Hufington Post: Palin calls on Muslims to refudiate the Twin Towers mosque

Geoffrey Dunn Posted: July 18, 2010 07:21 PM

Echoing the bigoted and right-wing contortions of the National Republican Trust PAC and disgraced Tea Party leader Mark Williams, Sarah Palin has sent the world of Twitter on fire this afternoon, with a series of incendiary Tweets about the proposed Islamic cultural center and mosque two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center. Palin wrote a Tweet that many middle schoolers would find incomprehensible:

Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real.

She then pulled the second attempt down and took a third swipe at it.

Peace-seeking Muslims pls understand. Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing

"Peaceful," "peace-seeking"? Why the qualifier? How about "peaceful Christians"? And as if Sarah Palin knows anything about "healing." Perhaps that's the biggest joke of all.

Well, not quite. The Thrilla from Wasilla then compared herself to none other than the Immortal Bard himself (and with indirect reference to her primary obsession, Barack Obama).

'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!'

As William Shakespeare so wisely noted in The Tempest:

You cram these words into mine ears against
The stomach of my sense.
