For the people saying that she didn't know what the term actually meant, I'm not really certain how someone could have heard the term and known its usage well enough to know that it sort-of meant "unfounded accusation," but not know where it came from.
I assumed she coined the term herself. It sounded made-up. It's libel! But with blood!

I can see it, for a generally unthinking person who hangs around anti-semites?
The term sounded vaguely familiar to me, but I was seeing it more in terms of "a libel so heinous it can only be paid for in blood," rather than to a specific usage of blood, like swearing blood vengeance. I have heard of the accusation of the use of the blood in passover, though, through studies of history.

You assume that she's actually listening to the conversations in which she heard the phrase.
She hears the word "blood" she hears the word "libel"... she runs with it. She was mostly there to look sassy.
A party you have to pay to go to? Seriously? Is this a networking party where you're paying for the quality of the people you'll be introduced to? If it doesn't include free alcohol and a Legend of Rock, forget it. How good can it be?
Damn, Palin continues to astonish me. Her ignorance, her racism, her apparent inability to comprehend either one, and the depths to which she'll sink to explore them. Just astonishing.
But she's sassy!

These are not common? Maybe it's a regional/black/age thing, but I've been aware of them for a while. Never cared to go to one, though. And certainly not this one.
Last night's Southland--anyone watched?
A party at a place? That doesn't sound crazy to me. It's just a cover charge.
At college we'd have (and go to) parties where people were charged for the beer cup. (Maybe $2?) The goal was to make just enough to pay for the half-barrels.

I had never heard the term, and I can totally see the ignorant bitch using it thinking it was a "more worser xeleventy!!!!!!" version of "libel".
