Oy vey, Sarah Palin.

It pains me to have a Palin post, but honestly, it's inevitable.

The Real Victim of the Tucson Murders: Sarah Palin

• Public Reaction to Palin's speech not good (poll, 1/17/11)
• Howard Stern: Palin's speech "makes you want to vomit" , praises Obama's speech (Jan 2011) 

Blood Libel
General Critique of her use of "blood libel"

• New Republic: "Beyond Comparison: what Blood Libel really means" 1/28/2011
• Howard Kurtz, the Daily Beast: "Palin Goes Nuclear

Conservative Critique of "Blood Libel"

• Rep. Gov Chris Christie: "cool reaction"
• National Review Jonah Goldberg: "not sure they should have used the term"

GOP/Conservative Support for "Blood Libel"

The end of Palin? (Don't hold your breath -hw)

• Then again... Even teaparty people are getting tired of her: From "Renew America:" Sarah Palin: from toast of the town to plain toast (April 2011)--they like Bachmann better than Sister Sarah!
• The End of Palin as we Know Her? -Alternet, 1/14/11
• Bos Phoenix "Trouble on the right" 2/2011

Did she or didn't she know what "blood libel" means?

• "Why she used the term Blood Libel", PoliticusUSa, 1/13/11
• (FWIW, in her 1/17/11 interview w/ Hannity, she said she knows what it means and it is what happened to her)

General Palin-Watching

• Palin's Egocentric Umbrage (Eugene Robinson, 1/18/11)
• The History of Palin in 10 pictures (May 2011) (good reminders)

On Double Standards:

• Palin cancels event after "negative personal attacks" worry organizers about potential violence.  Words have meaning?
