Dennis Prager gives the ok to call it 'Blood libel'
On his radio show just now, Prager goes with a cheap semantic defense: Palin was libeled about bloodshed, so there we go: blood libel. Touche, Dennis! :toast:


He then goes on to cite his credentials on antisemitism, which included a book that some important person said was good.

Not just the book, but according to Prager he has many other items on his resume which are supposed to cause us to take seriously his obviously stupid defense of Palin's using the term.

6. That was my first thought also. And since when do we need permission to be offended?
Sarah Palin can say anything she damn well feels like saying. And we can be offended and say so.

2. Does anyone else find it odd that Prager champions "personal integrity"?
Especially when it's damned obvious that he doesn't actually possess any?

3. He is Jewish, Right Wing Republican often speaks to cultural
issues.

Having observed him over the years, this is to be expected.

8. Tell all the people who have suffered under that lie that it is fine for her to claim it.
IMO she is a thoughtless heartless fool. Words have consequences!

12. Even among RW radio blowhards, Dennis Prager is a wannabe carpetbagger;
a poor imitation.

16. So can we call it "blood libel" when they use "death panels" or "baby killer"
going forward? :eyes:
