I’d say that several high placed democrats will be attempting to head off some charges and evidence of financial hanky-panky

If anyone does not think that a number of wealthy Republicans are already funding private research and investigations by now they are quite naive

The left is throwing garbage at the wall in the assumption that the uniformed that live by network TV will associate this with the 15 ethics complaints that they do not know have been proven to be false

Did you read post #36 to me? The dems get away with anything. Hope this isn’t more bad news for the Palins.

“Its also being reported that charges of public corruption and embezzlement are imminent, thus explaining her resignation”

I’m at a loss as to why, if indictments are imminent, resigning would help. Unless they mean to say she’s sparing the people of Alaska the pain of seeing an incumbent governor drug through the mud. Otherwise, it’s not as if once she resigns the investigators will throw up their hands and say, “She’s out of office; never mind. Next case, please.”

Good on her! Now she can fight back and not have to worry over the Libs slamming her for not doing her duty as governor.

These BS tactics by the left need to stop. The only way they will stop is if they have to pay, and pay dearly, for the luxury of spreading unsubstantiated lies, rumors and innuendos against any conservative they perceive as a threat to the march to marxism.

It’s time to take back the country.

"Of course, once she becomes a private citizen again, the rules change, and if the libel (etc.) continues, it could become very entertaining indeed."

Actually, she'll be a "public" person for the rest of her life, regardless if she ever holds elective or appointed office again. Her kids, and possibly her husband, could make a compelling case that they were no longer public figures. But, it's an area of the law that is very complicated. With the protections afforded the press under the First Amendment, it's generally very difficult to prove slander or liable in cases involving public figures.

These are false charges, a slander started by some leftard woman. Sarah is already threatening to sue. Just another left wing a**hat that wants to make it as difficult for Sarah as they can. Sarah also threatened to sue anyone who repeated this story, and specifically named certain news outlets.

This was rebutted in Sept. of 2008. Sarah's legal team, today, sent a shot across the bow of those who continue to report the federal investigation as 'fact'. They're talking about taking legal action against the liars if they make the accusation again.

To that, all I have to say is "Go get em, Sarah!"

NY Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964) pretty much put an end to public officials suing for libel.

After July 26th, she'll no longer be a public official. ;o)

'More Commie BS from the Commie DemocRATS. They won’t be happy until she’s dead.'

And I have an ever-growing list of thugs, parasites, seditionists, and traitors whom I am anxious to see under six feet of dirt. As well as a bladder just primed to express it's opinion on top of said plot.

Please, Sarah, DO NOT GIVE UP!!! We are behind you all the way. This desperate, non-stop mud slinging is designed for only one thing and that is to make you give it up.

You continue to stand for what is right and let the American people see for themselves that you are the real thing. We will stand with you to the end.

These allegations were floated in Sept. of 2008, and were rebutted. Read that link to the statement from her legal team. It’s an eye-opener, and will provide good information in the event you run up against some poor demented soul who depends on the MSM for all their news.

As far as suing for libel, I think if she is still a public figure or celebrity a lower standard applies.

However, since so much of her ordeal looks and smells like actual malice, maybe she’s got a chance.

These people should be ashamed of themselves.

But they aren't. And they never will be. Which is why they must be crushed in 2010 and 2012.

And here is what The Palin's attorney has said:

"To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as 'fact' that Governor Palin resigned because she is 'under federal investigation' for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation," Van Flein said in a statement. "This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law."

Indictment? I’ll believe it when I see it.

You can throw any garbage you want at a public figure these days.

“These people should be ashamed of themselves.”

That would require them to be capable of shame. Besides, they get paid to publish this junk.
