Palin doesn't think abortion bombers are terrorists?
from dailykos:

Palin: 'I Don't Know' If Abortion Clinic Bombers Are Terrorists
by Jed L
Fri Oct 24, 2008 at 09:45:02 AM PDT

The buffoonish nature of Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy has mostly been a disaster for the McCain-Palin campaign, but it is has delivered at least one benefit: her foibles have helped obscure the true nature of her right-wing extremism.

But now, Sarah Palin's self-destructive behavior is threatening to expose even that. In an interview broadcast yesterday on NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams asked Palin whether she felt abortion clinic bombers were terrorists.

Amazingly, she said that she didn't know. MSNBC reports (emphasis added):

Palin resisted the suggestion that if Ayers was a "domestic terrorist" — a standard line in her campaign addresses — then so were conservative religious activists who bombed abortion clinics.

"I don’t know if you’re going to use the word ‘terrorist’ there," she said.

1. Of course not - God's on their side...

2. That's because they're doing God's will against evil abortionists.
That's how she sees it anyway. She is unable to separate her religious views from reality. Scary.

4. Well now. The only people that the Weather Underground killed were their own accidentally.
Could the same be said of Abortion Clinic bombers?

Not f***ing likely.

6. I cannot believe she said that. Every time I think she couldn't be worse, she proves me wrong.

8. This is a person who has never given a second of thought to ANYTHING. Remember "I didn't blink"???
when asked about VP spot on Crash's ticket?

This is a person who assumes her mind and "God's" mind are the same thing, no questions asked, because it isn't necessary to ask questions.

THE PERFECT BLASPHEMING EMPTY VESSEL FOR TRANS-NATIONAL CORPORATE ROYALTY.

Man Gets 40 Years After Planting Bomb At Women's Clinic
Updated: Oct 19, 2007 05:05 PM CDT

A judge on Friday sentenced a man to 40 years in prison after he admitted to planting a bomb outside an Austin clinic that performs abortions.

Police arrested Paul Ross Evans, 27, in April (2007) after they found a makeshift bomb in the parking lot of the Austin Women's Clinic.

The nail-filled bomb never went off, and no one was hurt in the incident, but the SWAT team was called out to dispose of it.

Evans pleaded guilty to attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. Evans faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.

11. she simply dodged the question, didnt deny it
I watched the entire thing and you could just as easily argue she conceded it was terrorism.

She refused to simply apply the language, which was the point of the question. Instead, she basically said they don't support that violence, etc.

Personally... i hope the media gives them a hard time on that issue.
