Alaskan Independence Party Enlisted Iran to Promote Anti-U.S. Agenda

The 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

David Talbot has a piece in Salon about Joe Vogler, the "raging anti-American" who founded the Alaska Independence Party -- the party that Todd Palin belonged to for seven years, and that Palin chose to address just a few months ago. The party that still considers Sarah Palin one of their own.

Talbot reveals that Vogler, in 1993, arranged with Iran to provide him with a global pulpit to spew his hatred of the United States:

"My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand."

Vogler's greatest moment of glory was to be his 1993 appearance before the United Nations to denounce United States "tyranny" before the entire world and to demand Alaska's freedom. The Alaska secessionist had persuaded the government of Iran to sponsor his anti-American harangue.

That's right ... Iran. The Islamic dictatorship. The taker of American hostages. The rogue nation that McCain and Palin have excoriated Obama for suggesting we diplomatically engage. That Iran.

AIP leaders allege that Vogler, who was murdered that year by a fellow secessionist, was taken out by powerful forces in the U.S. before he could reach his U.N. platform. "The United States government would have been deeply embarrassed," by Vogler's U.N. speech, darkly suggests Clark. "And we can't have that, can we?"

1. Clear double standard......

Teneous links for Obama, while these folks were all in the middle of the AIP!

American Injustice lives via our Corporate Facist media.
