- blackdaisies, on 10/07/2008, -7/+189If Governor Palin believes bringing up whatever connections Senator Obama had with Ayers is fair play, then Americans should definitely hear about her ties to the Alaska secessionists. If there is any way to defend her against these facts, then by all means, bring it on.

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.
/FTA - Dan1400, on 10/07/2008, -9/+115The msm needs to pick this story up and run with it. But I doubt they will. They go out of their way to protect McCain.
- diggapleeeze, on 10/07/2008, -4/+90MSM definitely needs to cover this story more. Also FTA:
"Imagine the uproar if Michelle Obama was revealed to have joined a black nationalist party whose founder preached armed secession from the United States and who enlisted the government of Iran in his cause? The Obama campaign would probably not have survived such an explosive revelation. Particularly if Barack Obama himself was videotaped giving the anti-American secessionists his wholehearted support just months ago." - pennsykid2000, on 10/07/2008, -8/+79What’s more traitorous than wanting to secede from the U.S.? And that is hardly someone Sarah Palin “pals around with”; it’s her damn husband!
Plenty to say about McCain's "terrorist" connections as well:
HuffPost: “But what about McCain's own associations with former 60's radicals? Indeed, until just a few years ago, McCain openly boasted not only about his passing friendship but also his deep collaboration with one of the most prominent of Vietnam-era student radicals, David Ifshin. The same David Ifshin who denounced America on Radio Hanoi as McCain sat locked up as a POW.”
As usual, McCain is oblivious to how his smears will come back to haunt him. - Carolab444, on 10/07/2008, -7/+74Please make this VIRAL!
- phroztbyt3, on 10/07/2008, -8/+68Palin tried opening up the can of hate...... now we've opened up a can o whoopass. Heads will roll you conservative shmucks.... well those who support that type of blasphemy.
CHANGE!... Obama/Biden 08 - kteachums, on 10/07/2008, -5/+56Let's dig this up and put it out there. The American public would definitely be interested in it.
- Echota, on 01/05/2009, -7/+51Hey! The Trash Keeps comming out!
The Palins' Secessionist Group Was Supported By Iran!
The entry links to a Salon.com article that talks about how Todd Palin, Sarah's husband, belonged to a secessionist group, the Alaskan Independence Party. Iran, the sponsor of terrorism, also sponsored the founder of the Alaskan Independence Party to speak before the United Nations in 1993.
http://digg.com/politics/The_Palins_Secessionist_G ... - oscarrob, on 10/07/2008, -6/+48Let's see -- supported by Iran, openly anti-american and Palin spoke at their convention this year, saying she shared their vision. Gosh and golly Sarah, whatcha havta say about that?
- SheilaNoya, on 10/07/2008, -2/+40As more and more truth comes out about McCain and Palin's past, the McCain camp just redoubles their efforts to paint the media as a bunch of liars. At every rally, they bash the media and call them liars. Their plan seems to be to tell people they should just be mindless sheep and not listen to anything unless McCain or Palin says it.
They're acting like cult leaders now. - skewer324, on 10/07/2008, -2/+26In before all the Republican apologists pointing out "liberal bias," "gotcha journalism," and "the pro nObama Digg bots" or some such nonsense.
Please please please Republicans. Give us a valid and clear reason why this is okay and why you're voting for this violent treasonous woman. (We all know McCain and Biden don't matter much in this campaign; it's all Obama and Palin now.) - jackieblu, on 10/07/2008, -3/+27The AIG doesn't like us down here in the lower 48 very much!
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -2/+25As an American, I am embarrassed that Sarah Palin has a chance of becoming our next VP.
- jackieblu, on 10/07/2008, -3/+25Palin's sleeping around with the "first dude" of the AIG, and she's at the very least a sympathizer. You know, they don't like us Americans- down here in the lower 48 very much... McCain lots of blow back with this guilt by association - you betcha!
- magus_melchior, on 10/07/2008, -1/+21Don't be so sure. Fox News and friends will definitely keep this one under wraps, but McCain pissed off a lot of journalists and producers with his theatrics and accusations. Keith Olbermann's already aired this one out; I wouldn't be surprised if others follow, even if he is unabashedly biased.
- allowners, on 10/07/2008, -2/+21Shameful palling around with extremists!
- Caffeinate, on 10/08/2008, -1/+19An elected official has to sit next to another elected official, that is their job. Palin's husband was not required to join a group that advocated Alaska succession and got the support of Iran. In what realm do you think this is exactly the same thing? Obama wasn't out joining the KKK himself and lobbying enemy nations for support on his free time!
- cherwilco, on 10/08/2008, -3/+21wanna spell out exactly how lajaw? I would love it if you would maybe shed some for the rest of us that have known about this for weeks!
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -6/+24Bitch's asking for it.
I wish she would just go away, this all feels like some sick joke. - kayk815, on 10/07/2008, -4/+20Palin is pathetic!!
- enantiodromia, on 10/08/2008, -2/+17ok, it's a little hard to decipher your crazy ramblings, but I think I get the general gist of your comment:
"Obama is a pure socialist, even though the bailout could not have passed without bipartisan support and the support of the President, and even though McCain made a huge deal about "suspending" his campaign to get this uberSocialist bailout passed, it's Obama Obama Obama who is to blame.
Obama is friends with a bunch of people he hasn't talked to in years or decades, and that makes him scary, but McCain's role in Iran/Contra and the S&L bailout and dangerous deregulation are all part of being a good guy.
Yes, Palin is guilty of this charge, but it is the only thing she has been guilty of. Of course, a State declaring independence from the Union raises no worries, and I think she'll do a great job as VP.
I am a huge closet homosexual, but I am too scared to admit I think about other dude's boners, so I'll swing hard the other way and call everyone else "*****", hoping that some day someone will call my bluff, and bend me over in the locker room shower and call me Mary."
is that about right? - hiriumi, on 10/08/2008, -1/+16Main stream media picked up on Bill Ayer, but not this? WTF?
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -4/+18I wonder if McCain/Palin (aka Magoo/Yahoo) are sorry already for bringing up the guilt by association meme?
- wgadmin, on 10/08/2008, -3/+17Seriously, why does Palin hate America so much?
- HonestAbe, on 10/08/2008, -1/+15The only thing that's been refuted was when the Vice Chairman of the AIP said she used to be a member of the AIP. She was not in fact a registered member. But the fact that he thought she was says a lot. He then goes on to say that she was only posing as a Republican in order to get elected; to "infiltrate the major political parties".
"Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected... to get along and go along — she eventually joined the Republican Party"

Nope she wasn't involved with this anti-American party at all:

"The fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American government" - meese, on 10/08/2008, -0/+14I get your general point, but isn't secession one of the very few things that by definition is un-American? Because the whole goal of secession is *no longer be American*.
- somegeologist, on 10/08/2008, -4/+171) Join AIP
2) Secede from USA
3) Align with Iran and join OPEC
4) Profit!! - RodBorn, on 10/08/2008, -2/+15oops,
seems like the lipstick has come back to bite the bulldog on the ass. - johnnr2, on 10/07/2008, -2/+14The Iran connection wasn't known when Olberman aired it out. This is new.
- bitsculptor, on 10/08/2008, -1/+13It's great that more of the skeletons in her closet have decided to make an appearance. A bit surprising that this batch is carrying loaded magnums and screaming for revolt against the union, though. :)
- meese, on 10/08/2008, -0/+12His name isn't Harry Byrd, it's *Robert* Byrd, and he wasn't a leader in the KKK.
- SQLserver, on 10/08/2008, -2/+13Are you actually serious?
Obama knew a guy 10-20 years ago who was connected with a domestic terrorist organization.
In the last few years Palin has practically endorsed a modern terrorist/extremist organization which her husband is a large part of.
Hello?
Oh, and I love how "Pinko" is supposed to be a bad thing. - teamgwho, on 10/08/2008, -1/+12we asked first. Also Obama has already answered the question. Palin hasn't, and in fact her husband is still a member of the group. At least Obama had common enough sense to leave Wright's church.
- teamgwho, on 10/08/2008, -3/+14rather then address the issue raised here, you decide simply to criticize Obama and anyone who supports Obama. Gee, wonder why you couldn't address the issue and had to divert the topic?
Hmm... I wonder why... - EarlOfLade, on 10/08/2008, -2/+12All of Keith Olbermans Countdown tonight is about McCain and Palins terrorist connections and there is a lot...
Iran, Taliban, that crazy dude up in Alaska who hates USA. racist and fascist groups financing death squads in Nicaragua. - blackdaisies, on 10/08/2008, -0/+10Nobody has won yet until the votes on November 4th are cast and counted. There's no reason to stop fighting at this point. There's a month left.
- jonmlm, on 10/08/2008, -1/+11ummm looks like the guy found a lead and ran with it. it's called journalism. care to comment on the content?
- Murdats, on 10/08/2008, -3/+13"the MSN will check their sources and not report on rumor and innuendo. "
are you watching the same media as the rest of us? - gwolf, on 10/08/2008, -4/+14That's because your a racist ass and there's no hope for you. You pay lip service to the constitution and the bill of rights but you don't believe in any of that. You should have been born in the 1930's in Germany with the rest of the fascist, and then we would be rid of you too.
- FranktheBank, on 10/08/2008, -2/+12When will she be confronted on this? Does the Republican party have an answer? Why does it seem like there is little to no recourse to have these things responded to by the politicians running for the highest office?
Is it a conincidence that she just had to get to Alaska to have her baby on Alaskan soil, despite having her water break before boarding a commercial flight and AIP ties like this?
This is far worse than any association Obama didn't have with Ayers... - FranktheBank, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10It's not about that. Everyone's ***** stinks. But when you start saying that your ***** doesn't stink, and that someone else's ***** stinks real bad, intelligent people are going to want to find out why you think your ***** don't stink and smell it. People who live in ***** houses shouldn't throw their *****.
*****. - SQLserver, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10Palin had the CHOICE to support a modern anti-american organization within a last few years.
Obama NEVER supported Ayers, and they were simply acquaintances 10-20 years ago. - manbeef, on 10/08/2008, -0/+9Clearly you didn't look very hard:
http://www.akip.org/goals.html
http://www.akip.org/faqs.html - Eric-tile, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10I hope she stays around. There's a greater chance that McCain will fail due to her presence.
- fuse13, on 10/08/2008, -0/+9pretend for a moment that the person they are talking about is a Democrat, then you might get it.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10Oh ffs! It's biasED!
- twiztidsinz, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10Well then, pull your head out of your ass and wipe the ***** off your eyes, you ***** ignorant piece of trash bigot.
- Arrowette, on 10/08/2008, -2/+10Obama has more experience than President Abraham Lincoln did. (The latter had two years of political experience total, in the legislative branch.)
- robbiedo, on 10/08/2008, -1/+9Why does she get a free pass to pull this shiate? Hillary is a woman, the Repubs are ruthless with her. Are we really so smitten and weakened because she has a waning physical appeal? All I see is ugliness, and growing cankles.
While I am no McCain supporter, I know he is fundamentally one of the good guys regardless of my disagreements with him. Sarah Palin is truly dangerous, and she needs a quick political demise at the ballot box. Lisa Simpson and Paul Anka sing, "Just don't look!" -
