Even Alan Dershowitz is defending Sarah Palin against the liberal blood libel

Cats.  Dogs.  Living together.  The statists are just about out of ammo, don't you think?  Hat tip Instapundit.

ALAN DERSHOWITZ: “The term ‘blood libel’ has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse.” You don’t say. He continues: “Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People,its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim.”

UPDATE: From the comments: “Alan Dershowitz defending Sarah Palin tells me the lunatic left is just about of ammunition.”

Heck, it’s gotten so bad that even Jonathan Chait is defending Palin.

But Paul Krugman is still nuts.
