Facebook Accidentally Deletes Palin's Anti-Mosque Post, Promptly Apologizes

they should have left it and she was right to put it there.

the biggest reason she left, is that she saved the state of AK around a quarter of a million $ in court fees trying to defend stupid and groundless accusations. The state was in good shape when she left, maybe she wanted to fix the crap that was going on in the lower 48? You idiots, you elect Franken, the BullRun guy, and a few others like them, and you are worried that Palin doesnt have the smarts to run anything? Hypocrites.

My copy of the Constitution says "....no law respecting an establishment of religion..." which is clear enough meaning no religion (NO religion, even Christian) has a right to use the power of law enforcement to impose its dogma or doctrine or taboos on all of us. It also says "...nor prohibit the free practice thereof..." which means even if certain Christians hate Muslims, the Muslims have the right to build their churches anywhere just like Christians, Buddhists, or Scientologists.

FB can 'accidently' delete any and all things Wailin' Palin posts and I wouldn't miss it!

actually the only objective channel. you should watch it sometime.
it pains me they are so objective. given the fact almost 100% of the media is a propaganda tool, and cheerleader for obama administration.

As long as people believe the stories of religions, there will be controversy and conflict. Neither of which are taught in religion. As far as I know.

It is a community center - like a YMCA with a non-denominational prayer room. Timothy McVeigh was a Christian and nobody complained about building a church or a Y near the Oklahoma City bomb site.

Richard, were you referring to Faux News ( as it was referred to when I was at Elmendorf AFB)? That is a joke!

TV journalist, Chris Matthews put it very clearly and succinctly:-
"I find her lack of knowledge to be frightening".

Go Facebook whether accidental or not!! I have to listen to enough of the lies she spews trying to divide and create hatred in this country on the news without them being posted on facebook while I am trying to enjoy myself. Many on the things she says are hate comments.

Where there's smoke there's fire! People need to start thinking for themselves an quit regurgitating what they here on TV!

"Palin, for her part, added a characteristically redundant note...." Yea, the author is staying neutral on this story.

@BISHLER>>>As a citizen of the great state of Oklahoma The churches you speak of were already there at the time of the bombing, They took the remains of the Murrah building and made our memorial. thank you but please next time get your facts straight.

There were Muslims that died at the Trade Center, too. And I do not mean the idiots flying the planes.

Ever hear of Rabbi Yaakov Thompson. In an opinion piece for the South Florida Sun Sentinel. He accused Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, leader of the group that would worship at the new facility, of taking chutzpah “to a new level,” even though, he added, “I realize that those behind Cordoba House have no connection to terrorism.”

That bears repeating. Though he acknowledges the people behind Cordoba House are not terrorists, the rabbi still demands New York tell them no.

In so doing, he blithely legitimizes the idea that tribe is destiny, that you and I are each individually answerable for the crimes of those who merely look like, talk like, or pray like, us.

That being the case, one wonders how far from Ground Zero the rabbi would think it proper for Muslims to build? A mile? Twenty? A hundred? Or maybe nowhere within the borders of these United States.

And now Sarah Palin is calling on moderate Muslims to “refudiate” — presumably she meant “repudiate” — the idea.

We should not be without sympathy for those who cringe at the notion of a mosque so near Ground Zero. Memory of what happened there is burned into us all. To put a mosque there would be an unavoidably painful and provocative thing.

But the Constitution does not carry an escape clause. We do not get to jettison our national ideals just because they cause pain or provoke.

To the contrary, that is the time they are most severely tested and most desperately in need of defending.

And frankly, we ought to be troubled by the easy conflation of Islam and terror into which we have fallen over the last decade.

Yes, we have been helped in that fall by manifold Islamic terrorists, from the Fort Hood shooter to the shoe bomber to the man who left a crude bomb in Times Square two months back.

But we have also been helped in that fall by that xenophobic strain that was seemingly born in us and that, at some point or another in history, has caused us to regard Americans of Japanese, German, Iranian, Irish and French descent with the same suspicion and scorn we now reserve for Muslims.

Obama had to keep reassuring voters he wasn’t a Muslim and that no one thought to say the obvious: What if he was?

Are Muslims not Americans, too? Is that what we’re saying now?

I fear terrorism. But I find I fear even more what my country has become in response to it — a nation where a “rabbi” (!) can blandly condemn someone, not for his own crimes but for the crimes of some of his tribesmen.

Putting that building in that place might be painful and provocative, but it would also be a reminder of the very values the terrorists sought to kill. And we seem to need that reminder more every day.

They want to build a mosque four blocks from Ground Zero? Isay, "Let them."

Dear Amar Toor,

Just a note. I haven't followed Palins speeches or remarks so I'm presuming "refudiate" rather than refute or repudiate is a Palinism.
