Well, I guess if you can't criticize the ideas you criticize the messenger. I'll take Sarah Palin and her bad grammar over the current slate of crooks any day of the week.

Sarah Palin uses Twitter to criticize Ground Zero mosque, gets slammed for poor grammar

Krupa/APSarah Palin used Twitter to voice her opinion about a controversial Muslim community center being proposed for lower Manhattan.

The former governor of Alaska has something to say to Muslims in New York: Stop the Ground Zero mosque.

Sarah Palin posted the remark on Sunday in an effort to involve herself in a local city issue regarding a controversial community center near Ground Zero.

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

The mosque, which would be included in a 13-story, $100 million Islamic community center and prayer space on Park Place near Ground Zero, has been under fire from residents for several weeks.

Originally called the Cordoba House, developers recently changed its name to Park51, in reference to his address.

Although the final version of the tweet was grammatically correct, Palin went through several incarnations of the post, deleting three versions before arriving at the above statement.

Bloggers were quick to jump on her first tweet, which included some questionable grammar:

Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate, she wrote on Sunday afternoon.

Refudiate, however, is not an actual word. Palin deleted the post, but not before it was picked up by bloggers, who were quick to mock the one-time vice presidential candidate.

In response to the critics, Palin posted another tweet that referenced former President Bush, whose inventive use of the English language was often ridiculed.

She also suggested she was channeling playwright William Shakespeare with her writing.

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

It is not clear what sparked Palin's posts regarding the mosque, which came on the heels of Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams getting kicked out of his position over an offensive blog post he wrote regarding colored people.

Palin had also criticized the NAACP last week for labeling the Tea Party as racist.
