It's not terrorism when I agree with it

[midway]

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.

Intriguing, so bombing empty buildings to make a political statement is terrorism, but bombing and killing people to make one isn't? If McCain wins I'll pray to every possible deity every day of his term that he lives to see the next morning.

Good god. What is she thinking.

 

[jonks]

she's never been accused of being a deep thinker

 

[StageLeft]

If McCain is the target, Palin was the missile, and a very accurate one.

 

[Throckmorton]

So what is her definition of a terrorist?

This is mindboggling. The interviewer made a comparison between Ayers and abortion clinic bombers, and for no reason she said that abortion clinic bombers aren't terrorists, but doesn't regret calling Ayers one. Which is it? Did she just not understand the comparison?

 

[fskimospy]

Hey look, Palin said something new and stupid. Again, I'm having trouble to muster anything more than a disappointed sigh at this point.

 

[OrByte]

maybe this is the full quote:

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. ?It?s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch. But if what you?re asking is if I regret referring to Bill Ayers as an unrepenting domestic terrorist, I don?t regret characterizing him as that.?


I think she could have made a more convincing argument that abortion clinic bombers are in fact terrorists. But she meanders to the point saying it's "unacceptable"

She should have just said "YES" if the question posed was in fact: Are abortion clinic bombers terrorists?

I think maybe in her head she was looking for a way to get back to tying Obama to Ayers. I just don't think she is a "quick thinker". McCain has exhibited more "quick-thinking" than she, and he is an old fart!!

The only people killed in Weatherman bombings were themselves.

 

[LumbergTech]

of course she cant say this, are you familiar with the assembly of god church?

if you are , you would know where their sympathies lie

book burning, cd breaking, humiliation about masturbation (god knows if you are doing it, so beware!!)

militantly anti-abortion while at the same time creating pseudo-religious zombies

I think it was mentioned in an earlier thread that a San Francisco cop got killed in one. There were also two people (a janitor and a grad student) killed in the bombing of the math center at UW-Madison, but I don't know if that was Weatherman bombing or some fellow travelers.

Did you notice how McCain had to jump in later (after Palin ducked the question) and made it clear that abortion center bombings, doctor killings, etc. are also terrorism and as President he would enforce all the laws? Kudos to him for that position.

I imagine that in the future there may be a phrase that goes something like "Man, he was doing great, but then he really picked a Palin!"

Welcome to the world of politics. You realize most, including posters here, dismiss Ayers as "hisotry" but then jump up at Palins statement? Its a case, as it so often is, of whats good for the goose is NOT good for the gander.

 

[CADsortaGUY]

I wonder if these supposed bombers were "respected" members of the community and had done it "years ago" if they should be called terrorists...

 

[ohnoes]

labeling ayers as history and being amused @ the irony of Palin's statement are not mutually exclusive. try again.

I don't know, did they become a preeminent source on education reform & a professor?

Probably not but is being a professor absolve one from being a terrorist? What is the standard for absolution since there seems to be one for Ayers?

Hey genius, Ayers isn't running for VP.

Looks like you are leaping to another conclusion - just like you did with your ""McCain volunteer attacked and mutilated in Pittsburgh "" thread.

Try again.

maybe jumping to conclusions is better than lying like you did with your attempted apologism.

Roll your eyes like that and you may get dizzy. Nice try with the strawman and all, but what it means is Palin considers people who blow up statues and buildings to make a political point without killing anyone "terrorists", while those who blow up abortion clinics filled with doctors and pregnant women to make a political point "not terrorists."

are you deliberately obtuse or is it accidental, I'm really curious. You think HHBB was saying what the Weathermen did was ok? Or maybe he was pointing out Palin's ridiculous stance...hmm.

That's not it at all. It's the fact that she's blatantly hypocritical. Were she to say that abortion clinic bombers were terrorists this wouldn't be an issue. If she thinks Ayers is a terrorist she should be willing to state that clinic bombers are also terrorists, or vice versa. What you're claiming I'm doing with this thread is exactly what SHE is doing "It's terrorism if they do it, but if we do it it's not"

 

[PepePeru]

the people at the Boston Tea Party were terrorists.

Apologism, CAD?

Sarah Palin refused to condemn abortion clinic bombings where people have been killed and maimed. She declined to denounce them as 'domestic terrorists'.

You are putting words in my mouth that are not there.

Can you see which finger I'm directing to you?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Ok Caribou Barbie, why are the people in the middle east who strap bombs to themselves and blow up coffee shops, clothing shops, etc classified as terrorists, whereas you're implying that people who bomb abortion clinics aren't terrorists in the true definition, but instead, just mean people.
You are a fucking joke palin, you embarass yourself (if possible) and every citizen of the US when you open your mouth and spew out this pandering rhetoric that anyone with double digit IQ's can discern as bullshit. Clearly you don't fall in that category.
Fuck off palin, you are a joke and a total used douchebag.

whoa there junior - I did not say he said it was "ok". However, he did try to lessen it with his comments that happen to be totally false anyway.
