I edited in that I agree with you—but I've read the press attacking Palin for the use, and they didn't attack anyone else for using it.

Dershowitz at least has the legitimate jewish credentials to have a more valid opinion on it than I do, and he's not a right-wing partisan, either, so it's at least a fair POV.

PS to skybird: you claim Palin has used "vicious" rhetoric in the past. Quote some examples, and I can tell you if they are indeed "vicious" to a native North American English speaker. I'll be surprised if you can find any at all. Vicious is a pretty high bar, so just posting "snarky" won't cut it.
