Palin tells the Alaskan Independence Party, founded to secede from the U.S., to 'keep up the good work'

I say Georgia breaks off!!!!! join me in a para military!!!!!!!

Well, the polls are showing that almost half of the U.S. citizens do not like Obama and his regime. Count the Nader's votes and you now have half. The regime will strip our Constitution to threads. Alot of people have died just to have the "Seseme Street" generation give it away. Switzerland is a country of rocks with guns pokin out of it. I can see Alaska being its rocky little country with guns pokin out of it too.

lol what a fuckin' nutter!

[jbraly]

Why do libs think this is so insane? A few hundred years ago, a bunch of people in a British colony FAR from England decided they didnt like the way the govt was controling their lives and they didnt like all the outrageous taxes so they seceded and America (the country you now live in with the freedoms you hold dear) was born. Now, American is like England was back then (only worse) and you libs are SHOCKED that some people would like to secede? But me a polar bear fur coat and pack my uhaul.

Believe me if a black man in this country was not on the up and up he would have been in prison long before the major players. I do not go for that garbage one bit. Palin said out of her own mouth words of praise for The Alaska Independent party. She told on herself. That party is Anti-American and now she back tracks on her praise. They did not want anything to do with the Government. Do you research.

[NoAbomination]

Oneoftheimmortals, thanks for the ABC link. I see where your statement about Todd is in their article. I also saw that 2 anonymous members claim Palin was in attendance at a meeting, but I must say I rarely give credibility to people whoare unwilling to stand behind their statement in name. Do you have other info please, this is hearsay based on what I read. Thanks.

"it's good to have competition".

Let's see some "competition" from some Islamic extremist places too then.

[angryseraph]

I don't know anything about Rezko (yet) but the Ayers link is bogus. They lived in the same neighborhood and briefly served (along with a bunch of other people) on a local school board-type committee. They didn't pal around and Obama was a kid when Ayers was arrested, released, etc. Palin's link to witchdoctors and a husband who wants to secede from the union constitute a much bigger glass house, my friend.

[NoAbomination]

Angry,

Obama told you they only knew each other from the neighborhood. It has since been factually proved that they both served on the Annnberg Challenge board and as such had regular contact. Additionally several individuals have corroborated the allegation that Ayers and Dohrn hosted Obama's political intro to the Chicago elite. Rezko, a saudi criminal in Hyde Park too. You can google their connections. I can't do your homework for you. Please google all of this. Shalom.

[NoAbomination]

I still don't understand the double standard imposed. She is being crucified for this and yet it is acceptable for Obama to have long standing professional associations with admitted terrorists such as Bill Ayers and criminals such as Tony Rezko.

[NoAbomination]

She supports the constitution !! WHAT ?!

Thank you for posting this. This only reinforces that she is the right vp pick. She respects the rights of all induviduals. I challenge anyone to give me credible proof that contradicts that, seperate of left fear smears. Participants in the Palin witch hunt are starting to look a little silly at this point. Re: "laughgate" a sad attempt which (investigation closes Oct 10) to divert attention from campaign. What about "Bill Ayers gate" ?

[goodinfo08]

Hi. To give you the benefit of the doubt, you seem to be missing the basic information of who she is delighted to welcome, and bless, and praise and who she wishes a successful convention to and who she tells to keep up the good work. Their "Ultimate goal" is seceding from the U.S. and their short-term goal is winning a vote on whether to secede. For details, visit the site at the end of the vid.

[NoAbomination]

I guess I am missing the premise of her presentation. Still..knowing what I know I simply don't understand what is so inflammatory about her address. I think that as a democracy, the AIP has their right to the convention. I did not hear her condone. Forgive me if I am missing something more.

[OneoftheImmortals]

NoAbomination, Palin's husband was a member. They want Alaska to be more like Saudi Arabia. They want Alaska to leave the United states, become its own country; there, the new country, Alaska, would own all the oil and other natural resources. This is unpatriotic.

[OneoftheImmortals]

In plain words, the party is anti-American. This is a fact, not an opinion.

[NoAbomination]

Hey OneoftheMortals, Thanks for response. Do you have link on where I can confirm Todd's membership or association? I would not want to be unjust and make an uninformed judgement of any cadidate before I vote. Thanks.

[OneoftheImmortals]

NoAbomination, Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, told ABC News that Palin's husband Todd was a member of the AIP from October 1995 through July 2002, except for a few months in 2000. He is currently undeclared.

Check your PMs for the ABC News link to 'Todd Palin, Longtime Former AIP Member' I sent you.

@goodinfo08 and why cant they secceed?

if alaska wants out let them they can join texas

and take over america with there badass

economies

[bobwardala]

I am not one of her fans but I don't see anything she is saying that looks all that bad.

[goodinfo08]

We thought the same at first. For details, visit the site at the end of the vid.

The AIP was formed with the goal of seceding from the U.S. Their founder said: "Im an Alaskan, not an American. Ive got no use for America or her damned institutions."

And other weird stuff.

Palin says she is delighted to welcome them, praises them for playing 'an important role in Alaska and endorses their work: "Good luck on a successful and inspiring convention, keep up the good work and God bless you."

[bubba2612]

What happened last night to the open and transparent politics Palin stands for in the Trooper gate?

Rep's are blocking it as part of their sleazy campain.

She learned fast: once you in the neighbourhood of the White House, you do not have to keep your promise. She knew already how to lie.

Monegan: Tell the world what the truth is.

[jeffea1]

She doesn't say anything particularly damning here.

[goodinfo08]

Everybody has different opinions on what they consider damning, but would McCain endorsing the work of the Arizona Independence Party's efforts to secede from the U.S be damning? And would it be if he delighted in welcoming them to their convention, praising them, blessing them and saying he hopes they have a successful convention (which would

ultimately lead to the U.S. losing Arizona and thereby make McCain no longer be eligible to run for president? Or if Obama or Biden did the same.

[RozMW]

Wow, seriously this woman is a TRAITOR.  I found the reference to this video from a blog and I'm also amazed that the media hasn't picked up on this! The woman wanted her state to seceded! My God and now their thinking of her has VP? WTF??!!!!!

[prettyblkgyrl]

WOW - I wonder when the media will get a hold of this footage. & when will the Republican's declare her ACTIONS to be un-American?

She may not be a card carrying member of the AIP - but in her own words - she wishes them a successful & inspiring convention!!!

I wonder how it will be spun to make her seem like the most patriotic person in the world!!

[Mycos1]

"Good luck" on their attempt to break up the USA?

And conservatives have the nerve to say that people who oppose the Iraq war are "traitors to the country" This is the textbook definition of treason!

[prettyblkgyrl]

I agree with your observation 1000%
