Sarah Palin's Troopergate Scandal Reveals Her Fundamentalist Street Cred
http://www.alternet.org/election08/99661/sarah_palin%27s_troopergate_scandal_reveals_her_fundamentalist_street_cred/


Shedding further light on Palin's pattern of advocating Christian right ideology and her ties to the movement.


Editor's note: This is a round-up of two key articles that reveal more about Palin's Christian Right ties.

Kopp Hiring Proved Palin's Fundamentalist Street Cred

by Alan Boraas, Anchorage Daily News

So far Gov. Palin's handling of Alaska's Troopergate has focused on why Commissioner of Public Safety Walt Monegan was fired. An equally important question is why Chuck Kopp was hired to replace him.

1. Yes, it's important to know who got the job Monegan was tossed
out of:

"Kenai City Police Chief Chuck Kopp was a rising star in Alaska's Christian conservative movement. He was a frequent speaker at local religious and patriotic gatherings. He was school board president of Cook Inlet Academy, the fundamentalist Christian high school in Soldotna his missionary-educator father founded. Kopp also was on the board of Port Alsworth's Tanailan Bible Camp, also founded by his father."
