Palin didn't say we'd baptize terrorists in the name of the Holy Spirit, but baptize in general, that has nothing to do with Christianity, but with other kinds of rites.
She's speaking to a conservative audience, using the term "baptize" to that audience, and I'm supposed to think it wasn't on purpose?
If it wasn't, then Palin is an idiot. She's not an idiot, so my thought is she used that loaded word in front of a willing audience in order to shore up the 10% of the population who pay her bills.
The only real issue I have with Sarah is that she continually leaves teasers about leading the country, or running for President, when it's been obvious since 2008 to those of us on the right not caught up in the Palin Bubble that she has no intention of running for national office anytime soon.
I got perma-banned from TOS because I said over and over she wasn't running, and even when she said she wasn't running, posters still wanted to start some asinine movement to have a brokered convention. She's been dead politically to me since her "crony capitalism" smear on Rick Perry, anyhow. That was just so dumb.
