Sarah Palin says something smart?

CNN: Sarah Palin: Quran burning insensitive and un-American

Unbelievable, I know.  But according to this article on CNN's Belief Blog, Sarah Palin responded to questions of whether or not she would comment on Florida's Terry Jones's plan to burn copies of the Qur'an at his ironically-named "Dove World Outreach Center" via Twitter and Facebook, denouncing the planned actions of Jones.

Of course, she then goes and equates Qur'an-burning with Park51 (again mistakenly calling it a mosque).  Way to go.  However, I think it does speak to the disgustingness of the act that there is such a wide base of criticism against this- Republicans, Democrats, a wide range of religious leaders (Jones's actions have also drawn a response from the Vatican, calling it an "outrageous and grave gesture").  That Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton can agree on something is nothing short of a miracle.  In fact, the only big name I can think of hearing in defense of Jones (although condemning the act itself) is Michael Bloomberg.

It has sprung up a huge debate about First Amendment rights.  The whole issue of Park51 and Jones's Qur'an-burning have the nation teetering on the balance of what is protected free speech.  At what line does sensitivity take over the freedom of speech, assembly, religion?  Palin argues that it is a sensitivity issue when Jones burns copies of the Qur'an, just as it is a sensitivity issue in building the community center (she believes the backers should be sensitive to 9/11 victims and build elsewhere).  Bloomberg argues it is a freedom of speech issue- Jones has the right to burn the Qur'an, no matter how disgusting people may view the actions; the developers of Park51 have the right to build their community center, no matter how many people view their actions as insensitive.

So, where do we draw the line?
