Sarah Palin, private citizen, responded to Obama’s speech on her Facebook page late last night with the usual mix of bluster and aggrievement, claiming Obama’s rebuttal of her “death panel” falsehood demonstrated a lack of “civility.”

But here’s the nugget from her response that jumped out at me. She suggested Obama “demonized” victims of the “war on terror” and specifically invoked 9/11 to do so:

"Finally, President Obama delivered an offhand applause line tonight about the cost of the War on Terror. As we approach the anniversary of the September 11th attacks and honor those who died that day and those who have died since in the War on Terror, in order to secure our freedoms, we need to remember their sacrifices and not demonize them as having had too high a price tag."

The implication is that Obama is “demonizing” victims of the war on terror — 9/11 victims included — by saying war has financial costs. Palin interprets this to mean that Obama is saying that terror victims have “had too high a price tag.”

4. Hey Mooselini, There is No "War On Terror"

This President realized you don't declare "war" on a word. In fact war was never declared...her rushpublican "bretheren" were too chickenshit to do that and just rolled over as her beloved booooshie and crashcart ran the country like a dictatorship. But in her upside down world those were probably the "good 'ole days".

5. When are we going to honor the 5,000+ US who have died in wars

as a reaction to that day? When are we going to honor the 4 million displaced by our acts of war? When are we going to honor the 1 million+ killed by our bombs and bullets?

6. Oh, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah... it's not about the cost of the 'war.' It's about...

giving taxcuts to the rich in the middle of it and borrowing to pay for the war instead of swallowing hard and paying for it.
