Back in those ‘calm days’ when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols?”<br /><br />She may be referring to the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Duels were never, commonly, a way for political figures to settle their differences. At the time, it wasn't considered an appropriate way to settle personal and political differences: Burr was indicted for murder. The duel ended Burr's political career as well as Hamilton's life.Joie Vouethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728012555935899755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616743751559129574.post-49879410593871447902011-01-12T10:13:06.785-08:002011-01-12T10:13:06.785-08:00From "Palin charges critics with 'blood l...From "<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20110112/pl_politico/47477_1" rel="nofollow">Palin charges critics with 'blood libel</a>:"<br /><br />Palin’s use of the charged phrase “blood libel” — which refers to the anti-Semitic lie from the Middle Ages that Jews killed Christian children to use their blood to make matzo for Passover — touched off an immediate backlash.<br /><br />“The blood libel is something anti-Semites have historically used in Europe as an excuse to murder Jews. The comparison is stupid. Jews and rational people will find it objectionable,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic political consultant and devout Jew. “This will forever link her to the events in Tucson. It deepens the hole she’s already dug for herself. … It’s absolutely inappropriate.”Joie Vouethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728012555935899755noreply@blogger.com
