I can't find anything on the front page of CNN's website about it www.cnn.com

If they aren't covering this then why not???

1. They want to hide it
It's shameful that they would hide this, but no surprise.

8. If a group like Move On, for example, ran an ad on just the AIP story
showing video tapes of Palin speaking at their 2008 convention, with quotes from their members about their hatred of the United States and desires for independence, with a visual list of the AIP among other groups that the FBI considers suspect, and for which security clearances are not given ...

that could decide this election all in one short stroke.

Heck, if Move-On wanted to coordinate this with various other groups including Democratic Underground to fund such an ad, I'd contribute $50 right now.

10. BAM!

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) — John McCain’s campaign accused Barack Obama’s camp of spreading allegations that GOP running mate Sarah Palin had been a member of a political party that advocates a referendum that could allow Alaska to secede from the United States.

The McCain campaign sent reporters a document which they said showed Palin had been a Republican since registering to vote in 1982, and had not been a member of the Alaska Independence Party.

They also responded to reports that Palin had attended a convention of the AIP in her hometown of Wasilla in 2000. “This would seem to be the only decent thing to do, given her responsibilities as Mayor of Wasilla,” said spokesman Tucker Bounds.

The campaign has been increasingly aggressive in responding to rumors, often issuing denials before any information is reported in mainstream media outlets. On Tuesday, the Palins released a statement revealing that daughter Bristol Palin was currently pregnant, in response to rumors that the teenager had given birth earlier this year. They also confirmed that Todd Palin, the presumptive VP nominee’s husband, had been arrested for drunken driving two decades ago.
