Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member
By The New York Times
The chairwoman of an Alaskan political party that advocates a vote on the state’s secession from the union said Tuesday that she had been mistaken when she said Gov. Sarah Palin was a member of the group.
A front-page story in The New York Times on Tuesday and articles in other news media reported that Ms. Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party for two years in the 1990’s.
The information in the Times article was based on a statement issued Monday night by Lynette Clark, the party’s chairwoman, who said that Ms. Palin joined the party in 1994 and in 1996 changed her registration to Republican.
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.
Ms. Clark said that Ms. Palin’s husband, Todd, was a former member of the party.

LMAO... who gives a shit if she was there????? It was a convention in her HOME TOWN.
Do you think everyone that attended the DNC in Denver was a Democrat or a supporter of Dems?
I saw code pink women at the RNC... they MUST support the Reps then.

The parties chairwoman and the party leader thought she was a member.
She attended meetings and her husband was a long time member.
She has used her husband as an advisor in such a mannerthat she is denying public access to emails on this basis.
If Mrs. Obama was a member of the black panthers and Mr. Obama attended meetings and high ranking members thought he was a member would it be an issue?

So she went a few times, so what? What you are basically arguing is that politicians should ignore all groups that are not part of the mainstream (i.e. approved by the corporate media). It's no different than HUAC attacking somebody as a communist because they attended one meeting or had some connection to a party member.
There is nothing of merit or substance in this AIP angle. You will drown out substantive criticism of Palin with this nonsense.

You obviously didn't even read the article I gave you.

Look at that Desh the chairwoman you are quoting said she was wrong. Funny you can't do the same.
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.

Hmm guys in suits driving black SUV's showed up huh ?
Yes, it is silly in that same way but moreso. Desh's argument is a bit worse. Obama was clearly a member of that church and did more than show up at a couple functions for campaign related purposes. That does imply at least some general agreement or toleration of the church.

yeah But it is not in disput that Todd Palin was a member is it ?
I guess not, so what? I mean the claim that this is a terrorist group is ridiculous as well.
It's great to see the Democrats using fear mongering tactics over "terrorism" to chill speech.

Wow, this just grows a life of its own. I'm with you above. I went to a church growing up for 10 years. I was a member of that church.
I went to several Democratic hosted functions in San Francisco to see Democrats speak. I am not a Democrat nor does that make me a Democrat because I attended those functions.

RStringfield, he's an idiot. This discussion has absolutely nothing to do with her husband. It's about Sarah Palin and Desh's claim that Sarah Palin is a member of AIP which it has been shown she is not yet Desh refuses to admit it.
