A New Dictionary - or is it Lexicon?

Seriously - the Washington Times uses the word "pogrom" in it's op-ed re: Palin. Seriously?
Have I mentioned before I don't believe in coincidence? If I hear another usurpation of language that undermines the true horror of persecution - Jewish or not - I'm really going to get mad. Outraged, even.

I admitted upfront my own rush to judgment and my need to lash out at someone and Palin and Beck were easy targets. And I've thought alot about my inclination to automatically lay the blame. But if this keeps up, I'm retracting my regret.

Of all the words in the English language, "blood libel" and "pogrom" are what best describe the so-called victimization of Sarah Palin? And my outrage? the only victims that matter are those that were in that parking lot in Tuscon. Good gawd she...hell, I can't finish that sentence without silencing myself. Damn.
