Same here. Far from being a legal expert, but it seems that these slanderers are working from the premise that Sarah is a 'public figure', and so she is fair game. However, on the other hand, she is no longer employed in the public sector (re: her resignation), but is still a 'public figure', and then again - still fair game.
Either way its cut, there is a whole lot of slander out there and all it would take is a *major* lawsuit against any MSM outlet which publishes these slanders to be made an example of ... they've already been put on notice by Palin's lawyers. Let them cross that line and the sparks will fly.
They have already been put on notice but they are still doing it. This crosses the line in ways that should make her attorney say enough and start suing. This Dennis Zaki(Who turns out to be best buddies with every single person who filed ethics complaints against Sarah Palin..well golly, what a small world) is already backtracking saying he is just reporting this “rumor” and will bring us some more info in the next few weeks. Looks like to me he is already crapping in his pants and doesn’t want to get sued. Same story with Shannyn Moore, who after Sarah resigned, said, get this, that in the next few days Sarah Palin was gonna be indited by the FBI and thrown in jail, well, since that rumor was proven to be false, what did Shannyn Moore do, she backtracked and said “Oh I was saying what I had heard” this is what these leftists do, they are smart, I’ll give them that, they put lies out there then claim they were just reporting on what they heard, well, who told them this, reveal the source, of course we all know who the sources are, Obama, Axelrod, Soros, and Emmanuel
