Good grief. Joe Miller has countersued to keep his employment records secret
and other questions surface regarding his ties to the Alaska Militia and Norm Olson, who got kicked out of the Michigan Militia for being too radical, and has set up his compound on the Kenai Peninsula.

http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2010/10/joe-miller-countersues-for-legal-cost.html



<snip>

So essentially Joe Miller is suing for the legal costs that he will accrue as he fights to keep any facts from being revealed that may further damage his reputation, completely ignoring the fact that if he had simply cooperated with the press in the first place there would have been NO legal cost for him to worry about.

Of course Miller was afraid to do that because he is well aware that the information in his employment file may blow his campaign out of the water.

(For those confused by the fact that Miller seems to be represented by a different attorney than Sarah Palin's pet poodle Thomas Van Flein, don't be. He is a member of Van Flein's law firm.)

I have to imagine that Miller is having significant difficulty focusing on his campaign right now. Especially since the ties between the militia nutjobs in Alaska and his rent-a-Gestapo are coming to light.

<snip>

It is obvious from reading this forum post, and the ones both preceding and following it, that these guys really believe that a war with the Federal government, and UN peace keeping troops, is imminent. They are essentially gathering weapons and exchanging tactical information so that they will only kill Federal agents, military personnel, and civilians who wander into their perimeter, and NOT EACH OTHER.

I am beginning to believe that THIS information might be just as important, or even more important, than finding out about Joe Miller's unethical behavior while working for the North Star borough.

I would like somebody to ask Teabagger Joe, what his involvement is with ANY militia members in Alaska, and if he is aware that the guy he hired to rough up Tony Hopfinger is actively planning to take up arms against our own military members and Federal agents? Remember he DID make that remark about admiring how East Germany managed to control the flow of immigrants with that great fence of theirs.

(BTW for any of you who think I might be exaggerating the crazy, I invite you to click the link to the ACM forum page and read a few of those posts for yourself. And if you live in Alaska good luck trying to sleep tonight.)

9. Oh crap. I live on the Kenai Peninsula. I wonder if he lives in
Sterling or North Kenai. Both places are nuts.

3. You'd think he was running for a federal office, with all those nosy questions.

4. I know.
He seems shocked that we would be curious about his past job performances, especially in government jobs. He's such a tool, I can't believe he still has any support.

5. I saw the letter he received from the Alaska GOP posted here yesterday.
He's a political mess!

Hi, Blue!

6. I think everyobody is missing one essential point what
this security group was doing was illegal. They did not have the authority to do anything. THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LICENSE TO PRACTICE AS A SECURITY FIRM. I tell you, and maybe the reporter is afraid, but damn if I wouldn't sue the company and Joe Miller for as much money as I could. And then let them pay costs and settle for a dollar. Letting them know that I think they are crooks.

7. Life must be SO complicated for Miller right now.
Lawsuits. Avoiding the media. Hiring goons to make sure he can avoid the media. IRS inquiries.

Would he have the time to do any Senatorin' if he got elected?

12. "If he's innocent, then he has nothing to worry about."
Isn't that what the ultra-righties have told us about every invasion of privacy since 2001? Fuck Miller; if he wants public office, he should put up or STFU.

13. That occurred to me, too
I have no doubt that a Senator Miller would never meet a police-state initiative sold as national security that he didn't like. But as for doing the routine disclosures anyone running for public office has to do? Well, that's personal. And secret. And, uh, well just none of your business!

Are Alaskans paying attention to this, or is it just the political wonks?

15. We need some money in there to call him. Teabagger grifter.
Cut from the same cloth as Palin and many other teabagger grifters. Need a national ad putting their faces out there noting the lack of ethics, morals, and trustworthiness for each of them. Shoot, Murkowski looks like a saint next to him.

16. I think this shithead's death spiral is probably ensuring the re-election of Murkowski.
Talk me down, Alaskans!

17. It's going to be very, very close,
much closer than the pollsters are predicting, I think. They're still showing Joe with numbers equal to Lisa's but I just don't see it based on comments at the Daily News. Scott, on the other hand, has a lot more support than the media is reporting. There seems to be an agenda here in the media and so on to re-elect Murkowski, but the McAdams people are fighting back hard. There were several good letters in support of him in today's paper. Check the letters: http://www.adn.com/2010/10/21/1513506/letters-to-the-editor-102210.html

18. Occultism - it's what Republicons are all about
They do not want the American people to know the truth about anything...
