Sarah Palin comes out "guns ablazing" in defense of Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Well you had to know that once Perry was indicted that Palin was going to have to come charging to his defense. And apparently she was able to convince Fox to let her leave the purgatory of her Facebook page and her "channel" to have it published somewhere that people might actually see it.

This ridiculous politically motivated “indictment” of Governor Rick Perry stems from the ugly thug tactics of the "politics of personal destruction" that the left is known for. They draw blood and leave scars on conservatives who threaten their political power, hoping the threat retreats and hoping his or her base of support remains silent in fear of becoming collateral damage. 

Thankfully, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and those of us with scars to prove it can help others learn from things like this Texas-sized political drama.

Palin goes on to trash Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, while of course defending Perry's attempts to force her out of her job and punish those working for her after she decided to stay.

But hey, enough about Perry, let's get to what Palin really wants to talk about.

Herself.

I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason, so in hindsight I can value my own experience as a conservative governor dealing with leftwing activists who would stop at nothing to take out a successful Republican. 

I was riddled with countless frivolous ethics complaints and lawsuits after being nominated as the GOP vice presidential candidate, all in an attempt to derail my governorship and personally bankrupt my family. 

One by one these complaints were tossed out on the basis of their frivolity,  (So easy to do when the people determining the outcome were all appointed by the Republican Governor that preceded her.) but the activists got what they wanted via the complicit liberal media's consistent headline: “Palin Charged With Ethic Complaints!” 

It didn’t matter that the “complaint” was for something as absurd as wearing an old snow machine jacket with my husband's logo on it, or answering reporters' questions inside my state office, or giving a pro bono speech for a pro-life charity; again in hindsight the ridiculousness of the constant charges -- that cost millions to defend and halted all progress in my administration -- would seem hilarious if they'd not been so unfair to the public. 

The media breathlessly reported on every one of the liberal's complaints with bold font, front page coverage. But when each one was overturned, most times we never even saw one mention about our vindication.

Do you get it yet? Poor Sarah Palin was harassed by baseless ethics complaints, even though she was completely innocent of all wrongdoing, as determined by the incredibly partisan personnel board that looked into them.

You know except in reality where she was actually quite guilty of a number of things, many of which never reached the personnel board, or the courts. Much to my frustration.

But let's get back to the reason that Palin was given this forum shall we? 

I have no doubt that Rick Perry will weather this storm because he's better prepared for this kind of B.S. than we were up here in Texas's big sister state, when the politics of personal destruction ramped up to unimaginable levels. 

Rick won't have to worry about the Republican establishment piling on, either. He's more ingratiated with the political machine than someone considered still an unknown who'd go rogue on GOP kingmakers when they acted unethically, so he's fortunate to only face a firing squad from one side.

Wait, was that last part about Rick Perry? That did not seem to be about Rick Perry.

Time to sum up:

Don’t fall for those "Another Corrupt Conservative Governor; This Time in Texas!" screaming headlines. It's true that everything's big in Texas, including this pile of B.S. thrown at their governor that may be bigger than usual. 

An indictment is serious business, and if found to be baseless it gives a big black eye to every watchdog group and every D.A.'s decision, so let's expose these thug tactics (Seriously did they use the term "thug tactics" before Barack Obama became our President?) for what they are: the corrupt power plays of an embarrassingly failed Democratic Party lacking integrity and honor. 

Rick Perry and conscientious citizens will expose this on a national level in coming days, mark my words, because you don't mess with Texas nor do you poke the rest of us independent Americans fed up with hell rousers turning the bad guy into the hero while demonizing the good.

What's a "hell rouser?" Did she mean "hell raisers?"

Well look Palin finally got a ghostwritten article on another media outlet besides Facebook or her vanity blog site. And she only made half of it about her.

Good for her, and now instead of it getting completely ignored by the media it will be seen, and of course picked apart, by the media, which will allow Palin to once again play the victim.

A win/win in her book.
