This is my answer is as well. (Well, pretty much. Without the Jewish background. I'm probably skewing the sample a bit. Though not a medievalist, I have more medieval background than the average person and have close friends whose research interests flirt with Jewish Studies.)
'blood libel' pings as something that Sarah Palin shouldn't be throwing about and something to do with anti-Semitism, but I don't connect immediately it to the killing babies thing. I don't have the biblical reference at all, which was getting me really confused when that was the reference being given in various articles. I kept thinking, "I should know this. I do know this somewhere and that's not it."
