Palin: "I don't know if you'd use the word 'terrorist'" for abortion-clinic bombers

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:41:27 GMT

Brian Williams interviews McCain and Palin on the NBC Nightly News, Oct. 23, 2008. There's a lot in this interview, but I'm clipping it mainly because of what it shows about the slipperiness of the term "terrorist" in modern-day political speech. A lot of critics have jumped on Palin for saying that she wasn't "sure" if the word "terrorist" would be appropriate for abortion-clinic bombers. To be fair, the quotation has often been taken out of context. She is pretty clear in condemning such bombings, even if she's uncomfortable with labelling them "terrorism." (However, the deeper point is that she seems to have a special category of violent criminal for whom she considers the word "terrorist" to be appropriate, and apparently Bill Ayers is the only person who fits in that category, as far as I can tell.) Presumably Palin associates the idea of "terrorism" with a kind of anti-American ideology, whatever that might mean, and isn't sure whether abortion-clinic bombers truly fall into that group. Just guessing, though. Discovered via joneilortiz's Friendfeed stream.

US Conference of Catholic Bishops: statement condemning workplace raids as immigration enforcement tactic (Sept. 10, 2008)

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:41:27 GMT

The head of the immigration subcommittee of the US Catholic Bishops conference criticizes the increasing use of large-scale armed workplace raids by the ICE as a tool for immigration enforcement. He doesn't say this explicitly, but due primarily to demographic and economic factors, Catholic churches have often borne the brunt of the massive humanitarian relief costs that arise in the wake of these raids, particularly in caring for abandoned children and other dependent family members (many of whom, not that it should matter, are actually U.S. citizens).

Lou Zickar, "As Obama channels Reagan, the real McCain vanishes," Chicago Tribune (Oct. 19, 2008)

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:41:26 GMT

A really interesting piece of commentary about the relationship between politics and charisma. The author is a long-time Reagan Republican who's considering a vote for Obama because, to him, he represents the kind of idealism, commitment, and values he saw embodied in Reagan in 1980, whereas McCain, at least in his current political incarnation, represents cynicism, manipulation, and "politics-as-usual."
