Move-Out Day for Sarah Palin’s Creepy-Stalker-Guy Neighbor
**Written by Doug Powers
Todd Palin can take down the fence, at least until this guy moves back in next spring:
Palin’s neighbor of three months on Wasilla’s Lake Lucille, author Joe McGinniss, is packing his bags and notebooks and leaving Sunday for his home in Massachusetts to write the book he has been researching on the former governor and GOP vice presidential candidate.
The book’s angle is apparent: Evil Sarah and her henchmen have such a grip on her town that McGinniss was denied a peek behind Wasilla’s Iron Curtain due to a climate of fear in You-Bet’chaville:
McGinniss would not reveal what his book will say about the former governor. But he did get a taste of the support Palin has inspired.
“It’s just a peculiar thing, but she does, as I found out in May, she presses a button and what comes back is hate,” he said. “The people who respond when she complains about something are just so filled with hate. I got some of the ugliest, most vile e-mails directed at me, my grandchildren, my children, my wife — just ugly, ugly stuff.”
As for his interviews, most people he approached in Palin’s hometown were willing to speak, but he said there was what he calls an “undercurrent of fear.”
“People — I don’t know if they’re afraid of shadows or whether there’s something real there — she’s no longer in a position of governmental influence but there are people up there who are scared to death to talk because if Sarah ever found out they talked, oh, something terrible would happen to them,” he said.
So if you want to know what the book’s about without buying it, just rent Road House and substitute Sarah Palin for Brad Wesley, and put Joe McGinniss in the role of Patrick Swayze’s character Dalton — except have Dalton give up and move out at the end instead of saving the town.
McGinniss calls it “hate,” but some of us rubes in flyover country simply consider not being very helpful to some jackwagon who’s only in town to smear one of our residents “sticking up for our neighbors.” A foreign and frightening concept to some.

This bed-wetter never had to step foot in Alaska.
His nightmares and fantasies would be all he’d need to write a series of books, if past experience with Palin-haters is any indication.
This guy probably lost control of his bladder any time he saw Todd.
I’ll bet he will be missed like a case of hemorroids.
Hockeystick moms strike again. They can strike fear in the heart of a stalker no less. Fear, fear I tell ya! We live in strange times.
People express hatred for a stalker.
Imagine that.
Now available a Costco. But you have to buy two cases.
What was this guy expecting? A parade in his honor?
I guess this guy decided to leave because he heard Glenn Beck would be in AK with the Palins this coming up week-end and couldn’t deal with both of them!
L
I wonder if anyone went on national television calling him a Nazi?
That is pretty terrible behavior.
This book will be promoted endlessly on CBS Early Show, Today and Good Morning America. MSNBC and CNN will have him on multiple times, and nod their heads at all of his wild assertions without challenge or rebuttal.
I would be willing to bet that he will be too chicken to go on FOX at all.
NYT book review will try and boost the book, as will more than one of their op-ed columnists.
Ditto the WaPo.
In the end, the sales will be disappointing anyway.
Sarah Palin’s next book will hit 2 million plus in hardback this fall.
It will drive the liberals nuts all over again.
She will have another highly attended book signing tour, and all the media outlets will be fighting each other to get her booked.
FOX will get first dibs, of course.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the douchebag doesn’t put a rush on this to try and spoil her book release this November with his crazy accusations, trailing her around the MFM shows.
It won’t work. She will be above his nonsense and have a great success, yet again.
Too bad liberals, we just ain’t buying your crap anymore.
There will always be creeps and stalkers such as Joe McGinniss. AMERICAN towns with real men and women such as Wasilla will treat the punk like a punk. Hollyweird and New York will most likely give him his ten minutes of fame.
Wasilla: A town without pity for bed-wetters!

I hope Sarah Palin has two good armed security guards with her at all times in the future. She will be a target soon–if she isn’t already. That was a scary event at the Anchorage Airport a few weeks ago. It could have been tragic. There are probably 50 nutcases loose–at all times–trying to kill a president–pope–singer or other famous person–for some sick reason.
***
She is the real threat to the socialist / marxist takeover of our government that is being done now by Comrade Obama (PBUH) and his ilk. And our country’s enemies would much rather deal with President Obama or President Hillary Clinton. They will get Margaret Thatcher style backbone and common sense when they have to deal with President Palin.
***
Coming soon to a country near you. The handwriting is on the wall for the smart to see.

This is akin to putting a mosque on ground zero. Legal but absent of morality.
Not this guy, he is a perfect butt head.

Off topic, but thought you’d be interested.
We need some spine starch on ObamaCare.
This guy just doesnt get it. And he obviously doesn’t realize what kind of freak he sounds like with quotes like the above. I guarantee his book– er hit piece– will be a miserable failure. And if this brain atrophied loser wants to know what real hate sounds like, he should tune into the Daily Kos blog, or read some of the e-mails to our hostess.
Put simply, those Wasilla folks know trash when they see it. What did the turd expect; a hero’s welcome for trying to trash one of their folks? Frankly, he’s lucky to get out alive; 100 years ago he would have ended-up fish-bait. Sigh, sometimes I long for the old ways…
The “journolisters” will never stop the attacks on Sarah. I see hate everyday from these folks, not just the attacks on Sarah.
I would really like to meet Todd Palin. He appears to have a lot of restraint, which is a good thing. However, I’m not sure as the spouse of Sarah Palin I could have his restraint. Good on you Todd.
I’d long for a neighbor like that,, HE would really have something to fear… and if things were so suspenseful, terrifying for townspeople, why didn’t he fear for his own safety? Oh yes, he’s leaving. See it now..
“I left as my own fears rose to the level of the townspeople… so concerned with personal safety that I hired the old reliable SEIU personnel to assure my well being.”
“Filled with dread as I left,my thoughts were that I would never return to such a dark conservative bed of… gag…freedom…”
This book is not headed for the NYT “Best Sellers” list. Twenty thousand copies. Tops.
All this time spent to uncover “dirt”. What a waste of time. How many politicians and political elites could have had a “dirt ferret” living next door to them? How long would it have take to get the “goods” on them? This whole thing stems from the liberal perception that everyone is as corrupt as they are. That there are no people of principle in the country. The goal then become to discover some secret to use as leverage to control anyone who will not be silent. They may just discover that there are more people of principle than the elites ever knew existed and that silencing them they do at their own peril.
Funny, funny stuff….
A clueless progressive hack who doesn’t get why decent people didn’t want to have anything to do with him? Comical!
Liberals, for all their efforts, still haven’t figured out, that it doesn’t matter how much time, effort, and research goes in to collecting data for a book, their partisanship will always overrule the truth, and they wind up writing venomous drivel, regardless of the facts.
There is nothing we don’t already know about Sara Palin. McGinnis’s purpose for writing his tome, is to continue a character assassination, and to make Palin seem vile, and un-rehabilitatable in any (assumed) future election.
People of McGinnis’s ilk should be shunned, ignored, and marginalized, for they offer the people of this great land, nothing…Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
Is there a shortage of rope in this country?
Joe “the pedophile” McGinniss is leaving to write his Craigslist fantasies? Will John Kerry and Scott Brown request him to be the next Massachusetts state poet laureate?
O/T,
If you haven’t heard, FL Marco Rubio’s father passed away. Prayers for the entire Rubio family. May God hold Mr. Rubio in His arms.

The key question is: how many politicians live in neighborhoods where someone can buy a house next door within fifty feet or less of their house?
Much of this is elitist and voters tend buy into it.
Incumbency = qualified.
Ivy League college legacy = qualified.
New York connections = qualified.
Middle class/poor = unqualified (and dirty).
This line while not surprising, strikes me just a bit discomfiting.
Let’s see, a person, ostensibly a writer, moves in next door and sets about literally watching your every move. Goes around a small town where everyone knows everyone asking a lot of questions and trying to dig up dirt on a prominent member of the town. Then wonders why the townspeople and nearly every normal person thinks he’s “creepy and stalkerish” to use one of my son’s term for such people or why people of good character might feel that he’s invading not only the Palin family’s privacy but the privacy of an entire town? Which side of the moon was he raised on? A stranger comes into a town and shows disrespect for its sensibilities and its people. He fails to act in a cordial and mannerly fashion and yet feels offended that he wasn’t taken to the bosom of the people he’s offended in every possible way. What kind of a fool is he?
Please don’t mistake my pity and my incredulity for hate. Hate would imply that this “Joe McGinniss” fellow was worthy of consideration as anything but a sheer nuisance.

Yeah, but to the extent this guy got ANYTHING LIKE the crap we know Michelle and others get, that is just wrong.
Our side of the political spectrum really needs to be above that.
Friends don’t let friends send hate mail.
McGinpiss says:
Compared to what? Which American who puts him/herself into today’s political arena doesn’t get hate mail?
I think the lady doth protest too much. At minimum, McGinpiss comes off like a whiny, little jihadist being dragged off of a jet plane only halfway through his dry run.
Oh, and another thing…
What are the chances of the average hate-mailer even knowing that ol’ Joe has grandchildren to also hate?
I’m throwing a flag on this one. This guy is as phony as a Chappaquiddick neck brace.
WOT but very relevant to the subject of Muslim tolerance, interfaith outreach and becoming good citizens.
Islam is a hostile invasion force.
If jerkhead, along with wifey/kiddies, got any threatening hate mail – why were they not turned over to the FBI? Simplest thing in the world to trace IP addresses. If he was so scared for his own, nevermind his family’s safety, to not do so means one thing – they never happened, or were sent by family and friends.
This guy is such a fraud, this scum bag didn’t have to go to Alaska to write his book. He had all the evil, sick thoughts he needed in his pee brain before ever stepping foot on a plane to Alaska.
You can bet the book will be categorized fiction, placed at the front door in such liberal bastions as Borders and Barns ‘n Noble…etc.
———
Rags, read your piece, good read, now is the time to start holding this “old time” repub’s feet to the fire, Boehner included. I was never real sure about this guy, he seems to sway in the wind at times, along with most all of the old time senators…McConnell, Kyl, and my public enemy #1 Juan McAmnesty.
Projection much from his perception as a lefty. I lived and worked all over Alaska for years and can say that Alaskans are among the most friendly in the world. I can’t tell you how many times I was invited by complete strangers to sit and have dinner with them. The flip side of this is that Alaskans are fiercely independent and are not willing in most cases to throw another Alaskan under the bus. Clueless Joe apparently did not learn this in his time in Alaska.
Joe McGinnis is a ‘Legend In His Own Mind’
My guess would be hate and hype was exactly what this gutter snipe was hoping for and expecting. It would sell his book.
Likely he hoped for what I’d do if he tried this with my family – I’d punch his lights out. Do NOT mess with my family. Todd and the Palins exhibited remarkable restraint and wouldn’t play his game. Good on ‘em!
McGinnis is nothing more than a golrified paparazi parasite trying to cash in on other’s notoriety. Poor creep has to settle for anonymous hate email from people not even associated with the Palins, and trumped up, non-existant fear of Palin retrubution by locals.
Nuts. What’s a poor blood-sucker to do?
Weenie liberal journolist probably heard a rumor that it was going to get a little COLDER in the coming momnths.
Joe – come back up for a 3 month winter rental and get the real scoop on Sarah and Alaskans!
Thank you, right. Come by often, and bring a friend. swede’s helping me out now, too!
Ragspierre#36,
I visit also and do enjoy your insight. Keep up the good work.
L
Thank you all for your support. It means a lot.
Great line.
You made the climate slick, lay in it.
I wonder what little momentos he is taking with him for his scrap book of reminders?
Well gosh, Mr. McGinniss, could it be that people in Wasilla actually LIKE Sarah Palin? That’s hard for any libby to grasp, I know, but work with me here…
jsmiddleton4
‘wonder what little momentos he is taking with him’
Anything he found in their garbage, which includes gossip.
The guy is toxic.
So this perv’s going home, what’s the matter, did he run out of clean towels and Jergen’s lotion?
Are we supposed to take this giant bandwagon of political hacks and “journalist” morons like this guy seriously as political opponents?
Seems to me we just need to get busy and beat the snot out of their political heros at the election booth every election year and keep pouring it onto our representatives and senators to pay attention to the things we want them to pay attention to and vote down any socialist unconstitutional garbage the liberal fascists want to push through. Keep voting the enemies of the state out of office.
Let’s see how they like that kinda real fear in their hearts, the kind they are going to taste in November for fear we will continue to vote, continue to organize, and bottle the Tea Party spirit and spread it far and wide.
I am sick of reading about blowhard liberal fascists in the media who believe they have power in this bloggedwatered down media game they play.
Lock and load and let the Devil eat his own. Let Soros buy the first 250,000 copies of this idiot’s book. No one else will.
Bear1909 out.
PS: This guy who is writing the book about Sarah Palin is a complete pantywaist. He will get invited onto “The View” and enjoy his 15 minutes of fame and then see ya later Bozo. What a complete puke.
Joe McGinnis has done good stuff in the past but like many people who encounter something they do not understand or do not want to deal with, they lose all sense of priority and proportion. It’s a pity that this has happened but it clearly has and we need to acknowledge it and accept it for what it is. For the phenomena is more common than we think.
For example, consider a few weeks ago when a commentator on this site went ballistic over a movie he refused to see because of the comments of a few of its stars. Though this movie did not have a single anti-american moment in it, this person nevertheless went into a panic. Now this weekend as loathsome an anti-american, anti-conservative, pro-open borders movie as has ever been distributed was released — I speak of course of Machete — and this individual had nothing to say. Nothing whatever. Sad indeed. But it goes to show that these errors happen even to the best of us, and sometimes to the less than the best.
Oh, and a good place to start if you want to learn more about Machete (yes, that means you, Doug) is here.
http://hindenblog1.blogspot.com/2010/09/crash-mexploitation-porn-beats-clooney.html
A little more on the Mexploitation of Machete.
Didn’t see machete but saw Clooney in The American. Slow moving up until the parts where it moves even slower…Naked Italian babe – sorry ladies – but otherwise not so interesting.
Instead of just gabbing about it, this expose report ought be sown out to every media outlet and conservative blog to nip a November gadfly in the bud.

‘The Expendables’ was good action flick;I would actually go see it again in a few weeks, which is something I rarely do for a movie.
I won’t bother to see ‘Machete’-in fact I wonder why Danny Trejo is getting tax credits from Texas to make such crap?
He’s married?! To a non-rubber lady?
oh, wait. A column regarding Mrs. Palin, and no nyk? what up wit dat?
How about a book about McGinniss?
This guy’s a Loser. Big L right in the middle of his forehead. He wants to whine about not being able to malign Sarah Palin and he wants us all to feel so sorry for him because decent people shut him down? I love the twisted thinking of liberals.
Call the Wa-a-a-m-bulance!
Why can’t liberals just go away gracefully? It’s not in their nature to be anything but hateful, mean-spirited, resentful, scornful…or any other myriad dark emotions caring humans try to avoid, or overcome. They not only practice the darkness, but gleefully embrace it. Why should any of us expect “grace” from this ilk?
Would’ve killed all the fish dead….like a pencil neck geek of Dr. Demento fame…
Please, Joe, enough of the bullshale. People go to Alaska all the time and don’t go anywhere near Sarah Palin, so why was she your only way back? And do I believe that if Sarah had been governor of Nebraska you would still have spent the summer hanging out in Alaska? Come on, dude, we all know you would have been setting your GPS to the environs of greater Omaha. Joe, nobody you know would pay you to write something about Alaska that didn’t involve Palin, so I’m not sure who you thing you’re fooling here, but it isn’t me.
Ditto Wade, but even further, its like putting up a mosque near the World Trade Center and then complaining about the “backlash of anti-Muslim sentiment.”
So how about those few twitterpated Wasillians? Likely Democrats or relatives of Levi Johnson, McGuinness cant tell you if their fear is real or imagined. That quote was funny, the book is a comedy right?
It is too bad if anyone gave this freakshow far-left zealot reason to whine about receiving “hate mail” or “threats” in response to his blatant stalking of Sara Palin and her family. Any serious threats of violence or death against him and/or his family should have been reported to the authorities, investigated, and the threat-maker punished accordingly.
However, he may be more satisfied, so to speak, going on the “hate-sex” site that targeted conservative women . . . oops, that’s been removed due to public outrage.
Sorry, Lefties. Your tactics of intimidation, personal insults, violence, etc., don’t wash with the majority of people. You lose.
LOO-HOO, ZUH-HER.
