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.

You can say that again!
In case anyone doubts the Left is truly dain bramaged...
It is the right thing to do plain and simple...it positively goes to her character as a person...
True, but since it was probably done by a liberal, it will NEVER be prosecuted.
I can't state exactly what should happen now. I really don't know how much longer conservatives will be cowards.
Actually, I take that back - there’s no constitutional designation of a crime being a “hate crime” as compared to any other crime of the same type. Murder is murder, arson is arson.
Unfortunately Sarah’s apology will be part of every story written about this crime. Until somebody gets arrested the Press will keep banging that drum.
Team Sarah http://www.teamsarah.org/ is encouraging its members to donate to the rebuilding of the church. All of us who support Gov. Palin should send something, and join Team Sarah if you haven’t already. The best way to fight the leftwing loons is to show them that we will stand by her, and her church, no matter what they do.
I'm a bit disturbed by someone writing for Town Hall picking up this "failed campaign" mantra from CNN and AP. As for the church burning, not much question that the left-wing hatred expressed for this pastor and this church as a means of attacking Palin inspired some leftist religion-hater to do this.
No, Sarah has nothing to feel guilty about. Hatred of Christianity is a growing infection of the left, and somebody certainly needs to stand up for Christian values, even if it leads to attacks and martyrdoms.
As it may, with Obama coming into power.
That tacky for Far left
I am sorry it is Far left never mind
Too often we witness what Liberal wack-jobs have in common with terrorists of the ‘Islamic Kind’. NO rules of engagement; no boundaries; and a hate that is never satiated; save by perping hate crimes against those whose religious beliefs they find disagreement with.
Setting a Christian Church on fire with people inside?
Right out of the Odinga Playbook! Obama and Dick Morris must be proud!
Not “hate crime” — this is war!
Find 'em.
Shoot 'em.
Your damn right this is war. I blame the media, for constantly trashing Sarah, they have allowed these animals to come out of the woodwork to commit acts like this. I want the bastards to pay for what they have done. If I were Sarah, I would file a defamation of character lawsuit against all of these pricks, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, bankrupt all their asses. I bet you dollars for donuts that this will turn out to be arson and that it was some liberal obama supporting whack job who did this. I won’t be surprised one bit. Our country is already in the depths of hell why should this shock anyone. What makes me so sad and actually put tears in my eyes was reading Sarah apologize, she has NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to apologize for. She is such an angel, someone does something nasty and horrible against her and her community, and what does she do, she doesn’t call for retaliation, doesn’t call for the bastards head to be put on a stick in the town square, she puts the blame on herself and apologizes for it, I tell ya, I have never seen a woman like this before, she is so inspirational. God Bless her, it seems like everyday I find another reason to love this woman
I was just watching Fox News about the corrupt Chicago political macheine.
You know what. We the people of the United States have to take our country back. We have to put these people out of business. Palin can not do it alone. She will be our leader, but we have to do the hard work. For too long people have been too afraid. Perhaps of smears, fires, bullets and knives. But what is the alternative ? If good men continue to do nothing, America will be lost forever.
Our Prayers go out for this church and Governor Palin and all Alaskans.

There’s a New Star Shining For Us Still
I join you. I WILL stand!
I rub their noses in their poop at every opportunity. Yet they continue to attack and plunder in the name of change.
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. And forgive me if I can't forgive them. I am running low on forgiveness.
