Why is a secesionist on this show?


If this show is supposed to be patriotic, then why is Todd Palin, known member of Alaskan Secessionist groups, on it?

Todd Palin talks about his son serving in the Army. He doesn't say that his choice was Army or do jailtime.

Are you really going to trot that lie out again?

It's been proven time and again that No JUDGE ever ordered him to go in the Army. In fact, the Army will no longer accept enlistments like that and haven't since the end of the Viet-Nam War (mid/late 1970s).

Yes, there are rumors (no proof, just one kid's say-so, no police reports or court records, no ex-cops coming forward, no eye-witnesses other than that one kid) of him getting into some trouble when he was 15 or 16 with three or four other kids, but he didn't join the Army until he was 19. Even if he really did get arrested, etc, why would the judge wait three years before sending him to the Army?

But just back to your echo chamber of I-Hate-Sarah-doc-COM blogs and enjoy the world where the truth doesn't matter is lies can hurt your opponent.

And for the record, I did NOT vote for Sarah Palin and was no happy when she was tapped for V.P.

I think they put Todd Palin on the show because it will bring out two groups: the nut job Tea Bagger group who think that Sara Palin is the second coming and the other group of people that see thru that phony act of hers and cant stand the name Palin- so they tune in to watch hoping to see him fail or make a fool out of himself like she does.

Haha well unfortunately they will be disappointed, he seems to be doing the best out of all the non-spec ops competitors. I just laugh when Nick does his emo drama on the show, pretend crying or being afraid. At least Palin doesnt pull any of that "star" bull**** although I agree he isnt really a star so why is he on here? But then again, is an olympic winner a star, or a female boxer? Guess we just have to put it down to this show's concept being fail.
