    @ Clockwork Smurf

    I was responding to the charge that people were not defending Palin. I quickly went back through the letters finding defense of her book banning. I wasn't discussing your charges about the rally and including you was a mistake based on a quick-re-reading of the posts finding the tacit defense of which I spoke.

    I apologize for including your comment. Mea culpa.

    As for the charge you address, though, Palin is anti-abortion; she is from Wasilla; the hospital board was taken over and abortion was banned, leading to a court care, and there was apparently anti-abortion protests in Palmer. One persons account of Palin's presence there may not be definitive, but it is far more plausible than saying McCain is a member of the Church of Satan.
