Palin is a Domestic Terrorist

Sarah Palin referring to Barak Obama's acquaintance with Bill Ayers as "palling around with domestic terrorists" is deplorable. It is irresponsible, offensive, and in my mind, it amounts to an act of domestic terrorism. If sitting in the Whitehouse no matter how unqualified you might be... If being so desperate to win an election that you would resort to what amounts to grade school mud slinging... If attempting to catapult yourself into a position that could, due to your ignorance, jeopardize the safety and well being of every American citizen is not an act of domestic terrorism, than I don't know what is.

Her feeble attempt to discredit Barak Obama by associating his name with the word "terrorist" is an overt act of racism that the Republican Party must denounce. It is an attempt to get people to associate Barak Obama with Islamic extremists (who by the way don't reflect the views of all Muslims), and play on a fear and contempt that many Americans have towards Arabs due to 911. A fear and contempt that aside from being greatly exaggerated, spills over to other groups who fit into stereotypical essentialist biological categories of "race" associated with an outdated archaic definition of the word. The Republican base finds this perfectly acceptable and even laudable, but if Joe Biden or Barak Obama were to make a statement that through spin and tweaking and manipulation could be made to sound sexist -like "pigs with lipstick"- then they cry foul.

Does Sarah Palin not realize that the majority in America will soon be the minority? Maybe not, she lives in Alaska!!!! She does not identify with any ethnic or religious minority in the country, which by the nature and make up of a 2008-2012 and beyond America means that she doesn't identify with America. Hint... hint... unless you are a conservative Christian white woman from a culturally/socially/politically/economically monolithic place, then she doesn't know who the hell you are... nor does she seem to possess the intelligence to learn. Well, she did learn that one speech real well, as she shows by repeating it every time she's in front of a crowd...

...I digress... furthermore... what kind of Christian ethic does this woman represent... I am a Christian, and political preferences aside, I am ashamed whenever she talks about her faith... not just because her faith is ill informed, many of us can stake that claim unfortunately... but the most basic characteristics of the Christian faith should expound humility, kindness, gentleness, compassion, peace... Sarah Palin is arrogant, divisive, coarse, and offensive.

These are the facts Palin, "Saturday's New York Times reported this about Obama's relationship with Ayers, now 63... the article concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.'"

Someone who stokes the flames of racism to win an election is not what America needs in the Whitehouse. I'm praying for you Sarah. I hope you see the light!
