Blood Libel and Sarah Palin. A most apt term.

The illustration on the left, located at the cult-church of Anderl von Rinn until recently, portrays the “martyrdom” of Anderl, a three year-old boy who became the focus of a blood-libel cult in the seventeenth-century. Anderl is the child being held down and having his throat slit. The killers are clearly marked as Jews by their clothes and turbans (one form of the “special mark” Jews were forced to carry by Church decree).

The third, lower, figure is collecting the child’s blood in a bowl. The myth of the blood libel was that the blood of a Christian child was used to make Passover matzohs.

“Blood Libel” is termed the new phrase of the week.

As ugly as sin and not fit for the weak.

Sarah Palin, she dared

 The apt term to be shared.

For hate is much worse than a slow dripping leak.

While most liberal Jews attacked Sarah Palin for using a term she knew nothing about and was offending them in so doing, the famous law professor Alan Dershowitz defended her use of the term, saying “I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.

Arizona Tragic shootings. Blame Sarah Palin First. A Limerick. (and more)

Arizona Tragic shootings. Blame Sarah First. Proverbs 30:15-16 (King James Version) The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

Hang Sarah in effigy: freedom of speech,  (1)

When Dem’s paint a bullseye, it is but to teach. (2)

The Lib’s are horseleeches,

Cry “Give” in their speeches.

When tragedy strikes – Times first Sarah besmeech. (3)

(2) DCCC map

(3)  During the fall campaign, Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, posted a controversial map on her Facebook page depicting spots where Democrats were running for re-election; those Democrats were noted by crosshairs symbols like those seen through the scope of a gun. Ms. Giffords was among those on Ms. Palin’s map. NYT Jan 8 2011.

In June 2008 The Daily Kos had this bullseye target on Gabrielle Gifford:

And one more blog entry at Daily Kos posted the day before the shooting. It has now been scrubbed. One more entry: This one deals with Candidate Barack Obama. Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight? That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Jun 13, 2008. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

And one more: Attacks on Lt.Colonel Larkin supporters in his eligibility challenge. (The American Patriot Foundation). And we must not forget the famous CNN program:

Hard times for Paul Krugman. A Limerick.

Paul Krugman Jan 2, 2011, NYT: The figure at right illustrates Okun’s Law — the relationship between growth and unemployment. (Gah — I’ve tried to remove the connecting lines, to no avail.) The horizontal axis shows annual growth rates of real GDP; the vertical axis shows the year-to-year change in the unemployment rate. Two things are clear. First, the economy has to grow around 2 1/2 percent per year just to keep unemployment from rising. Second, growth above that level leads to a less than one-for-one fall in unemployment (because hours per worker rise, more people enter the work force, etc.). Roughly, it takes two point-years of extra growth to reduce the unemployment rate by one point. So, suppose that US growth is accelerating. Even so, it will take years of high growth to get us back to anything resembling full employment. Put it this way: suppose that from here on out we average 4.5 percent growth, which is way above any forecast I’ve seen. Even at that rate, unemployment would be close to 8 percent at the end of 2012, and wouldn’t get below 6 percent until midway through Sarah Palin’s first term.

Update: This would make unemployment go below 6 % Jan 2019.

Paul Krugman once wrote: “Sarah Palin’s first term”

and all of his readers started to squirm.

You cannot be serious

You must be delirious

 Next thing you tell us: “She is a bookworm”.

Never let a tragedy go to waste! A Limerick.

101 ways to politicize a tragedy?

Received this email Jan 26.

Yesterday, my close friend and fellow Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords resigned from Congress to continue her recovery.
I went with her to the floor of the House to serve as her voice — and to thank her for her service to this country.
Join me in thanking her by adding your name to a note.  I’ll make sure she gets it.
Gabby made one thing very clear with these words:
“I will recover and will return, and we will work together again, for Arizona, and for all Americans.”
I know she is going to be back. Until then, let’s show her we’re all behind her:

Thank you,
Debbie
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Chair Democratic National Committee

In itself somewhat benign but then I realized your are directed to the DMC change that matters web site to sign the note.  Donate, add your name to their propaganda list etc.   NEVER,  NEVER LET A TRAGEDY GO TO WASTE!

The original response to the tragedy in Arizona was, as we all know, much worse.  At that time the calculation was that Sarah Palin would be the Republican nomine, so she was called personally responsible for the tragedy since she had targeted Gabrielle Gifford for defeat. The memorial service in Tuscon Arizona turned into a pep rally? This picture shows you why.

Do not let a tragedy slow down your pace.

“Together we thrive” we must now all embrace.

What happened to tact?

To mourn is a fact,

 It must have its time, – then we enter the race.

We must not forget the applause:

Sarah Palin vs Obama. A comparison Limerick.

Who fears Sarah Palin? Elite, left and right.

 That leaves us the people. Oh, what a delight.

Obama the dimwit*

and Sarah’s true grit.

The choice is quite clear and the fight is a sight.

*Definitions of dimwit:

1: A person looking up the word “dimwit” in a dictionary not knowing what it means.

2: Someone with crazy ideas that could be considered dangerous

3: Someone who doesn’t know what he is doing

4: Someone who does things just to gain acceptance from others, not because he is a real personality.

5: Dual Income, Married, WIth Teens
