    At one of the clinics Eric Rudolph bombed he had a second bomb set to go off after emergency crews arrived. How is that not terrorism? How was the bombing at the Olympics or the night club not terrorism?

    Although there are many definitions of terrorist, I find this one the clearest:

    "terrorist
    noun
    a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities "

    Let's see whether it fits to the people who bomb abortion clinics. They are radicals and they are trying to terrorize women seeking abortions and medical staff providing abortions. They use terror as a political weapon, the political goal being a change in the laws. They are organized, and they use religion to justify their activities aimed at terrorizing civilians.

    So how are they not terrorists?

    LOL! I see the cons are to embarrassed to defend Palin on this topic but are not to embarrassed to hit and run with their negs. Hypocrites.

    I'm sure GLee or Redtomato will chime in at some point rationalizing. They justify the bombing as a way to save innocent children by blowing up their potential parents. I don't agree with abortion but I also don't agree with murder either.

    A terrorist is one who targets civilians and non-combatants in order to acheive social change.

    This suggests that the most egregious terrorists are those who bomb whole cities to acheive their ends, and that the war on terror may best furthered by cleaning out the White House and the Pentagon.

          Here is an example of terror wrought by the authorities:

          Four Kent State students died as a result of the firing by the Guard. The closest student was Jeffrey Miller, who was shot in the mouth while standing in an access road leading into the Prentice Hall parking lot, a distance of approximately 270 feet from the Guard. Allison Krause was in the Prentice Hall parking lot; she was 330 feet from the Guardsmen and was shot in the left side of her body. William Schroeder was 390 feet from the Guard in the Prentice Hall parking lot when he was shot in the left side of his back. Sandra Scheuer was also about 390 feet from the Guard in the Prentice Hall parking lot when a bullet pierced the left front side of her neck.

          Nine Kent State students were wounded in the 13 second fusillade. Most of the students were in the Prentice Hall parking lot, but a few were on the Blanket Hill area. Joseph Lewis was the student closest to the Guard at a distance of about sixty feet; he was standing still with his middle finger extended when bullets struck him in the right abdomen and left lower leg. Thomas Grace was also approximately 60 feet from the Guardsmen and was wounded in the left ankle. John Cleary was over 100 feet from the Guardsmen when he was hit in the upper left chest. Alan Canfora was 225 feet from the Guard and was struck in the right wrist. Dean Kahler was the most seriously wounded of the nine students. He was struck in the small of his back from approximately 300 feet and was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Douglas Wrentmore was wounded in the right knee from a distance of 330 feet. James Russell was struck in the right thigh and right forehead at a distance of 375 feet. Robert Stamps was almost 500 feet from the line of fire when he was wounded in the right buttock. Donald Mackenzie was the student the farthest from the Guardsmen at a distance of almost 750 feet when he was hit in the neck.

            Smithichie, your comments are so true. I don't wonder about the family of the deceased, Mrs Hawthorne. I am sure they view Eric Rudolph, for what he is... A Terrorist... Sarah Palin, should go back to Alaska, so they can recall her... What a mindless statement to make...

              No, Obama is against late-term abortion, but he won't sign unless the mother's health can trump the criminalization.

              I disagree with him--I think that if someone chooses late-term abortion, it's not only rare, but the circumstances warrant it. I think we need to find ways to limit the number of pregnancies. Give the patch, tie tubes, or give vasectomies to people who would like them, but can't afford it, and make drugs like RU-486 and condoms more readily available. That would save the country a lot of money as well.

              Actually Mrs Palin has unwittingly done us all a huge favor.
              She has sunk any hope John McCain had of winning this election.I believe Carl Rove can be thanked for an assist!
