Blood libel? Seriously?

Sarah Palin has put her foot in her mouth again. In a statement about the shooting of a Jewish politician, she accuses the media of victimizing her with "blood libel".

Does this stupid woman even think about what she's saying?

Just to add to the charm, she goes on and on insisting that the crazy shooter was entirely on his own, uninfluenced by anything in the culture, and that nothing else did or could have affected him. Apparently, he's been living in a bubble floating in the vacuum of space and has only recently landed here on this planet.
