FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 4, 2009

On July 3rd, 2009, Governor Sarah Palin announced her intent to resign her gubernatorial duties and transfer the powers of Governor to Lt. Governor Sean Parnell.

Almost immediately afterwards, several unscrupulous people have asserted false and defamatory allegations that the “real” reasons for Governor Palin’s resignation stem from an alleged criminal investigation pertaining to the construction of the Wasilla Sports Complex. This canard was first floated by Democrat operatives in September 2008 during the national campaign and followed up by sympathetic Democratic writers.1. It was easily rebutted then as one of many fabrications about Sarah Palin. Just as power abhors a vacuum, modern journalism apparently abhors any type of due diligence and fact checking before scurrilous allegations are repeated as fact.

Sweet! Now it’s been addressed.

[EmilyGeiger]

She’s damned is she does, she’s damned is she doesn’t. She stays in a perpetual no win situation, and then we all wonder why in the world she would resign. Its sickening

[presently no screen name]

Evil hates goodness.

"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. The Alaska Constitution protects the right of free speech, while simultaneously holding those “responsible for the abuse of that right.” Alaska Constitution Art. I, Sec. 5. http://ltgov.state.ak.us/constitution.php?section=1. These falsehoods abuse the right to free speech; continuing to publish these falsehoods of criminal activity is reckless, done without any regard for the truth, and is actionable."

RUH ROH!!!!! LMAO!

These leftist are POS. I’ve often thought truly that leftist should be banned from celebrating Independence Day since they have no real spirit of independence. This just shows that leftist were going to continue with the absurd ethic complaints costing Alaska taxpayers more and more. Its too bad but the leftist had truly inflicted real harm on the people of Alaska.

In my life I’ve been afraid of something a number of times. I’ve personally felt fear, and seen fear in others. I’ve never seen so much fear though as I see in the Leftists of Sarah Palin.

The Left genuinely fears her.

Good.

Evil hates goodness.

They DO hate her, with a passion. They go nuts. It's for one reason only: she's a threat to their darling boy. A corollary to that is the fact that she stands to be the first lady president, and is not a dimowit.

Now, she will be in a position to speak truth to Lauer -- she can call the deranged hit-squads for what they are; and they feel they must destroy her (now more than ever).

Regarding "deep pockets" let's say the NYT and WarshPost continue to carry the false stories on their websites once she's not Governor ~ I think Sarah gets really rich really quick!

Whereas it's pretty difficult for a canidate for political office to win a defamation case, we have to remember that Barry Goldwater won against Ralph Ginzburg, the publisher of Eros back when he was just the publisher of Fact.

Ralph later died of multiple myeloma, a disease commonly afflicting lieing liars and propagandistic pamphleteers. Barry got $75,000 for his troubles.

I would imagine the WarshPost has more than that, and the New York Times continues to own some of the floors in the Times building. She'll need a nifty headquarters with access to the "media".

[FTJM]

It’s good that they got out in front of that one.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Let the lawsuits begin! Go Sarah!

"This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore..."

Ms. Moore??? Did Lumpy Riefenstahl make an unannounced trip to Thailand?

[Sarah Barracuda]

I hope they keep track of every bastard who smears Sarah Palin, her lawyer is AWESOME. I have heard him speak numerous times on the Eddie Burke show, you don’t mess with this guy. I hope she sues all those ass clowns who smear her every second of everyday. Sarah ROCKS, the more they smear her, the more I adore her

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

“and is actionable.”

Looks like the Palins legal fees to date might well be paid by some who caused them

I'm loving this!!! Pass the popcorn. The worm has turned & we can watch the RATS squirm now!
