Brian Williams: Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist under this definition?

Sarah Palin: (Exasperated sigh.) There’s no question that Bill Ayers by his own admittance was one who thought to destroy our U.S. Capitol and our Pentagon. That is a domestic terrorist. There is no question there. Now others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities that it would be unacceptable to, I don’t know if you’re gonna use the word "terrorist" there.

Barack Obama, the first black major-party nominee, is positioned to win the largest share of white voters of any Democrat in more than three decades, according to an exclusive Politico analysis of recent Gallup and Pew Research Center polling.

The most recent two weeks of Gallup polling, which includes roughly 13,000 interviews, show 44 percent of non-Hispanic white voters presently support Obama — the highest number for a Democrat since 47 percent of whites backed Jimmy Carter in 1976.

How Sarah Palin can honestly say that she doesn't consider these acts of terrorism is mind-boggling. She is a despicable human being.
I fail to understand your anger here. Those acts were commited by criminals. Why are you so hung up on a definition.

I'll give you my reasons...

McCain has spent the better part of his campaign associating the word "terrorism" to "Barrack Obama". The fact that she won't use the word terrorist, when she uses that term probably 20 times a day, is quite frankly infuriating to me.

No, they were committed by T-E-R-R-O-R-I-S-T-S.

My anger is that Sarah Palin refuses to call people who have bombed, stabbed or shot doctors or patients for engaging in abortion terrorists. She has no problem implying that Barack Obama is a terrorist because of something Bill Ayers did 40 years ago, but she isn't going to recognize these anti-abortion crazies for what they are?

If they are not trying to infer this, what is the motivation of the following sent to Missouri residents:

Nobody has called Obama a terrorist, but based on some of the emails I receive from family and people that I know it's scary how they have made the connection.

McCain campaign officials/aides concerned that Palin is "going rogue," ie, going off message in order to position herself for future political power at the expense of the current campaign:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/25/ ... index.html

Highest paid McCain campaign employee: Palin's makeup artist.

With 10 days to go, that campaign has flown off the rails.

If I were McCain, I'd use these 10 days to restore my integrity and honor. Step 1: New VP candidate.
