Palin: 'I Don't Know' If Abortion Clinic Bombers Are Terrorists

By 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.



Here's the video: http://www.alternet.org/election08/104590/palin%3A_%27i_don%27t_know%27_if_abortion_clinic_bombers_are_terrorists/


Palin's answer is perhaps the single most incredible thing I've heard from any candidate during this entire general election campaign, and I don't make that statement lightly. .......(more)

1. Did she comment on the Oklahoma City bombing?
Those terrorists shared ideology with her own husband, from what we've heard!

2. This Lady Dog Whistles With The Best Of 'Em
That Williams interview was her pitch for 2012...and to make her the big "hero" of the religious right. No matter if the campaign is going to hell (that was Gramps fault), no matter how little she knows about the Constitution (that's not needed when one knows their bible) and no matter how tone deaf she is about reality (who cares when one is "full of the holy spirit")...she's out there talking to her "flock"...setting the stage for her post 11/4 life.
