re: #47 Talking Point Detective

Speaking of rightwing extremism…

I just ran across this. Where does the following statement come from? A Tea Party leader? Glenn Beck? Michelle Bachmann? Ron Paul? Rand Paul? Alex Jones?:

Actually,

This was the statement if “principles” issued by the American Independence Party in 1967. You know the American Independence Party, right? That’s the party that ran perhaps the most infamous segregationist in American history - George Wallace - for president.

And also the political party of which Todd Palin was a card-carrying member for a decade, and for whom Sarah Palin was the keynote speaker at their yearly convention, just before she was tapped as McCain’s running mate.
