Sarah Palin and Her Juneau Neighbors Support Obama!

The Governor's Mansion in Juneau, Alaska

The Governor's Mansion in Juneau, Alaska

An anonymous Mudflatter in Juneau was taking an evening walk past the Governor’s mansion, found the following political sign in the yard, and sent it to Mudflats for all to enjoy!

Presumably, the Governor herself is not an Obama supporter….however, it looks like quite a few of her neighbors are. The following images were passed on by a different Junea Mudflatter. I’ve circled the Obama signs, and pointed with a red arrow at the Governor’s mansion. Looks like Juneau is ready for change!

Saturday, all these Obama supporters in Alaska’s capitol will have an opportunity to make their voices heard! And in a “sensitive climate” where state workers are plentiful, participants are encouraged to wear their best Halloween disguises!

on truth:

“Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.”
Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

Off-Topic, and I apologize, but I’ve looked everywhere else and need help verifying or debunking a chain email.

A friend who is afraid of socialism(!) and who is, therefore, voting for McPain, sent me an email with the subject “Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of Socialist ‘New Party’ In 1996.” The entire content of the email is here:

http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com/2008/10/web-archives-confirm-barack-obama-was.html

I have web-searched, searched PolitiFact, FactCheck, etc., and can find nothing that addresses any of the claims in this email. Of course, it’s false, but I would like to get back to my friend with specific facts on why the various parts of this complex hoax can’t be true. Can anybody help?

10 10 2008
Witches!

Everyone should go to the McPalin rally dressed as witches! And speak in tongues! Go Juneau!

Ah, AKM, you’ve drawn trolls.

But, aside from that, I do not know what the correct halloween costume for an Operative is (a Brian suit with false moustache and glasses?), but I do know that I have come to love the Alsakans that go out in the chill and represent all of America.

Go, you Juneau Operative!

Hey, Baron, did you decide on a costume?

NMJ – the only articles I have found so far are smears on the far right wing hate sites. Doubt the validity, since most other articles on those sites are complete moosesh*t. Seems a new smear tactic, so “Fight the Smears” has not had time to put up the facts yet. “They” will throw lots of the moosesh*t against wall innext 28 days, hoping some will stick.

Which Halloween costume to choose from? It’s an embarrassment of riches!

But I think simple is best – just an empty bag with a lipstick smirk painted on

Too true. My friend is a Southern Baptist (we’re both in SoCal, now) and we’ve had many hours of great conversations – none on politics. You think you know someone, then something like this pops up and whoa, there! Where did THAT come from?? It’s been my experience that very religious people have given over their thinking to their church, and can no longer (or have forgotten how to) think for themselves. I guess I have hopes of bringing her to her senses if I can introduce some logic into her fantasy.

Yup- live in Juneau, work near the gov’s mansion (tanning bed and all) and snicker every time I drive by and see the signs. Clearly she has not endeared herself to her neighbors- guess she never had the chef whip up muffins for the nabe before she fired (oops, reallocated) her. Even Piper’s darling trampoline and pot bouy have not been enough to convince the folks here to vote for the Saracuda.

Dress up as a very mean-looking old lady with one of those very large plastic child’s lipsticks around your neck and a sign that says…” in 2008, I thought I could fool ’em all…wherer’s my lipstick?”

Thank you, but I can’t claim credit for the photo, except for publishing it. All the photos were submitted by anonymous Juneau Mudflatters. 🙂 AKM

As my mother use to say, “when the other party starts slinging mud, make mud pies. With the people all calling for level headed answers to the current economic situation, let the folks in the trenches take care of the mud slingers, so Obama can stand tall, call on the best financial minds on the planet and get on with leading us to a bright new future, the change we are all looking for in Jan. 09.

NMJ and Lori W., Don’t be fools. OF COURSE IT’S TRUE! Links to the actual archived websites, proudlyly trumpeting socialist New Party Obama’s victory in the IL senate, are included.

Do a Google. NOBODY has debunked it. It is TRUE.

Open your eyes. Your candidate is what he is — a phony, a liar, and a fraud. (His feigned ignorance of the North American Union AFTER he wrote an op-ed piece touting its “virtues,” was a dead giveaway.)

99% of politicians SUCK. The Dims are no better than the Repugs, and that is another FACT.

You are the bomb, AKM. I have some understanding of how much of your time this endeavor is taking up (I blog elsewhere on the Net, but only during basketball season) and have nothing but admiration for your willingness to do so. I’m not sure I could remain sane between now and election day without my mudflats community–and there are probably some opinions to dispute that assumption, already–but you are here and it makes a huge difference.
And not just in Alaska!
The role of the free press in a democracy is CRUCIAL. Never, never, never, never give up!

Thank you Mr. Bright and Shiny Future. After months of every msm source picking through the life of Sen. Obama, this little tidbit, which you proudly proclaim has not been debunked, should be the soul reason we supporters turn on him? I realize that this probably made you giddy with excitement, to finally have something that no one “debunked”, yet. I bet you’re beside yourself. Well, I’ve always considered myself a “party pooper”, so let me ruin your day. We aren’t buying. We don’t care. At this point in the game, we’ve made our decisions, we looked at all the facts on both sides, weighed our options and chosen the best possible candidate based on ALL the facts. And while we realize that Sen. Obama is not perfect, we also realize that the other option is just not good enough. Might I suggest to you that you take your proverbial confetti and balloons to a site that is more inclined to want to party with you as we are in the middle of preparing to celebrate our victory of a Democratic President. Oh… and have a nice day.

DR (05:36:27) :

Ladies and Gentlemen:

PLEASE!! Yes, yesterday’s news was worth celebrating but, IT’S ONLY THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS. Let me repeat… IT’s ONLY THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS.

We all know that at least short term, the legislature isn’t going to take any action.

In an effort to keep this issue in the forefront and to get to where many of us want to end up, ACTION needs to start immediately. First, there has to be a legal mind from Alaska that is part of the movement. Someone has to learn what ALL the options are that can be taken NOW!! Partitions (centure, resignation, impeachment), rallys, maybe a “STOP SP fund needs to be established to cover costs of litigation, law suits, requests for hearings, etc., etc., etc. The heat needs to be turned up IMMEDIATELY with as much statewide and national exposure as possible.

Someone could create a “DRAFT WALT MONEGAN FOR GOVERNOR” web site. His slogan and his message would be, “A proven leader whose very name is synonymous with HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND THE TRUTH. A governor you can finally believe and a governor you can finally believe in”. If elected, his very first item on his “TO DO LIST” would be to review the backgrounds, experience and qualifications of ALL prior state apponitments and take the necessary steps to bring the very best people into state government. This DRAFT WALT MONEGAN movement would most certainly get everyone thinking, especially SP.

These are but a few of my ideas which, I’m sure, are shared by many Alaskans.

CRITICAL!!! This or any other plan moving forward needs to begin IMMEDIATELY.

Whenever any of us feel tired or that the battle isn’t worth the fight, I encourage everyone to click the link below.

OMG !!! I love my country. God bless it and, God bless all of you.

@Intrigued. Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, with your comments at 0:56:21. But if you read the link kindly provided by Desert Islander at 23:16:40, you will see that it totally IS debunked. “Left-wing critics of the New Party, such as supporters of the Green Party, argued that the New Party was merely a pressure group on the fringes of the Democratic Party, rather than a genuinely new political party.”

So, NJM and Intrigued et all, it wasn’t even a real party, much less a socialist party. It was part of the fringe of the hard left of the Democratic party. Obama ran unopposed in 1996 so every group on the south side of Chicago supported him. NJM, please give that Daily Kos link to your friend!

But please tell your friend that if he is afraid of socialism, he should write to the GOP ASAP as they are promoting socializing major aspects of our banking system currently.

Fascinating notion! Anybody know enough to know if this is even a remote possibility? DR, your point about this being the first of several steps is well taken, and your creativity is excellent.

Walt Monegan seems like an Alaskan natural resource. How can he be tapped ? (and wouldn’t a run for governor be preferable to him spending lots of time and $$ in a civil case?)

With Pitiful Palin’s Nazi-like blunders:

Thanks MissSue.

Intrigued, you sound rather sad. I am concerned for you in general. It is a bit as if because the world is not perfect, by some arbitrary standards that are passively aquired or actively chosen, then the effort is not worth it.

Well, perfection and humanity are mutually exclusive. It is simply the human condition.

The overwhelming evidence leads me to the conclusion that Obama is more than what I could have hoped for. Obama possesses the intellect, curiosity, openness, and resilience to deal with the dreadfully imperfect situation in which our country now exists.

Moreover, the national and international condition facing us has been brought about largely by a man possessing the polar opposites of the desirous Obama traits–mediocrity, incuriosity, closemindedness, and rigidity.

Any truth to the suspicion that members of right-wing terrorist groups The American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan have been infiltrating Sarah Palin rallies in an attempt to organize Sarah’s supporters?

The last time the word “treason” was used in the presidential arena was a full-page ad that appeared in a Dallas newspaper on the morning of November 22, 1963. “The headline — “Wanted for Treason” — was sprawled across a poster-sized photo of President John F. Kennedy,” President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas later that day.

Greetings Muddies..

Does anyone find it aggrevating that Barbie is back on the campaign trail like nothing happened?? She’s out there in the deny baby deny mode, and i wonder if it will work.. Who knows.. the polls have the repugs tanking.

Now, I need help.. Are there any oncologists or dermatologists on here??

There is video today of McMelanoma and he has a fairly large lump (yea, i know his whole face is a lump) but this is new.. It’s next to his nose under his left eye. It’s fairly pronounced and depending on how the sunlight hits him, it’s easily visible. The question is could this be another melanoma or is it nothing..

Sad to think bad of anyone who might be sick, but using the Christian right’s opinion that evil comes out in all forms, maybe his evil is coming out in the form of new skin cancer.

Could be? don’t know. Where are the muddy doctors?

There already is a Walt Monegan for Gov site, it’s been around for weeks. It’s primarily a site for well-wishers (and the occasional troll, of course) to leave positive thoughts for Walt.

By your standards, Intrigued, McCain is a roaring socialist because he went further than anyone else in Washington on proposing that the government buy out all the bad home loans at face value. Actually, the term “socialist” is one of those red-flag-to-a-bull phrases that the loony right in this country employ to try to stop people thinking. The AMA recruited Ronald Reagan back in the early 60’s to rant & fearmonger against the “socialism” of Medicare. Retired folks getting medical entitlements, God no! !! To Arms!!! Save our Freedom!!

“Branchflower Report to the Legislative Council
Page 8 of 263

II Findings

Findings Number One

For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides “The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.””

The concept of the public trust relates back to the origins of democratic government, and its seminal idea that; within the public, lies the true power and future of a society, therefore, whatever trust the public places in its officials must be respected.

One of the reasons why bribery is regarded as a notorious evil is that it contributes to a culture of corruption in which public trust is eroded.

A famous example of the betrayal of public trust is in the story of Julius Caesar, who was killed by Roman senators who believed they had to act drastically to preserve the republic against his alleged monarchical ambitions. It is an interesting concept, nevertheless.

America can now be not so proud to add another not so famous incident of rape of the public trust.

Sarah Palin, You are not trustworthy.

Distrust is worse than just the absence of trust. It rears its ugly head when you actively expect that the other guy will take advantage of you, when you have reason to suspect that, given a chance, your “friends” will further their own interests and ignore yours

Distrust generates an expectation of potential harm.

Citizens for a Better America.

Jnm, big al and all the rest. Yes, after the Paulson/Bush bailout we are all members of the New Socialist Party. No big deal. Now, if they claimed Obama was a card carrying member of the New Commie Pinko Putin Lovin Party, now THAT would make all the difference in the world of course – like waving lipstick in front of a pitbull.

Joy from Wisconsin aka Chisel Dustup Palin

Just my advice as a previously long time registered Republican: You will give the other side more cud to chew on if you go in costumes. It is still too far away from Halloween IMO. The Republicans will infer that you are too cowardly to show your faces in this protest or some such other rot. A lot of people (like the remaining undecideds) might think this a credible argument. I know its too late…the protest is probably under way now, but maybe some will see this and reconsider. You could always do another protest closer to Halloween (and Election Day) in your Halloween costumes. Just a thought.

Otherwise, Thank You to Stephen Branchflower, the Alaskan Legislature, the Citizens of Alaska, and especially Andrew Halcro who is taking a lot of guff for having outed SarahandTodd Palin’s activities. Palin should never have been even THIS close to the presidency. Thank you again!

The only “ists” I’m afraid of are racists. They will ruin this country and the world if they get their way.

It might be a waste of time to concentrate on Palin’s replacement first. First, get rid of her. Dump her for being a racist and hate mongering driver. She gets the national stage and that’s what she does? I’d rather have Wally back. Think of Jay Hammond and what a neat person he was. Palinism needs a big stake put in its fat greedy heart.

Alaska, America, and the world are better than this.

Recall Palin for undermining what Alaska truly stands for. Sing “Eight Stars of Gold”, and mention who designed that beautiful flag. A beautiful little boy..and a child shall lead them….

I was at the VERY RAINY rally this morning from beginning to end – except that I was unable to stay for the music that played after the speakers spoke and the crowd began to mingle with each other, hugging, saying hello, saying “Great Job!” to the various speakers. I’m sure others took better pics than me, since I was at the front of the group listening to the speakers and couldn’t see all the people and signs behind me. I don’t know how many people were there, at least 300, I think? There were people counting us so that number will be announced later. To the forum posters who think the KKK or some weird right wing groups might “infiltrate” the crowd – well I guess you’ve never been to Juneau! No weirdos there, just lots of familiar, wet faces smiling to each other and the speakers – even though some of the signs were suffering structural integrity from the rain. There were some costumes, many signs were covered in plastic, and even the dogs who came with their owners barked appropriately while the speakers voiced their concerns about Gov. Palin not caring or supporting Alaska’s residents, issues, wildlife, resources, social issues, and children. The rally was very fun, and I’m sure the rain pouring down over our hoods and ball caps just made it that much more fun. The speakers included a University of Alaska student. a couple of local fisherman, a couple Alaskan Natives (one is an attorney) , a doctor, and former State of AK Commissioner. Our local press was there with some of their cameras covered in jackets to protect them from the rain. All in all, it was a good day in Juneau! I will send pics to AKMuckraker and I’m sure there will a lot more sent in as well. Thanks to EVERYONE for your support!!!

Oh yes, I forgot – the Gov Mansion sign is gone. I circled the mansion a few times just before the rally at 10 just to make sure. I giggled the whole time and now will not be able to drive by the mansion without giggling. Lots of Obama window signs around the neighborhood! There would be yard signs, too but we haven’t been able to get the orders for them filled.

WOW! A few viral internet marketers for the Obama campaign spreading their hate on the blogs again as if they were far, far larger in numbers than they plainly really are. I wonder what the vast majority of those houses will vote for? Probably McCain, because they’re American and they don’t want to die, simply put. Have fun blogging.

ask questions
investigate claims
organize and unify
speak your mind
let your voice be heard

it’s not time for the politricksters brand of wishy-washy “change”
it’s time to fight for our rights and freedoms together
give the power back to the people
VIVA LA REVOLUCION

last night while posting on the forum at the Anchorage daily news, I saw this post and copied it. It includes a link to a glowing letter of recommendation written by then Mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin on behalf of Mike Wooten sent to the State Troopers. What is really interesting is that this letter is written on official mayoral letterhead…which is normally a huge no no!. You do not recommend your brother in law for a job on mayoral letterhead (mayor’s stationery). Any such recommendation should have been relayed on personal stationery.
Click on the link to see the actual letter. I have removed the username of the poster as I do not have his persmission to re-post it.

All the nice stuff she wrote in her Letter of Recommendation went down the tubes when he left her sister for another woman, which is the real reason she wanted him fired. And when monegan wouldn’t play her game he became a bad guy as well. Blame the victim the Sarah Failin way.

PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS POST THIS DOCUMENT IS SOMETHING THEY WOULDN’T ALLOW TO COME OUT IN THE INVESTIGATVE DOCUMENT PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC BUT PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE TROOPERS WANT TO PUT THE TRUTH OUT AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIRED IF SHE DIDN’T WRITE THIS LETTER.

A CLOSE FRIEND ON THE FORCE SENT ME A COPY OF THIS LETTER…

Just stumbled across this site and had to say thank you to all – I LOVE the Obama signs in Juneau.

Here in St. Louis, we had a magnificent rally on Saturday under the Gateway Arch – estimated at 100,000 people. Set all kinds of records! I was there and it was historic, amazing and exciting! If you go to YouTube and just type in St. Louis Arch Barack, you’ll see some very cool videos.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA — Absolutely can’t wait :o) !!!!!!!!
