Honestly, I’m at the point where I’m convinced she’s the real-life version of an internet sock-puppet being used by a troll.
Somebody GAVE her that phrase to use, knowing that she would have no idea what the hell it meant but that it sounded good, and that person KNEW what would happen.
She’s a massive joke that someone’s been playing on the American people for two years.
Frankly, I doubt many Americans know the derivation of the phrase “blood libel”. About as many who know what the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were. Most likely, they roughly compare it with “blood oath”, to mean a very, very serious form of same.
The phrase “blood libel” is so awkward that the likelihood of someone using it in a random conversation WITHOUT knowing about the phrase seems slim to me. The phrase “blood oath” is significantly more commonly used and understood. While I understand that one should never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity, that phrase is just too odd of a use for me to dismiss it as the overheated rhetoric of an idiot.
I looked it up.
I didn’t know Palin was jewish.
Or is she trying to imply that us lefties wanna cook her brains up into flatbread?
That sounds like it’d be pretty tasteless stuff.
Maybe with a real garlicky hummus…
It’s all metaphor, people.
Words are without meaning!!!
It is getting to the point that she appears to be some sort of performance artist. That at some point, she’s going to pull a rubber face mask off and reveal that she’s one of The Yes Men.
Today’s candidate, Rerpresentative Louis Gohmert:
He is the gift of stupid that keeps on giving.
This is such a super idea. I can’t wait for
YOU LIE!
Blam blam blam!
Perhaps those voting against a measure could signal their disapproval by firing shots into the air.
Not anything all that new, according to this, the House and Senate floors used to be very violent places.
And so Rep. Gohmert thinks we should go back to that era? For what purpose? Does he really think that time was better because everyone could wear a firearm?
Gohmert is repeatable been on the record for being really fucking stupid it wouldn’t surprise me.
Gohmert Says FBI ‘Stonewalled’ On Shooter Profile To Avoid ‘Embarrassing’ Obama’s Constituents

Oh, yeah. Gohmert is on record (earlier in this very thread) as being greatly worried about possible terrorist anchor fetuses, which ought to tell you just how much of the stupid he partakes of…
That (s)cite was a little gold mine,
CMC fnord!
Courage?
Don’t be silly. She’s a Democrat.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure courage is measured strictly by one’s willingness to send US troops into foreign wars. Hence those “footprint of the American chicken” bumperstickers.
Of course! I get it! The sound of one hand clapping is whoooooosh!
I am one zen sumbitch!
