[Vision2020] America's Jews Respond to Palin's Use of the Phrase "Blood Libel"

[the lockshop]

"A person who does not know what she is saying and until two years ago did not know why the two Koreas are divided has no business speaking for the Republican party.  She continually embarrasses her party and spoils our national image in the world."

When you've got a democrat representative currently sitting in congress who worrys that sending a few extra Marines to Guam might cause the island to capsize, it'll be a while before Ms. Palin's misconstrued comments are Americas biggest embarrassment.

It seems that you will not until we come up with an equal number of crazies on the so-called "left." That is absurd, dishonest, and totally evasive.
