A suspicious fire has torn through the church attended by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who apologized if the blaze was related to her White House run.

Palin, Republican John McCain's running mate, was not at the church during the Friday night fire that caused about $1 million damage.

A small group of women and children were in the Wasilla Bible Church doing crafts when the blaze was set at the building's entrance. The group escaped when a fire alarm sounded, Pastor Larry Kroon said.

Palin spokesman Bill McAllister said the governor visited Saturday and "told an assistant pastor that she apologizes if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice presidential candidate on Aug. 29."

The church draws as many as 1,000 worshipers on a Sunday.


If someone was hurt, itd be tragic.

But since no one was, its hilarious.

Did you spend months of your life demonizing your politcally enemies, inciting race riots, having crowds calling for the death of innocent men, and saying your political enemies were "terrorists" (or "paled around with them") or not "real Americans"?

Yes, because an internet disagreement is exactly the same as inciting race riots and sturring up ugly feelings that were best laid to rest in this country. And they have the exact same real world implications. Are you seriously going to make this arguement?

This new high and mighty attitude of yours is obnoxious and unbecoming.

EDIT: And seriously, the big thing here is she brought this on herself. "Oh my, I demonized my enemies, divided the country, and opened up serious, ugly wounds in my quest for power, but I didnt expect people to retaliate dontcha know?" *wink*

She is an awful person because she sturred up racist sentiment and fueled flames that resulted in death threats being made to an innocent man. You dont just disregard that because she was campaigning.

On the other hand, Obama left the Trinity after Jeremiah Wright got Dumbfuck Stupid even after he was given the benefit of the doubt by the President Elect. So seeing the Trinity burn down if nobody was injured would likely have been just as ironic and maybe humorous considering he's still considered "Muslim Obama's Whitey-Hating Christian Pastor".

I do find it a bit amusing that a church in small-town Alaska burns down, and it is covered on all the national news outlets, and a woman who goes there feels like she has to apologize for it. But it's markedly unfunny if it's an act of terrorism, which I hope it isn't.

Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/sarahpalin/3405336/Sarah-Palin-blamed-by-the-US-Secret-Service-for-death-threats-against-Barack-Obama.html)The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.

Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"

We are definitely treating it as suspicious and as potential arson at this point," he said.

Steele declined to say why investigators believe the fire might have been set deliberately, or whether accelerants were found on the scene.

Nothing thus far suggests any political motivation for the fire, the chief said.

"Right now there's no indication that we have that there's any connection there. We just don't have any leads at all as far as the intent or motive in this," Steele said


So, there isnt really any motive or reason to think its arson, but theyre treating it as arson.

It's not funny that Palin's church got burned down when she was spreading hateful messages, because there were people in that church when the fire started.

There are, given the nature of the building, two main systems that would most likely accidentally cause a fire that would exhibit the same traits as this fire - electrical and heating.

Given how relatively new the building is, and how the ignition was, according to your first source, at the entrance of the buidling and not near any area where high and sustained voltages would occur, there's a reason for this to be deemed an arson investigation.

I would have reason to be skeptical, but given the age of the building in question, I have more reason to trust an arson investigation.

Obviously, that in no way legitimizes retaliatory violence against Palin, let alone against her church.

Read it again. In particular, the fact that, during an election (gasp!) she questioned Obama's patriotism, and pointed out his association with Bill Ayers, y'know, the guy who planned the bombing of the Capitol building and wrote "Prairie Fire"? The guy who is quoted as saying "Guilty as hell, Free as a Bird" after his lawyer got his prosecution thrown out on technicalities?

THat isn't "Racist"-it's pointing out uncomfortable facts about the guy's affiliations, and it's totally kosher to do so-wouldn't you want to know if a Republican presidential candidate was a friend of Richard Butler? What some idiots (who always show up in a hotly contested election) DO with such information is up to those idiots.

It's good that you're rational enough to realize that arson is BAD, churches being lit up WORSE, and that the election is OVER.

Who are you judge on the moral integrity of another human being? Who are you to comment on the vileness of someone you have never met? Who are you, to come down from your throne of moral perfection to cast down judgement?

What right do you even have to declare that she is a vile human being?

I have read your posts in this thread, and have seen nothing but contempt and hatred spewing out of your mouth. Ironic, considering it is the same accusations that you place upon Palin.

I must ask you, to look into your own life, and analyse the moral imperfections that you hold. The disgusting things that you have done in your life time, which I am sure could lead me to declare you as a “vile human being.”

I honestly, cannot understand you hated contempt for a woman. Yes her church was burned down. Now think of the other nine hundred and ninety nine worshippers who now have significant problems on sourcing space for their community groups. That now need to capitalise finance to rebuild. That now have no-where to host the Christmas gatherings and social work that goes forth into the community.

Finding something like this hilarious, but then assuming a moral high ground over a "vile" woman, to be honest is beyond belief. When you yourself just appear to be a wretched creature of contempt.

Far better to forgive Palin for the mistakes she has made, and instead look forward to the future and express genuine sympathy for the damage this fire has caused, than to grasp at straws of hatred.

I always find this to be an interesting double standard. "Since only a building was damaged, it's ok." Yet, arguably there are some mosques in america which are out to convert our country into a theocracy, and if someone set those on fire it would justifiably be called a hate crime. The schools in our country are already spinning lies and turning us into a plutocracy, but you don't see Christians (or any other minority group) threatening to burn down schools.

Or maybe, the liberal left is actually made uncomfortable by being put in a spot where they have to defend the indefensible (terrorism against religious people), so they have to call up exceptions ("no people were injured") to justify criminal behavior.

As hateful a person as Sarah Palin is, as much as she wants to make the country into a theocracy, and as happy as she was to knowingly put an innocent man -- and loyal public servant-- in danger of assassination, there were innocents involved here, and as such I condemn the arsonist, if arson it was.

I must admit, I did find it a little amusing that her chickens came home to roost, but this is not what should have happened. I do not think, as some have suggested, that not getting to be VP is enough of a punishment for what she did-- after all, she did her best to stir up hatred, divide the country, even to the level that an innocent man was put at risk for assassination (and I doubt that she just didn't foresee these consequences. Even a fairly stupid person should have been able to, if they saw her speeches. Hell, just seeing a transcript of one of them was enough for me)

Most people, even people who don't try to craft the public into a state of hatred and fear, don't get to be VP anyway-- but burning down buildings is reprehensible, especially if there are innocents inside. Better to target her individually, and through means that are neither criminal nor dangerous.

The children in the church were innocent. I imagine it wasn't a pleasant experience for them. The people who go to this church, aren't Palin, and like those in Wright's church you don't know enough about them to endorse this kind of behavior even if no one was physically injured.

To be sure, were I one of the kids scared in a fight they had nothing to do with, I'd strive to find the arsonist so I could gouge their eyes off. Which is the main reason I disapprove of this arson - it harmed innocent people, if not physically.

Assuming it was an arson at all.

As for Palin, yes, she deserves what crap she gets, and I'd love to see someone's boot stomping on her face. Unfortunately, SHE got nothing in this case.

If someone was hurt, itd be tragic.

But since no one was, its hilarious.

Dude that is not cool! Church burning is NOT funny!

He wasn't saying the actual burning was funny..but the irony! He also made it explicit that he was GLAD NO ONE was injured. I got what he was meaning.. but it spilt into a ravaging.

Honestly when this convo was going on, it reminded of a witch burning.. and I've seen it for the other side also here. NSG can be savage .. .. grr. ;) .. (not as serious as can be, I mean it's a forum, but it went ravage).

Also.. you gotta learn when to shut up. You cannot keep responding. That's what lawyers.. or good lawyers are for. This reminded me of that.. many responses to him .. I thought.. don't respond.. its a set up.

Anyway.. IMO he really meant no harm .. with his initial Thread..commentary.

That seems a stretch. As an earlier poster said, it would be ironic if a flood or fiery brimstone fell upon the structure. But it just caught fire. It's like saying Palin's oldest son dying is ironic, not quite enough.

Does it occur to anyone this is awfully self-centered? OMG it has to do with ME!

Actually I was thinking about that too Kat, but I was thinking that perhaps the media would have gone directly to her and asked her about that to get that comment.

In today's (Monday) paper it does state that it was indeed arson.

I believe vengeance/payback or irony whatever can come in many forms. .. I 'think' (no back peddling here) I understood what he was saying.

If Obama is only semi crooked, he can do us a good deal though. Just depends on the point hes crooked.


He better do well. Hes smart enough, got the money enough, the connections enough.. he better. He has absolutely no reason not to.

Who are you judge on the moral integrity of another human being? Who are you to comment on the vileness of someone you have never met? Who are you, to come down from your throne of moral perfection to cast down judgement?

What right do you even have to declare that she is a vile human being?

I have read your posts in this thread, and have seen nothing but contempt and hatred spewing out of your mouth. Ironic, considering it is the same accusations that you place upon Palin.

I must ask you, to look into your own life, and analyse the moral imperfections that you hold. The disgusting things that you have done in your life time, which I am sure could lead me to declare you as a “vile human being.”

I honestly, cannot understand you hated contempt for a woman. Yes her church was burned down. Now think of the other nine hundred and ninety nine worshippers who now have significant problems on sourcing space for their community groups. That now need to capitalise finance to rebuild. That now have no-where to host the Christmas gatherings and social work that goes forth into the community.

Finding something like this hilarious, but then assuming a moral high ground over a "vile" woman, to be honest is beyond belief. When you yourself just appear to be a wretched creature of contempt.

Far better to forgive Palin for the mistakes she has made, and instead look forward to the future and express genuine sympathy for the damage this fire has caused, than to grasp at straws of hatred.

Yep.

I don't personally know enough about Rev. Wright's policies or standpoints in order to find a bit of irony in the proposition. I know the soundbites we heard, mostly from the right wing spin machine.

On the other hand, Palin's speeches are well known. And there is something to be said for "you reap what you sow"

Exactly.

1. You are assuming its arson. Thats not for sure.
2.Were any of the children hurt? No? Then this is nothing more than a "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!" comment.
3. We dont know if it was a harrowing escape. We dont know if the children were scared. They very well may not have been. Im sure theyve been through enough fire drills were it was just a "meh".

Just par for the course for most of them.

Um, I fail to see how arson is hilarious. I'm sure that law enforcement do not share your sense of humor in this regard.

Here's hoping that you eventually find it so funny, you light up another church, and spend 20 years in prison for it.
