Wow - a TeeVee station in Fl scooped all of the Alaska stations.....
AH, she opened the fund some time ago folks. THis is news?
They’ll keep pushing until they get her on jaywalking.
Oh, whatever. :::rolls eyes:::
Yawn! Next week, Sarah Palin has overdue Library Books.
And if it were a democrat, the media wouldn’t be talking about it.
A similar ethics complaint could be made against Obama for his legal defense fund he’s using to defend the release of his birth certificate and other records he’s hiding. I doubt he’s paying $1M +- out of his own pocket.
There’s nothing to this, but that doesn’t matter to the media. They will save it in their archives, then when they need a slur, they will say “Palin, who was implicated in an ethics probe...”
Well, Clinton and the Democrats had the Chicoms paying for their elections.
So be it.
GO SARAH GO!
Sarah initiated a brilliant flanking manuever and counter attack against the left, the libs, the DNC, the MSM, and the RINOs that has them all in a frenzy wondering what her next move will be and how it will be perceived...and has them frothing at the mouth in their efforts to discredit her.
But, their efforts will come to naught as Sarah gets her book out, go on tour, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disaster and gain great political capital in the process. Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that and make an awesome, stunning run for the Presidency in 2012.
Palin recent tweet:
Rep.Lynn’s good HB3 Visa/Drivers Lic law:”If u dont have legal right to walk down AKn street, why should u have right to drive same street?”
Anti-illegal alien BTTT
So let me get this straight: The ethics implication is that she used donated money to fight bogus ethics charges?
She’ll be exonerated if it doesn’t get thrown out for lack of merits. Notice the intensity of the attacks each day she approaches leaving office. And besides everyone knows the AK leftists blogosphere have been whispering about a contrived “other shoe”. They wanted this to get picked up by the AP, then leak out into the other leftist media. In the short run it looks “serious”. In the long run this frivolous trash will go into the heap bin too.
In his report, attorney Thomas Daniel said his interpretation of the ethics act is consistent with common sense.
An ordinary citizen facing legal charges is not likely to be able to generate donations to a legal defense fund, he wrote. “In contrast, Governor Palin is able to generate donations because of the fact that she is a public official and a public figure. Were it not for the fact that she is governor and a national political figure, it is unlikely that many citizens would donate money to her legal defense fund.”
The ethics complaint was filed by Eagle River resident Kim Chatman shortly after the fund was created, alleging Palin was misusing her official position and accepting improper gifts.
Palin was given a copy of the investigator’s report a week ago, Chatman said Tuesday.
“It’s an absolute shame that she would continue to keep the Alaska Fund Trust Web site up and running,” Chatman told the AP.

...ever notice how when libs BREAK OUR LAWS in things like donations, no one cares or takes them to court or even discusses it?
What money is O using to pay his team of attorneys to shut down the multiple birth certificate law suits?
“An ordinary citizen facing legal charges is not likely to be able to generate donations to a legal defense fund, he wrote. “In contrast, Governor Palin is able to generate donations because of the fact that she is a public official and a public figure. Were it not for the fact that she is governor and a national political figure, it is unlikely that many citizens would donate money to her legal defense fund.”***
An ordinary citizen also doesn't face 20 unfounded ethics charges that cost them $500,000 to defend.
If the costs incurred by the accused in fighting these charges reverted to the false accuser upon dismissal, they would never be filed in the first place.
They want to throw everything including the kitchen sink at Sarah regardless of whether or not the charges are false and ultimately dismissed, because guilt or innocence isn’t the point. We know by now, with them, that “It’s not the nature of the evidence; it’s the seriousness of the charge.”
They want her utterly destroyed. No mercy for her or for her family who are either deemed guilty by association, or who are considered collateral damage.
The account of Haman and Mordecai in the Old Testament book of Esther often comes to mind when false or evil accusations are brought against those who are effectively standing for right. Haman’s evil came back upon him and he hanged on the gallows that he had built for Mordecai.
May the damage they are trying to do to Conservatives through Sarah Palin come back upon them.
Democrats: Palin family violates CO2 pollution standards.
