Shortly after the Tucson, Arizona masacre where 6 people were killed, Congresswoman Gifford was shot in the head and numerous others critically injured, Sara Pahil made a video on her facebook. In her video she defended the 2nd amendment; giving people the right to bear arms but she used the words "Blood Libel" in her video. This video immediately started a debate over the use of her language and the specific words, "blood libel". According to MNSBC.COM, there were over 396,000 comments on her video and over 59% of the people commenting found her use of the phrase "blood libel" offensive and not appropriate. This video started a political debate which was once again, very critical. Pahlin supporters are saying that she has a right to say these things and are supporting her.
My opinion is that I don't believe she meant this to be offensive to anyone. Pahlin has always been supportive of the 2nd amendment and is once again, not talking gun rehtoric. She has a right to make a comment on this just like they are on her. Our first amendement gives us this right but i would hope it would be sincere because of this tragic event.
