The White House refuses to give out Obama’s birth Doctors name even though many charitable donations are being sought in the name of the one that birthed the First Black President of the USA.

Politicians denying charity? or something more here... The media refuses to investigate.

If they refund the money to us, I will just send Sarah a check to her house. I want HER to keep the money. This is all about ONE thing, Obama has to pass ObamaCare, this is a diversionary tactic, straight out of Alinsky, he knows if ObamaCare does NOT pass, his Presidency is done, because remember, he has control of the House and Senate, if it does not pass that means some Dems didn’t even vote for it. He will be considered a failure by the libs and he will be done. So he is pulling this crap so that he can slide right in and make this crap pass while everyone else is talking about this BS, he will get ObamaCare passed

I read a few of the comments, so far.

Republicans and conservatives better wake up. This has NOTHING to do with Sarah Palin personally, it’s all about ideology and the Democrats destroying a potential candidate who can beat them.

It is NEVER about issues or anything else, it is and always has been about money and power. The Democrats have it now and don’t want to lose it.

Remember, the vast middle group of voters have no clue or understanding of what is really going on. Defend Sarah, fine, but turn the tables on them as our focus. Of all the things zero and the Democrats are trying to do right now, this is a mere destraction, baiting everyone.

Recognize how Democrats turn everything into a personal attack. The end justifies the means as far as they are concerned so they will keep these things up no matter who the Republican is.

Looks like the hater is the Associated Press. Note well that all of this crap is being pushed by the Associated Press and the people who contribute to it. The Associated Press has slumped some from the professional news organization it once was.

Here’s a press release from Palin’s attorney on the matter, posted on Facebook:

“The resolution of the Trust Fund is not final. I have been working with the investigator regarding supplemental information. The matter is still pending. Whatever you have seen was released in violation of law. There has been no Board finding of an ethics violation and there is a detailed legal process to follow before there is a final resolution.”

Thomas Van Flein
Private Attorney for Sarah Palin

So she isn't supposed to benefit from contributions she got only because she is a public person but if it hadn't been for being a public person she wouldn't have to defend herself from this legal harassment. These people are truly evil. And then if she ever does run again for office they'll constantly accuse her of being "ethically challenged". A double whammy that had no substance whatever.

Another thread is up and ongoing re this.

The atty behind this, Thomas Daniel has also been an atty for Obama.

Soros funded, staffed by Democrats. Palin is the candidate who can beat Obama.

I’m reading the “report” right now. Among the “corrective” actions - the state should reimburse politicians to defend against ethics charges. Bwahahaha !! So, the taxpayers should pay Palin’s legal bills ! I’m sure they would love that !

Read part D toward the end

So basically Sarah wanted to do the ETHICAL thing and refuse to take money from taxpayers in order to pay for this BS and that is considered a bad thing LOL Ok, here’s an idea, Sarah should go to Andree MacLeud and Linda Biegal’s house with a big hat and say “I’m here for my cash, pay up”

Yes, totally ridiculous. Let the taxpayers pay for idiots who file frivolous lawsuits against the governor. Great recommendation.

I don’t know why she can’t counter sue for expenses like people can do in other frivolous lawsuits.

100,978th ethic complaint to be filed (and dismissed).

Whatever AP. Cnservatives are no longer paying attention to these, she’s not holding any office and everyone else is more concerned with Obama’s follies.

What’s the next attempt at distraction and destruction?

The Media who cried “Wolf” have rendered themselves impotent by hounding Palin for the last year, bringing charges which have all been dismissed. Nothing they say or print at this point can have any effect on my opinion of Palin or any other conservative. They only dig their own graves deeper with each attempt to bury Palin.

“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 wouldn’t be harassed like this. It’s because of her public figure status that she got into this jam in the first place.

What is she supposed to do? There’s no workable legal solution?
