Actual Text of Sarah Palin's "Blood-Libel" Comment

MSNBC, The Washington Post, and other leftwing media are attempting to spin Sarah Palin's rebuttal of their attempts to link Palin to the Arizona shooting tragedy last Saturday.  As I noted earlier, they are focusing on her term "blood libel" in an attempt to discredit Palin's rebuttal.

So what did Palin say that was so horrible?  Decide for yourself.  Here is the exact wording that she used:
Vigorous and spirited public debates during elections are among our most cherished traditions. And after the election, we shake hands and get back to work, and often both sides find common ground back in D.C. and elsewhere. If you don’t like a person’s vision for the country, you’re free to debate that vision. If you don’t like their ideas, you’re free to propose better ideas. But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.
How is this statement untrue in any way?  It isn't.  See the complete text of her speech here.
