"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."

I certainly never took your words out of context as I simply copied and pasted your exact words.
Oh, and for your question about blowing up (or terrorizing as you put it)
>Barack Obama is not a socialist, but IMO there is nothing wrong with socialism.<
How can you maintain that Obama is not a socialist?
>Our country is actually founded on a lot of different ideas, some of which could be considered communist.<
Which foundational ideas are considered communist?
>i believe my questions are valid and referring to your support of Palin.
>He has given us everything he needs to.<
I'd really like to see some of his Harvard writings and the paper he wrote on Nuclear Disarmament.
>It's the same line of thinking that takes place in rallies where their voters yell, "Kill him!
Palin had an opportunity there and she blew it.
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
Well, you can google Palin Rallies and find a handful of examples where you can hear the people in the background.
