"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."

(Video included)

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"?

BTW, terrorist/terrorism:
"is violence against civilians to achieve political or ideological objectives by creating fear..."
www.wikipedia.odjechane.net/en/wiki/Terrorism.html

"is defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or ..."
www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/alqaeda/glossary.html

webster dictionnary
"ter·ror·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈter-ər-ˌi-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1795
: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion"

UGH.

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'd really like to see some of his Harvard writings and the paper he wrote on Nuclear Disarmament.

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.
