Title: In Anchorage, an Anti-Palin Protest

ANCHORAGE -- A couple of hours after Gov. Sarah Palin returned to the Outside, as Alaskans call the Lower 48, her local critics swarmed an Anchorage intersection to correct the widespread impression that the whole of the Last Frontier endorses her candidacy.

The midday protest outside a city library drew a crowd in the high hundreds -- perhaps surging past a thousand -- from the city's relatively liberal environs, who seemed very happy to see one another and be reminded that they are not alone.

"The whole thing grew out of frustration," said Charla Sterne, one of the organizers, who like several people at the rally declined to say where they worked (several said they were state employees and feared retribution).

"Last week this was just ten women sitting around talking about this perception that all of Alaska supports Sarah Palin. We apparently hit a nerve and started a movement," Sterne said.

A sense of festival obtained. There was a woman in a polar bear suit representing "Polar Bear Moms Say: No Palin." Drivers on 36th Avenue saw a little girl waving a sign "Don't Ban My Books."

Maia Nolan, 29, wore a sticker reading, "My Mom for V.P."

"My mom is from Alaska. She's a working mother. She's good looking," said Nolan. "So she seems to be qualified to be vice president."

There were also a few score Palin supporters in the mix, most of them alerted to the event by a conservative talk show host.

Eddie Burke of KBYR-AM showed up in person, but while there was no evident friction between the two camps, cheerful chants of "O-bam-ah" effectively drowned out whatever he was saying to the cameras in the center of a mini-media scrum.

The din did not prevent reading the signs, pro and against:

Bush In A Skirt

Bullseye. If you liked Bush/Cheney, you'll just love McCain/Palin.

One thing is for certain, you can see the Carl Rove influence on the mcinsane/palin campaign.

As many of you know, there is an ongoing investigation into the former palin brother-in-law case. palin claims she had nothing to do with trying to get her sister's ex fired. Later on she capitulated and said well she did have an interest in getting him fired. Then she fired a government employee for not firing the ex brother-in-law.

Well there has been a bipartisan committee that appointed a special prosecuter tto get to the bottom of it. This special prosecuter was appointed and the investigation began long before palin became a suckass vp runningmate of mcinsane.

It was on one of the sunday morning political shows today where she now says she will not answer to any subponeas, in otherwords, she is going to stonewall it just like bush/cheney/rove and Gonzoleas and he rest of the repukes have been doing since they pulled off 9-11. The same old shit we have been having since bushkie took over. She's telling us she's above the law even as a lowly bitch running for vp.

Let's hear all you palin supporters defend this bitch C and tell us how happy and proud you will be having more feces in control. None of the 4 running in the two factions of our one party is worth a damn. Garbage in=garbage out.
