[Politics/Religion]Palin: Abortion clinic bombers aren't terrorists

*vagina*

Weird:

I saw this a couple of times and thought 'No Big Deal', but then I heard it on the radio and thought 'WTF did she just say?'

Perhaps the twin distractions of seeing McCain look like a guy who just put his last 500 bucks on the table and rolled big *8==>* on the come out round and more than idly wondering what really is going on under those high collars and padded shoulders  was a little much.

Now that I actually heard what she just said, I guarantee it never, ever occurred to her in her WHOLE LIFE that there was anything wrong with bombing an abortion clinic other than you might get caught. The thought that it's terrorism is so far away that she really can't comprehend it.

This isn't an isolated thought among certain types of fundamentalist "Christians' either. I once had dinner with a woman who bitched that the local clinic had gotten caller ID and was monitoring the incoming calls, making it harder to phone in bomb threats, and the fact is that multiple bomber Eric Rudolph was pretty much hiding in plain sight in western North Carolina until some rookie cop who didn't get the memo screwed the whole thing up.

I've heard other elected Republicans utter the same kind of thing, although not nearly so brazenly, but I always chalked that up to cynicism on their part, an appeal to The Base.

Not her, it's actual news to her that trying to acheive a political end through violence is exactly the same kind of thing Al Qaeda and others have done for centuries, but it doesn't count because (mostly) white Christian people aren't EVER 'Terrorists'.

Some are calling her 'The Future Of The Republican Party'. If that's the case, I am very, very afraid for America.
