Man who spoke about Palin family brawl fired from job for sharing details
Daily News ^ | 09/23/2014 | Adam Edelman

The Alaska man who divulged details about the bizarre brawl that broke out between the Palin family and a large group of other inebriated snowmobile enthusiasts has been fired from his job for the revelation, according to a bombshell report.

Eric Thompson gave his account of the bizarre fight, which occurred earlier this month at a birthday party in Anchorage, on ABC’s “Good Morning America," prompting his boss at a local paving company — which was affiliated with the party — to fire him from his job.

He is now seeking work and has posted an unusual, but emotional, YouTube video — it shows Thompson holding up a “Won’t Work 4 Palin” sign and making a plea for job offers — to “get the word out that the Palins do have a lot of political power and can get you fired for telling the truth,” he told the Alaska Dispatch News.

To date, Thompson is the only person in attendance at the Sept. 6 brawl who has revealed any details of the strange fracas.

Despite the consequences of his first disclosure, however, Thompson went on to share with the Dispatch News even juicier details about the house-party-gone-awry.

Thompson said about 70 people attended the party at the home of Korey Klingenmeyer, an office manager for McKenna Bros. Paving — where Thompson had worked — to celebrate the birthdays of the company’s owners, Marc and Matthew McKenna.

The Palin family, who had been invited along with other snowmobile enthusiasts, showed up at the party between 8:30 and 9:00 that night, Thompson said, in a Hummer stretch limousine.

Later that night, Thompson said, the fight broke out.

It started when Palin’s 25-year-old son Track Palin got into it with the son of one of Thompson’s friends.

Paving can’t be more than summer employment in Alaska. Too cold to pave most of the year.

Bear hunting with bow and arrows could provide food and a living for this man.

Just another liberal whack job who got caught in a lie and can’t stand the fact that he has been proven a liar. The Palin’s didnt get him fired, he probably got fired for being a douche bag

Well, hopefully this creature will enjoy his well deserved unemployment and, later, get gainful employment elsewhere from which he can peddle some fiction.

“No thanks, I already have crabs” said Eric.

So basically this guy is your garden-variety vicious Leftist who saw an opportunity to trash someone whom he disagrees with politically. Now, he hangs out his bum sign further demonstrating that Leftists are petty and vindictive people who have consistently project blame for miserable their lives on big, bad Conservatives.

This guys deserves everything he got, and more.

Oh, I forgot. He can make his own bows and arrows too.

NY Daily News is running really, really behind on all their recent Palin stories.

This is old news.

His story sounds at least a little embellished.

If it was as chaotic a scene as he says it was, could he really have been in a position to accurately observe everything in such detail?

This is actually an update to the news from 10 days ago.

The first time someone actually came out as an “eyewitness” (note the quotes) to what occurred.

The original story started from the blog post of an Alaskan anti-Palin blogger named : AMANDA COYNE.

The rest of the media picked it up and then repeated her story ( now you see it going viral ).

Notice how this classically trained professional journalist managed to slip in some assumptions and innuendo (no that's not a Gay Italian phrase). "Bizarre brawl" and the assumption that it really did happen and it was really a "bizarre brawl". Notice the assumption that the Palin family was inebriated. Notice that this is so important that it can be compared to a "bombshell". All in the first sentence. I love what that woman, Sarah Palin, does to the circuitry in a liberal mind.

Interesting that as the Presidential election season gets closer, more and more anti-Palin “stories” are popping up.

Wonder why?
