Palin:"Book burning is antithetical to American ideals--much like building a mosque at Ground Zero."
Sarah Palin is speaking out against a plan put forth by a Florida-based church to burn Qurans on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The former Alaska governor outlined her position on the contentious issue in a message posted to her Facebook page Wednesday evening.

"Book burning is antithetical to American ideals," she wrote. "People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation -- much like building a mosque at Ground Zero."

1. We'd make an exception for your book, numbnuts.
Not that you've ever actually read what you "wrote".

3. Because building a religious center is a lot like burning someone else's religious publication.
I would LOVE to have a debate with Palin over a couple of beers. Even AFTER two and a half years of her handlers teaching her about the world I'd wax the floor with her.

5. You'd need to have the beers just to keep a straight face.
There would be no debate. Debates involve critical thinking and rudimentary communication skills. She does/has neither.

6. antithetical...
She's still in the A's... but at least she's picked up a dictionary.

I think Palin's ideals are antithetical to American ideals. I'm a little more than sick and tired of hearing her and her ilk discuss American anything, and damn tired of the audacity to think they understand what Americans want.

9. There's no way that Palin wrote that.
Too literate, too coherent. No invented words. I call BS.
