Ties between Sarah Palin and Alaska Independence Party

[DevonSartori]

The word is "Secession"

[NewMexicanBob]

Anyone in favor of seccesion is a friend of mine. I am tired of being a slave to the corrupt evils of washington, dc, the slime pit, the open sewer, the cess poll of the world.

[jigglesnap]

sEcessionist, not sUcessionist.

[shbycbra427]

Well on the plus side, she will probably try to get Alaska to seceed should she becomes vp. Then if something would happen to Senator McCain, she would try to assume the role of president only to find that she is no longer a United State citizen, but an Alaskan one instead. Sounds like the type of dumb thing that she would try to do.

[jimdelriobkr]

Yeah, I've known she was an anti-American secessionist for a long time. Her and Todd both. I don't think McCain knew this. She wasn't vetted properly. She's dangerous and as unAmerican as it gets. She just wants our money.

She and Todd were members of AKIP twice as I understand it. I know Todd was a member for about 8 years. The founder, Joe Voegler was probably a terrorist.

[vrknoise]

They misspelled Secessionist.

And I wonder what that single blue star behind her inflated head represents. Hmmmm....

[mrbluto3]

Sarah Palin is a commie.

Treason

[redwhiteandblue80]

fucking traitor

[jonnobabylon]

Dexter Clark, Vice Chairman of the AIP says:

"Our current governor the one we were hoping would get elected, SARAH PALIN, did get elected. And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP MEMBER before she got the job as a mayor of a small town- that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along-she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics.. and she is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."

[bgills]

i'm all for pointing out her hypocrisy and all...but you might want to fix "succession from the United States" - It's "SECESSION" - as in they want to Secede...not Succeed. duh. Kind of renders the whole thing moot when you look like just as big of a moron.

[jonnobabylon]

PUTIN supports all separatists: Georgia, Ukraine, Kosovo, Moldova and ALASKA. Google 'Alaska Independence Movement PRAVDA' Google: 'Secessionist Sarah: VP pick Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party' and "Alaska Would Be More at Home in Russia"..

[prettyblkgyrl]

I'm deeply troubled by the msm's LACK OF CONSISTENCY when it comes to reporting on REAL issues.

*remember the weeks of continuous Rev. Wright coverage?*

Yet - in light of this significant development - NOTHING!!

1. Gov. Palin says "good luck on a successful & inspiring convention" to a party looking to secede from America. If this were a Obama or his wife - they'd immediately be labeled traitors.

2. Palin's husband was a registered member of this party for 7 YEARS!

who is covering this?

[gidalani]

Are you fucking kidding ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[christiv3]

Palin said in her inauguration speech that the Alaska Constitution will

"guide me as governor. It demands that ALASKANS COME FIRST. Our founding documents then were shaped to fulfill promises that we be self-sufficient and SELF-DETERMINED. I will unambiguously, steadfastly and doggedly guard the interests of this great state as a mother naturally guards her own"

[meowomon]

The rethuglicans must be stopped before the idiot in chief does any more to the Constitution.

[justjaded07]

oh and there are green people on Mars. Yes we lie as democrats we are all stupid. We have lobsters growing out of our ears.

This campain is insane, i have never sen anything like it. Jesus crist! has the GOP really lost there damn minds? rename it party first not country first...

[queerquegg]

The AIP chair has since apologized and clarified that Gov. Palin has NEVER been a member of their party.

More Demorat lies ;)

[itsmyrant]

umm no it was the AIP that said she was, and then they say she wasn't. Btw I am not a memeber of either party. As such all the facts are not present still. For some bizzare reasons republicans and democrats feel any investigation for facts is an attempt at slander.

[Brand131]

I think she was too. If you watch this video Dexter Clark(vice chairman of aip) refers to her as an ex-member: watch?v=7Re0vmbtHK8&feature=re­lated

For the full vid: watch?v=_NK2sFJebGc&feature=re­lated

[youngflymista]

hello, don't you smell something fishy, or do you enjoy being made a fool?

Obviously the Republicans went up to Alaska to try and kill the story. They probably paid some people to change their positions. But the videos on youtube aren't going to disappear.

If you want to be in denial, and are willing to support a separatist then go ahead. But don't come here with Republican talking points and passing them on as truth. Read between the lines sometimes.

[Lungyao1]

She just fucking told you that she shared their vision! WTF is wrong with you?

[televin]

1) If the AIP chair apologized for stating that Palin was not a member how exactly is that a Democratic lie

2) Sara Palins HUSBAND ( not a pastor in her church) belonged to this party from 1995-2002 WITHOUT QUESTION. A party that wants to bring secession to a vote to Alaskans. A party whose founder said I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."

[televin]

Now don't you think it is a LITTLE hyporcritical to criticze Barack for the words of a pastor spoken over a 25 year period or Michelle for her fist bump of Obama YET NOT CARE AT ALL that the Republican VP candidate has a HUSBAND who belonged to a party that CLEARLY did not love America???

[jakesilv]

Watch the video yourself... Palin is for smaller federal and state government, much like all "traditional" republicans. I think you need to do some more research. I don't think you understand what you're posting here. She is clearly not for the succesion of Alaska.

[emack06]

Yes, she does supports AIP. This party is a separatist group. The party chairman stated she was a member prior to becoming mayor of walaloosee, Alaska. She scares the heck out of me. If she becomes the VP....she will have McCain knocked -off and with her new found power as the pres of the U.S., she will gladly give Alaska its indendence from the U.S. Thus, trashing our constitution again. Then she will lead us into another propaganda - armageddon style holy war against Islam.

[itsmyrant]

AIP only makes up 7% of the Alaskan vote, which clearly means they have no power, even if Palin comes into power. There is a real problem with her patriotism. My concerns with her being in power are not the lose of Alaska but rather we should have someone with ties to U.S. hating organization. As well as Energy Policy, Economy, and Envirometa Policy. She clearly does not have a good enviromental record, and she shows no signs of wanting to end American dependence on oil.

[itsmyrant]

Actually its not clear from the video. Which is why this should be adressed. Despite registering republican she can still support AIP, and clearly they like her from other AIP videos. It is clear her husband was a member.

[redwhiteandblue80]

oh no thats why she says keep up the good work to a bunch of separatists dumbass

[droneant]

When is the media and the democratic party going to address this issue? I could careless she has a pregnant daughter, or that she is a woman. It appears her husband was indeed a member of Alaska Independence Party. Why would someone stay married to someone if they too were not part of the same fringe group? Its one thing for a Republican to marry a Democrat. Its another for someone that should love their country to marry someone in a party that does not love this country.
