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.

And my senator Chris Dudd is laughing like the jackass he is. I’ll laugh when he’s in handcuffs. He never did or will get my vote.
I fear we may be soon trying that proposition again.
Press is a moron
This is a settled issue, though.
He has been an idiot for years. He is steeped in liberal idiocy..
OMG!
What slimes these Nellies are! No concern about Obama hanging with REAL KNOWN terrorists!

The sad thing is that Press will never have to answer for this slander. Todd Palin should sue him for slander in an Alaskan court.
I suspect that if Obama is fraudulently elected, you are going to be talking about it a lot more.
Laura Bush was a terrorist too.
Well, Bill Press molests little boys.
Have they conveniently forgot that Todd Palin is eskimo?
By their logic, every Native American tribe that goes by their own laws and land are secessionists and that does not make them bad people.
Hawaii wants to be secessionists and reinstate their King.
Somehow they are just “cultural”, but Todd Palin is a terrorist.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. I have come to agree with that over the last 6 months.
Bill Press is a total whatchamacallit.
Long ago, when he was with KFI radio, I slipped by his screener and laid it on him over “family values.” He tried to lay it back on me by asking me what my family values were, and I quickly answered (before he pulled my plug): “Duty, Honor, Country.”
Bill Press has “issues”
is that jerk still around? Thought he went out with the moth balls. guess he needs attention ...
Hell of a difference you imbecile. For example, the Bloc Quebecois in Canada is a separatist Party which works within the confines of Parliament to separate Quebec from Canada. Same with Parti Quebecois provincially. Only an imbecile like Press could call these parties terrorists. Press I have this to say to you - Unwrap your panties from your head and shut up.
Oh Bill, you’re just jealous because Todd is a hottie, and you’re not.
If Obama were cruising for a landslide, all they'd be doing is smugness and taunts.
Instead their heads are vibrating like a U-235 nucleus which just swallowed a passing neutron. Fission is imminent.
Relax, put on some shielding, and watch the meltdown!
Cheers!
Hickel was a former Republican Governor and U.S. Secretary of the Interior who ran on the AIP ticket and won. He rejected the Independence platform. Palin didn't "join" the party, he selected it as his party preference when he registered to vote, and the odds are he did it to indicate his support for Hickel, rather than for independence. More here.
If anybody posts a story like this again, do a little research so your post actually educates people and refutes the smear, rather than just angers them and gives them an opportunity to call Press a "p*ssy" and to vent in other ways.
PS, it's also been said that Joe Biden voted for legislation that might lead to Hawaiian independence.
LLS
Bill Press is a bona fide idiot.
