When Brian Williams asked governor Sarah Palin in an interview Thursday night "Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist, under this definition, governor?", he was giving her a no-brainer. Filler. I don't think that anyone honestly expected her to reply, "There's no question that Bill Ayers by his own admittance was one who sought to destroy our US Capitol and our Pentagon. That is a domestic terrorist. Now, others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities that it would be unacceptable to... I don't know if you're gonna use the word 'terrorist' there."
Now, Palin, I don't care what your actual beliefs are. When you're asked in an interview if people who would kill American citizens for coercive purposes based around their own highly prejudices ideals are terrorists... You say yes. There's no room for 'I don't know.' But no, Palin hemmed and hawed, and eventually decided that the question was too hard. I guess they can't really be terrorists if she shares their beliefs.
