On the other hand, calling out, or labeling, those who do not believe that burning the Koran (or Quran or whatever) are “dumb”, when a good portion of those who support you disagree with that sentiment, may not be the “best” choice of responses for an aspiring political “phenom”? I suppose what I am attempting to get across is that although I personally support and favor Mrs. Palin on just about any given topic, on this particular issue I simply believe that the better answer for her would been not to supply one in the first place, but again, that is my own personal opinion.
I think the best response would have been, “He has a right to do it, end of story.”
Actually, I think it shows character that she stands up for what may not be popular.
It also will give her more moral authority when she is called on to condemn Muslim acts which she considers inciteful (like the GZ Mosque, for example). She can say that she condemns such acts across the board as she has now proven and, because, there are far more of these acts on the Muslim side the world will see more clearly that moral equivalency is NOT a reality despite what the MSM continually says. In other words, Palin and other leaders in the US condemn such acts when performed by Americans whereas Muslim leaders do not when they are performed by their people.
