"These leftists shrieked that using such a term was offensive to the Jewish people, and that it can only be used in referring to the original meaning."

That would have surprised the Jesuits who taught me the term.

There's so much fuss about this expression because people only pretend to be religious and so on. If they truly were, they'd know that there's nothing so offensive about this expression. But it's much easier to start accusing other people than try to find out something new.

Take a step back ... if George W. Bush was still President of the US, he would have been blamed for this tragedy in Tucson ... based on the fact that he ultimately would have been the chief law enforcement officer in the US.

I wonder why Obama escaped such a fate.

We all know the answer to that ... they blamed it on some non-governmental civilian woman in Alaska.

Frankly, if this doesn't sound like "the dog ate my homework" .. nothing does.

If someone fell for this, yet another manufactured false smear on Palin, they probably aren't in the best position to be questioning Palin's intelligence...

The sheer effrontery appalls me - after accusing Palin, and the rest of us, of murder, against all evidence, now and only now do they concern themselves with another's supposed "inflammatory" language.

To hell with them. They have crossed a line, and are worthy of no respect or dignity. They ar enot misguided, or wrong, or merely people with whom I disagree, they are evil fascists. They want blood in the streets, they yearn for political violence. Whether it is caused by, or directed at conservatives is of no import to them, they only want the blood to flow. Whatever they can do to usher in their revolution they will do.

I think the left is going to realize with horror that this unending stream of perpetual invective against Palin is doing a magnificent job of tempering her for a potential run.

As Thomas Jefferson opined, The patriot, like the Christian, must learn to bear revilings and persecutions as a part of his duty; and in proportion as the trial is severe, firmness under it becomes more requisite and praiseworthy. It requires, indeed, self-command. But that will be fortified in proportion as the calls for its exercise are repeated.

Palin's firmness and self-command was abundantly in evidence in her short talk yesterday. Her speech was a quantum leap more "presidential" in content and delivery than Obama's later funeral/pep rally speech in Tucson. The MSM won't call it that way, of course, but fewer and fewer are paying much attention to them of late.

yeah lots of LIBERAL Jews upset about that one, go figga

the muslim extremists are right wingers right?
