I am a bit puzzled by the opening post. Of all the things to pick from what Sarah Palin has said, that is what gets you worked up? You couldn't find anything worse? Especially considering:
Possible life in prison, possible execution, does it really matter if the person is stripped of their citizenship also? And how is that such a stupid thing to do?
If, SnakeOilWarrior, you look closely at what you have claimed about Sarah Palin, she has not stated that someone who merely likes a terrorist organization and even agrees with them would be deprived of citizenship; it is someone who actually leaves the country to join up with a terrorist organization who, she says, according to your post, should be stripped of U.S. citizenship. That is not simply agreeing with an idea; that is actively taking part in an organization that is judged to be a terrorist one.
Also, it isn't deporting anyone either, since the subject of the discussion is someone who willfully leaves.
How do you equate this with deporting atheists?

It doesn't really matter if they are a citizen or not if they are going to be charged with terrorism.
