Really Sarah, in what way are you like Jews who were unmercifully persecuted? I have no doubt that Palin and her speech writer, wading through four days of defensive, self indulgent blather used the phrase out of sheer ignorance, copying its use by conservatives Glenn Reynolds and Breitbart. After all, the Tea Party leaps to her defense for unknown reasons, but surely intellect isn’t one of them.

Again, words do have meaning Sarah Barracuda. One would think that now – of all times, you’d be most careful in their use. Simon Greer of the Jewish Funds for Justice sheds light on the subject, and explains why this is a further slap in the face to Congresswoman Giffords.
