Just because Dennis Praeger used the term "Blood Libel" does not make it any better or justify it. Let's face it, Jews drinking christian baby blood is a pretty weak (as well as extreme) methophor for criticism of the tea party by liberal-backed elements of the media.

Why didn't she just clearly say in plain English that efforts to link the assassination attempt against Rep Gabrielle Giffords to conservatives' (or the tea party's) political rhetoric had no basis in fact since the shooter was a first class nut-job? Why did she choose to try and simplify it by using an expression that brings up all kinds of other issues, not the least of which is that Giffords is Jewish. I think that's pretty good evidence that she really is a moron.

Japan does have cashiers checks. I used one to buy my property because I refused to pay with a satchel full of cash. She was too stupid or this was all part of a long con.
