"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"?

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"

I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
Well, actually you said
"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.
