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

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

So sad that Sarah blames herself for this, this was NOT her fault, this was the fault of the left wing liberal nut jobs that are now controlling the majority of the United States, if something is not done to stop this evil this country is doomed

Does Alaska have a Leftist underground?

It’s hard to imagine a loser from the lower 48 going to all the trouble just to burn a church.

Hopefully the criminal(s) are apprehended quickly.

Leftist idiotology is rampant throughout every state in this once great land. What is more remarkable is the great governor of Alaska having the balls to apologize for the leftist retards being themselves.

God bless that woman and her family.

Oh of course. Notice that NO ONE even attempted to burn down Trinity United Church, why, because we have respect for churches even if we don’t agree with their beliefs. And yes there are whack jobs who live in Anchorage who would do this, of course, there are liberals in Alaska, not as much as in the lower 48 but they do exist, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone came from the lower 48 to Alaska to do this, they know the name of her church, heck fox news was stupid enough to name Piper’s Elementary School so yeah, takes one nut to do something like this

So much for “tolerance”. These people aren’t even content with winning.

If it was Obama’s Church every FBI agent in the country would be told to cancel their Christmas plans and hop on the next plane, and a dozen platoons would be redeployed from Afghanistan to assist in the investigation.

That’s because Sarah has God on her side, she knows why this was done, she knows the deal, she is no fool. Unfortunately there is a lot of evil in this world, I can see now why Obama won, now I finally get it. I always thought that it was the dummies that put this marxist in power, but it was also these liberals who want to destroy America, if we let them continue down this road we are screwed

No doubt at least one of the lawyers Obama sent up to Wasilla to investigate his opponent took the opportunity to case the church and make arrangements for an arsonist to hit it later.

Now, if Obama will give up their names so the cops can begin their own investigation.

That’s because they know their prophet is a false one. They see what is going on with Blagojevich, they know they were screwed, but they don’t care, they got the majority of the house and senate now, they know they have the power to do whatever they want. They are not satisfied with winning because Obama is no one to be proud of. They will never be satisfied until they have destroyed this country

Not so hard to imagine.

We know from their blogs that they’re violent and angry people.

why should she apologize? She did nothing wrong.

I pray that one day she returns to the church in which she was baptized.

Meanwhile, prayers for all in the congregation.

This world belongs to the devil. Luke 4:1-13 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, [2] where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. [3] The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." [4] Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.'" [5] The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. [6] And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. [7] So if you worship me, it will all be yours." [8] Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'" [9] The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. [10] For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; [11] they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' " [12] Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" [13] When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

What was the classic Democrat scare ad? "If you vote for the GOP, churches will burn!"

I guess church burnings are no longer the domain of the right wing.
