1. "Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them."Translated: People shouldn't think things I say cause crazy people to commit violent acts.
2. "Journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn."Translated: People should be careful to avoid saying things that cause crazy people to commit violent acts.
In simplest terms: Premise A is false, therefore premise A is true.
p.s. Blood libel? That's the belief that Jews use the blood of children in their religious rites, and is the root from which pretty much all modern-day anti-semetism has sprouted. That's a tasteful one to apply to yourself, Ms. Palin. Sheesh.
