MC CAIN CAMPAIGN, SLIDING TO OBLIVION IN THE POLLS, GOES NEGATIVE AND USES PALIN AS ITS ATTACK DOG

The dishonesty and cowardice of the right

I posted the italicized text below on a conservative blog called Mike's America, over the weekend.

I also posted it on a blog call The Conservative News.

Mike's America blog scrubbed my comments on the Palins' involvement with the treasonous, antiAmerican, Alaskan Independence Party, and the other, The Conservative News, called me a nut job for pointing it out.

If the conservative movement wants to know why their candidates are doing so poorly, all they need to do is look at themselves in the mirror. They create their own little comfy conservative world, and, as we can see, it's devoid of all reality.

Don't like the fact that the Palins were associated with an antiAmerican group? Just pretend it never happened; and when someone brings it up, delete it or call them nuts. Yeah. That'll work.

Here is the post I left on the two blogs:

While campaigning this weekend, Palin referred to an article in Saturday's New York Times about Obama's relationship with Ayers, now 63. But that article concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.'"

Several other publications, including the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, The New Yorker and The New Republic, have debunked the idea that Obama and Ayers had a close relationship.

If Sarah Palin wants to talk about palling around with people who find America less than perfect, then it's time to talk about her association with the Alaska Independence Party (AIP), the secessionist group whose founder, Joe Vogler once said:

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'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions.

Palin's complete dealings with the group isn't entirely clear, and unfortunately we can't ask Mr. Vogler about it since he was murdered in a plastic explosives sale gone bad," but we do know this: Sarah Palin probably attended the AIP convention 1994, the McCain campaign admits she attended in 2000, and as governor, Palin taped a welcoming message to them in 2006, saying:

"Your party plays an important role in our state's politics. I've always said that competition is so good, and that applies to political parties as well. I share your party's vision of upholding the constitution of our great state... So I say good luck on a successful and inspiring convention. Keep up the good work, and God bless you."

So Palin says "God bless you." to a group of people who hate America?

Add to that, Todd Palin, aka, the "First Dude," was a registered member of AIP from 1995 until 2002, coincidentally changing his party affiliation when she began her first campaign for public office.

I'd say that was an extremely close association with a group of traitors--her own husband belonged to that group of treasonous America haters. That's rather close, eh?

So, we have Sarah Palin, actively involved with a secessionist group that professes its hatred for America, and whose husband was a card-carrying member of the group for seven years.

If Sarah Palin wants to talk about questionable associations, bring it on.

And then we can discuss McCain's shameful behavior in the Keating Five Scandal--which is also a discussion on his "character."

In any event, the American people don't actually give a fig about this crap--the economy is the most important issue, and the McCain campaign knows that and is trying to take the focus off of it.
