The title for this post was taken directly from Mudflats, a progressive blog from Alaska that has posted what I think is a dynamite video that has the possibility of causing trouble for Palin-- if it could get enough exposure.
We all know that Palin is said to have been a member of the Alaska Independence Party (AIP), which is essentially a secessionist movement with the aim of making Alaska a sovereign country. Palin and the Republicans deny membership by Sarah, but it IS a given that Tod Palin was a registered member of the AIP from 1995 to 2002, when he reregistered as an undeclared voter.
The video in question is a recording from a meeting of the AIP. In it, the Vice Chairman (Dexter Clark) essentially implies that Sarah Palin is operating as a kind of infiltrator of the Republican Party in order to further the goals of the AIP.
Here's the video from YouTube (it's a long one):
For those of you on dialup, here is a partial transcript, courtesy of Mudflats:
Now, we get to the good part, just before 6:00 on the video."Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There's a joke, she's a pretty good looking gal, there's a joke goes around we're the coldest state with the hottest governor. (laughter) And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town -- that was a non-partisan job. But to get along and go along -- she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won't go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."
There is a great deal more; if you can, you should watch the whole video and you should also visit Mudflats regularly for lots of good information, and for more transcripts from this video.
My thought is that the AIP could be Palin's Rev. Wright, or Bill Ayers-- IF she can be thoroughly tied to it. We should all be aware by now of the basics of that organization, and the fact that the MSM has pretty much dropped the ball on it. But a video that goes viral demands attention, and even if the guy in this video is just a nutcase he DEFINITELY ties Palin to the Party. If we could get a 30-second loop playing over and over (as was done with the Rev. Wright video) it might have enough of an effect on the undecided voters to make a difference.
There are a lot of low information voters out there who are unlikely to be reached by facts about the TransCanada gas pipeline or Troopergate, etc. But secession? Conspiracy? Well, that's an attention getter. And since hubby Tod has been proven to have been a member, it might just rub off.
What do you think???
