Kangaroo courts would be a feature of an Obama Presidency. Just one of many, many reasons to elect John McCain President.

Sadly, I think the ADN, NYT, and AP have correctly judged their readership.

And the others have correctly decided that these actions are in their own interest. They will be well rewarded down the road.

This is so absurd -- a stupid report that essentially reports nothing, all the while Obama's ties to terrorists, criminal slime, and seedy organizations gets a pass...what a world.

she abused her power because she legally exercised her power! Don't you get it? she exercised her powers! That is the true crime!

The really good news coming out of this looming recession - or near-depression - is that vast parts of the mainstream media will simply disappear...traditional television news organizations, major newspapers and magazines, both large, small and niche-oriented, will vanish as the advertising dollars are greatly reduced and/or re-directed to other platforms.

All the Credentialed Media are going ape about this worthless report, yet, they are all working hard to cover up Obama's links to ACORN, Ayers, Muslim terrorists, etc and so on.

Jonah Goldberg, as usual, has a couple of good questions about this:

And, those who are seriously upset about how this reflects on Palin, might ponder that this sort of ethical violation doesn't even move the ethics-o-meter needle in Obama's Chicago. And, they might explain to me why Bill and Hillary's firing of the White House travel office — orders of magnitude more egregious than what is alleged about Palin — was no big deal.

Indeed.

Double-standard, anyone?

The problem you have with MSM is not what they publish, the problem is that Americans choose to read it. What you don't like is the choices Americans make in choosing their news sources. What you do not like is that on any given day during prime time news hour only 10% of Americans choose the only right wing news source, Fox News.

Thanks for that completely irrelevant comment, John Ryan.

Why haven't WE AMERICANS started an impeachment against ALL JUDGES ; SENATORS , etc., in this country who are selling this country down the river. Or, should I say , GIVING this country away to illegal's , who are demanding rights that are bringing in from their turmoiled countries . BULL****. WE are allowing our Gov't to ram it up our *** . WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET

On top of that, Obama is a communist.

Thanks for that completely irrelevant comment, John Ryan.

That's our John Ryan... when he's not repeating Obama campaign talking points, he's completely irrelevant. And sometimes he's both at once.

Well now, let's see if I understand this: Sarah Palin fired Monegan because he refused to fire Trooper Wooten as she demanded, and she did this unlawfully and abused power in so doing. Hmm.

I've read then entire 260+ page investigative report and have discovered:

(1) The investigator/prosecutor conducting the inquiry would be fired by any competent law enforcement agency for conducting such an incompetent inquiry.

(2) There is no evidence that Palin pressured anyone to fire the trooper, quite the opposite, in fact.

(3) Palin didn't fire Monegan. She offered him another job and he decided to resign rather than accept it. Rather odd behavior for someone punishing Monegan for refusing to do her will, which she didn't do--either thing.

(4) Palin acted entirely within the law, and rather than abuse power, was remarkably restrained in dealing with a trooper who would have been fired years ago by most American law enforcement agencies for a multitude of crimes that would have put most Americans in jail.

(5) The investigator/prosecutor's opinion that Palin did anything wrong--even as he acknowledges that she didn't--is a wild supposition unsupported by the facts--such as they are--gathered by the investigator/prosecutor.

Mostly, in reading the entire document, I found myself repeatedly asking: "What does the testimony of this (any) witness have to do with anything related to this case, and why doesn't this investigator understand that?"

please get the article (w/video embedded) to anyone you know undecided and to those Dems you know who have any common sense

"A lifelong Democrat who has held political office and been a committeeman, Philip Berg, has brought suit over the real questions raised by the absence of a valid Obama birth certificate. His narrative of the various questions Obama has refused to answer is devastating. Graphics and sound are well-deployed to avoid tedium as factual data is conveyed in a way that allows viewers to absorb it. When he contrasts Obama's behavior when challenged (use perfectly valid legal technicalities to delay) with John McCain's full disclosure of all documentary evidence under a similar challenge (remember the flap over his birth in the Panama Canal Zone? -- who raised those questions, anyway?), there is no doubt in a viewer's mind that there is something seriously wrong here.

We are talking about the Presidency and this guy stonewalls?"

Yeah, I hate how those 6 Republicans voted unanimously to find Palin abused executive power. I hate how that shows that this is a Democrat witch-hunt. Shows just how much power the Democrat party will have under Barry O. Because all the Republicans will lose their cojones and submit to the Islamofascist tyranny of the Barry O Ayers Administration. The Barry O Ayers Administration that will ban all gun ownership on Day 1 and send the black helicopters and jack booted thugs out to take away the collection of firearms that God has instructed me to assemble for the coming end-times and force me to convert to Muslam and renounce my dear lord and savior. How come more people dont get this it is the most important thing ever to happen to america remember that osama said he would have covert operatives in america to steal our elections and we all thought he meant 2004 but now we remember that alkaeda thinks about things a long time and now it is barack hussein osama who is the fifth columnist kaeda agent and obsama wins and we lose goodbye american freedoms.

Yeah, I hate how those 6 Republicans voted unanimously to find Palin abused executive power.

I gave up reading your comment after that opening line, as it shows you obviously aren't paying attention, and therefore aren't relevant.

Nobody--not six Republicans, nor any Democrats--responded to any findngs. I quoted the section and even had it bolded, but apparently it still wasn't obvious enough for you to get this:

The Branchflower Report is a series of guess and insupportable conclusions drawn by exactly one guy, and it hasn't been approved or adopted or endorsed by so much as a single sub-committee of the Alaska Legislature, much less any kind of commission, court, jury, or other proper adjudicatory body.

Words mean things. Perhaps you should read them.

Hemlock forgot to mention SOROS who is often blamed for being the behind the scenes nemesis of all things Republican.

Yeah, I hate how those 6 Republicans voted unanimously to find Palin abused executive power.

Welcome back, Nunaim. Figured out the size of that garage door yet?

I have some questions:

How is S. Palin responsible for Todd's behavior?

How was S. Palin supposed to compel a change of his behavior?

The ultimate problem with the integrity (actually, the lack thereof) of this report is that there is no underlying crime or wrongdoing and never was, therefore, the investigator who produced the report spends hundreds and hundreds of pages of testimony chasing his tail. Normally, one investigates to discover if a crime has been committed, and/or to what degree a given person was involved. When one discovers that no crime has been committed, the investigation ends. This one did not. When one discovers that the target of the investigation was not involved (in a crime that never occurred!) the investigation ends. This one did not.

Under these circumstances, any conclusion is, to put it mildly, the sound of one hand clapping, or to paraphrase Shakespeare, sound and fury, signifying nothing. When the investigator actually admits just that in his findings, to what other conclusion can honest, reasonable people come?

"When the investigator actually admits just that in his findings, to what other conclusion can honest, reasonable people come?"

Since when are liberals reasonable?

Weird that it was a bipartisan report.
