahPAC featured crosshairs over Giffords’ district, among others. Could this sort of “violent”...

It is the president's job to inspire and encourage what Abraham Lincoln described as "the better angels of our nature...

Sarah Palin and the "blood libel"
Posted by Paul at 8:30 PM Sarah Palin is coming in for criticism for using the term "blood Libel" to describe accusations that she and other outspoken Conservatives somehow have blood on their hands in connection with the Tucson shootings. Palin's remarks on the shootings are also being compared unfavorably to President Obama's Speech at the University of Arizona. Obama's Speech was healing and uplifting, while Palin's, some say, was divisive and defensive. I find both criticisms of Palin unfai...

The Huffington Post reports: WASHINGTON — Speaking before the National Press Club on Thursday, in what was yet another tease at a forthcoming presidential run, Gov. Tim Pawlenty defended fellow GOPer Sarah Palin against critics who he deemed highbrow elitists.

Palin's 10 Red Herrings (Politico)
Sarah Palin has continued and intensified the rhetorical strategy introduced by her supporters and surrogates in the wake of the Tucson tragedy. She’s offering a series of red herrings — distracting with concepts that are truthful, but irrelevant, to deflect from other issues or vulnerabilities.

Why Sarah Palin Used the Term Blood Libel
Many people were shocked and appalled yesterday when Sarah Palin used the term "blood Libel" to defend herself in her Fox "News" tee vee studio in Wasilla. From reading many comment threads all over the Blogosphere, it would appear that the comments could be placed in one of two categories: 1). "America's Professional Victim" didn't really know how deeply offensive the term is. Let's call them the "Sarah is dumb" crowd; 2). The "Sarah is too smart for her own good" group seems to think she knew...

Update! State Senator Lopez Responds-But Doesnt Apologizes for Tainting Vets
Early this week, right after the shootings in Arizona, I wrote a piece about Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez’s comment on the shooter being an Afghan Vet (or so she heard, she said in a Fox interview).  My piece asked for people to contact her office and let them know it was inappropriate, at best.  Well, apparently, the Senator’s staff has sent out a note to some of those who took time (thank you!) to write to their office.  From one reader, we get this: “Shor...
