Orly Taitz Smacked Down: Birther Lawsuit Dismissed
They've both proven themselves to be confused, uneducated, hateful, uber-ambitious, self-serving, right-wing extremists, eager to play the race/gender/class/character/fear card.
They epitomize everything wrong with Washington politics - they are, by far, the very dirtiest of candidates - moderate "mavericks" they are not.
They are pathetic cartoon characters who attract the scariest backwoods extremists and warmongers to their rallies and use inflammatory remarks to stir emotions, prey on fears, and even encourage bigotry and incite verbal threats against the opposition.
They are dragging this campaign and our country down into gutter. They are an utter disgrace.
She thinks she can wink, wear high heels and act cute and cuddly. Maybe it plays in Alaska, but it won't work in most places.
Troopergate is going to be her public undoing and she can go home and stop collecting her per diem, live on her dead lake and shoot wolves from hubbies airplane..
What a life..
at times, and truly 'tells it like it is'........
With the continuous drumbeat of the Ayres rant, why haven't the media given any attention to Ms. Palin's association with the Alaskan Independence Party(AIP). The premise of the McCain's McCarthy-esque attacks on Obama, apparently, is guilt by association. Maybe this would be a good time to examine Palin's association with the AIP. The AIP's creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler. The central purpose of the AIP is to drive Alaska's secession from the United States. In 1992 Vogler renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism. The AIP has stated that Palin was not a member, and the McCain campaign has denied that Palin ever joined this organization. However, Dexter Clark, vice Chairman of the AIP, stated at the AIP 2008 convention that "she was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town – that was a non-partisan job."
Palin's husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002. Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a "fellow traveler." While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska. The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!
So when Palin accuses Barack of "not seeing the same America as you and me," maybe she is referring to an America without Alaska. In any case, isn't it time the media start giving equal time to Palin's buddy list of anti-American bombers and other radical associates?
What about Talis Colberg, Alaska's Attorney General, will he be accountable in the witness tampering?The Branchflower report was asked for by more Repubs lawmakers then Dems it was not partisan...as an Alaskan from the Wasilla area it is a well known fact that Palin is a grudge holding bully...she fired our top cop because he wouldn't fire her sisters ex husband and then she lied about it...
