    Palins’ Un-American Activities

    Imagine if the Obamas had hooked up with a violently anti-American group in league with the government of IRAN!. By David Talbot

    Oct. 7, 2008 | “My government is my worst enemy. I’m going to fight them with any means at hand.” This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she tears into Barack Obama this week. ONLY ONE PROBLEM. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that’s the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. (”Keep up the good work,” Palin told AIP members. “And God bless you.”)

    McCain Camp cannot talk about the economy because their Economics is for the Rich, the well-off and the well connected!

  2. Pandyora Says:

    Was anyone else a little bit taken aback by the fact that as Jay-Z is describing in vivid terms what it is like to be on the ground in Angola, the “reporter” from MTV was busy playing with her hair?

  3. Al Says:

    Why do you allude to an NWA song in the title? NWA ain’t Jay-Z. Do you think all black rappers are the same?

  4. Al Says:

    BTW, given everything we know about the UN’s recent history, the appropriate song to reference in the post title would have been Money, Cash, Hoes.

  5. Akhbar Says:

    The timing of this post is suspect, coming as it does on the heels of allegations tying Yglesias to the Wu-Tang Clan:
