Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin
“Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real” – Sarah Palin
With these words, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin becomes the first national political personality to support the growing resistance movement in America to aggressive Islamicization tactics. George W. Bush had bent over backwards not to offend American Muslims. Even as he sent U.S. troops to Afghanistan, and then Iraq, while pushing through the Patriot Act and creating the Department of Homeland Security, the White House was inviting Muslim leaders with extremist connections to attend the memorial ceremonies for 9/11.
A passel of Paul Reveres have been warning us that America faces not only the threats of foreign and home-grown Islamic terrorism, but the encroachment of “legal Islamism” as well – that is, the widespread and aggressive use of legal means to expand the Muslim footprint over our society. We are not talking here about Muslim individuals being allowed to use vacation days to observe Ramadan.
Instead, we are talking about an imam of dubious political provenance using foreign millions to erect a 15-storey Islamic center at the very place where thousands of Americans were incinerated by well-coordinated extremists acting in the name of their prophet.
Why would any peace-loving Muslim want to offend ordinary Americans by insisting on erecting a mosque there? Educated Muslims, as well as aficionados of their culture, know well that Islam has always used architecture to express political and spiritual dominance. In fact, so does every civilization. That’s why they took down the Twin Towers. As one caller to a Sunday talk show put it: “This is like the Japanese wanting to put a Shinto shrine at the entrance to Pearl Harbor.”
Now Sarah Palin has joined the fight. How wonderful that the latest “Palin endorsement” comes on the very day The New York Times runs a page 1 Sunday story of Gov. Palin’s emergence as the most influential figure in Republican politics. When the Times admits it, Sarah Palin has really arrived.
Gov. Palin has demonstrated once again that she is not afraid to listen to the warnings of our latter-day Paul Reveres. And to add her voice to theirs. As with the other famous “Palin endorsements,” may this one be for a game changer.
And another tweet, about 1 1/2 hours later: Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing – Sarah Palin
Glad Sarah has the guts to say it, and so do the two Republican gubernatorial candidates for NY - Paladino and Lazio. The Dem front runner, Andrew Cuomo WANTS it built. Cuomo should not be governor of any state, particularly NYS.
140 character, including spaces, for Tweets...
She is a ‘damn the torpedoes’ kind of gal. I love it. Finally, someone of my gender who is spot on and not afraid to go public.
And you know...those torpedoes turn out to be duds, mostly. Thankfully, the USS Sarah has a reinforced hull that seems to deflect the worst the enemy sends her way.
Sad that one woman has to do the job of the spineless Republican parasites in the Congress. Useless bastards.

Oh, well said!
You know, Sarah reminds me of my middle daughter who is also a little spitfire. And from the moment she could talk she would wind up and let fly at a high rate of wpm (words per minute). Sometimes in the whirlwind of words, she would “weld” words together (like repudiate and refute) or just come out with a new word, like angrify. (That one’s my daughter's)
I think that happens to Sarah more often than not. She's not dumb. Well, not dumb like a fox.
Absolutely not!
I have to admit that I like "angrify." I may use it. Please thank your daughter for me.
While it is not a big deal, I wish Sarah had not made this mistake. I still have some hope that she will be able to remove her MSM branding, but gaffes like this don't help. Plus, it takes attention away from the substance of her argument against the mosque.
What’s a “peace seeking Muslim”?
