Barack Obama is not using reverse racism in his presidential campaign. I can't believe that we are regressing as a nation by throwing the race cards around. If any campaign is evoking racism its the McCain campaign. Sarah Palin is throwing bones to all the ignorant, un educated radicals that are jumping to put out a message of hate. America is all about diversity and believing in a vision that no matter what your background,race,religion or gender you can be and do whatever you want as long as you work hard.

The GOP has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Barack Obama, linking him to almost every famous black political radical, domestic terrorists and have even called him a Muslim. They are in a sense trying to evoke panic by questioning Barack's character and pointing out how he is not like us. Through all of the hate, he has refused to pounce on the fact that John McCain's running mate is sleeping beside a guy that palls around with terrorists.

So Todd Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party from 1995 to 2002. You could definitely say Todd "palled around" with his fellow party members. And I guess you could say that when Sarah was going to
AIP conventions, she was "palling around" with AIP members, too. Which means that Todd and Sarah Palin are pals with terrorists. And Todd is really a terrorist himself.

Here's some stuff that AIP founder Joe Vogler said in 1991, a few years before Sarah palled around at his convention:

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government."

"And I won't be buried under their damn flag. I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."

"I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."

We should also remember that Barack Obama is half white and was raised by his white grandparents in a modest home. I have confidence that Barack Obama will stay true to his values, and keep his word to all of his supporters. Its sad that race has been an issue in this election, because we have an opportunity to rebuild our country and make the world like us again. We have a chance to become the leader in the clean energy innovation, do goodwill at home and abroad, and use diplomacy instead of force to deal with our enemies. Some may say that Obama is a dreamer, but all great things begin with a dream.
