The Campaign To Bankrupt The Palin Family
Redstate ^ | March 24, 2009 | Martin Knight

Posted on 03/25/2009 12:54:31 AM PDT by SolidWood

From just September till now, Sarah Palin has accumulated a personal dept of over $500,000 in legal fees defending herself against fake/false/frivolous ethics charges. That’s Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.

A group of Alaska liberals, with the apparent cooperation of members of the Alaska Democratic Party have been filing ethics charge after ethics charge against Sarah Palin. The aim? Not to get her impeached and booted from office, because every single one of the charges are frivolous, baseless and even fairly deranged - one was even filed in the name of a soap opera character - but something far more personal.

These people want to bankrupt the Palins and leave them destitute. They want to empty their bank accounts so that they cannot afford the basics and necessities of life after Governor Palin leaves office.

With the exception of the partisan ethics complaint filed against Palin because her husband (a private citizen) made it clear (as was his right) that he didn’t think a policeman (now a hero to liberals) who used a taser on a ten year old child should continue to keep his gun and badge, all of these ethics charges were filed after John McCain tapped her to be his Vice-President.

David Bonoir, as the House Democratic Whip pioneered this tactic in the mid-1990s after the Gingrich Revolution swept Republicans to their first Majority in forty years. Immediately after Congress resumed, Bonoir began filing ethics complaints - frivolous, partisan complaints that even Democratic members of the ethics committee mostly laughed away - against Newt Gingrich on a weekly basis, week after week like clockwork and sending out press releases to friendly press outlets.

re: So you have registered 2002, but didn't feel the need to post until October 2008)))

I've come across a few of those, who talk trolly but have long "histories" on FR. You gotta figure how many of life's losers Soros has hired to troll the net. FR is an effective site, it's no tinfoil to think that we are a constant target.

I’d bet we have an Alaskan notary FReeper. Maybe we can post a request on the Alaska board.

I don't think that her PAC covers this.

She already said that she intends to create a legal fund specifically for this purpose. I guess it's in the making. Hopefully we will be able to help her soon.

Here's one of the complaints:

Linda Kellen Biegel, better known as blogger "Celtic Diva," is filing an ethics complaint with the Attorney General today against Governor Sarah Palin. The complaint alleges a conflict of interest when Governor Palin wore specially designed snow-machine gear advertising her husband Todd's biggest Iron Dog sponsor, Arctic Cat Inc. She did so while acting in her official capacity as Governor of the State of Alaska and official starter of the Iron Dog Snow Machine Race.

Not only was she well aware that there would be extensive Alaska media coverage, the Palins also knew that international magazine Sports Illustrated was coming to do a story on Todd.

Biegel provides links to the Palins' APOC Financial Disclosure Statements for the last two years, which reveal the thousands of dollars Todd Palin receives in sponsorship benefits from Arctic Cat. While there is nothing illegal in actually receiving sponsorship money, this makes the Governor's wearing of Arctic Cat gear while representing Alaska the equivalent of a walking billboard, providing benefits to a private company from whom she and her family derive income.

The complaint claims Governor Palin violated of AS39.52.120 of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act, Misuse of official position:

(A) A public officer may not use, or attempt to use, an official position for personal gain, and may not intentionally secure or grant unwarranted benefits or treatment for any person; (3) use state time, property, equipment or other facilities to benefit personal or financial interests

The online version of the complaint can be found RIGHT HERE.

What do you want? What do you mean by “proof”? There are dozens of frivolous “ethics complaints” filed against Palin. Look up on FR search or google about all these ridiculous complaints. On the Governor’s office site there are statements against them.

Regarding the lawyer debt... that’s what Governor Palin said during her Lincoln Day adress March 20. She also said that she intends to create a legal fund to pay her legal debt with donations.

I just wanted to see where the idea came from that they wanted to bankrupt her....that that was their goal. I didn’t see one in the article, and the reader should not have to go seeking out their own sources...it should have been stated in the article. I know you didn’t write it, just posted it. I thought I may have missed something. I am aware of all the charges they are attempting to bring against her. I just think that any article that is accusatory needs a source to back it. I am not defending them, but it does not help our side if we just fling accusations.

I am not doubting that it is hurting them financially or even that the goal of the other side is to bankrupt them...just wanted to see if we could prove what their motive was.

This is the politics of personal destruction at its most reprehensible … and these people need to have their names made public and turned to mud in Alaska and all over America. They need to have themselves mired in court and forced to pay hundreds upon hundreds of thousands in attorney’s fees defending themselves against charges of depriving the people of Alaska of the services of their governor because of nothing more than hate.

I knew the Left’s tactics were ugly, but this … this is beyond wrong, this is pure

Sarah needs our support.

The demoncRATS are so afraid & running scared of the power of this woman that their using heavy tactics to bury her. Unbelievable! Give the RATS enough rope and they’ll hang themselves. This is one prime example.

How should it be "proved"?

The rats filing the lawsuits will hardly admit their motive.

The lame lawsuits are there, and the massive debt is there... from these two facts we can deduct that the purpose of these obviously nonsensical lawsuits is to bankrupt her (plus harrassing her politically).

See Palin's own words:

makes you wonder how many such technical accidents are not so accidental.

(ie McCain’s background being a perfect green for chroma key effect photoshops)
