    False rumors and accusations that Jews would murder Christian children and steal their blood to make Matzot for [passover].

    A term Sarah Palin misused to describe the criticism about her violent and self serving political rhetoric to defend her cause to take over the world. It also allowed Palin to paint herself as a victim so she could gain sympathy while secretly continuing on her agenda of attempting to get her opponents assassinated ([Julian Assange], Gabrielle [Giffords], Governor Frank Murkowski).

      a false allegation of murder; the term refers specifically to a recurring rumor from 12th century Europe that Jews were kidnapping Christian children and using their blood for ritual purposes. A famous example of the blood [libel] is recounted in the Nun Prioresss Tale from [Chaucers] [Canterbury] Tales. In this and other versions of the story, the events are absurd and feature perverse miracles.
      Frequently occurrences of the blood libel were accompanied by a wave of [mass murder] of Jewish residents of the city. In many cases, the zealots would force the authorities to try random Jews for the alleged crime; these trials were, naturally, travesties.
      The last case of a blood libel resulting in murder was the Kielce [pogrom] of 1946. 200 Jewish survivors of [the Final Solution] were being transported back to Poland when a boy (who had disappeared for a couple of days) told the police he had been kidnapped by Jews. The police went to a hostel where returning Holocaust survivors were staying, and massacred 37 of them.
      Sometimes the phrase blood libel is used to refer to similar allegations against primarily non-Jewish groups; for example, many nationalities have been accused of kidnapping children to harvest their organs and sell them to rich patients in the developed world.

        A phrase, the [incorrect] use of which, proves [Sarah Palin] is a [complete idiot].

          n. Another word for which [Sarah Palin] created her own definition and then misused in an attempt to deflect attention from the fact that intelligent, rational people recognize her for being the cosmically-idiotic, hypocritically [self-righteous], narcissitic, attention-whoring [asshat] that she is.
