Think About the Vets! Palin on Ethics Complaints

Sarah Palin wants you to think about the vets when you file ethics complaints against her. On July 20th, Sarah Palin received her 19th ethics complaint.  Her Twitter account lit up with a rambling steam of conscious which she tried to mold into the argument that if you file an ethics complaint, then you don’t support the troops. Here is a direct copy/paste of her twitter thread (warning, it’ll hurt your brain to parse it into meaningful chunks of information):

“In violation of Ethics Act more allegations were filed today by serial complainer;gave to press be4 we could respond;ridiculous, wasteful…it costs political critics NOTHING to file/play their wasteful game;They should debate policy in political arena,not hide w/process abuse…BUT if there was a suit to end public waste of time/funds to constantly address false allegations I could see perhaps a veteran filing it…someone who’s put their life on the line protecting even opponents’ right to speak & protest, was willing to die for freedom of press but knows it’s shameful 4 valuable time& public resources to be diverted frm needed causes to deal w/this abuse of govt accountability system…Hopefully these political critics filing this stuff (& some in press perpetuating it) appreciate the freedom to do so, protected by our vets”

Here’s the summation: Ethics complaints are wasteful. That’s because vets die for the freedom of press. Because of that, we shouldn’t make ethics complaints, unless the complaint is filed against the people who are filing complaints about her…then it’s okay (and also, Vets should do it).
