"Palling around" becomes official policy
"Clearly the White House has no problem being associated with Bill Ayers." That is absolutely true, and the proof is here. Ayers delivered a major speech before The Renaissance Group's 20th Anniversary Celebration in Arlington, Virginia. Speaking at the event ("A Time for Reflection, Celebration and Rebirth") along with Ayers were Under Secretary of Education Dr. Martha Kanter (who spoke before Ayers) and her boss Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education (who spoke after Ayers). Via Tom Maguire, who said, People Say "Palling Around With Terrorists" Like It's A Bad ThingAs Glenn Reynolds put it, "the parting on the right is now a parting on the left." Anyway, while Barack Obama was not there palling around with Ayers in person, the Ayers gala was clearly priority number one for the Department of Education. I'd say that the Department of Education has disgraced itself, except it would be absurd to imagine that both the Secretary and the Under Secretary acted without approval from above. It's the Barack Obama Administration -- literally palling around with a terrorist. There's nothing I can say about Ayers -- or Barack Obama's association with him -- that I haven't said before. What can I do other than say "I told you so"? (It's just not terribly satisfying to have been right about unpleasant things.) By the way, Ayers is also reported as admitting he wrote "Dreams of My Father". If that's true, then by avoiding Ayers, Barack Obama is behaving as an ingrate. I guess there's nothing new about that either. posted by Eric on 10.21.09 at 07:31 PM

Bilwick, Palin's husband was at one time a member of a secessionist party. The Alaska Independence Party. M. Simon · October 22, 2009 02:07 PM Except, the AIP is not a secessionist party. Other than that, though, everything in your claim is correct. Z · October 22, 2009 08:32 PM Even if the AIP were a seccessionist party, it doesn't seem even remotely equivalent to the Weathermen.

Remember last year at this time when Palin was being criticized for kind-of looking into, but not actually joining, some Alaska seccessionist party? (Which I guess was bad because it was too pro-fredom.) Yet I'll bet the same "Palin is a seccessionist nut" crowd doesn't have a word to say about "Il Dufe" being pals with a commie terrorist.
