When it comes to national controversies, Sarah Palin has been wronged — but she has also been wrong.
She was libeled last week as an instigator of the Tucson massacre, but she has spread libel herself about the Ground Zero Mosque imam, Feisal Rauf. "Rauf refuses to recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel," she wrote on her Facebook page last year in protest against Rauf's Park 51 Project.
But as Rauf repeated — again — on Frank Beckmann's conservative radio show last Friday, he strongly opposes Hamas and terrorism. "Hamas is a terrorist organization. They have committed terrorist acts," he told Beckmann in an impassioned denunciation of Islamic extremists who "pose more of a threat, in fact, to Muslim-majority societies," where bombings have killed thousands of innocent people.
