The mainstream media has resorted to attacking GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's husband Todd Palin. At the bottom of the hour of Bill Press's radio show at 6am this morning, Press said the following:
PRESS: What's the difference between a secessionist and a terrorist? Isn't a secessionist just another form of a terrorist? Ask Abraham Lincoln...Let's find out what the "First Dude" was going to do in order to secede from the union. I tell you it wasn't going to be peaceful.
Has Bill Press lost it? The first glaring difference is Todd Palin never blew up innocent people or landmarks all over the country. Comparing Todd Palin to Bill Ayers is just plain nonsense and disingenuous.
The first line of attack on this issue was that Governor Palin was a secessionist. When that was debunked, the left went after her husband. More importantly, he was never shown to "terrorize" others like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn did.
Todd Palin registered with the Alaskan Independence Party in 1995 but later registered as undeclared in 2000 and later again in 2002. How active was he, though? Many states have 'Independence' parties, and they get their numbers from people who believe they are registering in no party at all.
Palin has no real active history with the party and later registered as "undeclared," so he may have thought he was truly declaring himself an independent voter...the individual the media loves these days.
Keep in mind the Republican party in Alaska was very corrupt at the time he did this. It took his wife's reforms to cleanup the GOP in Alaska later on, in fact.
Liberal blogs have been lit up comparing Ayers to the governor's husband this past week. As usual, the media picked up the talking points of these blogs.
The typical line of the press these days has been that the McCain campaign is getting desperate, so they are attacking Obama over his relations with Ayers. If anything, this line of attack from Press looks like the media is becoming even further desperate.

The real question here is “What if Rush or Sean called Jill Biden a terrorist?” Would they be able to stay on the air? Would the msm ignore it?
Bill Clinton pardoned terrorists who actually killed people. Bill Press has no problem with that.......
Well, we’re all terrorists down here in Texas I guess because we’ve all talked secession at one time or another!
Did the Alaskan Independence Party pinch $50 million from Annenberg for Todd to pass out among right wing groups and call it “school reform”??????????????????????????????????????
What an idiotic comparison.
Gee, I could register here in glorious NYS as an Independent!
If I did, could I claim infamy?

Press evidently has no problem with Ayers bombing the Pentagon either. In fact, it’s a safe bet he cheered the effort at the time.
Hell no!!! i. it's the truth, and 2. Todd's not a dumocrap, so he has no say in the matter.
I don’t know Press, let’s set up a tape recording of a bomb going off in your house and then detonate a real one in your house. Maybe even your little pea-brain can determine there’s a difference.
Bill Press is a metrosexual p*ssy.
I’m pretty sure Arizona has a law on the books that essentially states that we will secede if the feds ever take away the 2nd amendment.
Is Bill Press still alive?
I guess residents in Key West are living in a terrorist nation....I don’t believe they ever re-entered the union.

Actually I should have said that if Marshal Law is declared Arizona will secede.
The Ayers thing must be leaving a mark -
they’re trying to morally equate Todd Palin with Ayers.
What a pathetic joke.
That really is a positive sign, isn’t it... in a sideways way?
LOL who cares what this libiot says.
Has Todd Palin ever advocated committing violent crimes in support of a political goal?
I didn't think so.
Ah, but he's a snowmobile racer -- his environmental crimes abound. He's a terrorist!
