CNN on Palin's Association with the Secessionist Party

Finally, the mainstream media is starting to investigate Palin's shady associations with members of the Alaska Independence Party.

What most concerns me about this party is their embrace of white supremacist and pro-Confederate groups. If Palin were to become president, what assurance do I have that these extremists won't have access to the White House and public policy?

Why is it that whenever you scratch the surface of a far-right conservative, there's a white supremacist lurking somewhere nearby?

And truly, most of us are probably one association away from some scoundrel or other. Heck, we might even be related to them. But the fact of the matter is, Palin's associations I find far more threatening than Obama's.

Obama has Ayers, who it turns out is also a college professor at a well-regarded university and has been embraced and vetted by the Annenberg Foundation. He also has the Rev. Wright, who preached some incendiary sermons from his church. But to me, there's no comparison between those characters and folks who are armed, possibly racist, and want to secede from the union.

I call double-standard and cowardice by the mainstream media. If Michelle Obama were a member of party with black separatist ties, they would have jumped all over it.
