I did not see any other threads on this, and there has been limited media attention. Although it is known that an Arson investigation is going on. Burning churches is now okay (the internet scum have been laughing about this). Just make sure it is not a mosque or a building Obama has set foot in.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin's home church was badly damaged by arson, leading the governor to apologize if the fire was connected to "undeserved negative attention" from her failed campaign as the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Damage to the Wasilla Bible Church was estimated at $1 million, authorities said Saturday. No one was injured in the fire, which was set Friday night while a handful of people, including two children, were inside, according to Central Mat-Su Fire Chief James Steele.

He said the blaze was being investigated as an arson but didn't know of any recent threats to the church. Authorities didn't know whether Palin's connection to the church was relevant to the fire, Steele said.

"It's hard to say at this point. Everything is just speculation," he said. "We have no information on intent or motive."

Steele would not comment on the means used to set the fire.

Pastor Larry Kroon declined to say whether the church had received any recent threats.

"There are so many variables," he said. "I don't want to comment in that direction."

Palin, who was not at the church at the time of the fire, stopped by Saturday. Her spokesman, Bill McAllister, said in a statement that Palin told an assistant pastor she was sorry if the fire was connected to the "undeserved negative attention" the church has received since she became the vice presidential candidate Aug. 29.

"Whatever the motives of the arsonist, the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good," McAllister said.

The 1,000-member evangelical church was the subject of intense scrutiny after Palin was named John McCain's running mate. Early in Palin's campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Focus on the Family "Love Won Out Conference" in Anchorage. The conference promised to "help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome."

The fire was set at the entrance of the church and moved inward as a small group of women were working on crafts, Steele said. The group was alerted to the blaze by a fire alarm.

Outside temperatures were minus 20 as firefighters battled the blaze.

Steele said a multi-agency task force was being assembled to investigate the fire.

Wasilla, the governor's hometown, is 40 miles north of Anchorage.

Imagine if it was a certain church in Chicago.

No double standard here.

I have no doubt that a long search for the usual suspects will be fruitless, and this was actually a "hate crime" by lib Dims who opposed the concept of a female VP candidate who is a successful, church going, conservative, gun-owning pro-life mother and politician.

Haters.

Just sick no matter the reason.

Given the timing, I do wonder about the clearly militant anti-religion actvists. What better site for left coasters.

I am really saddened to see this happen!

The anti-conservative and anti-Christian movement has been well set in to gear for a while now. Liberal Homosexuals intimidating Church's with talks of hate crime, Media displaying Christians as radicals and judgmental, crusaders if you would, while not a single word is uttered about Islamic extremists, or liberal hypocrisy.

They choose the easy fight, not the good fight.

And Sarah Palin, she represented someone who would undoubtedly fought the good fight.

We need a GPS ankle tracker on Bill Ayers. He said he hasn't done enough. That should be probable cause.
