A stalker has moved next to Sarah Palin's house in Wasilla, Alaska. The creep is writing a book about Palin.
From Fox News: " Author Joe McGinniss has taken up residence in a house next to Palin's lakeside home in Wasilla.
McGinniss previously wrote a critical expose on Palin and her natural gas pipeline plan for the Conde Nast publication Portfolio last year, and is planning a book about the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate. It's tentatively titled, "Sarah Palin's Year of Living Dangerously" and could be on the shelves in the fall of 2011.
"Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is about 15 feet away on the neighbor's rented deck overlooking my children's play area and my kitchen window," Palin posted on Facebook late Monday, hours after returning from a trip to the Lower 48 and learning of McGinniss' presence.
"We're sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he's penning. Wonder what kind of material he'll gather while overlooking Piper's bedroom, my little garden, and the family's swimming hole?" she wrote." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/26/author-writing-palin-moves-door/
This is shameful conduct by the author and his publisher. This is out and out intimidation by this stalker.
And where is the MSM or liberal women's group on this issue? I guess because it's Sarah Palin, who cares.
Why does Sarah Palin attract all these liberal stalkers. David Letterman, Bill Mahr, Keith Olberman etc? All sick and perverted white males.
But I hope that if McGinniss some how, when he is cooking his ego, and accidentally starts a fire, I hope the Wasilla Fire Dept. takes their time in getting to that house after getting lost three times and see what happens. I would also hope that the Palins have 911 on their speed dial in case that stalker McGinnis gets violent and attacks the Palin's and their kids. He sounds like that kind of guy.

So you believe that writing a critical expose is equivalent to (or likely to lead to) violent attacks? You have no basis to think that McGinnis is violent or likely to break the law. Yes, it is uncomfortable for the Palins to have him living next door, but few of us have the luxury to pick our neighbors in perpetuity. This is a non-story, unless and until he breaks the law trying to get information. Journalists are not automatically stalkers.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Jill, but it is a story. If someone was stalking you, ow would you feel if they moved next door to you?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I feel if a person will go to that great length to live next the Palins, I think that shows he has the potential for violence.
He could have done his job without moving next to the Palins. He is doing this to intimidate the Palins and that is what abusers like to do- intimidate.
I'm sorry you think this is a non-story but then most liberal feel that way about conservative women. I just hope it never hapens to you.
Again, you are confusing journalism with stalking.
ReplyDeleteActually, he is an author of a book, not a journalist.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time an author/journalist moved next door to a subject they are writing about and have an adversial relationship?
How would you like it if a blogger you highly dislike and have a bad relationship with moved next to you? Wouldn't you be concerned?
