Shouldn't there be some corollary to Godwin's Law that applies in these situations?

So Fox News and other conservative businesses were destroyed by riots? And conservatives' properties and churches are being destroyed? And their families are being rounded up and massacred?

Wow. I haven't heard about any such widespread destruction and death. I guess the lame stream media is truly evil for not reporting such atrocities. And good for conservatives, being able to broadcast and editorialize while facing such abuses.

It's a sham: They blew their cover with the oxymoron "conservative thinkers." Real AmeriKKKans know full well that "thinkin' is fer fagets."

Sarah Palin is a "thinker"? That's hilarious!

@4 from your fingers to Godwin's eyes.

I love how historical terms that have long ago entered the common vernacular are now verboten because some conservative shits have thrown them around haphazardly.

Suddenly "blood libel" and "program" are the Jewish equivalent of nigger. I guess I missed the memo.

Or are we just changing the focus of the attack since the stranger Staff clearly jumped the gun when they identified the Tuscon shooter as a brainwashed right wing fanatic?

"Suddenly "blood libel" and "program" are the Jewish equivalent of nigger. I guess I missed the memo."

@8 Really? I guess you missed more than the memo. I don't think anyone is balking at the use of the word "program". lol

I can't read 'final solution' without Eric cartman's voice in my head

Don't be silly, Dan. These people think the holocaust didn't happen.

Yes, my PC's pograms are definitely anti-Semitic.

I think they have to reference kristallnacht and gas chambers before they can go on to holocaust...

(@11 FTW)

I think it's sadly to late to do anything about this. I haven't even heard about a conservative thinking in over twenty years.

They had me with Sarah Palin = "conservative thinkers." If I were George Will or Wm. F. Buckley, I'd be boiling.

Isn't "blood libel" when someone accuses you of having sex on your period?

@6. She sometimes hires thinkers and rehearses the lines they write until they sound quasi-natural.

She does sound pretty off uttering polysyllables.

I'm just gonna assume @8 meant "pogrom" and isn't an illiterate. Since when is that part of the common vernacular? For that matter, since when has "blood libel" been part of the common vernacular?

They are specific terms that mean specific things. When these people use them, they are comparing GETTING THEIR FEELINGS HURT to people being herded into ghettos and exterminated. And that tells us a little something about who they are - people who have never had to face up to a genuine fucking hardship.

When the editors of the Washington Post are cut to pieces in the streets with cavalry sabers by cossaks, THEN they can call it a pogrom.

@8- "Blood Libel" refers to a specific thing, a thing which resulted in thousands and thousands of deaths. For Palin to compare herself to a persecuted minority IS insulting to everyone who knows history.

Here are a few more suggestions: http://www.jewcy.com/news/new-stupid-thi…

If you habitually misuse terms like "pogrom" and "blood libel," does it make you anti-semiotic?

Angle and O'Donnell were defeated by a Holocaust of common sense.

@24 Anti-semantic

Washington Times: "Criticisms of Palin are just the latest round of Jewing down political discourse."

How long until someone refers to the defeat of Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angle as a "holocaust"?

I'll bet it has happened already somewhere.

I'd agree with the proposition that this country has a Conservative Problem, but not in that sense... The Final Solution should involve education, not genocide.

Pogrom is more correct, though still insane hyperbole, as it's used for all sorts of ethnocide (though still generally identified with Jews; what the fuck is with these people and their use of rhetoric relating to anti-Semitism?), and White middle-to-upper-class Christian Conservatives constitute an ethnic group. I don't think anyone is trying to murder them all though.

The message just isn't getting through, obviously. I'm starting to think none of these people have a strong command of American English (which wouldn't actually be that surprising, given their disdain for schools and books). Claiming that pointing out lies, unjustified hyperbole, and hypocrisy constitutes a concerted effort to murder conservative thinkers takes the victimization complex to a whole new level.

The "blood libel" thing is patently absurd - it refers, specifically and only, to the charge that certain religious groups (and only Jews in this day and age) use the blood of children (of other religions) in certain rites. There existed no other usage of the term, until now.

@25: Which brings me to one of my favorite House lines ever:
Moriarty: "I don't care about semantics."
House: "You anti-semantic bastard!"
