And she is giving those away to those who donated to her campaign a gift. Whats wrong with that? She made millions off the book, you think a few g's makes a difference to her now?

she used campaign funds to buy her own book and keep thousands of $ in royalties.

that's shady. i think everyone can admit it. maybe $12k in unethical money is okay with some, i dunno. if Obama was using american contributions in this manner, I'd be bitching about that too. So would you

Stealing is stealing. She's a fvcking crook, just as Obama would be if he pulled some shady shit like this.

You can justify it because it's not a lot of $ to her. But for the middle class american who donated $500 to her PAC because he believes she is going to do the right thing, it's fucced up.

I see you excuse certain behaviors when "it's only" $12 grand.

The issue is she still receives royalties from this, so a 10% cut of that goes to her wallet. It's like money laundering in a way. Spending Sarah PAC funds, laundering it through her book and taking a cut of the 'clean' money at the end.

Hey, obama and hilary are CROOKS for that stim repayment.

And yes, palin is a CROOK for taking donor dollars to re-buy her own book and pocket the royalties.

Using Obama to defend Palin is weak. They both showed shitty judgment for a dollar.

Yet you defend Obama daily by using a Bush comparison. Incredible.

Is Hillary just as guilty?
________________________ ________________________ ___

Newsmax reported in early 2004 about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party giving away copies of Living History to donors. There was no controversy raised by the media back then like they are trying to do with Palin:

The Democratic National Committee is "giving away" copies of Sen. Hillary Clinton's book "Living History" to any contributor who ponies up $29.95 per month till Election Day - a move that raises questions about whether the party has made bulk purchases of Clinton's book.

SNIP

"As a Member of Presidential Partners," DNC chief Terry McAuliffe promises in the Web site's message, "you will receive: A copy of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s book, Living History. The first 500 books will be personally signed by Senator Clinton!"

SNIP

The DNC's Hillary book offer coincides with the senator's own attempt to boost book sales through her political action committee, HILLPAC.

On HILLPAC's Web site, "FriendsofHillary.com," potential donors are offered "your own personalized copy of this historic book" in exchange for "making a contribution to Friends of Hillary."

SNIP

HILLPAC says the senator does not collect royalties on any books sold through FriendsofHillary.

The media (ABC News, National Journal, Politics Daily, Seattle Post Intelligencer, NY Daily News, MSNBC, Media Bistro, and Salon) are going potty over Sarah Palin using her book as an incentive for donations to her PAC. A search of news sites shows that as of this writing none of the outlets attacking Palin are reporting she is only following in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton.

240 - let me ask you something, if she wanted to give the book to the donors, how do you propose she would have paid for it?

I propose she takes some of those "millions" that she made in royalties or FOX appearances, and paid for it with that.

I don't propose she take $5 from joe Blow and buy the book for Joe Millionaire who sent her $2300 - then pocket the profits.

It's shady dude.

I dont see how she stole anything.

The donations given were not tax deducticle to the contributor and the books were used to reward donors. Would you have prefered she buy Dreams of My Fathers and send them that POS book?
