Palin's use of the blood of Christian children

I understand that in the face of the senseless deaths of six people and a Congresswoman gunned down while engaging in the best tradition of democracy -- meeting her constituents -- that it should, naturally, be all about the failed, half-term ex-governor of Alaska.

But blood libel?

I hope those accused of accusing Palin of "blood libel," "the media," will use this as an opportunity to identify how these wingnut memes proliferate. A Republican consultant tweets, Instapundit, repeats in the WSJ, then Palin, encouraged by Beck, and finally Breitbart.

These are not particularly intelligent people.
