You’re not the supposed reincarnation of Ronald Reagan. If it was you Joe Schmoe, then have at it. But she’s supposed to be in the mold of the Gipper, Lady Thatcher and Barry Goldwater. Can you imagine any of them being so wussified as to actually file a lawsuit because of an obvious smear job? Can you imagine if Barry or Bill Clinton decided to sue the American Spectator or Free Republic itself for all of the bs that is made upon the minds of our own lunatic fringe. She should grow up and so should you.
When Barry Goldwater complained to the FEC about Johnson’s “daisy ad”
...that sent the following message to people across the country “I am 20 points behind in the polls, im finished and im not punching back with my own ad”
I don't buy into the fact that your “station” in life, (Political or otherwise), means you and your Family are targets for some slime ball out to make a dishonest buck.
In my world, you break it, you buy it. I hope McGinnis and Random House buy the Palin Family anything their little hearts desire while being forced to choke on the lies and innuendo they decided to publish.
The fact is the book was planned and written as an attempted Political Assassination of Governor Palin with no thought that it may cause the opposite effect. Typical Liberal overreach. I will relish every step the Legal system will dole out on the perpetrators of this malicious fraud.
I always waited for President Bush to fight against the lies and deceit thrown at him and his Administration. It never happened and the result was four years of Pres__ent Obummer, the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers. (I love that line)
The idea that Governor Palin is fighting the smear merchants makes me proud. Now I'll go check out the Twitter feed on AttackWatch.com and a get a few laughs to round out my evening.
However, if some slimy reporter made up stories about Nancy cavorting with hookers and about how he snorted cocaine off the top of a barrel and so forth, yes, you bet Reagan would sue.
First off, “wussified” isn't even a word.
McGinniss attacked Sarah's family, he attacked Sarah's mother and father. He said her son Track had problems with cocaine and Oxycontin. He spread deliberate lies about her and everyone around her.
Sarah is doing exactly the right thing. Nobody who is intelligent thinks she is “whining” or “wussified”. She is defending herself and her family and showing the left that there will be a price to pay if they continue to lie about her.
