oh i didn't make it clear that was quoted from the linked story...i DO think this is Dog whistle politics. As soon as i heard about her statement i thought about GWB and how he'd mention the Dred Scott case to cue the religious right. I think Palin's use of the term blood libel associated with the media is meant to play on very ugly sentiments that associate the media with jews and Srah with Jesus. [/QUOTE]it's too obscure a term to have been chosen at random, and too sloppy a fit to really be meant for the context in which it appears to appear I hadn't made that association. Now I see it. Good point!
