Sarah Palin has no idea what "blood libel" means

From the Financial Times:

“Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence that they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible,” Ms Palin said.

Taken literally, I believe she's saying that liberal pundits and politicians accuse her and like-minded conservatives of murdering children and using their blood in religious rituals, and that this accusation may spark violence against her and her kind. Fortunately or unfortunately (I can't decide which), nothing Sarah Palin says can ever be taken literally. A phrase like "blood libel" means nothing to her, she just thinks it sounds good coming out of her mouth. Her message, like most of her political statements, is just a string of vacuous platitudes that are intended to soothe the soul while numbing the brain. The video is here, if you can stomach it. Note her reminder to us of our struggle after 9/11 to resist the temptation to sacrifice our liberties in order to preserve an illusive security. Um, which side of that struggle was she on?
