Alaska State Troopers Subdue Protester with Sign "Palin: per diem fraud"

At one point, minutes after her plane arrived and before she started to speak, a protester in the hangar held up a sign saying "Palin: per diem fraud." Alaska State Troopers subdued him and escorted him outside at the request of the rally's hosts, the state Republican Party.

More than two dozen Barack Obama supporters waved signs outside the Palin event. Several said they were inspired to show up by the state Republican Party's statement that only Palin supporters were encouraged to come to the rally.

Nina Harun of Fairbanks, holding a "Soccer Mom for Real Change" sign, said she would have voted for Palin again for governor. But the independent Palin that Alaskans knew, who worked with the Democrats to raise taxes on oil companies, has turned into a Republican attack machine, she said.

"I heard her speech at the (Republican) convention and I was really ashamed of the way she acted," Harun said. "The hockey moms I know don't insult people. They are just using her."

Before Palin joined the McCain ticket, her fiercest critics in Alaska were fellow Republicans. Some Fairbanks Republicans remain skeptical but are far more hesitant to criticize her now that she's the party's vice presidential nominee.

"It's dangerous up here to do any truth telling -- we all want to have a future and she's going to control the state for the next four years whether she's vice president or governor or senator or turning the wheels from home in Wasilla. I mean she's a powerful woman," Jay Ramras, a Republican state representative from Fairbanks, said in an interview earlier this week.

Doesnt sound like he was violent or anything... subdued is an odd choice of word

It's the new euphemism for "roughed up"

I don't think Anchorage Daily News is part of a vast media conspiracy. everyone I've talked to says it's pretty left wing. Not everything you read in the media is encoded, you know.
