#3 could be proven: There is no doubt Sarah Palin has suffered a loss of personal safety due to the many death threats triggered by the libelous media campaign against her. And she will be stuck paying for additional security for both herself and her children in the near term and for many years to come
Surely the demonstrable monetary loss and loss of personal safety would satisfy a court in a libel case.
Never looked at it from that angle. I am sure Gov. Palin could provide a nice itemized list of how much she has to pay out of her own pocket for security. The same is probably true for Rush, Glenn Beck, and other conservatives who are still being falsely accused of killing people.
