Posted by Enoxo at HA. By R. A. Mansour The following statement was issued by Gov. Palin's legal counsel, Thomas Van Flein: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 4, 2009 On July 3rd, 2009, Governor Sarah Palin announced her intent to resign her gubernatorial duties and transfer the powers of Governor to Lt. Governor Sean Parnell. Almost immediately afterwards, several unscrupulous people have asserted false and defamatory allegations that the “real” reasons for Governor Palin’s resignation stem from an alleged criminal investigation pertaining to the construction of the Wasilla Sports Complex. This canard was first floated by Democrat operatives in September 2008 during the national campaign and followed up by sympathetic Democratic writers.1. It was easily rebutted then as one of many fabrications about Sarah Palin. Just as power abhors a vacuum, modern journalism apparently abhors any type of due diligence and fact checking before scurrilous allegations are repeated as fact. ....... This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law. The Alaska Constitution protects the right of free speech, while simultaneously holding those “responsible for the abuse of that right.” Alaska Constitution Art. I, Sec. 5. http://ltgov.state.ak.us/constitution.php?section=1. These falsehoods abuse the right to free speech; continuing to publish these falsehoods of criminal activity is reckless, done without any regard for the truth, and is actionable. Thomas Van Flein, for Governor Sarah Palin http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2009/07/statement-from-gov-palins-legal-counsel.htmlRead the rest. Sounds like the gloves are coming off!! Tom |

Not to be a spoiler, but here's the ending: To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as “fact” that Governor Palin resigned because she is “under federal investigation” for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation. This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law. The Alaska Constitution protects the right of free speech, while simultaneously holding those “responsible for the abuse of that right.” Alaska Constitution Art. I, Sec. 5. http://ltgov.state.ak.us/constitution.php?section=1. These falsehoods abuse the right to free speech; continuing to publish these falsehoods of criminal activity is reckless, done without any regard for the truth, and is actionable. As Glenn Beck would say, "Ohhhh Yeeeahhh." |

I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.

That's the first way to gut the attacks. As a private citizen she can sue. She'll need money to do it, but the attackers will will have to watch their step. There is a difference between political opinion and slander

 YES, damnit, YES!!! I was starting to feel like I'd wandered into some bizarre alternate reality because where I come from, if somebody starts attacking children like that, their momma would have her foot up their ass so far that her podiatrist would have to help remove it. IF the offender was lucky, that is, and momma took care of the problem before daddy got home. The nasty smirks of that asshole David Letterman was almost more than I could bear, and I'm not the momma of that child. He better be very afraid, and so should his sponsors.
