AIP Just Hit CNN!!!!!

[WeDidIt]

Just brought up on American Morning!!!

Mentioned it was a secessionist party.

[Guava Jelly]

1. saw that

:rofl:

[Blue Gardener]

2. Yeah!

Palin is toast.

[Cali_Democrat]

3. YES!!!

:woohoo:

[K Gardner]

4. I'm missing it... keep those of us at work posted !

[krkaufman]

25. Good golly, where do you work so early in the AM? Ouch. nt

[K Gardner]

34. ERs don't ever close.. lucky us :-) And its even earlier on the West Coast !

[krkaufman]

35. Double-plus ouch! I'd assumed you were East Coast. Ugh! nt

[renie408]

5. Yep and her lobbying for pork and how McCain didn't vet her thoroughly.

And the Repuke talking head kept saying, "Obviously McCain's campaign vetted her thoroughly." Really? Is that REALLY obvious? Cause I am telling you, if he DID vet her thoroughly....DAMN!

[krkaufman]

32. Agreed.... damn! She's got a lot of warts for a thoroughly vetted candidate.

I have to wonder, too, at the amateur move allowing Palin to lie on the Bridge to Nowhere issue in her introduction/acceptance speech. It was such an unambiguous statement that is easily refutable. And same for her ~strong stance against earmarks~.

[MichaelHarris]

6. I'm going in deep where no person should go

Fox and Friends, I may not make it out.

[Liberal Dose]

7. Tie a rope around your waist and hand the other end to someone you trust!! eom

[MichaelHarris]

9. I tossed a softball in first

it came back real slimy.

[mucifer]

8. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

:rofl:

[MichaelHarris]

10. not a word so far

just man grooming or man scaping, whatever the hell that is.

[NewJeffCT]

22. If it makes Fox, you can be sure that Palin is on her way out

They'd never put it on the air otherwise.

[WeDidIt]

11. Just a cursory mention

I'm betting news organizations are going for actual voter registration records.

This should develop fully by the end of the day.

[Douglas Carpenter]

12. HALLELUJAH!!! I'm lifting my hands in the air and praising the Lord right now!!

BTW: HUFFINGTON POST NOW HAS AN EXCELLENT NEWS AND RESEARCH PAGE DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO SARAH PALIN:

[everything-bolt-up]

13. We on the tubes need to hammer the AIP story even more...

Digg the story, rate up the You tube video with Palin endorsing the AIP party etc etc..let's keep at it. If we don't work and define this ....this....PLAIN and her hypocrisy, the MSN will give it a pass!

Especially the video where the AIP Pres was saying Palin went over to the Repukes to "move on and up". Anyone have a link for that youtube video???

We need to keep it up. I am firmly on this side now....keep the cameras rolling folks!!

[krkaufman]

27. I'd hope somebody puts together a mashup video, summarizing the issue

The original videos aren't of much use for informing a wider audience, given their length.

[Douglas Carpenter]

14. one kick --- this is a BIG story!!

[pnorman]

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

That phrase, quoted elsewhere on DU, is attributed to the founder of the AIP, Reportedly, Ms. Palin was not only a member of that outfit, but was present at it's conventions! I'm still Googling it for veracity, but it appears to be correct.

I agree fully with other posters on DU, that her children should be OFF LIMITS, but THIS is relevant to the discussion!

[NewJeffCT]

21. It was all over DU & DailyKos yesterday

DUer Symbolman's sister & brother-in-law are high ranking members of AIP and he can vouch for both of them as being honest.

[Waiting For Everyman]

16. Yup, saw that too! Loved it!

Julian Epstein did it, several times, and he wasn't weak about it at all. He was going for jugular and I got the feeling he'll keep doing it.

I'm surprised too, that somebody had the nerve to latch on to that. But I'm glad. That's a winner to bring up.

Palin's UNPATRIOTIC. That won't wash with most voters. Even fundies.

[Waiting For Everyman]

17. AIP Video Links

[Meshuga]

18. AIG is a company :-)

I am sure you mean AIP. :-)

[Waiting For Everyman]

19. CNN ran the clip of Obama calling her town Wa-SILLY again!!

:rofl: I love that one!

It's the one where he slams her for getting millions in federal money for her town. Earmark Sarah.

24. the VERY Conservative Daily Telegraph of London is now running the story

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/johnmccain/2667214/John-McCains-running-mate-Sarah-Palin-was-in-Alaskan-independence-party.html

The Telegraph (frequently called the Toryagraph)has long and deep links to the British Conservative Party and could, never - ever be accused of having a bias against McCain:

John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin was in Alaskan independence party

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/johnmccain/2667214/John-McCains-running-mate-Sarah-Palin-was-in-Alaskan-independence-party.html

"News of Mrs Palin's former membership comes as the latest in a string of potentially embarrassing disclosures about her past.

The party has lobbied since the 1970s for the right to hold a referendum on whether Alaska should secede from the United States. Its motto, "Alaska First", contrasts sharply with the John McCain campaign slogan: "Country First."

It seeks "the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska" and aims to be "self-sufficient" by using profits from Alaskan oil and gas resources. It claims that the vote held in 1958 which led to Alaska becoming the 49th state of the US was corrupt and did not offer a proper choice.

While it is thought that Mrs Palin officially left the party to become a Republican in 1996, she recorded an address for its convention earlier this year in which she said: "I share your party's vision of upholding the constitution of our great state" and told members to "keep up the good work".

Lynette Clark, the chairman of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP), confirmed to ABC News that Mrs Palin and her husband Todd had both been both members and attended at least one party convention.

"When she joined the party our platform was right under her nose, " Mrs Clark said. "I can't understand why in God's name she has aligned herself with a candidate who opposes the development of our republic and Alaska's resource wealth," she added.

28. This is fun!

It's like Christmas! And what is with CNN actually doing its job.

And Good Morning America just ran the "hookers and blow lobbyist parties" story about the RNC again.

[Marnieworld]

29. Nice

A secessionist to the party of Lincoln? You can't write this shit. :rofl:

[bronxiteforever]

30. K & R. This is a huge issue

[Rockholm]

31. America First! Apparently Not.

What a grand choice Palin is!!!!!

[krkaufman]

33. Heck, if Palin had had no further contact with the AIP since she became Mayor ...

... this might not be so critical, but her speech to the convention earlier this year sorta seals the deal.

[WeDidIt]

37. Yep, that's the zinger when combined with their stance of infiltrating

the major parties.

[Demi_Babe]

36. AWESOME
