The harassment of Sarah Palin
NeighborNewspapers.com ^ | July 7, 2010 | Randy Evans

Posted on 07/07/2010 11:40:25 AM PDT by Virginia Ridgerunner

It took one year, two independent counsels, and tens of thousands of Alaska taxpayer dollars to conclude that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did nothing wrong in connection with a legal defense fund created to pay legal fees resulting from allegations related to her service as governor. Indeed, the story of the endless harassment of Sarah Palin is incredible.

There is nothing new about this particular piece, which lays out everything we already know about Palin's ordeal in Alaska.

However, what is interesting is WHO wrote it:

Randy Evans is an Atlanta attorney with McKenna Long & Aldrige LLP. He is the former General Counsel of the Georgia Republican Party and remains active in the party on both the state and national level. He can be reached at www.mckennalong.com or McKenna Long & Aldrige LLP, Suite 5300, 303 Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA 30308.

We all knew this, but I’m sure they’ll try to find something else to indulge their hatred for her.

The tactics used on Tom Delay and Sarah Palin should be actionable. It seriously bothers me that people can get away with lofting these types of politically motivated charges.

Doesn’t hurt to keep people aware.

She did not cut and run as the disturbed leftist tried to put on her head.
Alaska taxpayer dollars was why she left. Thinking of Alaska FIRST.

Attractive, Conservative, Popular, Female over target and accurately dropping bombs onto her political targets.

Major threats should expect major flak.

Conversely, major flak is reserved for major threats!

Randy Evans for Steele’s replacement, if one is needed.

In many countries, frivolous, and politically motivated suits have the costs paid by the loser.

The current evil regime is dripping with hate (Democrats) based on fear. The state-controlled main stream media is on its way out owing to decreasing numbers of consumers tired of the same old stuff -- name-calling, unsupported assertions, and predictable spin. IMO, eventually the MSM will be taken over and subsidized by the regime's propaganda machine, so they are not going away.

I guess it depends on the leftist judge that would be deciding what is frivolous and politically motivated or not.

Thanks for posting this. Randy Evans is a very respected attorney for both the state and national GOP and and was one of several attorneys who assisted Meghan Stapleton in setting up the Legal Defense Fund.

I was sure he was not too happy about what transpired and I'm glad he weighed in.

So if she's elected president then will the Democrats be able to force her to resign by filing law suits and launching special investigations into her and her administration, and running up a legal bill defending her?

They did the same thing to Tom Delay, Newt, Dick Cheney, Ken Starr and every Republican or conservative who makes them look like the losers they are. Gender has nothing to do with it.

Trumped up criminal charges, political disgrace and financial ruin are SOP for the Left. Its how the Communists win.

Sarah Palin is everything the left hates. She is white, upper middle class, successful, beautiful and smart. She is conservative, self-made, and did I say smart? She is a good campaigner, relates to the people, communicates well, and she doesn’t need a teleprompter to tell her what she should think. She is from the people, not Ivy League, not indoctrinated with all the BS that qualifies as intellectual in this convoluted world. She has moral and ethical standards that surpass anything a liberal could hope to have. Sarah is an American.

Of course not. The reason this strategy worked so well in Alaska was because Alaska law permitted these types of nuisance lawsuits to be prosecuted.

This is the left’s way of trying to destroy good people. In the soviet union they were “purged.” Here, little lemming leftists illegally look up information on normal people and give it to the press, which publishes it as if it were true.
