Palin: 'I Don't Know' If Abortion Clinic Bombers Are TerroristsBy Jed L,
Daily Kos. Posted October 25, 2008.
Palin gives a wink and a nod to right-wing extremists, with whom she shares radical views about the reproductive rights of women.The buffoonish nature of Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy has mostly been a disaster for the McCain-Palin campaign, but it is has delivered at least one benefit: her foibles have helped obscure the true nature of her right-wing extremism.
But now, Sarah Palin's self-destructive behavior is threatening to expose even that. In an interview broadcast yesterday on NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams asked Palin whether she felt abortion clinic bombers were terrorists.
Amazingly, she said that she didn't know. MSNBC reports (emphasis added):
Palin resisted the suggestion that if Ayers was a "domestic terrorist" -- a standard line in her campaign addresses -- then so were conservative religious activists who bombed abortion clinics.
"I don't know if you're going to use the word 'terrorist' there," she said.
