Who is Sarah Palin's 'stalker'? - The Week
Great article. This line has Palin pegged to a tee: "Sarah Palin had been a bare-knuckle backwoods populist who’d built a career out of puffing up dragons she could then slay."

That's exactly what she'd doing with this situation with the author moving in next door.

That's right, Palin's previous neighbors were recovering drug addicts and alcoholics

Question: Did Palin complain about those neighbors intruding on her privacy? Did Palin engage in fear mongering about the well being of her children back then? [good question]

We do know Palin launched a wicked and disgraceful smear campaign this week against Joe McGinniss when she found out the author, who is working on a book about Palin, had rented the house next door to her in Wasilla, Alaska. Writing on her Facebook page (or paying somebody to write for her on her Facebook page; there's no way of actually knowing), Palin portrayed McGinnis as intruding on her privacy and a would-be pedophile who wanted to lurk around her children's windows. Even though yes, it was Palin who invaded McGinnis' privacy this week by publishing a photo of him on his back deck. And yes, Palin only found about McGinniss after her husband went over to McGinnis' home. So who's stalking whom?

Palin quickly made the media rounds. Nailing herself to the rhetorical cross, the half-term governor and full-time Fox News flak, attacked McGinniss as a "creepy" "odd character," claiming his moving in next door was "sick." She feared him "peering" through her windows, and whipped the right-wing mob into a get-McGinnis frenzy. (The McGinniss death threats have already been spotted.)

I know this is why Palin gets so much press -- her games-playing inspires fun writing.

It's amazing how people dont see through her, isnt it? But they don't.

And she sure knows how to play them.

Have you looked at the ABC video?

Beautiful job.

Poor Joe (according to Greta @ Fox, the Wasilla Stalker), he's now the victim, right?

I am reminded of the video clip of Palin in a fishing boat with hip waders on. Why did she do this? I think she was trying to impress her friends. If that boat had capsized or she fell in the water those waders would quickly fill with water and she would have drown. Dumb ass, stupid.

Yep, great move by Palin.

Took care of that creep, McGinniss, and his Peeping Tom problem.

Kudos to Palin, way to go.

Ya, great move by the Palin's. They don't bother with a fence when newly released x-cons were cycling in and out to live next door between 2005 and 2008 but they put one up when a nearly 70 year old author with no criminal history moves in and when there absolutely no reason to believe the man is a Peeping Tom other than a drama queen's Facebook projections.

I disagree, I recall the guy from his dealings with Jeff MacDonald, I clearly vote for "peeping Tom" and "creep".

I think the fence was a great idea, should run some electricity through it too.
