Sarah Palin, Joe Vogler, and The Alaskan Independence Party

Sarah Palin and her husband Todd have had a long and, as of March 2008, ongoing association with the Alaska Independence Party. Tod Palin was a registered member of the AIP from 1995 to 2002. Sarah Palin attended several of their conventions and in March 2008 she delivered a welcoming address to the AIP convention. The Alaska Independence Party has advocated secession from the United States. Joe Vogler, the founder of the AIP, was murdered in 1993 while attempting to buy plastic explosives on the black market. Wonder what he was planning to blow up?

Why shouldn't she welcome them? The AIP is not a radical group. One radical member doesn't make the group radical. The AIP wants to govern under their own laws and not the U.S.'s, and if that makes them radicals, then so bet it. In most capacities, the members of the AIP are like a Moose lodge. They get together and slam their in-season alcohol and talk about how proud they are to be Alaskans.

And, get real, there's no way McCain didn't know. It's only a big deal when taken out of context.

Joe Vogler was not "one radical member" he was the founder of the AIP.

Advocating secession is indeed a radical position. The last time it was brought up for serious consideration we had a Civil War (1861-65) that settled the question for most reasonable people but apparently not Sarah Palin or the AIP.

So yes that does make the AIP radicals - no matter how proud or drunk they are. And it disqualifies them and Sarah Palin from any position of trust in the US government including VP.

Sarah Palin wants Alaska to secede from the USA, and she wants to be President of the USA, too. Hmm...

[TheMultioscarwinner]

The real traitors in America are Sarah Palin, George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney & the entire Bush administration. Sarah Palin is a SECESSIONIST. She along with her husband were members of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group of radicals who wanted to secede from the USA. So much for all her bullshit claims of loving America. This woman not only pals around with secessionists, SHE IS ONE.

Well ok, so ole Joe hated the American government, so what? Does not Jeremiah Wright (the pastor for 20 years to the president whom we know not where he’s from or been during his child hood) think sought of the same for the United States Gov too??? For different reasons of course but you get the point.

@MamoDad First of all, I'm not your friend..........Asswipe. Secondly, what am I "breathtakingly" ignorant off?

I must warn you. If we get into a debate, you will get your ass kicked.

@Dealit707

And you, my friend, are breathtakingly ignorant.

But you do get points for using 'you are' instead of the much more common response 'your' from the usual brain-dead Palin sycophants.

[Dealit707]

@MamoDad You are an idiot.

My last name is Vogler

Palin has been palling around with secessionists.

And Joe MIller the one she "endorsed" for Alaska is another thug. People should wake up already about the kind of thuggish men she supports.
