Justin Elliot of Salon reveals a closer relationship between domestic terrorist Schaeffer Cox and Joe Miller than known previously.

From Salon:

Last year, I did a lengthy story outlining the support Alaska Tea Party Senate candidate Joe Miller was getting within the state's militia movement. Now, one of the militia leaders I interviewed -- 26-year-old Schaeffer Cox -- has been arrested and charged in a lurid plot to kill judges and state troopers.

With Cox newly relevant, I looked back at the notes of my interview with him last year.

"I know Joe Miller pretty well. It's a small state. I've known him, I know his kids," he said, adding:

"He's a good guy and we're buddies."

But it's also true that Cox did not share Miller's politics. He told me:

"Joe Miller is still operating under the conventional government wisdom of 'might makes right.' I don't want a conservative person running my life, and I don't want a liberal running my life, except me. [Miller] has real conservative, traditional kind of values, but I don't think he grasps the fundamental idea of self-ownership as an individual. I think he still thinks in terms of a collective. Maybe he would do a better job than the next guy at tweaking the collective, but I think that's a dead end."

Well isn't THAT interesting?  And what did it say in the statement that Miller released about Cox?

Former US Senate Candidate Joe Miller is disputing the media's characterization of him as a “close friend and associate” of arrested Alaska Militia leader Schaeffer Cox. Mr. Miller became acquainted with Mr. Cox through Republican Party politics, not unlike many other State leaders. Mr. Cox offered no tangible support to Miller's run for the US Senate; he was neither a campaign contributor nor volunteer; and, save for public forums during the campaign, has had no contact with Mr. Miller subsequent to his run-ins with the law early last year. To the contrary, Cox himself was critical of Miller during last fall's campaign. ("Schaeffer Cox of Fairbanks, commander of the Alaska Peacemakers Militia, tells Salon he isn't a Miller supporter.") Mr. Miller has never had any connection to any of Mr. Cox's militia organizations, and in no way condones any lawless behavior.

Well now SOMEBODY is certainly not telling the truth, are they?

And who is it that was caught lying multiple times late last year? Oh yeah, this guy!

You know I believe that we are just beginning to see how deep the connection between the militia members, domestic terrorism, and certain Alaska politicians is going to turn out to be in the long run. We already have certain Miller associates running to ground. I wonder how many more will disappear in the night or turn state's evidence before this whole thing is over?
