A neat little twist in the McGinniss/Palin FenceGate saga
.. Eric Boehlert at the allegedly objective MediaMatters fancies he has landed a telling blow against Sarah Palin when he reveals that the place next door was for several years a halfway house for recovering drug addicts and alcoholics.

Halfway houses are not all the same. If they are solid, run by people with serious sobriety and well managed, the residents will be model neighbors.
Just around the corner from me, there was for years a large AA meeting in a home owned by a local church. I'm sure passing motorists were sometimes taken aback, in this rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, by the large crowd of somewhat rough looking characters, mostly male and mostly black, loitering outside before and after meetings. But the truth is, there is no safer place in Washington, D.C. or any other major city than the street outside an AA meeting that is letting out.

Until 2007, the house operated as a way station for recovering drug addicts. Catherine Taylor, who inherited the house decades ago, said the Palins never complained about the recovering drug addicts and ex-cons who lived next door., but now an undesirable neighbour has moved in.

The recovering boozers & druggies obviously minded their own business unlike the new tenant.

Exactly, I would rather have a recovering substance abuser next door rather than a member of the “lame stream media” LOL

As usual, liberals lose the argument while at the same time showing themselves to be the worst kind of hypocrites.

Too many liberal progressive "democrats" are functionally insane.
How does the legal use of a neighboring home or house reflect on any person's home or family?

I was amazed to read blog comments on WaPo and Politico sites suggesting how awful it was that Palin only put up the fence during the reporters tenure, when they had *gasp* former druggies living next door. Must have been in a Center for American Progress talking points memo.
All I could think is how desperate they are as it illustrates how tolerant the Palin’s are towards those who have paid their debt to society.
Lead balloon effort. Way to go open-minded progressives!

This says everything about the quality of conservatives and the rank hypocrisy of liberals and the leftist press.

Those Wahpo posters are nuts, how can they compare recovering users to some psychopathic stalker whose own son publically admitted that his daddy was OBSESSED with Governor Palin?
Recovering addicts turning around their lives versus a psychopathic STALKER.

There is nothing they will not criticize her for. If she had not built a fence, they would have said she’s a lousy mother for not shielding her children from a pervert next door.
