Slog - Comments on The Palin Clown Car http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/preaching_hate A knocked up daughter, a husband who hates America, and an ongoing investigation into abuse of power. Anything else about to jump out of the clown car that is Sarah Palin? Well, how about this: on top of everything else Sarah Palin has a preacher problem! David Brickner, founder of the Jews for Jesus, came to Sarah Palin's church to preach recently and you'll never be able to guess what he had to say. Brickner... explained that Jesus and his disciples were themselves Jewish. “The Jewish community, in particular, has a difficult time understanding this reality,” he said.... Brickner also...

"Keeping up with the tidal wave of what’s hitting the fan in Alaska is fast becoming a full-time job. It feels like that old-time video game "Centipede". It’s easy at first to blast those little centipedes as they work their way down the screen, but the longer you play the faster they come and bigger they get, and the more you have to work to keep them in check."

I mean, sure...she's going to appeal to the extreme-right wingnuts. She's one of their own. But if I know midwesterners (and having grown up there, I think I do), they're going to see Palin as the unqualified, bat-shit-crazy consequence of pandering that she is.

The Republican party has let the Clampetts seize the election, and it's going to hurt them badly with real people.

"World War II brought an influx of blacks to Alaska as the military began work on the Alaska Highway and to fortify Alaska. Black military engineers and port battalions were assigned to Alaska. More than 3,000 black engineers worked on the Alaska Highway. Black battalions were also assigned to the Aleutian Islands during the Aleutian campaign."

The founder of the Alaska Independence Party -- a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years -- once professed his "hatred for the American government" and cursed the American flag as a "damn flag."

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government," Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.

"And I won't be buried under their damn flag," Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. "I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."

The Lies begin to unfurl

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/alaska-party-official-says-palin-was-not-a-member/

"On Tuesday night, Ms. Clark said that her initial statement was incorrect and had been based on erroneous information provided by another member of the party whom she declined to identify. The McCain campaign also disputed the Times report, saying that Ms. Palin had been registered consistently as a Republican.

After checking the party’s archives, Ms. Clark said that she could find no documentation that Governor Palin had been a member of the party. She said Ms. Palin attended the party’s 1994 and 2006 conventions and provided a video-taped address as governor to the 2008 convention. "
