"Q: Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist, under this definition, governor?
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."

UGH UGH UGH. There are no words for the disgust I have for this woman. Anyone want to explain to me how clinic bombing ISN'T terrorism? Is this supposed to be her pandering to her "base"?

"is defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or ..."

I don't expect anyone to be perfect in their writing or even their speaking, but it is generally nice to be able to understand what is being said or written. But that is beside the point. Why did you not address my actual questions to you? Did I understand your post correctly or was I mistaken? Did you really mean to come across that way? The fact that you didn't clarify anything makes me think the answer is "yes."
Also, what am I blind to "except "? And how do you know that I am blind to anything when you know nothing about me?
ETA: Oops, I wasn't paying close enough attention and mixed up my threads, so I had to fix some things.

you are becoming very very very offense in your posts
One could very well say the same to you, especially with that last post to me.
~He is truly making a fool out of his supporters.
McCain says people don't have to be scared about having Obama as president.
i believe my questions are valid and referring to your support of Palin.
"I feel the exact same way about Obama, the one who continues to hide documents from the American people.
