"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.

A pipe bomb was neutralized in front of the Planned Parenthood when I was just out of college.

"It wasn't a cherry bomb, or a stink bomb - it was a pipe bomb, and it was intended to blow the door off the hinges, break out the windows, and cause serious injury"

"You can disagree and say that you don't think Sarah Palin is "ignorant," but I don't think that makes the original poster a "name caller."

For the purpose of TOS, I would certainly hope it is okay to call a public candidate ignorant even if it is not okay to call a fellow poster ignorant.


For example, Palin made fun of fruitfly research as frivolous in a recent speech on autism.

I am wondering why you are questioning her calling Gov Palin ignorant when the tag line of you signature is "

REPUBLICAN...Because everyone can't be on Welfare"
