Palin started by making the mistake assuming that there are peace-seeking Muslims. Peace seeking Muslims should have condemned the building of a mosque at Ground Zero and should also condemn the the weekly murder of Christians in Muslim countries...

What mistake?

This lady understands politics, she understands communication, and she understands the use of rhetoric.

Perhaps you should not take the words at face value.

Except Sarah Palin, of course...

“@SarahPalinUSA mind your business."

If we cannot take the words of a politician at face value we’re truly lost. Do you believe that the average American has the time or inkling for disecting every meaning of politicians’ statements and declarations? They should either speak the truth or shut up.

What you are saying is that we should give politicians a blank check and allow them to say anything they please to say. Then, when things don’t work out we accuse them of lying.

Accepting politicians’ statements at face value has given us this baseless misconception that Islam is a Religion of Peace. Remember GW’s statement at his State of the Union speech in 2002 less than 6 months after the WTC came down and how members of Congress and General Staff and even Cheney all beamed with joy and satisfaction at that statement?

Yeah, right.

You still think Palin should be allowed to refer to Islam as a ROP?

"Should be allowed?"

What do you mean by "Should be allowed?"

Hmmm...

It appears the work of citizenship is too heavy a burden for you. I guess you should get used to the idea of being a subject.

For the rest of us, we WILL pay attention, because we have no choice.

Had you been paying attention, you would understand what happens when conservatives speak plain truth when responding to PC...and why it's sometimes necessary to employ rhetoric.

What you are saying is that we should give politicians a blank check and allow them to say anything they please to say...

Run along now, the adults are talking.

Love the headline.... so it’s Sarah Palin who “triggers” the controversy when it is a vicious politically correct scumbag from Mayor Bloomberg’s staff who actually engaged in nasty politcal attacks.....

Can we ask Andrea Batista Schlesinger how exactly NYC is “none of your business” to Sarah Palin or to ANY patriotic American???

Here’s another version of the headline on Yahoo: “Palin sparks Twitter fight on mosque”

so whether Sarah Palin “sparks” or “triggers” this controversy, the focus is upon her supposed provocation, and not upon the vicious Bloomberg aide who had to delete her personal attacks on Sarah Palin.... nor is the article properly focused upon the DEPRAVITY of jihad Islam which wants to build this gigantic mosque just 2 blocks from where thousands were slaughtered in the NAME of Islam.

we need to make a-clowns like this one “poster children” for what is wrong with America — her load of b.s. won’t sell outside of socialist havens:

“TakeBackAmerica2007” -— this Andrea Batista-Schlesinger is a rabid, hateful, babbling leftist:

“offering legal status to 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country”

repeated hateful jabs at “the right”

“tort reform is funded by the very industries which don’t want to be held accountable..... let the jury decide”

mocking “border control, border control, border control”

mocking “tax relief and the language they have offered us”

“the mid-terms were not only about the War, they were about..... anxiousness for govt. to do more”

...”hold true to our progressive ideologies....”

No, that would be a waste of a good building.

Let them build it and THEN we take it.

Assuming somebody in New York still has their bxxxs.

“progressive” is lefto-speak for “socialist”

they are all too dishonest to simply admit they are socialists

“honest leftist” is an oxymoron
