Seriously, that answer demonstrates a fatal character flaw that should prevent her from ever getting close to any executive power.

When Bill Ayers used terrorism as a tool to accomplish his political beliefs, its terrorism.

When abortion bombers use terrorism as a tool to accomplish their political beliefs, its _______.

Palin is so lost and stupid. I can't believe there are people in this country who support her.

Yes they would be a terrorist and the fact that she doesn't feel that they are is disgusting.

I see them as violent activists just because I want to distinguish them from the "real" terrorists who in my opinion have a house full of weapons and are military-like. The domestic terrorists and world terrorists to me act more like an army and are trained and more disciplined in carrying out their plans.

While these violent activists are more like small-scale untrained terrorists who bomb locations just because of their beliefs.

I just want to make that distinction. Because if someone says there is a terrorist that bomb the abortion clinic, the first thing that comes to my mind is a terrorist from a trained terrorist organization with a lot of bombs and firearms.

So there are three types of terrorists for me (and for me only):
1) World terrorists - the big timers - Hamas, Al Queda
2) Domestic terrorists - like McVeigh
3) Violent activists - like those bombing the abortion clinics.
