Here's a joke I can no longer tell now that I've taken up my campaign for decency:
Q: How can you tell a moderate Republican?
A: They only shoot to wound.
Blood Libel Joke of the Day: We're having Sarah Palin over for Matzoh Brie; for cocktails, we're serving Bristol Cream
Sullivan reminds us exactly who first called out Palin and cast blame upon her:
"..the person who did go there, months before she was shot, was Giffords herself, presciently. If Giffords hadn't herself predicted possible violence as a result of Palin's cross-hairs, Palin would not be anywhere near this story. That's the simple and amazing truth."

Instead of blaming the victim; the victim did the blaming; let's go to the video tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tTDiZZYCAs&feature=player_embedded
Sully really nails it: "Now recall what actually happened, which is that a congresswoman was shot through the head after being subjected to extraordinary levels of hatred and demonization and threats. Because that very congresswoman had herself complained at the time of the "consequences" of Palin's metaphorical use of cross-hairs, reporters, bloggers and regular human beings on Facebook made that obvious connection.
There was nothing "manufactured" about this. It was the most obvious set of observations to be made in the immediate aftermath. To call this understandable concern about the impact of violent rhetoric and imagery on disturbed minds a manufactured "blood libel" – equating critics of extreme rhetoric of being the equivalent of Nazis or medieval anti-Semites – is to up the ante at a time when leaders really need to calm emotions."
