The Anti-Defamation League has condemned Sarah Palin’s use of the term “blood libel” to describe her opponents. Abraham Foxman sent the statement to Greg Sargent:
It is unfortunate that the tragedy in Tucson continues to stimulate a political blame game. Rather than step back and reflect on the lessons to be learned from this tragedy, both parties have reverted to political partisanship and finger-pointing at a time when the American people are looking for leadership, not more vitriol. In response to this tragedy we need to rise above partisanship, incivility, heated rhetoric, and the business-as-usual approaches that are corroding our political system and tainting the atmosphere in Washington and across the country.
It was inappropriate at the outset to blame Sarah Palin and others for causing this tragedy or for being an accessory to murder. Palin has every right to defend herself against these kinds of attacks, and we agree with her that the best tradition in America is one of finding common ground despite our differences.
Still, we wish that Palin had not invoked the phrase “blood-libel” in reference to the actions of journalists and pundits in placing blame for the shooting in Tucson on others. While the term “blood-libel” has become part of the English parlance to refer to someone being falsely accused, we wish that Palin had used another phrase, instead of one so fraught with pain in Jewish history.

just tell me who specifically blamed Palin for this event and maybe post their specific comment.

Death threats against Sarah Palin have reached an unprecedented level in recent days, an aide says.
In the wake of Saturday’s shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others, the aide said that threats against Palin have spiked, ABC News reported.

The aide did not offer further details on the threats or whether Palin has taken additional security precautions.
Palin’s use of gun-related language and imagery, including a map that marked Giffords’ district with crosshairs, have provoked debate about national political discourse, even as evidence mounts that alleged gunman Jared Lee Loughner was driven by inner demons and his personal sentiments about the congresswoman.
Palin on Wednesday condemned journalists and pundits for “manufactur[ing] a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.”
A video posted on YouTube earlier this week – and since removed – featured a collection of threats made against Palin on Twitter since the shooting.
“Can somebody please shoot Sarah Palin,” read one. Another said: “Ugh! All the wrong people get shot. Why doesn’t this kind of thing happen at a Sarah Palin event?”
