Obama has a way of sidling up and stick the knife in without making a lot of noise. Maybe he's got a plan to stick them with this too.
I feel certain, certain i say, that Sean will call out the Alaska Independence Party and the guy who called Old Glory that "damn flag" as being anti-American to the nth degree! Isn't that right, Sean?
"I just wanted to let you know … Sarah Palin who McCain just picked as the next vice president is one of the most honest people I have known. I have known her for over 15 years, been in her house and have had numerous conversations with her, in person, on the phone both for personal issues as well as political issues."
I don't know how to do a link, so maybe someone could do that.
Seems like a 15 year personal and political relationship with the former chair of a party advocating the secession of Alaska from the United States is more relevant than Obama's relationship with Ayers.

I no longer doubt that the reason the Christian right and all the dirty Republican politicians and thugs they have been supporting these past 8 years will do ANYTHING to STEAL this election just like 2000 and 2004 is to ....
TRY and HIDE all their TREASONOUS ACTS and STAY OUT OF PRISON!.
his 'maverick' votes were all because someone in his party pissed him off... so he voted against them to spite them.
A. One year after the founder of the AIP worked with Iran, an enemy of the U.S. and Israel, to publicly embarrass the U.S. at the United Nations, Sarah Palin attended the AIP convention.
B. The following year, at a time when the AIP founder was advocating secession from the United States, Palin's husband joined the AIP. He remained a member until recently, so Sarah Palin was arguably "sleeping with the enemy" while she was a public official. (Btw, does anyone know if the mayor of Wasilla has to swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution?)
C. Then earlier this year, as governor of Alaska, she again praised the AIP, which is pledged to break the Union?
D. Sarah Palin and her husband have been for 15 years affiliated with and praised an organization that has actively consorted with an enemy of the United States. It continues to be committed to secession from the U.S.
Where's the story here?
Can we please stop using this phrase? The Farsi language has no phrase like this. The quote in question referred to the Israeli government (not the people) being erased from the pages of time. It was meant as an attack on the government, not as a threat to the people who live there. The Iranian government is far from perfect. There is no reason to exaggerate their negatives. Bad enough should be bad enough. Obviously, conservatives want to inflate them into the Biggest Threat Ever. But why should we go along? And why should you, Joe?
§ 5. Oath of Office
All public officers, before entering upon the duties of their offices, shall take and subscribe to the following oath or affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Alaska, and that I will faithfully discharge my duties as . . . to the best of my ability." The legislature may prescribe further oaths or affirmations.
From the AIP web site:
"Although it is widely thought to be a secessionist movement, the Party makes great effort to emphasize that its primary goal is merely a vote on secession."
The AIP denies the legitimacy of the 1958 vote by Alaskans to become a state. They make a show on their web site of supporting the U.S. Constitution, but there is no provision in the Constitution for states to secede. Essentially they and their supporters are anti-constitutional.
Does Governor Palin care to comment or explain how her support for the AIP is not a violation of her oath of office?
Anyone watching David Gregory defending McCain. David and Pat Buchanan are literally tearing Obama to shreds. Jesus Chirst, just who put Gregory on national TV. I can even take Chris Matthews over the highly biased David Gregory.
Who's with me? There got to be some way to get this to Keith O. Ed Shultz, Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Rachael M. S OMEBODY WITH ACCESS TO THE AIRWAVES. Is it too much to hope the MSM picks this up?
I hate to be cynical, but if the only attention it's getting is on TPM and Salon, it will get absolutely no attention on the TV. And if it doesn't happen on the TV, it doesn't happen to the majority of folks in this country.
With that being said, please, please, please, please let me be wrong :-)

I'd prefer to counter the Republican filth on the merits of progressive arguments, though, instead of using the ultimately false Republican talking point of Iran wanting to wipe Israel off the map. This GOP line of attack is misleading at best, as Ahmadinejad didn't say he wants to destroy Israel but instead wished the geopolitical entity there was not a Jewish state but an inclusive one. That is what the reference to the map is. FYI.
Sorry for the parsing, but I feel there's enough hysterical incitement to attack a relatively passive Iran as it is, without adding to that incitement.
