Holy shit.

I am in utter disbelief here because the Repubs can grasp at straws like with Ayers and Wright and get a shitload of mileage out of it, but there is so much shit on Palin that will likely never get to the MSM.

lol librul media.

A member of a party that has the goal of seceding from the USA is a traitor to our country in my humble opinion.

The party believes the vote to become a state was improperly handled and it's not as if their claim lacks merit. Their goal is a simple revote; some would rather their state be a territory, some would rather it be independent. Probably won't happen. Doesn't make them zOMG evil traitors.

It looks like as governor she fired all the people associated with a dairy industry working for the state, replaced them all with new people, the operation went under in a month or two and almost all the equipment ended up with one of her allies for deeply discounted prices. I just skimmed though.

No kidding... I suppose I'd be happy if just one or two of these things make it big in the media coverage, at this point there has been enough shit dug up on her that the average voter probably wouldn't be able to take it all in.

I think a big part of why the Ayers and Wright stuff gets so much coverage is that it feeds into too many people's bullshit fears that Obama is a 'scary black man'.

As sad as it is, I think all the media can do with Palin is show how grossly incompetent she is. For some reason that doesn't care people as much as it should.

Palin fired the whole state Agriculture and Conservation board in July 2007, ostensibly to save a mismanaged state-owned dairy, and replaced it with her usual gang of cronies.

As a result, the dairy lost more money than it had in twenty years.

The dairy, an Alaska icon, closed anyway in two months, taking hundreds of thousands of dollars of additional state money with it.

Millions of dollars in dairy equipment ended up, at a steep discount, in the hands of a local Palin ally, who now runs a remarkably similar operation with the help of a Ted Stevens earmark.

Thar u go

WTF was McCain thinking in taking in an Alaskan politician when he is so against earmarks? srsly.

I don't see a point, I see an opinion. It remains to be seen if you have a logical basis behind your view.

Example: Are the people that regularly vote against Puerto Rico becoming a state "traitors?"

It's obvious she's a strong mother and a FANTASTIC wife. She was there to support her husband even though doing so went against her very CORE VALUES. Come on Hillary voters look at that strength!

Puerto Ricans are voting to keep the status quo in their land. The AIP is moving to remove Alaska as a US state all together. I see a huge difference there.

The republicans are making youtube take down the videos.

Voting against becoming a state that does not currently exist and seceding are not only different, they're almost unrelated in concept and premise.

That said, I don't think this story is going anywhere. She wasn't active in the party anyway and what her husband did years ago is fairly irrelevant to me. There's plenty of real reasons to mock this problematic, slight candidate. The candidate you keep defending.

Do you think she's qualified to be the leader of the free world or not?

Please, you think the networks don't have them already?

Also, from the Nation:

One of the most bizarre spectacles in modern politics is watching the Republican Party attempt to reverse engineer the Chris Matthews/Hillary Clinton-in-New-Hampshire-moment as a means of stoking some kind of feminist backlash in favor of their extreme-right-wing, Eagle-Forum friendly, pro-life, creationist candidate. The same one who called Hillary Clinton a whiner when she pointed out the sexism of the coverage she faced.

Talking about the press conference McCain's camp is giving today saying all this criticism is sexist.

AIP members believe the status quo itself to be due to an improper vote.

Personally, I think their views are illogical, because the vote was something close to 6-to-1. Even if you account for U.S. military simply being stationed there voting, that might not make much of a difference. Even more options on the ballot, the same list of options Puerto Rico regularly gets, probably wouldn't have made a difference.

I don't see what they are saying (the vote wasn't handled properly, we want a re-vote) as traitorous... but it's certainly not putting 'Country First'.

It's funny seeing Republicans talk about sexism when they normally deny such a thing even exists. It is what it is. Their playbook was always going to be very obvious. Wait till they get a black candidate and discover racism and prejudice still exist.
