Will this woman eat a freaking pretzel without water fer chrissakes?
Sunday afternoon, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin decided she would finally weigh in on the whole “building-a-mosque-near-Ground-Zero” debate. The result, as one might expect, could best be described as a diarrhea bomb of offensive remarks.
Sarah Palin Launches Offensive Twitter Attack on Muslims, Makes Up Word
The fun begins with Palin calling on “peaceful” Muslims (because the ones who want the mosque are surely the most violent individuals on the face of the planet, right?) to “refudiate” the construction of their holy building (via TPM):
Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate
Refudiate, in case you were wondering, is not a word. She then nixed the first tweet in exchange for this one:
Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real.
Again, there’s no room in Palin’s mind to be both a supporter of religious freedom and “peaceful.” Sorry Muslims! Then there’s yet another tweet, this one calling on Muslims to reject the mosque “in the interest of healing:”
Peace-seeking Muslims pls understand. Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing
Oh, and she offered this excuse for the grammar:
“Refudiate,” “misunderestimate,” “wee-wee’d up.” English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!
