CNN Bozo Accidentally Outs His Source; Palins Threaten Legal Action On Divorce Smear
American Spectator ^ | 8.2.09 @ 8:53PM | By Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 08/02/2009 8:18:27 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

An attorney for Sarah Palin has delivered a letter threatening legal action against an anti-Palin blogger who was the source of a divorce rumor that the attorney for the former Alaska governor called "categorically false."

Publication of the letter at a Web site that repeated the rumor has uncovered circumstantial evidence that the anti-Palin blogger "Gryphen" is a kindergarten teacher at an Anchorage elementary school....

CNN stringer/anti-Palin blogger Dennis Zaki published ... a copy of a letter from Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein, ordering "Gryphen" to retract the allegations -- calling them "complete fabrications, false and defamatory" -- or face legal action. The Van Flein letter, published by Zaki with the name of the recipient blacked out, ended with this sentence:

"If you do not have an attorney, please let me know if you want to be served with the summons and complaint at the kindergarten where you assist or at your residence." (Emphasis added.)

By publishing the letter, Zaki inadvertantly provided valuable information to an anonymous tipster who compiled online research indicating the identity of "Gryphen," ....

Media in Alaska will not be able to ignore the news that the state's most notorious anti-Palin blogger is a kindergarten teacher at public school. Having spent part of my early career as a newspaper reporter covering the education beat, I can predict that "Gryphen" will soon at the center of a maelstrom of controversy....

"Gryphen" [is] Jesse Griffin, a part-time teaching assistant at Trailside Elementary School in Anchorage. At his Immoral Minority blog, Griffin now confirms the basics (without using his real name), saying he has "every confidence that I will be vindicated."....

Good luck with that vindication, Mr. Griffin. Im sure the taxpayers of Anchorage won't mind you calling Mrs. Palin all those ugly names ....

Though my mom has been a primary school teacher (K through 3rd grade) for 40+ years and during her times there have been a few male teachers, but certainly not many as you can imagine.

Way back when, my 6th grade teacher was a guy. Strict disciplinarian but everyone liked him! One thing he would do is if someone started nodding off during class he would pick-up a tennis ball from his desk and throw it at them! Just try doing that now! :-)

Except for a few male teachers in high school this guy was my only male teacher.

You are so right. And I hope he goes down and is made to be an example for the rest of the Palin hating freaks out there.

He’s a sick, sick man and really should be committed to a mental hospital.

SUE HIM, SARAH! SUE SUE SUE!

That’s the only thing these liberals truly understand: when their own pocketbooks empty.

Even if I had no political view, or even if I were a Democrat, and I had a child attend this school and was in this guy’s class and I read what kind of garbage he posted, sick, vile stuff, I wouldn’t want my child to be subjected to him at all. It’s one thing to not agree with someone politically, it’s a whole other thing to post sick stuff like this. It goes WAY beyond anything I have ever see. The school should be notified, perhaps they have no idea, background checks are really pathetic nowadays, ya know how many teachers and aids molest children and have a squeaky clean background check, happens all the time. I wouldn’t put it past this guy to be a pedophile

> I’ve never heard of a male kindergarten teacher or helper before.

They aren’t common, but there are a few. By reputation male kindergarten teachers tend to keep mischievous young lads under control better than do their female kindergarten teacher counterparts. As a result, the few that are available are in quite high demand.

I can’t imagine it being a great way to get wealthy, but in a place like Alaska I can’t imagine the cost of living being particularly high either. Assuming one could keep living costs down to a bare minimum, Alaska would provide a great lifestyle and teaching kindergarten would provide a cushy way to make a living with plenty of time-off to enjoy one’s self.

This is one reason why Sarah chose to become a private citizen again.

The gloves are off libtards.

I hope this is the beginning of the complete unraveling of the anti-Palin lie and smear operation. Be sure to watch the video “Ethicsgate” which documents the close working relationship between the anti-Palin bloggers, the “ethics” complaint filers, and the Alaska Dem Party. Jean Devon (Mudflats and former troll on Team Sarah) has tried to knock the video off the net, and was successful for awhile, but now it’s back on YouTube and numerous blogs have posted it. It’s gotten Linda Biegel (Celtic Diva) so rattled that she’s scrambling to cover her fat ass.

This latest unmasking of Jesse Griffin may be the string that unravels the operation like a cheap suit. If they can drag that clown into court, he’ll crack. That crack will be heard all the way into Axelrod’s office in the White House.

Here’s the video link:

I hope it ends up being more than Griffin being ‘made an example of’... I hope this is just the start.

Still, Griffin needs to take one for the team.

It’s going to be easy to prove motive also. No doubt the guy is in love with Palin’s husband and wants her out of the way.
