When a Terrorist is Not a Terrorist
When he or she agrees with your point of view, of course. Sarah's latest piece of interview fun.
We've all heard Gov. Palin complain about Bill "domestic terrorist" Ayers. So when asked by Brian Williams in an interview if that term also applies to conservative religious activists who bombed abortion clinics, Sarah's response was, of course: "I don’t know if you’re going to use the word ‘terrorist’ there."
I'm sure those domestic bombers are only just trying to "warm up" medical waiting rooms to keep everyone comfortable.

one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, but i doubt palin does nuance. she's GW bush in a valentino skirt, after all.
I still don't understand why bombing the Pentagon would be "terrorism". Doesn't terrorism senselessly target civilians? (Like rice farmers and young kids in poor countries like Vietnam.)
So karlo is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Palin.
karlo is more in line with the conventional definition of terrorism (though like buckaroo said, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter).
According to Palin's definition, the Towers going down wasn't an act of terrorism, nor are any of the suicide bombings that afflict Israel.
I wonder if Israel is willing to submit to that definition.
