The founder of the Alaska Independence Party -- a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years -- once professed his "hatred for the American government" and cursed the American flag as a "damn flag."
The AIP founder, Joe Vogler, made the comments in 1991, in an interview that's now housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government," Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.
"And I won't be buried under their damn flag," Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. "I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." (cont.)

It says she "courted" the group. She addressed this group's convention this year and in the past. Look at this clip of an AIP meeting. They admit she WAS a member. Right around the 6:15 mark....
Looks like the video was removed. The link doesn't work. Here's a link to the same video. According to this vid, she was member.

Even if true, I'd rather my canidate for VP have "courted" an orgnization than my Presidential candidate befriend and support a known terrorist who bombed American landmarks.
