We know the Times hasn't.<br /><br />Brad,<br /><br />That's really good. Thanks for sharing it. I also noticed that Alan Dershowitz said there wasn't anything wrong with the way Palin used the term.<br /><br />Dan,<br /><br />I understand that. It got that way for me with Clinton in his second term.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-36970013380146184242011-01-13T22:17:02.973-06:002011-01-13T22:17:02.973-06:00When Obama comes on I change the channel.

He has no credibility on just about any issue he bloviates upon.CousinDan 54915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-86547472499509623412011-01-13T22:14:43.594-06:002011-01-13T22:14:43.594-06:00Rabbi Shmuley Boteach had a great piece in the WSJ...Rabbi Shmuley Boteach had a great <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703583404576079823067585318.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" rel="nofollow">piece</a> in the WSJ regarding Sarah Palin's use of the phrase "blood libel."Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-24943051956030796802011-01-13T22:07:11.820-06:002011-01-13T22:07:11.820-06:00The other part of this which you don't referen...The other part of this which you don't reference, but I'm sure you've thought about, is that Obama's call for civility was a howler when taken in the context of his own behavior. <br /><br />Now, there is the possibility that this situation has brought home to him that he needs to mend his ways and that he spoke with sincerity. I hope so. But it will be interesting to see how he actually behaves. <br /><br />Of course I do not expect him to be perfectly civil, he is a politician in a particular party after all. He just needs to rid himself of his nasty habit of casting blame about and using straw men to make himself look reasonable.<br /><br />As for the New York Times, it is continues to have no credibility.W.B.
