I guess that's hard for you and others here to understand.

Oh...speaking of Sarah, I suppose she and her lawyer have never heard of
New York Times v. Sullivan. Elected public officials, basically, cannot
use the courts effectively to attempt to chill criticism or reportage
about how they handle their jobs.


You really need a new angle. There's a difference between legality and
common decency.
Those of the extreme left persuasion are walking away from the
difference.

Uh...the point here is that Sarah and her legal beagle last saturday
threatened a reporter specifically with a lawsuit and other news
organizations generally with lawsuits if they reported there were "rumors"
floating around about her and potential legal problems.

That's the "legality" here.

Palin doesn't even have a stump to stand on in attempting to chill such
reportage. Perhaps if she calmed down some, and stopped playing "poor,
poor pitiful me" and the perpetual victim, she wouldn't be so obviously
earning the reputation as a nutcase she now has.

You know, if the internet had been around in the days of Joe McCarthy, he
would have lasted about a week. It's important to stomp political
demogogues into the ground, over and over and over and over, until they
show no possibilities of being revived for future political games. Palin
is a demogogue.



Yada, yada, yada.

You have fun. I have to go put the charger on the VW bus, then go sell some
guitars.
