Using a pejorative term implying that Jews murder children in the same speech in which she offers her condolences to the family of a slain child and a Congresswoman who happens to be Jewish was a calculated move on the part of her team. Her writers are exploiting the fact that she probably won't Google certain terms and phrases before she's asked to say them, but a marketing strategy edging on cluelessness seems to be working thus far. Though her team doesn't want fingers pointed at them, they'll take the spotlight if it shines on them.</div></blockquote>

	I'd confidently bet Palin just thought "blood libel" means "really, really, really bad libel" (or, to paraphrase Bender, "the worst kind of libel--the kind about me!"). But I wouldn't be surprised if her speechwriter know what it means and deployed it purposely--remember that in their view, conservatives in general and Sarah Palin in particular are always the victims of something.</div></blockquote>

	Also, Palin is a freak who has compared herself to Queen Esther in the past.  Though again, who knows if that was her idea or if one of her advisers came up with that one, too.
