Pensieri di un lunatico minore

Sarah Palin and domestic terrorists

Let’s be direct here. There’s a big difference between having met and worked on an educational committee with a reformed radical from 40 years ago, and participating in a radical secessionist group. CNN explores the ties between Sarah and Todd Palin (who was a member of the AIP), the Alaska Independence Party and the John Birch Society:

Now some people are saying there’s no difference, but there’s a big difference between working on a non-political committee for education efforts with a reformed radical of 40 years ago, and signing up for membership in a secessionist party that has both delusions of grandeur and a violent history (the leader was killed during an explosives sale gone bad).

Really? If the McCain-Palin campaign is so intent that this is irrelevant, why can’t they spare 15 minutes of Todd Palin’s time to discuss why it’s not relevant that he signed up for this group. And a few minutes of Ms. Palin’s time to explain why it’s OK for Sarah Palin to send a personal greeting from the governor to their party’s 2008 convention telling them that they “play an important role” and that she “shares [the] parties vision”.

Either she agrees with their platform, or she’s even dumber about not vetting what she signs her name and the government’s reputation to.
