Palin's Church Severely Damaged by Arson
Washington Post ^ | December 14, 2008 | Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Dec. 13 -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's home church was badly damaged by arson, leading the governor to apologize Saturday if the fire was connected to "undeserved negative attention" from her campaign as the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Damage to the Wasilla Bible Church was estimated at $1 million, authorities said. No one was injured in the fire, which was set Friday night while a handful of people, including two children, were inside, according to James Steele, the Central Mat-Su fire chief.

Well, if this arson was in fact directed against Governor Palin, this is a really pathetic testament to the state of politics in this country when a former and potentially future candidate’s chruch is burned out of pure hatred.

Let's see how fast the perp is charged with a Hate Crime - if caught.

(If this was a black church it and he would)

You will notice that the real marxist hate church is still standing untouched. One totalitarian state is just as bad as the other.

Comrade Obama’s Hitler Youth and Nazi Brown Shirts doing what fascists do, burn the houses and churches and businesses of anyone they perceive as a threat.
Just a little foretaste of what to expect from the Bill Ayers Obama regime.

I wonder about the political affiliation of the arsonist - NOT. The party of hate.

The perp is more likely a red bandana-wearing member of the Young Pioneers.

“The 1,000-member evangelical church was the subject of intense scrutiny after Palin was named Sen. John McCain’s running mate. Early in Palin’s campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Love Won Out conference in Anchorage sponsored by Focus on the Family. The conference promised to “help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome.”

Well now: “Intense scrutiny” of Plain’s church versus “Benign neglect” of Obambi’s. Go figure.

I pray there's an intelligence network in place that can and will track this scum down.

If people were in the church, this is attempted murder.

The anti-American and (here comes the racist statement) .. anti-white factions have become emboldened by the mere presence of ZerO.

And anyone that doesn't believe America is afraid of the blacks and Muslims in this country need only look at all the PC inclusiveness $h!t going on around the country regarding Christmas, and the tap-dancing Gregory Hines would be proud of by the SC, and various courts/judges all over this ..... once great land.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Ah, that’s “Palin’s church”: sorry for the typo. Don’t blame the entire “pro-gay marriage” movement if this turns out to be related to Love Won Out conference: the responsible members of the “pro-gay marriage” movement are simply expressing their opinion. The ones who commit acts of violence and/or intimidation are making things bad for those who do not advocate such actions.

Some Little Democrat Fag and his butt-licking friends I’m guessing.

This was nothing compared to what would have happened if McCain/Palin had won. btw, the big exclusive black “church” down the street from me had Obama signs up all over before the election.

We have to hope this wasn't related to her failed bid to become the first female Vice-President. However, there was a huge Palin derangement syndrome by many on the left. The Mainstream Media tried to Paint her as a book burning, assault weapon packing lunatic who didn't know where Russia was. See picture here.

Someday when I’m old, I’ll be able to reminisce about Republican churches being burned down in my youth.
