Palin Smear Attack Ad Claims Palin a Secessionist, Implies America Hatred

***Bumped until we find out who's behind this***

While searching for the Sarah Palin ABC interview, I ran across this attack ad. It looks professionally done to me. Like someone was paid to do the voice over. Pretty slimy, eh?

So, who's behind the video I wonder?

It claims that Sarah & Todd Palin were members of the Alaskan Independence Party and cites The New York Times for that source. Then it quotes the founder of that Party with some pretty anti-American stuff.

But here's what FactCheck.org says about that:

She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.
And The New York Times was forced to retract their earlier claim that Palin was a member of the party, blaming the error on the party's chair.

So again I ask, who's behind this?
