V-P Pick Palin Belonged to Political Party Supporting Secession of Alaska from the United States

Putting aside the fact that patriotism is immoral, one might think that a candidate for Vice-President of the United States who favored secession of her home state might be fairly questioned about her loyalty to her country.  You may learn more about the "Alaska Independence Party" here; its founder, as the site proudly informs us, deemed members of the lunatic right John Birch Society "too liberal."  As I noted before, "ignorant yahoo" may just scratch the surface of how dangerously foolish this woman is.

UPDATE:  The McCain camp is busy downplaying Governor Palin's involvement with the AIP, noting her longstanding registration as a Republican voter...a Republican voter, though, who seems awfully fond of the AIP.
