excerpt from wikipedia (and I know the probs with wikipedia- but I heard this on the radio here at the time).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Vogler

"Vogler also ran for governor in 1982 and 1986. Several incidents during these campaigns raised his profile as a "colorful character." In the 1982 race, Vogler was taken to task for comments made during a debate. The issue of moving Alaska's capital appeared during the election, as it has on and off since 1960. The media and political pundits took great fun over Vogler's debate remarks that Alaska should :"nuke the glaciers"[/b] along the coast of the Gulf of Alaska and build a freeway to Juneau. Vogler would later contend that what he said was misinterpreted." (when he said Nuke the Glaciers I DO believe he meant it, he was quite serious)

Here is the link to AIP's web site:

DO NOT LET THIS LADY IN OFFICE! Send her back to us, preferably with some tar and feathers still attached. We will see what we can do about getting her impeached or recalled

Don't know if this has been mentioned on the board yet, but David Neiwert of Orcinus fame and Max Blumenthal (the guy who broke the original Bishop Muthee/Sarah Palin annointing video) teamed up to write more on her ties to these assholes.

Meet Sarah Palin’s radical right-wing pals

Neiwert says on his own website:

QUOTE
Essentially here’s what we found:


* That Gov. Palin, when a Wasilla city council member, formed an alliance with some of the more radical far-right citizens in Wasilla and vicinity, particularly members of the secessionist Alaskan Independence Party who were allied with local John Birch Society activists. These activists played an important role in her election as Wasilla mayor in 1996.

* Once mayor, one of Mrs. Palin’s first acts was to attempt to appoint one of these extremists (a man named Steve Stoll) to her own seat on the city council. This was a man with a history of disrupting city council meetings with intimidating behavior. She was blocked by a single city council member.

* Afterward, Mrs. Palin fired the city’s museum director at the behest of this faction.

* She fomented an ultimately successful effort to derail a piece of local gun-control legislation which would simply have prohibited the open carry of firearms into schools, liquor stores, libraries, courthouses and the like. The people recruited to shout this ordinance down included these same figures, notably the local AIP representative (who became the AIP’s chairman that same year).

* She remained associated politically with the local AIP/Birch faction throughout her tenure as mayor on other issues, particularly a successful effort to amend the Alaska Constitution to prohibit local governments from issuing any local gun-control ordinances.


In general, we found that not only did Mrs. Palin have numerous associations with these extremists, she actively sought to empower them locally and to enact their agendas both locally and on a state level.

Joe Vogler is a domestic terrorist! Didn't I hear Randi say in the first hour that he died when trying to sell some faulty plastic explosives?

It's clear who stuck her on the ticket: the paleocons. CNP, John Birch, AIP, Buchanan -- she's tied in to the paleocon wing.

She was the paleocon balance to his neocon.

Too bad as usual they didn't care whether she was qualified, or ready.

My schoolmate tried to burn down our school, so I am a terrorist. BTW, I was 9. The RW is out of arguments, Hannity has balls the size of Chiclets, and he's so tough, except he never served one fucking day in uniform, not that it matters, but it does when you use it as a way show that someone is unpatriotic.

I don't think that has been proven, just suspected.

He was trying to buy them, not sell them.
