“let’s slow down and don’t jump to any conclusions until some facts have been revealed”

Though I personally don’t remember such statements coming from here... fair enough.

You guys are close...

but, harken back to the interview with Janet Reno about the Waco massacre...

Her main motivation for going in with all that force and fire was that those people dared defy her and leftist authority.

Haven't heard yet whether this is a "hate crime." Anyone else?

I was just thinking, what do you think the drive-bys' reaction would be to an arson attempt at Rev. Wright's place?

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Monday that the accelerant was poured at several locations around the church, including entrances.

Pouring accelerant at the entrances... That is what you do when you are trying to kill people.

The perps must’ve blended in pretty well, because if I understand right, Wasilla is one of those small, everyone-knows-everyone-else towns.

Yep! they are a lot of dead Germans, Russians, Chinese, and others to testify to that. Before long some Americans will be added to the list.

What is a shame is that this act is one more thing that may push Sarah into not wanting to run for national office again. She is tough and a fighter, but I just don’t know if she’d want to put her family though this again.

Yeah, I can't remember very many recently but it has happened. Always bothers me when it does.

We ARE and continue to NEED TO BE the grownups in this country.

Cheers!

I think hate crime laws are wrong. Attempted murder is attempted murder. Why should I care about the idiot’s motivation.

If they catch and convict this guy under the plain-vanilla arson and attempted murder statutes, that will be enough for me.

“Her main motivation for going in with all that force and fire was that those people dared defy her and leftist authority.”

Is this a warning that Sarah will be personally targeted next? Makes me wonder.

This is more than a “prank” or a “scare tactic” This is attempted murder. I hope they get these scumbags and pronto........It would be sweet if they turned out to be prominent (D) members.............

Imagine the media howling that would result if a mosque had been burned instead.

I agree, but if it had been the Gay Church of Greater OUT of the Closet, NH.........it would be called a hate crime in all the headlines......but just a Christian church......no way.

“Sick sick sick.”

No. “Sick” is too easy an out for them. More like an act of terrorism. Diabolical. Evil.

It’s a little too soon to be placing blame and motive. The investigation is ongoing.

Yes, the left is full of Satan’s little helpers - both the knowing and the unknowing. The “unwitting” Satan’s helpers are just as culpable, though, because their ignorance is wilful.

Very sad. This rules out an accidental fire. Prayers going out for the Wassila Bible Church congregation and the Gov. of Alaska.
