It seems religious toleration no longer includes protestants. (Just Caucasian ones. He would never have dared to attack an African American Christian sect.) As it was protestants who laid down this constitutional law in 1688 you would think they might still be included, even in these diverse times.

I don't believe Palin has the openess needed to be a politician at the highest level. Sarah Palin's whole outlook appears to be reactionary and she severely lacks balance, most importantly she lacks the ability to change with circumstance. Sarah Palin's religious views cloud her judgment and one has to wonder how such a religious mindset will play out when it comes to foreign policy. A woman who believes the war in Iraq was a 'mission from god' and that it is America's 'endtime mission' to stand by Israel has to be a cause for concern. The Coming presidential election has produced the poorest candidates in my lifetime, neither McCain or Obama are presidential material, and Sarah Palin certainly isn't.

His later justification and refusal to apologise was mean and revealing. It has taken a long time for the rhetoric to be stripped away.
