It would be sad if we focused on "Palin as anti-Semite" instead of "Palin as inflammatory

[dkf]

And Dangerous"

I'm just not sure the anti-Semite charge doesn't seem a little over the top for a person that is probably simply ignorant.

[TwilightGardener]

1. I don't know that she's an anti-Semite because of this remark--she's just a

narcissist and an epic dumbass.

[dkf]

2. Yup dumbass is perfect. All of her antics can fall under that category.

[oberliner]

3. Where has anyone made that accusation?

I've heard people point out the stupidity and tone-deafness of using the "blood libel" analogy - but I have not seen anyone anywhere refer to her as an antisemite.

Have you come across that somewhere?

[azurnoir]

4. IMO pandering and arse covering would be more accurate n/t

[phleshdef]

5. Palin isn't anti-semitic. Isn't she rabidly pro-Israel? She is just brazenly ignorant.

[TheBigotBasher]

10. Being rabidly Pro Israel

no matter what the polices of the government of Israel does not stop them being Anti-Semetic.

[solara]

6. How about Palin as dull, blind, cretinous, shallow, moronic, indiscriminate, careless,

dense, imbecilic, unlearned, in the dark, inexperienced, neglectful, insensible, nescient, oblivious, obtuse, inconsiderate, thick, unconscious, uncultivated, thoughtless, uncultured, uneducated, unenlightened, uninformed, myopic, unintellectual, unknowledgeable, unmindful, unread, witless, injudicious, heedless, imperceptive, inattentive, oblivious, unaware, unconscious, undiscerning, unmindful, unobservant, unperceiving, unreasoning, unseeing, mindless, misinformed, naive, insensitive


Or how about just plain STUPID :evilgrin:



:patriot:

7. No one has suggested she's an anti-semite. We're saying she's invoking language that is dangerous.

She has no understanding of what she says. She has no background that would make her realize that her statement is volatile. That she herself is volatile. That she has no sense decorum or discretion. That is what is being said. However, it must be said, that her statement in general is antisemitic when using the words "blood libel" and it's dangerous when compared to the situation.

[superduperfarleft]

8. "Blood libel" has been used for centuries as an excuse for pogroms against Jewish people.

Despite what Ms. Refudiate thinks, words have meaning, and blood libel has a very specific meaning.

For Palin to try and equivocate that with people in the media saying mean things about her/finally calling her on her shit, to try and make HERSELF into not just a victim, but a victim of blood libel of all things, is at best overly dramatic and insensitive. At worst, it's as blatantly anti-semitic as anything that attempts to diminish the actual crimes committed for centuries against Jewish people.

She has once again proven herself to be a thoroughly disgusting human being.

[JohnnyLib2]

9. I think of her as Sarah-Paris Hilton-Palen

Wants and is given attention, regardless of merit.

[Sinistrous]

11. True. Just keep focusing on the facts that she is

+ abjectly stupid,

+ profoundly ignorant,

+ and possessing a totally inert social conscience.

[bigdarryl]

12. Palin is a racist toward African American's thats a fact when she was Governor

she told a group of African Americans she isn't going to hire any African Americans in her cabinet and doesn't have to

[Jennicut]

13. She is a dumb selfish idiot. I think it became even more clear today.
