Palin's lawyers have threatened to sue news outlets that publish false information that she is under Federal investigation.
As a private citizen she has a much greater expectation of privacy than she had as governor. Thus she can more effectively fight back at these Lame Stream Media outlets that utilize Left Wing blogger claims as their "sources."
You should also understand that in Alaska an ethics charge can be filed for the price of a postage stamp and the charge must be defended. Palin spent over $500,000 successfully defending 15 of these charges brought by the Left as a strategy to bring her down.
The Lefties should be congratulated. Politicians aren't stupid and they will now just quietly move to change the laws in Alaska and other states that allow such actions. In other words, the net results of the Lefties unethical behavior will be to remove a valuable citizen tool for keeping their political critters in line.
But then no cost to the country is too high for the Left if they think it will help them gain and keep power.

Actually, the case of Sullivan Vs. the New York Times states that there must be actual malice found before libel or slander against a public official may be found by a court.
ReplyDeleteHere's what one of the targets of Palins' lawyer had to say about the subject:
On the Fourth of July, when Americans everywhere were celebrating our most sacred national holiday with parades and barbeques, Governor Sarah Palin was busy having me, Shannyn Moore, declared an Enemy of the State.
In a rambling quasi-legal letter, the most powerful person in this state accused me of defaming her for pointing out the fact that there have been rumors, -rumors- of corruption, rumors that have been around for years.
When Sarah Palin gave her three-weeks notice to the people of Alaska, aborting her term as Governor, a lot of people wondered why she quit. Mid-level managers turn-in their notice, not elected public officials. It didn't make sense. It still doesn't. People have been trying to guess why she really quit, and everyone in Alaska has been playing the guessing game. They're rumors. There are a lot of rumors. And with all the corruption we've had here in Alaska, of course we wonder what's really behind her resignation.
Governors don't just quit. But Governor Palin did.
The governor's massive overreaction -on the Fourth of July no less- should make any reasonable person wonder what's wrong with her. The Lady protests way too much. Eventually we'll all find out why she really walked off the job.
Sarah Palin is a coward and a bully. What kind of politician attacks an ordinary American on the Fourth of July for speaking her mind? What's wrong with her? The First Amendment was designed to protect people like me from the likes of people like her. Our American Revolution got rid of kings. And queens, too. Am I jacked-up? You betcha.
Sarah Palin, if you have a problem with me, then sue me. Shannyn Moore will not be muzzled!
Shannyn Moore needs a muzzle, and a rabies shot.

ReplyDeleteDA you remain banned. Write something interesting without the insults and I might let it stand.
ReplyDeleteLike JeremyR did?
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot, that's your ideal of political discourse, as long as a "Leftie" gets bashed in the process.
If you don't play in the traffic you won't get run over.
