This is pretty funny. They are going to teach us all a lesson: go against the “progressives utopian vision” and suffer total destruction. I hope Palin continues to stand strong against this garbage.

Oh Puh-leaze!!
Every damn democrat—especially his highly exaltedness King ZERO has accepted “private donations”.
The press and courts seem to hold conservatives to much higher standards than the carpet-bagging traitorous DEMS.

They really, really hate her don’t they?

They’re afraid of her.

They can’t handle the truth.

The left never sleeps.

She is allowed to have a defense fund to help raise money, what the hell is the big deal. The fund has been around since June. She is allowed to have one, good God these bastards will NEVER stop. See, this just proves Sarah right, she made the right decision in resigning. These spineless bastards will stop at NOTHING

We need to give OBAMA the same treatment Soros’ thugs are giving Palin. Hit him with suits and countersuits.

“May have” LOL!!! That’s weak!

Very weak. Yet it's a headline story (from the AP) on most news websites right now. ...not surprisingly. If someone claimed they once knew someone who once saw Sarah jaywalking it would be the lead story for about a week, and Larry King might even preempt his Michael Jackson coverage to discuss it.

accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.

Rats take private donation to pay for their legal bills. Bill Clinton did , and so is, Obama the Kenyan, who is paying his lawyers to defend his usurpation.

The 20th or so frivolous accusation against Palin and counting....

Yes, but she is not a Demonrat.

Well, given that this is Alaska, at least cold cash for legal bills doesn't have to sit in the freezer... /s

What a load. I guess the Democrats think that only rich people should run for office.

This is called “torturing the data until it confesses to the crime.” And I thought Democrats were against torture! :-)

OH MY GOD..ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH.

This will never stop. Until the Republicans get some good attornies and start investigations on every RAT they can. Plenty of rotten corrupt crap to work on. Sorry, these days dirt fighters win and don't give me this shit that we are above it. That crap got us King Obama. The world has changed and to stay in the shadow of a lost causes will not succeed. We don't need to drum up false stuff, the truth is enough. Just get busy and never let up.

Aside from some purely techincal violation like not checking the right box, the only way that she could get hurt by this is if she was using the fund for non-legal expenses. Considering that she will be getting millions for her book, I doubt she’d do it.

Investigator: Palin May Have Violated Ethics Laws An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts.

Anyone else remember the last "independent" committee that investigated Sarah, they had their picture taken in a little room adorned by about thirty Obama campaign signs.
