Giffords wasn’t shot because of her Judaism, ADL says

Even a stopped clock is right a couple times a day. Boy do I admire the ADL for this levelheaded report. From the JTA:

An analysis of Internet musings by Jared Lee Loughner dismisses speculation that he may have targeted U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords because she is Jewish. An analysis of Internet musings by Jared Lee Loughner dismisses speculation that he may have targeted U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords because she is Jewish.

“In the end, the writings so far revealed seem to indicate no particular leanings about race, and it is difficult to come away from the postings with such a conclusion,” according to the analysis published Tuesday by the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL analysis also said that the writings do not “point to a particular ideology or belief system.” 

Oh and both the ADL and J Street have scored Sarah Palin for her use of the term “blood libel” to describe the very-legitimate criticisms of her use of gun-sights on a map to target congress members she wanted her supporters to remove from office.
