Video shows Alaska's Ex-governor desecrating the American flag on campaign trail
The Tea Party activist is said to be in violation of the US Flag code law when she signed the American flag which bans any desecration of Old Glory.
Subsection 8, part(G) of the code states: "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."
Palin was giving autographs to her fans, signing books and hats when she was handed a flag. She scribbles on it with her marker pen, waved the flag and then handed it back to the supporter.
However, defacing a flag is covered under the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which says defacing a flag is an act of protected speech.
Although not illegal, it is viewed as a sign of disrespect to do anything other than hold or wave an American flag.
However, unfazed, Palin is set to continue to enjoy her time in the spotlight with the airing of her new reality series which will show her life in Alaska.
In the eight part series which premieres on US television next month, the ex-governor screeches at the TV crew, "This is flippin' fun. I'd rather be doing this than be in some stuffy political office.

I'd rather be out here being free." The comment immediately led to speculation that she will move into the lucrative world of television and abandon any dreams of becoming Commander-in-Chief for now at least.
The show, entitled Sarah Palin's Alaska, will showcase the Republican politician and her family as they carry on with their day to day life away from the campaign trail.

In 2009, Palin published her first book Going Rogue, which became an international best seller. The release of her second book, America By Heart, is due in late November. Her daughter, Bristol is part of the show Dancing with the Stars, which airs in the US.
