Sarah Palin Condones Domestic Terrorism by Anti-Abortionists

MARK KARLIN'S EDITOR'S BLOG

October 26

There’s no way around it.

Yes, you can parse words, but when Sarah Palin can’t call anti-abortionist killers domestic terrorists, you have a vice-presidential candidate who – along with her support for the secessionist and neo-Confederate Alaskan Independence Party – is indeed a true supporter of domestic terrorism and anti-American activities.

Murderers of medical personnel and clinic staffs who provide abortion have websites, as you know, with lists of names of people – primarily doctors – to be shot. When Brian Williams of NBC asked Palin if such murderers were domestic terrorists, she danced around the question by first, yet again, bringing up Bill Ayers and then – while she had time to think about how to code her support of the anti-abortion killers – deny that they were terrorists.

This is perhaps the most underreported (except for some Internet sites), shocking, and threatening to U.S. security exchange of the election (along with the widely overlooked and documented strong relationship between the anti-U.S. Alaskan Independence Party secessionists and the Palins).

If you don’t believe us, watch the video, as they say.

Palin begins her answer with an exasperated sigh, recites her Ayers talking points for the 1000th time, and then finally returns to the question by using coded words that are well known to violent anti-abortion extremists. She "sort of, maybe" finds the killing of "innocents" not right, but she says firmly "I don’t know if you are going to use the word terrorist there." And, be reminded, that to the criminal anti-abortion fringe, doctors and nurses who perform abortions are not "innocent Americans"; they are murderers to the likes of Sarah Palin.

This is no hyperbolic rant on the part of BuzzFlash. This is an extraordinary danger sign that we have a potential president – given the state of McCain’s health – who is sympathetic to the murder of healthcare professionals who support abortion.

Yes, some people may give Palin the benefit of the doubt on this one, but are doing so at grave risk to the rule of law and the enabling of murder. For us to write this blog will sound "over the top" to some, but just look at what Palin says and how she says it, and read the violent anti-abortion sites to know what she means by "innocents."

She does not consider conspiratorial murderers of Americans for a political cause terrorists. That should disqualify her from holding any elective office in the United States and put her on a watch list.

But it didn’t even break through the radar of the mainstream media, although Brian Williams is to be commended for asking the question.

As we noted before, terrorists are an issue in this race, and their enablers and pals are running on the GOP ticket.

Afternote: Remember that John McCain continues to brag about his relationship with G. Gordon Liddy who has encouraged people to shoot law enforcement officials, among other violent anti-American acts.

abortion

there are many reasons for abortion, whether teenage parents who are unable to take care of their child, or people who could not afford to take care of thier child. but most of the infants in the united states are not killed by it. they are, instead, killed by malnutriton and being born into poverty.

Murderers?

"And, be reminded, that to the criminal anti-abortion fringe, doctors and nurses who perform abortions are not "innocent Americans"; they are murderers to the likes of Sarah Palin." This may well be true, but don't forget that in our system of justice, even accused murderers are entitled to a fair trial, not vigilante "justice." "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!" - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Palin as terrorist...

I have no doubt in my mind that this woman will be one of the worst of domestic terrorists, should she get a taste of the massive amount of power placed into a president's hands. (Don't forget that melanoma-mccain is a walking dead man). She will do more damage than bush's little brain could even imagine. Her abuse of power as a governor presages more serious abuses should the mccain/palin ticket win (or steal) the election. Also remember that she is a fervent, if not rabid, "end of times" believer, and that to people of like belief armageddon is a "good" thing. She has no fear of doing wrong because all she has to do is renew her allegiance to jebus, her lord and savior. Be very afraid of a republican win on November 4, and VOTE DEMOCRAT AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT ........ BECAUSE IT DOES!

no way no how no maverick!

How sad that "my religion your religion" has now crawled up to the steps of the white house. Who are we as human beings to judge anyone? There are so many reasons abortions are done - incest, severe fetus deformities, mothers living in poverty who simply cannot bring up another child, rape victims, danger to a mother's life, etc. If any one of us were in that situation, how could we say what we would do? It is a sad situation all around. However, the bottom line is that the choices are made and the procedures done. It would seem that judement should be left to God alone. Extremists who murder "in the name of God" or whatever "religious" path they pretend to follow, are hypocrites in the deepest sense. Killing a doctor or bombing an abortion clinic is terrorism, period. There is no other way to put it, no argument that will support it. There is no difference whatsoever of a suicide bomber in Iraq or someone who blows up an abortion clinic or murders a doctor. No difference. Let's hope the maverick-ess doesn't end up in the white house ...

Hey come on now...

They're only terrorists when they're acting against what you believe in, don't cha know...

Yet another revealing look into the plastic head of Caribou Barbie. And here you thought all you would find is air. Nope there's some damn scary stuff in there, you betcha...

God help us if this "dipstick in lipstick" (thanks for adding to my list, kjlovell) woman ever gets to a real position of power over this country.

Excellent Paul Harvey reference, mckathiki, thanks...

Murder?

I would imagine that if someone took Sarah Palin, or any of the anti-woman terrorists, to an abortion clinic and made them witness a standard procedure; and then took them home and shot their actual babies in the head, they would see a difference. That's what we are dealing with in the real world; babies in Iraq having their heads blown up, children starving to death, and dying of preventable diseases all over Africa and the rest of the world. These anti-woman terrorists are immoral hypocrites on the highest level. Real human life has no value to them. Their opinions are meaningless.

Reminds me of a great Paul Harvey commentary...

years ago (Yes, that Paul Harvey, the conservative commentator) who had an excellent piece about the anti-abortion ("Pro-Life") movement. The centerpiece of his comment, as I remember it, was a poor woman in the projects in a U.S. city, who had given birth to an unwanted child and eventually threw the toddler out of a high rise window for changing the channel on the T.V. Mr. Harvey called this "post-birth abortion" and wanted to know where the pro-lifers were for this desperately poor, uneducated woman and her child. He went on to ask pro-lifers how many unwanted, abused and neglected children they were personally fostering or adopting. I will never forget his comments because the position he was taking was unexpected and because his poignant, quiet outrage about what happened to that toddler caused me to cry while I drove down the road listening to him. Even Paul Harvey saw through these self-righteous hypocrites who seek to deny women the right to control their own bodies. That was 20 years ago - how can we still be having this debate today? And how can anyone anywhere feel that Palin should be in any position of authority, let alone a step away from the Presidency?

VERY WELL STATED!

...and BUSH

worst of all.

THE TROUBLED MIND OF THE DIPSTICK IN LIPSTICK...

A look into a mentally ill mind of the DIPSTICK IN LIPSTICK. Another wacko, that is able to justify very UNCHRISTIAN actions as long as she's waving her bible. These KKKristian KKKrazies are only pro life if it is an unborn child, after that - not so much. If the unborn child turns out poor - they would let it starve. If the unborn child lives to college age - they don't care if it can afford a GOOD education. If that poor unborn child that can't afford a college education and decides to go to the military - VERY MUCH NOT SO PRO LIFE if there is an illegal, immoral war of greed. When you use your religion to justify illegal behavior - it is no longer religion - it is religous extreemism. A religious extreemist in any country is scary.

Sarah,bible thumping and

Sarah,bible thumping and right wingnut church wacko, thinks it is just fine to send her son to Iraq to kill innocent people that are in an egregiously, illegal and immoral war for economic interests, but of course, that is okay with her. Sarah and her base are nothing more than a churchianity, terrorist, party hiding behind the bible and the American flag when it suits their vested interests.

Not too surprising...

These people are solely focused on power. If they agree with something it's right, if they disagree it's wrong. What you or I believe has no relevance at all. What's legal or illegal has no relevance at all. Justice means nothing; only victory for their God. Even their Bible means nothing; they are perfectly happy to pick and choose passages they want to support (e.g., anti-homosexuality) while ignoring anything they don't care for (such as food restrictions or the stoning of disrespectful children). When challenged, they will protest that they're following the "Prince of Peace" or "Those aren't real Christians". I know these people are probably small minorities, but until mainstream Christians start challenging this crap, I'll feel justified in bringing it up. Sorry, but being labeled "traitor", "unamerican", and "elitist" over and over by these idiots is starting to make me a tad cranky.

McCrackpot/Palin/Bush are All Terrorists

McCrackpot/Palin/Bush are all terrorists.i have stated this in other blogs here.Bush has issued threats to Iraq and Iran and said he would bomb them..Right?..Then those statements are "terroristic threats" making Bush a terrorist.McCrackpot has been singing "Bomb,Bomb,Bomb..Bomb,Bomb Iran"..That makes him have a terroristic attitude.He can say that was all in fun but it is no laughing mastter.If someone came to your house and threatened to harm you the law would say that is a terroristic threat to you.So Bush and his cabal are guilty as charged. .Think about the Iraqui and Iranian people and someone saying they want to bomb them. That is terrorism.So that makes McCain/Palin/Bush-- who are following in the policies of Bush so McCain says he wants to--the REAL TERRORISTS.Why doesnt the FBI do something about this? We are having to put up with the Rethug Party as a terrorist party.Yet some of these Rethugs, including the Bush/McCain Crime Family claim they are "of god".Balderdash.THESE THUGS NEED TO BE LOCKED UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY TO THE JAIL HOUSE. A 10-year-old can figure this one out !!

SHOCKING

What a frightening look into this woman's mind. What would she call abortion clinic bombers then, prayer-warriors? Chilling.

Hey, The Christian Church has a LONG Tradition of It

Forcible conversion of native populations, systematically torturing people for differing dogmas, encouraging or actively participating in genocide, leading Middle East invasions, book burnings, stifling freedom of thought, whipping up mob violence to crush dissent, racism, homophobia, misogyny - the history of Christianity is a history of death and destruction "In Our White Male God's Name".

All the horrifying things Islamic extremists do now - they learned from us Christians, since Islam started out as a Christian offshoot, after all. Osama bin Laden, the Iranian Ayatollahs and Muqtada al-Sadr are just proudly showing off what good students they've been of our ways of being Good Christians, after all....

I agree...

that religious extremists have always existed. What's shocking is that there's one dressed up as a hockey-mom who's this close to becoming the most powerful person on the planet. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Terrorists

If Palin is not prepared to use the word terrorist she could at the very least use the words murderers, attempted murderers, arsonists or some such. Her stance shows that she condones criminal activity - if that activity could further her agenda. This sets her in the mainstream of the party which spawned Watergate, the Iran contra affair and the activities of Gordon Liddy.
