An attorney for Sarah Palin is threatening to sue over a new book that he says defamed the Palins and contains 'a series of lies and rumours.'
John Tiemessen, in a letter to the publisher of Crown Publishing Group on Monday, cites an email that author Joe McGinniss allegedly sent a blogger in January seeking substantiation for several rumours that have surrounded Palin's family.
That email was posted online last week by Andrew Breitbart.
Mr Tiemessen says McGinniss' book, The Rogue: Searching For The Real Sarah Palin, contains 'most of' the stories that merely 'amounted to the wishful fantasies of disturbed individuals.'
Emails sent after hours to Crown Publishing, which is a division of Random House, and McGinniss weren't immediately returned, the Associated Press reports.
McGinniss lived next door to the Palins in Alaska last year while researching the book, which was released last week.....

I hope she takes that perverted creep McGinniss for every last thing he owns. GO SARAH!!!
Random House needs to hear from millions of American who love this country...

Whatever they settle for out of court I hope it includes a very public apology and admission of total fabrication.
Just tell Amazon to stick it in the FICTION section.
Thanks for the email address. Without cussing I told them what I thought of their ethics and that I wouldn’t be buying anything they publish.
Hope they get millions of similar letters.
To quote a former Palin foe-turned-colleague from Alaska:
"It's kind of like people who have never snorkled near a barracuda, they seem so docile at first, you think you can swim right alongside them. They don't realize that that mouth is loaded with razor-sharp teeth; it will whip around in a second and slice you to pieces. They're actually quite deadly..."
McIllness should have known better than to mess...
...time to pay the 'Cuda. LMAO!!!!
8^D

Thanks for the link!
Libs are claiming Palin is playing the “victim” card...
Yet any legit criticism of Obama’s policies is now considered racist.
Sarah is awesome.
but this is a mistake the more I think about it.
Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower (great leaders) wouldn’t have dropped down to that level just to defeat this little sewer rat. It isnt worth the time.
It’s going to get settle.....I see no way that RH would allow their correspodences be released in the “discovery” phase
Let’s try again with the tagline and see if shortening it fits
It’s not just to go after this little rat, it’s to put an end to 3 years of unprecedented attacks on Palin and her children by the media.
This serves notice that lies, rumors and innuendo will have repercussions and that they no longer have a license to smear the Palin’s with their unhinged lunacy.
If you have to take up battles like this, what is the state of the overall war ?
Now that Sarah Palin holds no office and is running for none, does she get the greater protection under US libel law that a non public figure gets? I’m not sure, since after all she is a TV commentatrix. If she’s still a public figure, this book’s garbage must truly be a pack of blatantly malicious and false lies for her to consider going after it.
Protecting yourself, your honor and that of your family is never a mistake. Nor is holding people accountable for their actions. Ever.
Not something a national leader would do. unless they were just finished with politics
To stop the 3 year witch hunt by the media and the left (same thing) that will go on for at least another 3 years against Palin and her family.
Palin is now a private citizen and is afforded protection against lies and smears by psychotic, unhinged lefties whose sole purpose is to destroy Palin.
They are still dumpster diving in Wasilla, filing the FOIA to read her emails, and even moving in next door to her in an attempt to dig up dirt on her, and after all this time, effort and money, have come up with nothing.
So they resorted to making things up in an attempt to destroy her.
I heard when she resigned as Governor, there where over 100 more frivolous lawsuits waiting to be filed.
When one of them has to pay out a 7 or 8 figure settlement, only then will the hysterics by the unhinged end.
I think you answered your own question there.
