Palin's Anti-American "Pals"

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

So said Joe Vogler, the founder of the Alaska Independence Party. According to Salon.com, the AIP is an armed secessionist group of 20,000 (which is HUGE considering Alaska is home to only 600,000 people), of which Todd Palin was a member for seven years and to which Sarah Palin said just a few months ago as Governor of Alaska, ""Keep up the good work, and God bless you."

Here's a nice piece of irony -- the McCain-Palin motto is "Country First," while the AIP motto is "Alaska First -- Alaska Always."

As if that wasn't enough, AIP Chairwoman Lynette Clark says:

"I've admired Sarah from the first time I met her at the 2006 (AIP) convention," which Palin also addressed, says Clark. "She impressed me so much. She's Alaskan to the bone; she's a damn good gal.

"As I was listening to her, I thought she sounds like what we've been saying for years. I thought to myself, 'My God, she sounds just like Joe Vogler.'"

Joe Vogler. Joe Vogler who said, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." He also said, "In the federal government are the biggest liars in the United States, and I hate them with a passion...I hope we don't have to take human life, but if [representatives of the US government] go on tramping on our property rights, look out, we're ready to die."

AIP members are proudly anti-American and Palin has addressed their national convention. Twice. Including this year!

Somehow this information is less interesting to the mainstream media than the idea that former 60s radical Bill Ayers and Obama may know each other. Even if they did cross paths (not spoke, or exchange cooking tips, but cross paths) on board meetings for The Annenberg Project in the 1990s, by then Ayers was being awarded Citizen Of The Year by the City of Chicago! Is Chicago's Citizen of the Year a worse guy to associate with than an entire party based on suceeding from the United States of America, violently if necessary?

Read more, then hope that the Obama campaign is ready to hit back with this to counter all of the Bill Ayers hot air and that the mainstream media gives it at least as much coverage.
