Comments on: Troopergate Report Under Wraps http://washingtonindependent.com/11904/troopergate-report-under-wraps National News in Context Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:45:22 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: becky person http://washingtonindependent.com/11904/troopergate-report-under-wraps/comment-page-1#comment-37415 becky person Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:30:36 +0000 http://washingtonindependent.com/?p=11904#comment-37415 Probably for reasons of privacy and rightly so, there is an issue here that is not at the top of the news. That is the issue of a man who is said to have abused his family (he reportedly turned his tasor on his own son). These allegations should not be taken lightly as they are the kinds of things that do occur in an abusive situations. Other things that occur are the victims of the abuse are expected to stay silent, and they are vilified and discounted if they come forward with abuse reports. Another thing that happens is that the abuser makes themselves into the victim. So in this case, the trooper in question who was abusing his family (the sister of Gov. Sarah Palin) is now being painted to look like a victim. He is activley promoting this image and others are unknowingly 'buying into ' it. I am sure this will come out. Sarah Palin is too law abiding to have done anything she is said to have done without a genuine reason...protecting her sister's family and her parents from threats from an abusive person who used his status as a trooper to wield control and now to gain sympathy. Many cases of abuse where there are threats against people are carried out, so extended family members of Sarah's sister were justifiably concerned about this abusive person and his threats against family members. We have to trust that Ms. Palin has valid reasons for coming forward and also when she is being discreet about it...we do have to trust her.

George needed a rube like Barry to agitate the banks, sue BofA and others to force them to issue loans to losers, and create a credit bubble from hell. George Soros punctured it just like he has against the Bank of England and other unsustainable credit bubbles. Besides giving him many more billions taken from rubes like you, it also keeps the rubes confused and blaming the wrong party.<br><br>The more you refuse to figure out who the real culprit is, the more they'll keep kicking you in the rear and taking your wallet. I have no sympathy for people who go through life stubborn, blind and dumb. Jim, You lost 40% of your life's savings thanks to Obama, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and their minder, George Soros.

Something tells me you'll think its all-of-a-sudden totally rational then. Calling an attempt to legally prove you innocent a "hatchet-job" makes you look guilty as sin. What if it comes back clean?
