Sarah Palin sez: "Women's health clinic bombers are not terrorists!"

[ck4829]

Brian Williams asked Sarah Palin if “an abortion clinic bomber (is) a terrorist under this definition” and she answered, “Now others who would to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities, I don’t know if you’re gonna use the word ‘terrorist’ there, but it’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned of course on our watch.”

As others have noted, it’s disturbing that after 7 murders, 17 attempted murders, 41 bombings, 175 acts of arson and hundreds of cases of death threats, stalking, assault, and break-ins, Palin doesn’t think it’s appropriate to use the T-word.

But what has been mostly overlooked is the fact that the comments by Palin, a self-described “hardcore pro-lifer,” run contrary to the longstanding position of American law enforcement.

For instance, the FBI has long considered acts of violence by radical anti-abortion activists to be domestic terrorism. In its 2002-2005 Terrorism in the United States report, Eric Rudolph – the man responsible for two abortion clinic bombings, the Olympic Park bombing, multiple deaths and serious injuries to many more – is described as falling into the “FBI’s 'lone offender' category of terrorist for those who engage in terrorist activities free from organizational guidance.”

The FBI defines domestic terrorism, logically enough, as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or its territories without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” In other words, Palin is out of step with the FBI.

1. palin thinks

that doctors who perform abortions, and the women who obtain abortions, are murderers. i don't doubt that she is all for bombing clinics. she's just barely smart enough not to say so on national television.

[and-justice-for-all]

2. She is a supporter of domestic terrorism...nt

[gollygee]

3. Dog whistle to the abortion clinic bombers

"I'm OK with that."

[MonteLukast]

4. Arrrrgh...

:nuke:

[MonteLukast]

5. Because they're not terrorists if you agree with their mission.

Unlike any socialists who might want to make their point with bombs, like Bill Ayers.

[Solly Mack]

6. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out she corresponds with Eric Rudolph

[fasttense]

7. I betcha the families of the doctors and women

pro-lifers have murdered, think of pro-lifers as terrorists, and also there.

[JI7]

8. this should become bigger news , is there a way to get the media on this ?

[Democat]

9. In this case it's 100% true, "Palin hates us for our freedoms!"

Usually that line is bullshit, but in this case, in the case of the vice presidential candidate for the Republicans, it's true.

Palin hates Americans for their freedom of choice.

10. I'll have to take their word for it about what she meant.

That quote from her makes absolutely no sense at all.

15. Reminds me of this:

Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! So tell me puppet... where... is... Shrek?
Pinocchio: Uh. Hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not
Prince Charming: You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect.
Prince Charming: So you do know where he is!
Pinocchio: On the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably
Prince Charming: Stop it!
Pinocchio: ...do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was

Pinocchio: That'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't.

11. I guess they're not "terrists" if they're white and shake bibles in their fists

[Dorian Gray]

12. She's an idiot

That's all I can really say about her.

UGH!

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

13. I guess they're not "terrorists" if they're done here in the US of A

She only think Terrorists acts only happen in Iraq..

[Deep13]

14. It's terrorism if it's a bank, I guess. nt

16. McCain sided with domestic terrorists targeting abortion clinics in the 90s.

This is so incredibly disturbing. Why this was not brought up during the Ayers attacks is puzzling. Williams didn't ask McCain about it in the interview when the subect of abortion clinic violence was brought up which I think is inexcusable.

That Palin would not classify clinic bombers as terrorists disgusts me beyond belief. She is a RW loon who is dangerous as hell.

McCain's terrorism problem dates back to the early 1990s, when he sided with right-wing domestic terrorists and voted against tough new legislation cracking down on a wave of anti-choice domestic terrorism targeting women who visited abortion clinics, their doctors, and clinic staff.

At the time, right-wing anti-choice extremists were terrorizing women, doctors, and clinic staff across the United States with thousands of acts of physical violence and threats of violence each year. The new legislation was necessary because in early 1993, the Supreme Court had ruled that even though the terrorism crossed state lines, the federal government could not protect clinics without a specific grant of statutory authority.

After Dr. David Gunn was murdered by an anti-choice terrorist outside the Pensacola Women's Medical Services clinic, Congress finally passed the much-needed legislation giving authorities the tool they needed to protect women, doctors, and clinic staff from the ongoing threat of terrorism.

Most Americans welcomed the new law -- even including far-right conservatives such as Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell. Nonetheless, John McCain stood by his extremist views and opposed the anti-terror bill. http://www.jedreport.com/2008/04/john-mccains-do.html

19. REALLY bad Palin joke. I ONLY use it in this context.

I'm serious, it is an evil awful ugly joke. I hold this woman in complete and total contempt and I can hardly wait until we no longer are forced to endure her ideological jihad on choice. When choice is not an option woman die. IT is THAT simple.

May Sarah Palin spend eternity in a cheap tacky condo in hell overlooking the lake of fire.




And now for the most offensive joke that I reserve for her:

















How is Sarah Palin's mouth NOT like her vagina?


















Not EVERYTHING that comes out of her vagina is retarded.
