MM, I gather you are not willing to look at the Palin issues in the same light you look at Obama. She has a long history with the AIP; her husband has been a member. She spoke at their convention, perhaps twice. The imputation folk will take from that is that she shares their views. You are trying to make the same claim about Obama, that he shares all of Wright's views because he sat in a pew. We know that in both instances a case linking them has to be made. In Obama's case, as much time as has passed, no one has made that case. Just tried to do as you are doing, guilt by association. Let's take this one more step. The AIP, as I understand it, wishes for Alaska to secede from the US. And Palin has this long history with them including the speeches. Black liberation theology has as its goal more inclusion. And Obama has neither spoken at any gathering of such nor can be nailed with sharing some of the more extreme views stated in its name. If we keep going on this, I'm going to convince myself Palin's problems with the AIP are more severe than I felt when we started this conversation. ;-)
