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 ....

He isn’t even a full fledged teacher, he’s a teaching assistant. Sounds just like someone I’d love teaching my grandkids, NOT.

That was a quote from the movie that you posted the pic from (Kindergarten Cop) - I wasn’t really asking for the information...

Schwarzenegger played a little game called “Who Is Your Daddy and What Does He Do” to get the children to let on to who he was supposed to be protecting and if there was a plant in the room (IIRC).

OMG, he’s 49 and only a teaching assistant? (No offense at all to teaching assistants, only that it’s pretty long in the tooth to be one.)

I’d bet he’s gay. It seems a good number of the most rabid anti-Palin bloggers/whatnot, are (e.g., Perez Hilton).

Indeed, a 49 year-old male and you're only a kindergarten teacher assistant?

Shouldn't you be assistant Principal or Superintendent by then?

I wonder how much that job pays? Does he have another source of income? Income that is Soros related in some way?

You know, when I looked at this chick's facebook page, I didn't realize that this Linda Kellen Biegel is the blogger named “Celtic Diva”.

What's hilarious is, my first reaction upon looking at her picture was that she looks like a woman that likes to dance around nude in a big circle under the new moon with her other womyn friends. I would lay odds that she's into paganism or wicca.

Wow, what an utterly manly photo of him. And I mean that in the ‘I like drinks with pink umbrellas and Judy Garland showtunes’ kinda way.

This is the only way all this nonsense will stop, IMO. Every time one of these clowns publishes or announces false and damaging information about the Palins, I hope they do get sued. Or at least seriously threatened with a lawsuit. That seems to be the only way to combat this viciousness.

Its looking more and more like Zaki, Beagle and this moron are in a tight circle to bring down Sarah Palin. Dime to donuts they are getting funded by Rahm or Soros.

Let's see how he will enjoy a dose of his own medicine.

How dare he malign and lie, and be evil in his intent about Sarah Palin based on his intent to destroy her reputation and political future.

Who would want to hire this guy? Perhaps he volunteers.

Pray that he turns from his vile ways, and repents of his sins. In Jesus name. Amen.

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.

You can bet a lot of nervous parents of all political persuasions in Anchorage are going to be sitting down with their little boys and asking them some delicate questions tonight.I'm filing a screencap of the comment that the 49 year old man who professes to love small children so much, Jesse Griffin AKA Gryphen, made about little Tripp getting his @$$ beaten [hat tip to Dan Riehl ] here before it gets taken down:

Hmmm, I can see my statement was ambiguous. Let me be clear — the man Griffin is insane, perverted. He is the ember. Look into that school he teaches at and see if there is an immoral fire.

“I’m filing a screencap of the comment that the 49 year old man who professes to love small children so much, Jesse Griffin AKA Gryphen, made about little Tripp getting his @$$ beaten...”

He seems to take getting your ass beaten pretty well for granted, doesn’t he? Wonder what his “classrooms” are like? Notice that the Celtic Diva (who is a real work of art) is so prominent in his little intimate blogworld...

And don’t miss the lovely comment about genetic markers at the top of the page of the screencap above either. If this man ‘loves children’, he does so for his own gratification. He obviously doesn’t care much about their physical welfare & emotional well-being while he goes about spreading vicious garbage like this against an innocent child - a child who has aboslutely nothing to do with the politics of his mother which this sick freak happens not to agree with

He probably dreams of being with lovely Sarah.

Nah, I'd guess he probably dreams of being with manly Todd.

Shall we assume he's also a democrat and a union member?

The level of outright anti-Americanism and anti-traditional values in our public schools is astounding. It’s scary.

Does he have another source of income?

From a previous post, it sounds as though he may be a Social Worker. He works for Alaska State Child Services, or something like that.
