Palin addressed the Alaskan Independence Party Convention THIS YEAR

[Straw Man]

and "First Doofus" Todd was a member for years

some choice words by the founder:

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."

Why would she associate herself with such an anti-American organization?

"Country First'
















 

[Straw Man]

Why would she associate herself with such an anti-American organization?

While it is thought that Mrs Palin officially left the party to become a Republican in 1996, she recorded an address for its convention earlier this year in which she said: "I share your party's vision of upholding the constitution of our great state" and told members to "keep up the good work".

Lynette Clark, the chairman of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP), confirmed to ABC News that Mrs Palin and her husband Todd had both been both members and attended at least one party convention.

"When she joined the party our platform was right under her nose," Mrs Clark said. "I can't understand why in God's name she has aligned herself with a candidate who opposes the development of our republic and Alaska's resource wealth," she added.

---------------------

Of course Mrs. Clark said the next day that she was "mistaken" and Sarah was never a member though by her own recent actions she clearly supports their cause

No less BS than the Ayers shit but actually more relevent.  It happens to be a radical party that has suggested it wants to secede from the US.  It's founder has made alarming statements about our country and it's current leader has done the same.

She addressed this party and supported its vision 7 months ago.

Show me some video of Obama supporting the vision of the Weather Underground or any statement of such support.

Otherwise let's just keep the shit to shoe level

Ah, I see. A governor has a duty to speak to every insane party in her state?

WIKi lists these are legitimate and recognized US political parties:
Guns and Dope Party
OWL Party (Washington State, 1976)
Straight Talking American Government Party (STAG) (defunct)
Surprise Party (defunct)
Youth International Party

Should Mccain speak to them?  Would Obama?

Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot confrontation between labor supporters and the police.The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway. (The statue was rebuilt and unveiled on May 4, 1970, and blown up again by other Weathermen on October 6, 1970.

Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days. Because of a water leak caused by the Pentagon bombing, aerial bombardments during the Vietnam War had to be halted for several days

The Alaskan Independence Party IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!

[Hereford]

An independent Alaska would probably be one of the poorest countries in the Pacific Rim. Ya, they have oil... But that's about it.

No more 'Deadliest Catch' I guess....

KEY PHRASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Later in 1969  Obama was a KID!!! Palin is endorcing this party NOW that condems the UNITED STATES...

How can you compare Ayres actions in the 60s which Obama never supported... TO PALING directly supporting this group who is taking actions NOW?

[Straw Man]

This is a NON-ISSUE and the Repugs know it.

They're just using it to distract the dumber segment of their supporters so they don't have to talk about real issues.

"My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand."

This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she tears into Barack Obama this week.

Only one problem. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that's the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. ("Keep up the good work," Palin told AIP members. "And God bless you.")

Vogler's greatest moment of glory was to be his 1993 appearance before the United Nations to denounce United States "tyranny" before the entire world and to demand Alaska's freedom. The Alaska secessionist had persuaded the government of Iran to sponsor his anti-American harangue.
 

That's right ... Iran. The Islamic dictatorship. The taker of American hostages. The rogue nation that McCain and Palin have excoriated Obama for suggesting we diplomatically engage. That Iran.
