Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party

Both Sarah Palin and her husband have been visibly active in events organized by Alaska Independence Party, a Party, which openly advocates overthrowing the US Government and creating an independent nation of Alaska.  While I do understand Alaska's desire to secede, I do not understand Sarah Palin's faulting Barack Obama for sitting on the Board of a Conservative Foundation alongside a now respected university professor, who, at a time when Obama was eight years old, belonged to a radical political party.  Yet, Ms. Palin participated in the Convention of Alaska Independence Party as late as four years ago, fully cognizant of what that Party is all about.  She was there to support the Party and not to repudiate it as you might expect from an elected political figure.  So, once again as for association with radicals, whose is more genuine?  You have got it,  Ms. Palin wins hands down.  Need I say more?
