Sarah Palin doesn't know whether Americans who bomb abortion clinics to intimidate their patients and staff are terrorists. It's not terrorism until it threatens the elites in the federal government. Regular American women and their doctors, sure, go get 'em. Don't you worry about going to Guantanamo.
PALIN: (Sigh). There’s no question that Bill Ayers via his own admittance was one who sought to destroy our U.S. Capitol and our Pentagon. That is a domestic terrorist. There’s no question there. Now, others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities that uh, it would be unacceptable. I don’t know if you’re going to use the word terrorist there.
(Sigh) is right. Plus, I think, (eyeroll).
Admittance? Obviously, there are some people who learn language by ear and others who learn by sight, but it's odd that Palin speaks as though she belongs to the former group, considering that she reads all the newspapers (including a vast variety of sources).

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
Well -- at least she gets to keep the clothes as a lovely parting gift.

That one sure burned me up. We can't turn the page on her soon enough for me.
Dear Gov. Palin: to paraphrase Don Pardo*, "you don't get to come back next cycle. You don't even get a lousy copy of the home game. You're a complete loser!"

Rev Spitz, per his website, thinks Paul Hill is an American hero, with Eric Rudolph not far behind in that category. No point in arguing with him.

I closed my eyes, said Rev Spitz's prayer, and clicked my heels three times, but when I opened up my eyes my sins apparently hadn't been taken away, 'cause Sarah Palin is still around. I gotta tell ya, if eternal life includes the likes of her I don't want any part of it.

cyclist, I deleted the comment, as I considered it spam. "I condone murder! Look at my website!"

Wow, so now terrorism is okay as long as the people being terrorized (and shot, and murdered) are people with whom you disagree?
Not sure there is any legal precedent for that. Certainly not under British or American law. American law as it was until recently, I mean.

That's nothing new. You are Terrorists. We are Freedom Fighters. Palestine in the forties (particularly before the creation of the state of Israel), Nicaragua in the eighties, here and now.
