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 ....

I have never believed much in astrological stuff, but this is dead on point -- kinda makes one wonder, doesn't it???
(My sincere apologies to the four-legged kinds of rats.)
Seriously I think those who hate Sarah Palin the most are indeed very much on the “gay” side.”

Much of the nastiest vitriol directed toward conservatives in general, both domestically and internationally, is driven by hateful queers.
************************************************************And yet, some her strongest supporters have been gays. The folks at Hillbuzz and Gaypatriot get just as outraged as Freepers over her treatment. Before Hillbuzz went inactive, they mounted a massive complaint campaign over David Letterman’s unjokes. They targeted sponsors, emailing, calling or writing each one that appeared for several weeks.
I think he is getting more attention than he ever counted on or wanted.
His salary probably is a matter of public record in his school district's budget. Undoubtedly already gotten by Sarah's legal team.
>>>>I wonder how many of the posts were made from school computers....<<<<
Ummm.... I’ve made a number of posts here at FreeRepublic from a school computer. In fact, I’ll pop over here between grading or lesson planning for some rest and relaxation, sort of an intellectual coffee break.
I won’t begrudge anyone making any sort of comment from the school computer, with this caveat: you are responsible for the content of the comment.
I’m informed enough to know that anything I write here (or anywhere) on the Internet is public. That cute little pseudonym I use here can easily be swept aside by a diligent researcher, or, worse yet, some kind of legal eagle looking for dirt following a complaint against me. Anything posted here (or anywhere on the Internet) is made under the belief that my boss, my wife, my son, or the parents of my students will read it.
And right now I’m thinking about some off-color jokes that I’ve made during the past several years.... *sigh* .... but I’ve never gone as far as writing outright falsehoods, gratuitous swearing, or libel like this kindergarten aide.
If I was this guy’s principal, I’d have a little talk with him at the start of the school year, show him to standards of conduct for teachers in Alaska, with a focus on the “moral terpitude” clause, and expect a decision immediately about which career path to take - Internet columnist or educator.
I’ve been to the guy’s website. What a career killing move.
Thank you for posting that snapshot of the Immoral Minority blog. At least we can see that Eduardo has a clue.
People, as Lincoln said, “Whatever you are, be a good one.” It doesn’t matter if he’s a 49 year old teacher’s aide, if he works with pride and is conscientious about his job. Let’s not be like the liberal haters.
Our valid questions are: Is he behaving professionally at work or using school resources for personal, political reasons? Is he appropriate with children at all times? Has he actively worked to assassinate a private citizen’s reputation? Do we want someone with this man’s personal beliefs in proximity to our children?
Thanks for clearing that up. M
Wow. The gatekeeper media with editors and ombudsmen are using bloggers as sources.... snicker...
griffin_jesse@asdk12.org is his e-mail address.....Just sent him a message of introduction.....We are watching you.
These people are sick, I swear liberals come from parents who spent their lives dropping acid. Only way such a large group of people can come out that screwed up.

Oh my! Using their own tactics against them. They aren’t going to like that one bit! You should be careful, he might break in and redecorate your house.
And on school time.
Nice screengrab, now, if he could get us as much info on Obama’s birth as he he did Tripp’s.
For those who have the time, that link provides a window into how the Child “protective” service works. Oh, I’m betting that mr. griffin is an ACORN, as well as someone you DO NOT want anywhere near your children.
Dufus forgot that Sarah is now free to sue his butt.
I think the gym membership is not paying off for him.
This guy has “pedophile” written all over him.
If I were a parent with a child at that school, I’d be demanding a thorough background check.
Nor the salad bar...
“They aren’t going to like that one bit! You should be careful, he might break in and redecorate your house.”
If he broke into my house, the place would be redecorated alright...
