hope palins sue mcginnis.
*******
I like Palin. I also believe that Obama is a fraud and a liar when it comes to telling us about his past and that he will lose come election day Nov. 2012.
But I believe that the book did severe damage to Palin's hope to run for President, because the ugly revelations in the book will help persuade Palin that she CANNOT run for President if she hopes to protect her family from savage criticism and ridicule.
1.Whatever ugly things people say about the book and the author, McGinnis, Palin will never sue the author for defamation, because at the trial, the author will parade a list of witnesses who will back up much of the terrible things the author wrote in his book about Palin and her family.
2. One of the damaging details in the book is the claim that Palin had an affair with a professional basketball player. If Palin ever went to court and the basketball player testified that he did indeed have a one night stand with Palin and Palin was called to testify about the affair, Palin's dream of running for President would be over.
3. So, again, sad to say, I don't believe that Palin would ever dare sue the author in court for defamation, because she knows that a lot of details in the book are true, and such a trial would do terrible damage to her family.
4. In addition, if Palin took the author to court and lost, Palin knows that such a loss would do terrible damage to her reputation and credibility, and she knows that if she loses her credibility , she loses any chance to be elected President.
5. The author: He wrote a great book "Fatal Vision". He did lose a lawsuit to Jeffrey MacDonald, but Jeffrey MacDonald had trouble disapproving many of the details in the book, especially when MacDonald's own father-in-law provided the author with many of the details in the book and when MacDonald admitted that he allowed the author free access to follow him and his defense team around during the trial, a trial that showed that MacDonald did indeed murder his wife and two beautiful young girls.
6. So, as much as I like Palin, I believe that she won't run for President or sue the author for defamation, because she would not want to have her family members testify in court, which would cause terrible damage emotionally to those family members, especially after they were cross-examined by the author's lawyers.
7. Also, as I see it, Palin has an additional problem: If she goes on talk shows and tells the world that the book is full of lies, then she is opening the door for the author to sue Palin for slander, and Palin will have to detail in court the lies that she claims are in the book.
8. In addition, if Palin remains silent and does not make any comments on the book, people could take her silence to mean that the book is mostly true.
9. In other words, Palin is damned if she comments on the book and damned if she remains silent, in my opinion.
10. So I don't envy Palin for whichever decision she makes: Does she publicly condemn the book and force the author to sue her in court for slander, or does she remain silent in order to protect her family from having to testify in court?
What the H*ll? Palin already said on camera that nothing the media or smears by others will ever stop her if she ever decided to run! She said that they (family) already have been tested and are use to the arrowsAnd potshots at them. In fact most of these false allegations has been out there since 2008 - the alleged affairs, drug use, divorce, trig truthers....etc so it’s nothing new to them.
What has anybody said that has not been pretty much already said against Palin before? And you see that she’s still standing and moving forward.
I guess you missed Todd’s statement calling the author on his “disgusting lies”. Good grief. I talked to people at work- they think Mcguiness is creepy and don’t think Palin’s supposed former sex life is anybody’s business. Even if Rice comes out claiming it is true- that don’t make it so.The idiot author contridicts his own statements right in the book.
“One of the damaging details in the book is the claim that Palin had an affair with a professional basketball player.”
If the incident did occur, she was a single woman at the time. If people knew this, instead of assuming she cheated on her husband, maybe there would be less panties in wads.
