Additional commentary:
* The Hill, "Palin accuses media of 'blood libel' in Giffords shooting aftermath." (Via Memeorandum.)
* At LAT, "Sarah Palin unapologetic after criticism related to Arizona shootings."
Added: There's a debate over the origins and usage of "blood libel":
* Ben Smith, "The origins of ‘blood libel’."
* Jonah Goldberg, "“Blood Libel”."
And from Charles Krauthammer, "Massacre, followed by libel":
The charge: The Tucson massacre is a consequence of the "climate of hate" created by Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, Glenn Beck, Obamacare opponents and sundry other liberal betes noires.
The verdict: Rarely in American political discourse has there been a charge so reckless, so scurrilous and so unsupported by evidence.
