Full Disclosure: I've used a medieval illustrated book's rendering of "Blood Libel" as an illustration for a play. It was germane to the subject matter of the play (blood libel was a big plot driver).
And now the WaPo is saying it's a "pogrom" against conservatives. Almost makes me want to demonstrate exactly what that would be like. But then that would be sinking to their level, and I only have hip waders. I'd have to get a dry suit and scuba gear for that.
The link from the site you linked is especially enlightening too.

Kinda drives home how inappropriate Palin's usage was.
Nathan, yeah, that was a pretty good article.
