MeirI'm sorry. You really really need to provide the source of this
before you accuse her of being THAT b..... stupid. I'm not a Palin
Well, it's true.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=836&bih=456&q=palin+...
Because she said this in video form, maybe this would be better.http://www.google.com/search?q=palin+%22blood+libel%22&tbo=p&tbs=vid%...
I don't see the original there, the whole of what she said. The start
was fine, standard stuff about ending violence, and I think the second
part was shorter. I'll bet most of the videos here include all of the
second part.
Then it's quoting out of context, by definition a fallacy,
So you think the only way one can quote anything is to quote the
entire thing. One can't quote "Ask not what your country can do for
you. Ask what you can do for your country" without quoting Kennedy's
entire inaugural speech? One can't quote "Do not go as a talebearer
among your people" without quoting the entire Torah? Wouldn't that
make it impossible to reference almost anything longer than a 160
character tweet?
No, it's not "quoting out of context" unless the rest of what was said
or written would change the meaning of what *is* quoted.
one often
used against Jews. Besides, Genesis 18:21, I plan to "go see if it's
what it was claimed to be"
fan, far from it, but if she's that ignorant about the history of
Jewish/Christian relationships, then she goes in the same class with
Cal Thomas who has been similarly stupid in public such that I turn my
radio off when his spots come on. And I've told the radio station
that via email. So give the source because I may want to go to her
website and tell her off too.
Does she take complaints? I don't know much about twitter and
facebook, but I sort of thought one of the advantages of being there
was that one person did all the talking. Although otoh, I did hear
about a flurry of discussion on facebook, maybe about this, which
would contradict my impression.
There are lots of ways to get through to her.
If I were to do this, I'd like to reach her and her admirers at the
same time. Not that many people are influenced by letters they get,
plus she probably gets plenty and may not see most of them. Not every
admirer would see my post either, but several would, if there is a way
to do that.
If you haven't done it
yet, and it pans out, I can always tell AJC among others.
Well, I wasn't suggesting, until my paragraph above, that I would take
the time. The amount of effort it would take hasn't changed, but it
seems somehow to have gotten greater.
Continued from my first post:
She found one similarity and ignored that the libel against Jews was
libel because it was a lie. The statements and webpages attributed to
her are things she actually said or posted** and the conclusions
people draw from them are conclusions, not lies, and not unreaasonable
ones. Even if this shooter wasn't directly influence by what she's
said and posted, the notion that murder for political reasons is a
good idea may well affect even a crackpot***
**Like "Don't retreat. Instead reload". Like her webpage with
gun-sight cross-hairs directed at Giffords and others. Now an aide
says that represents something like a surveyor's telescope, even
though she described them as bulls-eyes. She can't admit to having
gone too far and instead comes out with this absurd lie about what the
image meant. A real "straight-talker" she is not.
***He may be a crackpot, but he still managed to get decently dressed,
go to class (even if 5 times he was kicked out, that's nowhere near
every class. In most of the others he probably acted normallly),
associate with friends, (who didn't think he would go this far, buy a
gun, buy ammunniition, hire a taxi, find the place where the meeting
was. That he's a crackpot doesn't mean he's not influenced by the
general environment.
And even if, for the sake of argument, he wasn't at all influenced,
there are lots of people out there who might be.
