Again, PA, you're being disingenuous. Wooten was investigated for 13 violations and was found to have either violated policy, broke the law or both on four of them. Specifically, he was guilty of;
• Wooten used a Taser on his 11 year old stepson. • He illegally shot a moose. • He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion. • He told others his father-in-law would "eat a fucking lead bullet" if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce. You smear Palin and her family for minor drug usage, mostly in the past, but never mention Obama's own usage of pot and coke (also in the past). Meanwhile, you completely ignore what Wooten was guilty of or that he was at the center of a messy divorce and both sides acted inappropriately, something not at all unusual for messy divorces. By now everyone understand that if this situation played out in the Obama family your 'editorializing' would be entirely different. How would you feel if your nephew was tasered by your brother-in-law who then says your father will eat a fucking lead bullet if he helps your sister get an attorney? Notice how Mike responds with "when did false accusations and slander become free speech ?". So if the Palin family says something it's a lie and slander, but when people say or write against Palin it's the truth and therefore free speech. And not once does he, or you, make an effort to validate any of this crap. On Sep 12, 3:47 pm, PoliticalAmazon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > BWA-HA-HA!
