How I hate that picture. Especially since my senator, Jug Head, is in it.

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.

I guess that would make George Washington a terrorist.
I think Todd Palin may be a terror to fish, but not much else.
And, in return, does Todd Palin call Bill Press a flaming idiot or just senile?
Isn't a depositor who fills out a withdrawal slip the same as a bankrobber who shoots a security guard in the head at point-blank range?
How I hate that picture. Especially since my senator, Jug Head, is in it.
Aztlan and other Deomcrat party activists then should be called terrorists.
For the thousanth(?) time, A LOT of Alaskans (including former governors, one of whom worked for Nixon) are members of AIP and aren’t secessionists. It’s a Libertarian/Conservative Party today.
Bill Press never had a taste of sanity in his entire life, but now he's certifiable rubber room material. Can't wait to see him being taken away in a straightjacket on Nov. 5.
When Bill Press calls you a “terrorist”, you must be doing something “damaging” to the LEFT.
Perhaps Todd Palin should be in studio with Bill Press to discuss this matter man to sniveling liberal.
OK, I don’t often say this on here because it’s rather crass....but....
Bill Press is a pussy.
What do Buraq Hussein Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common? Don’t know, OK, here is the answer — They both have friends who bombed the pentagon.
Must really irk them. Putting it everywhere I visit, you should to ... My guess is no one will know the Todd connection, but the Osama-Obama comparison, people will easily understand ... Carry on.
If Obama, The democrats and the media were as intent on destroying terrorists as they are in destroying Sarah the war war on terror could nearly be won.
Todd was never politically active....what AIP event was he ever at? He loves Alaska and he wanted to register “independent. Big deal.
I went to the AIP website and read the platform. The very first principle enumerated is that the AIP advocates adhering to the US and State of Alaska Constitutions. There’s nothing in the platform advocating violence.

Has Todd Palin ever participated in terrorizing anyone? Killing anyone....Planning/exhorting people to kill others? Ayers IS a terrorist....like Timothy McVey.....only Ayers got away with it! (And, his wifey, Dohrn, too!)
