A heartbeat away...

OK, the dredging up the very recent past.

Cheers.

I would go so far as to take this down. the reaason is why give someone a distraction.

I'm sure they'll find a way to spin it but it will be entertaining to hear that spin.

It would be good if someone here could post a correction. There are plenty of grounds for criticizing Palin's record and positions. Careless research ought not to interfere with that effort.

See: Kate Zernike, "A Palin Joined Alaskan Third Party, Just Not Sarah Palin." The New York Times on the Web, September 3, 2008. (Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09...

They have the screen shots, as the evidence is all being disappeared now to cover their tracks.

Statement of Ethan Winner

The following is in response to questions I have received regarding the post on the Jawa Report website.

I produced and posted on the Internet the video entitled "Sarah Palin: A Heartbeat Away."

The idea for the video was mine. No one paid me to produce it. The only out-of-pocket cost will be the fee for the voice-over narrator, which I will pay personally when I receive an invoice. Contrary to the allegation in the Jawa Report, the voice-over artist has never done any work for the Obama campaign. I retained her through a talent agency based solely on the quality of her voice.

Neither the Obama campaign nor any independent political action committee has had a connection with the making and/or posting of this video. Just like the thousands of Americans who have posted videos on the Internet regarding the current Presidential campaign, I produced this video as an expression of my right to free speech, which is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

I believe the American people have a right and a need to know information about candidates for political office and their views. I made this video because I think it is important for the public to be aware of the association between Sarah and Todd Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party. The New York Times has reported that the Alaskan Independence Party website describes the party as seeking, in the words of the party, "a range of solutions to the conflicts between federal and local authority," including "advocacy for state's rights, through a return to territorial status, all the way to complete independence and nationhood status for Alaska."

While a number of media outlets have said that reports that Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party may have been erroneous, her attendance at the party's 1994 convention, her video speech to the 2008 convention and her husband's membership in the Alaskan Independence Party have not been called into question.

Some people have asked why I have pulled the video from the Internet. The reason is simple. Following the posting of personal information about me by the Jawa Report, my family began to receive threatening and abusive phone calls and emails.

They specialise in Astroturf campaigns to deal with (as described in their advertising) a "controversial issue such as a lawsuit, a government investigation, a political protest, a labor dispute, or a defective product or recall"

Pam, you've been had I'm afraid.

There is no situation so complex it can't get even worse
