How do I say this...in some respects, it’s our fault. The instant Palin began to be harassed by bogus legal challenges, we, the conservative right, should have set up a legal defense fund for her.
Millions of dollars would have poured in. But at the time, I really wasn’t paying enough attention to think of that.
A fund was set up but Palin seemed uncomfortable with soliciting for it. With the 2010 elections imminent it would be difficult for her to push conservative candidates and tin cup for her legal fees at the same time.
