More Joe Miller lies exposed re his "security" guards
http://www.adn.com/2010/10/18/1507982/questions-surround-use-of-security.html


Was Joe Miller required to bring a security detail to his town hall meeting Sunday at Central Middle School?

That's what Miller, the Republican Senate candidate, told two national cable news networks Monday in the wake of the arrest by his security squad of an online journalist at his public event.

But the school district said there was no such requirement made of Miller -- he only had to provide a hall and parking lot monitor, and advise participants of school district courtesy and food rules.

Meanwhile, the Army says that two of the guards who assisted in the arrest of the journalist and who tried to prevent two other reporters from filming the detention were active-duty soldiers moonlighting for Miller's security contractor, the Drop Zone, a Spenard surplus store and protection service.

This is a really interesting article and more trouble for Joe. Not only did he look like an asshole, but the moonlighting soldiers may be in trouble with their command, as well.

1. "I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the
United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

So much for that oath that both of those soldiers swore to.

2. I've met Alaskans
And they seem to be a pretty level-headed bunch. No smarter than people from other parts of the country, and certainly no stupider. But the idea that so many of them are taken in by the likes of Joe Miller is just sad.
