Meet Sarah Palin’s radical right-wing pals — Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin’s political career in Alaska, and in return had influence over policy. ‘Her door was open,’ says Chryson — and still is.

Meet Sarah Palin’s radical right-wing pals
Interview with former Alaskan Independence Party chairman Mark Chryson
Oct. 10, 2008 PALMER, Alaska — | On the afternoon of Sept. 24 in downtown Palmer, Alaska, as the sun began to sink behind the snowcapped mountains that flank the picturesque Mat-Su Valley, 51-year-old Mark Chryson sat for an hour on a park bench, reveling in tales of his days as chairman of the Alaska Independence Party. The stocky, gray-haired computer technician waxed nostalgic about quixotic battles to eliminate taxes, support the ‘traditional family‘ and secede from the United States.
So long as Alaska remained under the boot of the federal government, said Chryson, the AIP had to stand on guard to stymie a New World Order. He invited a Salon reporter to see a few items inside his pickup truck that were intended for his personal protection. ‘This here is my attack dog,’ he said with a chuckle, handing the reporter an exuberant 8-pound papillon from his passenger seat. ‘Her name is Suzy.‘ Then he pulled a 9-millimeter Makarov PM pistol — once the standard-issue sidearm for Soviet cops — out of his glove compartment. ‘I’ve got enough weaponry to raise a small army in my basement,’ he said, clutching the gun in his palm. ‘Then again, so do most Alaskans.’ But Chryson added a message of reassurance to residents of that faraway place some Alaskans call ‘the 48.’ ‘We want to go our separate ways,’ he said, ‘but we are not going to kill you.’ … [ Continued ]
The GOP goes back to its ugly roots — McCain is resurrecting the GOP’s oldest tactic: Smearing Obama as a scary black terrorist sympathizer. But he may meet the same fate as Barry Goldwater. — Gary Kamiya ..[ more ]
As Obama holds a steady lead in the polls, the slime-ball McCain campaign has switched gears — and become a decrepit and segregationist “swift-boating” morass of Racism.
Fear and Smear is the new economic policy of McCain and Palin.
At a time when most Americans are really anxious about their economic future, John McCain has unleashed the “racist syphilis” in him, which is being peddled from state to state by his wicked witch - the shallow fork-tongued interlectual midget, and now, the female-bigot from Alaska, Sarah Palin.
“Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,” Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. “This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America,” she said. “We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism.”
This despicable smear slyly suggests that Obama is a terrorist, scary, alien, un-American, a subversive, a traitor and a criminal….”like every other black man.”
McCain’s rallies have become HATE MEETINGS, with some braying for Obama’s life!
Last week’s VP debate, which only the “delusionally sick” believe Palin won, has emboldened Sarah the bigot.” She is now trotting around with the hardened resolve of a hardcore prostitute, squealing like a pig at feeding time.
Palin’s statement(s) seem to be the “whistle” the pack of Syphilitic Nincompoops at Fox News, led by the in-house Nazi Sean Hannity, have been waiting for.
They are trying their utmost best to portray Obama as some “Manchurian Candidate” who will sneak into the White House and then nuke every city in America. To them, Obama is from the “politically soiled and filthy culture of Chicago,” unfit to be an American — maybe he is a member of the Chicago mob, a recipe for a tragedy!
The sickest of them all at Fox news is Sean Hannity — who has repeatedly mis-characterized Obama’s “air-raiding villages” statement, among many other distortions and outright lies.
On his show, Hannity & Colmes (O’Hannity & Coward), Sean Hannity praised Gov. Sarah Palin for citing Sen. Barack Obama’s remark that more coalition forces are needed in Afghanistan “so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” Hannity did not note that Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently offered Afghans “sincere condolences and personal regrets for the recent loss of innocent life as a result of coalition airstrikes” and that news outlets have repeatedly reported that U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan have resulted in civilian casualties….

On his radio show(s), Rush Limbaugh (the other big right-wing scum-bag on radio) has made numerous false statements about Obama’s health-care plan, his employment history, his legislative record, his work on behalf of veterans, and whether he puts his hand over his heart during the national anthem….

McCain is using the same tactics Bush used on him in the 2000 Republican Primaries, when Bush waged a nasty smear campaign against him.
In 2008 McCain has become McBush:
“What Bush did to McCain in the 2000 S. C. primary”
Bush Supporters Called McCain “The Fag Candidate.” — In South Carolina, Bush supporters circulated church fliers that labeled McCain “the fag candidate.” Columnist Frank Rich noted that the fliers were distributed “even as Bush subtly reinforced that message by indicating he wouldn’t hire openly gay people for his administration.”
Bush Supporters Questioned McCain’s Sanity — Some of George W. Bush’s supporters questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s fitness for the White House, suggesting that his five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam drove him insane at the time.
McCain Was Accused of Fathering Illegitimate Children and A Drug-Addict Wife — Among the rumors circulated against McCain in 2000 in South Carolina was that his adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually black, that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict.” Carl Rove (who is now working for McCain), Bush’s strategist took it further — claiming that McCain had committed treason while a prisoner of war, and had fathered a child with a black prostitute.”
The Bush Campaign Used Code Words to Question McCain’s Temper — Using the code word “temper,” a group of Senate Republicans, and at least some outriders of the George W. Bush campaign, spread the word that John McCain is unstable. The subtext, also suggested in this whispering campaign, was that he returned from 5 1/2 years as a POW in North Vietnam with a loose screw, and that he shouldn’t be entrusted with nuclear weapons.”
5. McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five - Savings and Loans scandal, which almost derailed his career. The Keating scandal is eerily similar to the financial crisis of today.

….and a lot more.
Obama being the “nice man” that he is, might not be willing to stab McCain right through the heart, but I strongly feel that he should at least kick him hard in the groin by bringing up the issue of Carol McCain — McCain’s first wife, who he dumped immediately after he came back from Vietnam, for Cindy and her “Beer Inheritance,” and because he couldn’t stand her disfigured body — after a terrible car crash in 1969.
John McCain is a sleazy, racist opportunist.

1.Will Palin’s Obama-Terrorist Speech Backfire? — John McCain occasionally looks back on decisions with regret. He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol. When the 2008 campaign is over McCain might regret appeals such as Palin’s perhaps more so if he wins.
5.Ugly Time — There seems to be no bottom for the McCain campaign. The candidate himself joined his running mate in the gutter Monday, with a stream-of-consciousness rant against Obama in New Mexico
