Bill Press Calls Todd Palin A Terrorist

The mainstream media has resorted to attacking GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's husband Todd Palin. At the bottom of the hour of Bill Press's radio show at 6am this morning, Press said the following:

PRESS: What's the difference between a secessionist and a terrorist? Isn't a secessionist just another form of a terrorist? Ask Abraham Lincoln...Let's find out what the "First Dude" was going to do in order to secede from the union. I tell you it wasn't going to be peaceful.

Has Bill Press lost it? The first glaring difference is Todd Palin never blew up innocent people or landmarks all over the country. Comparing Todd Palin to Bill Ayers is just plain nonsense and disingenuous.

He now has a radio show.

2. Hypocrites
It's okay to call Obama a terrorist, but it's a no no to call a secessionist one.

5. Traitor would be a better word than terrorist

A secessionist is essentially a traitor.

6. Idiots...
If they had proof that Ayers was directly involved in blowing up anything - he'd have done time. I quite like Press' take on the governor's arm candy - Terrorist Todd Palin...

9. isn't the difference
Bill Ayers thought he was helping the USA by trying to end the Vietnam war, while Todd Palin wanted to hurt the USA by destroying the union. You can Condemn Ayers actions, but understand he does love this country. Can you say the same thing about Todd Palin?

12. Some people find a problem inside their nation and attempt to fix it
or rebel against it. Others chose to run away.

13. The article said he probably registered for the Indenpendence Party because he was confused
Oh boy.

"Todd Palin registered with the Alaskan Independence Party in 1995 but later registered as undeclared in 2000 and later again in 2002. How active was he, though? Many states have 'Independence' parties, and they get their numbers from people who believe they are registering in no party at all.

Palin has no real active history with the party and later registered as "undeclared," so he may have thought he was truly declaring himself an independent voter...the individual the media loves these days.

Keep in mind the Republican party in Alaska was very corrupt at the time he did this. It took his wife's reforms to cleanup the GOP in Alaska later on, in fact."
