Palin: "So when i used the n-word, I meant it in a different way"
<satire alert>

"You see, when I used the n-word, I didn't mean it in the derogatory sense like the media is trying to make it sound. The n-word has been used throughout history, it's a take-off on the work negro. I think the critics again were using anything that they could gather out of that statement," she said. "You can spin up anything out of anybody's statements that are released and use them against the person who is making the statement."

1. What did she actually say that you're playing off of?

2. Her explanation for her "blood libel" comment

I lifted the last part of my satirical post directly from her.

<snip>
Speaking out for the first time since she used the term in a video, Palin said on Fox's Sean Hannity show that the term referred to those "falsely accused of having blood on their hands."

Some Jewish groups strongly protested her use of the term, which historically was used to accuse Jews of using blood of Christians in religious rituals.

"I think the critics again were using anything that they could gather out of that statement," she said. "You can spin up anything out of anybody's statements that are released and use them against the person who is making the statement."
