Palin: Abortion Clinic Bombers Not Terrorists

HeadlineOct 27, 2008

On Friday, NBC broadcast a joint interview with McCain and Palin. When questioned by NBC’s Brian Williams, Palin refused to say whether people who blew up abortion clinics are terrorists.

Brian Williams: “Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist, under this definition, Governor?”

Sarah Palin: “There’s no question that Bill Ayers, via his own admittance, was one who sought to destroy our US Capitol and our Pentagon. That is a domestic terrorist. There’s no question there. Now, others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities that it would be unacceptable, I don’t know if you’re going to use the word 'terrorist' there.”
