Cam, I think that's a legitimate stance. That being said, what about the Alaska Independent Party stuff? Unlike Ayers, Sarah Palin is married to someone who was a member of that party for 8 years, and she addressed their convention (this year I believe, but I may be off on that one). By your standard, isn't that an insight into her character? Heck, what about every goddamn Southern group that keeps bitching about the Confederacy ? Isn't putting up their flag a sign of being a "traitor" as much as anything else?
I don't necessarily disagree with your stance, but there has to be some consistency.
