Palin’s Link to Radical Alaskan Independence
Group Raises Question of Patriotism
Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin repeatedly has attempted to brand Sen. Barack Obama as a terrorist sympathizer due to his casual professional acquaintance with William Ayers, a present-day college professor who in the turbulent 1960s had been a militant anti-war activist. Annenberg Political Fact Check found the McCain campaign’s assertions “groundless, false, dubious…seriously misleading.” Palin has downplayed her own highly questionable and more recent associations, at least one of which — unlike the Obama-Ayers link — raises legitimate concerns about where her true allegiance lies.
