Palin explains 'blood libel' comment
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, defending herself against criticism following the Tucson, Arizona, shootings, said Monday that she used the term "blood libel" to describe comments made by those who falsely tried to link conservatives to the assassination attempt against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Speaking out for the first time since she used the term in a video, Palin said on Fox's Sean Hannity show that the term referred to those "falsely accused of having blood on their hands." (AP)
