Mrs. P and her Goon Squad are now turning their wrath upon a blogger who posted the alleged rumor that she’s planning to get a divorce. Here’s what her lawyer sent to the author of ImmoralMinority: (click for full size)
Notice that the lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, threatens to serve the blogger with a summons at the kindergarten where he works.
What a fucking baby this lawyer is! Is there nothing too low for these cretins?!? Now the pro-Palin blogs are going nuts with glee over “outing” this dedicated blogger (who calls himself Gryphen) as though being a kindergarten teacher is some kind of embarrassing crime. Some fucker at a blog called Texas for Sarah Palin is gloating about this letter and calls Gryphen a “beast,” noting that “we wouldn’t want such a creature shaping the minds of our precious offspring!”
Poor Gryphen. These stupid fuckers are trying to bully him into apologizing for starting a rumor on the internet. Why don’t they remember that Mrs. Palin JUST SAID in her resignation speech that our troops are fighting in Iraq to PROTECT OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
Obviously, there is no way that Gryphen could be found guilty of slander, but with enough effort these cunts can mess up his life and maybe even get him fired. I want to salute this man for teaching kindergarten and still having the energy to fight the scourge of evil and ignorance that is Sarah Palin.
Tell this cunt here that you support Gryphen’s freedom of speech. Tell Gryphen that you’ve got his back.
I insist on my right to call that stupid bitch anything I want, and Mr. Van Flein can kiss my ass. In fact, so can Todd, when the divorce is final!
I disagree!
I’m all for insulting *politicians* but I’m all against insulting their *families* (assuming they’re not political themselves). There is a peculiar, and pernicious, notion amongst many bloggers that somehow they are excused from the laws of libel and slander. They are not and if they transgress they should be pursued with vigor.
I say that not because I am some sort of ‘goody-two-shoes’ but because political discourse, which is an important part of a civic society, is dragged into the gutter if that sort of thing is permitted and encouraged. The MSM and bloggers have pursued a vitriolic, filthy and *cowardly* campaign against Mrs Palin’s family. Possibly it is that which has driven her from politics. No-one should have to put up with that, and apart from common decency, how many good people will forego public service when they know that any attempt to stand for office will open their spouses and children to cruel vilification?
By all means go for her, within the laws of libel and slander, but leave the family out of it!
oh SHUT UP David Duff!
It’s Sarah Palin and her lawyer that your outrage should be directed at. That letter was insane. Not insane like a pair of cream Givenchy wedges, insane as in psychotic.
She HIRES A LAWYER to “go after” bloggers who tell fibs about her?!! What a maverick! She has ambitions to be the next president, and THIS is what she spends her time and resources on? Sending childish and nasty counter-threats…?
It’s extremely undignified, to say the least. I shudder at the thought that so many Americans actually think that a person of this sort should be given real power. It’s like trusting a five year old with a gun.
Thankfully SP continues to fuck up her long term strategy with one bonkers move after another.
Well said Annemarie. The what was said is irrelevant the actions are bizarre OTT and downright disgusting.
Come on David the Queen has had to put up with more and she just takes the corgis for a walk. There is dignity in duty and this dreadful behaviour only fuels those who think Palin is a moron. She has no one but herself to blame. Turning the other cheek is a daily task not just when you fancy.
PS Sister Wolf – I did as you asked, posted on both.
OMGGMAFB David Duff! Let’s review the facts and find who threw their kids under the bus many times over. Sarah Palin’s family would have been much less of a target had she not made them the bull’s eye! That woman is so narcissistic that she cannot turn away from the mirror long enough to truly protect her family. She brings her 16 year old’s pregnancy into the frey, then holds her up to be the “voice of abstinence” only to complain when bloggers and others then talk about the events. She should turn to actually doing some parenting, be quiet, and all would be well.
Anybody who had a hand in spreading this divorce rumor is a tool- and should be ashamed of themselves. Talk about desperate- hard watching the Dear Leader crash-n-burn, I guess.
Palin’s resignation obviously puts yet more pressure on Obama to finally get some results, as the soaring rhetoric isn’t hypnotizing the plebes like it used to. There’s another viable alternative waiting in the wings now… just as we hear the first stirrings of Obamania’s death-rattle.
Alaska was a pretty corrupt system until she stepped in. Her reforms took on entrenched politicians (inc. Republicans), a mafioso-style union boss, and Big Oil.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if Obama had been principled and brave enough to confront the corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine? Or shady political operators like Tony Rezko? Racist preachers? Instead of doing business with every last one of them?
IMO Palin could trounce him in 2012, when Americans would vote for the Gipper-in-Heels in droves- they’ll surely being looking for such an antidote to the Bolshevik con-artist who’s taken a wrecking-ball to this society.
Small wonder then that the far-left moonbats -along with Team Obama’s David Plouffe’s internet squad- are out to destroy her.
Go get em ‘Cuda- there’s a lot of us behind you.

Looking at many Republicans’ records with their own “traditional marriages” it appears that the ones who blow the most hot air about preserving the sanctity of this institution are also the ones with the most divorces and affairs. Thus, using the logic that Mrs. P has been such a vocal supporter of traditional marriage, it only makes sense that the “rumor” is truer than she, her lawyer, and her rabid supporters care to admit. Although, I don’t see Todd agreeing to the divorce unless he was going to be receiving a healthy monthly alimony payment; he doesn’t seem to have a job or a career.
I have an idea: Let’s burn the Gryphen at the stake. Why not go back a few centuries to much more enlightened times? At least let’s make sure he looses his job. Who needs freedom of speech anyhow? People: War is Peace! Censorship is Freedom. Get on the boat here, we’re headed down the river and Palin and her followers want to get us there faster.
Erosion of rights don’t happen over night, they happen slowly, insidiously, sometimes starting with a letter from a lawyer.
PS. Bravo Annemarie!
PPS.I couldn’t bear reading the ridiculous comments on the American Spectator by Palin supporters. I now feel like I need anther shower.
I’m blaming my typos on my new keyboard. The keys stick and are clunky and I’m not used to its idiosyncrasies. (Does that pass for an excuse?)
Sarah Palin should spend her time on more productive endeavors like trying to prove that Obama was not born in the U.S., or that he’s linked to terrorists, or that he personally killed a baby that survived an abortion.
Right-wing crackpots (see above posting) have plenty to be ashamed of in terms of rumor mongering.
I hope that filthy twat keeps squandering her ill-gotten money on frivolous lawsuits.
HelOnWheels?
Relief’s in the mail for those sanctimonious Republicans.

Too bad this guy didn’t wait for the mail to run.

I especially enjoyed reading one of his fellow legislators writing on his blog: “just more proof, Republicans are clearly irresistible to females.”
David – one note on American atttacks on family members, I’m old enough to recall Amy Carter and more recently, Chelsea Clinton (can’t off the op of my head recall Harry Truman’s daughter’s name) all getting the sorts of stuff you and Reaganut are whining about now.
When that shoe on the other foot begins to hurt it’s best to place the foot back where it is accustomed to being – but brush your teeth first.
And I’m admitting my typos were caused by the gummed up keys on the beer I spilled last night.
David – Well, of course you disagree! But Mrs. Palin has of her own volition dragged her children into the line of fire by using them as political props. From the very beginning, she has used her children to establish certain myths about herself (family values, working mother, bla bla bla.)
I would have been thrilled to get the chance to judge her apart from her family, but she never gave us the chance! She is a stupid good-looking woman whose monumental ambition is the only thing that sets her apart from other former small town beauty queens.
annemarie – I love it when you’re mad!
Make Do -Excellent points!!!!
OMBGMAB – Exactly.
Reaganite – You are delusional! Very entertaining though.
HelOnWHeels -It certainly touched a nerve with her, didn’t it??
Deni – I know, reading the comments was like being at a Klan rally!
Mark – Filthy or rancid? Or both?!
JK -Thanks for reminding us about Amy, Chelsea, etc. It helps to recall that Mrs. P’s litter aren’t the first to get picked on.
Sister? Were you like me when you read this?
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/national_enquirer_world_exclusive_sarah_palins_secret_lover_revealed/celebrity/65481
Say it ain’t so Sarah !!!
All these timezones. I wish the Earth was flat. Apparently Sarah’s lawyer made a baseball pitcher’s error.
(Or realized he was about to make one.)
http://alaskareport.com/news39/x71284_flien.htm
JK – Ooooh, I like that latest post…4 threats! Now what will Mrs. P do?!?!?
I know you loved “Pulp Fiction.”
http://alaskareport.com/news39/x71286_affairs_de_palin.htm
“Mrs. Palin has of her own volition dragged her children into the line of fire by using them as political props.”
So is it OK for me to make vile and false innuendos concerning the Obama children?
“So is it OK for me to make vile and false innuendos concerning the Obama children?”
Listen, Duff. You’re full of shit. The right-wing bloggers are already doing that. You should read what they’ve been saying about Malia. It’s disgusting. The comments that were being made about her when she wore a peace sign shirt in Europe are so vile; it’s like reading the posts in a pedophile chat-room. And I’m not disgusted because it’s the Obama children. I’m disgusted because these sickos are objectifying and sexualizing a little girl and saying other horrible things about her that have nothing to do with facts.
Now, why don’t you show me where such disgusting things have been said about the Palin children? Things that SW has said are based on truth and the facts that we’ve been given. They are not disgusting or vile and they’re not attacks: Bristol got pregnant at 17 which is just stupid and shows you that abstinence-only sex ed is a failure, Track very likely had/has a drug problem and that’s why they shipped him off to Iraq, and there are many good reasons to believe that Trig did not come from Mrs. P’s own womb. Furthermore, if Mrs. Palin is so bothered by these “accusations and lies” why doesn’t she provide proof that they’re not real? She’s the one that keeps saying that everybody else needs a thicker skin. She should take her own advice.
Shit…I have to go to a zoo board meeting…I’ll be back. Don’t have enough time to read all of this and I’m thinking it’s gonna be interesting. I want to see a larger picture of that cool caftan thingy your wearing! Right now I’m focusing on fashion…I’ll be back for the politics!
PS – JK, I <3 you. Will you marry me? Well, unless you’re a she, because they won’t let us marry.
And thank you for the all the great links & mentioning Amy & Chelsea. Horrible, cruel comments were made about their appearance, nothing else. They were intelligent, nice, well-mannered girls. Whereas Bristol is an attractive girl who’s not smart enough not to get pregnant at 16. I think it’s so much worse to criticize young girls’ appearance – something they can’t control – (Chelsea & Amy), especially when they are in that awkward stage, than to criticize their very obvious lack of intelligence (Bristol).
‘HonW’, allow me to take your points in order.
1: “Listen, Duff. You’re full of shit.”
Er, no I’m not, any more than you are. What we have is a difference of opinion. I will, indeed, I am, considering yours whilst remaining polite.
2: “The right-wing bloggers are already doing that [villifying Obama’s children].
My direct question to you is this; is it wicked because:
a) they are *Obama’s* children? or
b) because they are children?
If it is the first then you have a problem with logic; if it is the second then you have another problem with logic given your second paragraph.
3: “Things that SW has said are based on truth and the facts that we’ve been given.”
Not according to ‘Sis, herself: “I insist on my right to call that stupid bitch anything I want”. Er, truth and fact appear not to be a factor with our delicious hostess!
4: “Bristol got pregnant at 17 which is just stupid”
And you would, no doubt, call yourself a liberal! More logic problems, I feel.
5: “Track very likely had/has a drug problem and that’s why they shipped him off to Iraq”
Just a teensy-weensy bit of proof would help . . . ! And I pass over your notion that a mother and father would “ship” their son to a war zone for such a reason and I note that the army which tests for these things has raised no complaint.
6: “there are many good reasons to believe that Trig did not come from Mrs. P’s own womb.”
Again, and sorry to be boring, but “Just a teensy-weensy bit of proof would help . . . !
7: “if Mrs. Palin is so bothered by these “accusations and lies” why doesn’t she provide proof that they’re not real?”
Well, according to our hostess she has reached for lawyers and is, therefore, ready to have the matter examined in open court.
………………………………………………….
In my first comment I suggested that this sort of hysterical hatred permeates political discourse like acid and it is possessed of an equal opportunites destructiveness that will in the end consume everyone. By coincidence I am presently reading the history of the love/hate relationship between Lloyd George and Churchill, two Titans of the 20th century. Everyone suspected that Lloyd George was having an affair with his secretary, public knowledge of which in Edwardian times would have destroyed him. Thus, would the democracies have been robbed of a superb war leader at a time of crisis. So I say again, let politicians have their private peccadilloes, leave their families out of it, and just concentrate your fire on their politics, be it red or blue.
HelOnWheels?
I am of the proper “persuasion” (in all respects) to be absolutely thrilled at the prospect of what I’m certain would be bliss. Yes. I will marry you unless you live anywhere near any Navy bases. I’ve developed an allergy to “shade gray” especially the ending, “and underway.”
But. I don’t wanna cause any rifts here because at an earlier time I may’ve said something sorta similar to SW. (Turned out her marital status didn’t neatly reflect my own – no similar problems where you are concerned?)
As to the links? Welcome.
I think perhaps we “might” be seeing where a quitter might wind up. As if moose rifles weren’t already intimidating enough.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32218342?gt1=43001
HelOnWheels – Thank god I haven’t read any of that shit about Malia.
Jill – Hurry up.
David – Come on, you don’t really believe Mrs. P was “driven” from office by people saying mean things about her?!?!?!? She has said openly that politicians have to be tough (implying that Hilary wasn’t.)
Why can’t liberals think it’s stupid to get pregnant when you’re 17 and unmarried? Where is the conflict?
As for Track, I have read everything available, and I know that he had to finish high school out of state after a charge of vandalism was made against two of his pals and one other unidentified teenager. He was on record as wanting a career as a professional hockey player, but SUDDENLY enlisted in the army. I don’t have proof in the form of a smoking gun, but let’s be serious. Mrs. P’s teenagers were out of control despite her good Christian family values. Willow will be next, wait and see.
Mrs. Palin’s lawyer has issued, at last count, four threats to bloggers but has failed to act upon those threats. Clearly, he is just doing what that moron/bully tells him to do.
The sad truth is that the Palin family is exactly what they seem: Ignorant small town opportunists who momentarily attained some power and then abused it.
JK and HelonWheels – I am an ordained minister (duh) so I’m here if you need me.
Well HelOnWheels?
No bases in the neighborhood? It would appear we’ve got Reverend Wolf’s … uh, blessing. (But I know bein’ newly married you’ll likely want me to change screensavers – even though I consider the current one “Holy.”)
David Duff – I’m sorry for writing that you’re full of shit. That was not a good way to respond and be respectful of the others’ opinions. I really don’t have the time to address all of your points, especially not with specific evidence. But I will respond to one of your statements. Yes, I am a liberal. I should be tolerant and respect the choices people make, regardless of how misguided those choices seem to me. However, I will not respect hypocrisy or stupidity or willful ignorance. Yes, Bristol Palin is and idiot to have gotten pregnant at 17. It doesn’t matter that she isn’t married and pregnant. What matters is that she had sex without thinking about the consequences or taking responsibility for her actions. She brought a child in to this world without being able to support or raise it on her own. How’s that from the child of a woman who doesn’t shut up about personal responsibility?? What does matter is that Bristol and her family preach abstinence only sex-ed but, obviously, she didn’t practice it. They then went on to say that Bristol made a choice to keep her baby all the while trying to take away the ability of other women to make any type of choice about their reproductive health. Finally, these ignorant, vindictive hypocrites trotted Bristol out as the voice of teen abstinence. Give me a break. So, what applies to the rest of the United States doesn’t apply to the Palin’s? Bunch of hypocritical, power-grubbing assholes, the lot of them.
JK – That’s all we needed, Revered Wolf’s blessing and offer of her services. We’re set! Whatever you have going on with your computer is fine with me. Never mess with a man’s…uhm…”screensavers” or weapons is what my father taught me, and it is advice that has served me well.
‘HoW’, you write:
“What matters is that she had sex without thinking about the consequences or taking responsibility for her actions.”
Speaking personally I would guess that is how virtually every teenager in the world has sex – I certainly did. Quite a lot of grown-ups continue in that mode!
You continue:
“or taking responsibility for her actions. She brought a child in to this world without being able to support or raise it on her own.”
Well, as for the responsibility, at least she didn’t kill it! I have a personal interest in this because I was born to a single woman in the days when killing a fetus was not easy – thank the ‘Intelligent Designer’, otherwise I might not have been here to make a nuisance of myself. Actually, I think my mother would have had me whatever the circs for rather old-fashioned notions to do with *not* wishing to kill people – we were fighting a war at the time against people who raised the business of killing other people to an industrial level. Now we’re doing it again against the unborn so I suppose they won in the end!
Returning to the Palin family, part of the reason Bristol (silly name!) was able to have her child was precisely because she had a loving family around her, and they stood by her, in other words they took on their responsibility, too.
As for their failure to live lives without sin, show me anyone who claims to be without sin and I’ll show you a liar! There is nothing wrong in having ideals even if you are human enough to fail to abide by them. Look at your president who constantly preaches against racism, a great ideal, but is obviously a black racist!
Duffster, This is it. I’m done arguing with you about a bunch of opportunistic assholes. Please feel free to defend this family of white-trash hate mongers as it is your right. And I will continue to pile my scorn upon them. However….
“As for their failure to live lives without sin, show me anyone who claims to be without sin and I’ll show you a liar! There is nothing wrong in having ideals even if you are human enough to fail to abide by them.”
I don’t give a shit about them living their lives without sin or not living up to their ideals. I f**king hate the Palins for shoving their unwelcome “ideals” down America’s throat, saying “we” must do this and do that and themselves completely ignoring these dictates. Mrs. Palin has forgotten that unless you’re leading by your own example the majority of intelligent people will ignore you, think you a hypocrite & charlatan, and lash out in anger when you fail to follow the demands you place on others.
MRS. SARAH PALIN IS A STUPID, IGNORANT, LYING, CORRUPT, OPPORTUNISTIC, VENGEFUL, UNETHICAL BITCH WHO IS UNABLE TO MANAGE, MUCH LESS PROPERLY PARENT, HER IDIOTIC OFFSPRING!!! AND I FUCKIN HATE HER!!! (That felt good.)
Now, leave me alone, David Dooffus.
HelOnWheels?
I certainly hope this doesn’t cause you to question whether what is certain to be idyllic blissfulness – but David can be a pretty good guy (if somewhat deluded occasionally into thinking “Sarah’s way or the highway).
I certainly hope you’ll never abandon me after writing: “…I f**king hate the Palins for shoving their unwelcome “ideals” down America’s throat, saying “we” must do this and do that and themselves completely ignoring these dictates. Mrs. Palin has forgotten that unless you’re leading by your own example the majority of intelligent people will ignore you, think you a hypocrite & charlatan, and lash out in anger when you fail to follow the demands you place on others.”
I haven’t fallen in absolute thrall with a woman in (well if I did mention a number would age become … )? (All my parts work but some I use more often than others.) I’ve never done anything on those “set-up sites” and certainly didn’t expect to find the love of my life on a site called Godammit.com but damn.
You are one impressive lady. (Oh that screensaver? Remember the time our good moderator posted a jpeg of her posterior?)
JK – I do what I can.
BTW, I do apologize to you and to all for my excessive use of obscenities. I am usually very erudite. However, I tend lose all semblance of a decent vocabulary when faced with the likes of the Palins.
“I f**king hate the Palins”
There-in lies the very worst four-letter word of them all. Its use says far more about the user than the recipient.
David – The worst four letter word of all?!?!? Says who? Surely you fucking hate President Obama, do you not? Keep this up and you’ll never get an invitation to the JK/HoW wedding.
On bended knee on the grounds of Reverend Wolf’s Godammit.com – HelOnWheels? Yes. Yes. Oh hell yes.
Screw (I hate to use that term given Doof Duff) on this hallowed ground and had planned to fly you on my dime on that Airbus but thinking about it, FUCK YOU and the horse you rode in on.
No David, forget it. But I DO think like HelonWheels.
It’s that goddam sanctimioniously bullshit. “Do as I say, not as I do.”
What it is, is what the sanctimonious doesn’t seem to connect.
Senator Foley says, “Do ya wanna?”
Senator Craig say’s “Do ya wanna?”
I hope Sister Wolf will vouch for me – but wtf –
Reverend Sister Wolf? You give me choice: what preaching?
(And HelonWheels) we’re safe in the hands of Sister Wolf.

JK – “HelOnWheels? Yes. Yes. Oh hell yes” <— this, you reprimanding David, and your use of “sanctimonious” made me feel all “funny” inside. 😉
SW – What’s interesting is Doof Duff (Thanks for that, JK!) only took the beginning, “I f**king hate the Palins”, of a much longer sentence that was very specific in describing what it is that I hate about the Palins politics and public statements/personas. I’m capable of blind, unsupported hatred but that’s not the case with the Palins. Way to go, David. You’re acting more and more like a rightwingnut talking head.
OK, ‘HoW’, let’s try the whole sentence:
“I f**king hate […] for shoving their unwelcome “ideals” down America’s throat, saying “we” must do this and do that and themselves completely ignoring these dictates.
Insert your own name of choice, eg, Obama, Bush, Clinton . . .!
And where, precisely and exactly does a conversation with that sort of sentence take you in the end? Nowhere is where! And as we seem to have arrived at nowhere I will take my leave and trust that you and JK live happily ever after which you will, I’m sure, so long as your sex is very, very responsible!
Doof?
Mine and HelOnWheels’ sex life is none of your absolutely fucking business.
I might not have to ask HelOn for anything, (considering I’m on an Internet dateing site called Godammit.com) but damn David get your head outta your ass. Look what happened (admittedly priot the official grand opening of the Republican Party) to Andrew Jackson’s wife Rachel. And HELL that was in 1824.
Ironically perhaps after Ol’ Andy kicked your sorry-assed Red-Coated (you must do something about English fashion) dumbnuts at the Battle of New Orleans.
The thing is David, your side preaches – Larry Craig, Foley, Sanford et al to all the rest of us that we must adopt “family values” in the guise of …. oh wholesomeness I guess. Meanwhile these same guys have a “dormitory” on C-Street in DC where they can (given the right circumstances) screw the daughter of whoever is lobbying the hardest.
I read your website David. You do a fair amount of “skewering” too. All well and good.
What I (and the woman of my dreams) cannot stand for are the “holier than thou” guys. It’s consistancy David.
This , “We know best.” is… on an artistic level…. prob’ly as good as the counseling Sister Wolf is gonna give me and HelOnWheels.
(Except that-Benny Wanna isn’t my screensaver – and it appears no one is taking the responsibility for saving me from either myself or – HelOnWheels.)
I’m just happy whenever two of my commenters find true love here, or even fleeting love, like that between annemarie and Patrick, back in the early days of Pap Smear.
