Palin Blacklists Alaska Bloggers (Lefty Stalkers Barred From Wasilla Book Signing)
The Atlantic ^ | Wednesday, December 23, 2009 | Benjamin F. Carlson

Posted on 12/23/2009 8:10:15 AM PST by kristinn

Excepting her bang-up performance at the Gridiron Dinner this month, Sarah Palin has an infamously fraught relationship with the media. On the one hand, frenzied coverage of her memoir ginned up sales. On the other hand, non-stop scrutiny of her clothing choices allegedly ruined a family vacation. There are costs to being constantly in the spotlight.

Now she's taken some measures to control the message. Three Alaska bloggers who crossed Palin while she was governor have found themselves banned from attending her book signings. Jesse Gryphen, Dennis Zaki, and Shannyn Moore--plus an unknown fourth--are blacklisted at Palin events. Gryphen tells the story:

I turned around and came face to face with a local police officer who quickly apologized and then informed me that I was on the "banned list".

"I am on the WHAT list?" I asked.

"The banned list sir, I am going to have to escort you off of the property. This is a private event." ...

Good for Sarah. It’s time we stop kowtowing to our enemies. Mitch “His Ladyship” McConnell, please take note.

What the hey, they wrongly accused her of banning books, when its her enemies she’s banning. I wouldn’t want them around either. It keeps the air clean...

Gryphen is a pedophile and a sicko. The Palins should get a restraining order keeping him away from them for the foreseeable future.

Oh my!! You mean,, now that she’s not the Governor anymore, they don’t have a RIGHT to go to any event she has?? And like any author, she doesn’t have to suffer the abuse of people who hate her? Hahahaahaaaaahahaaaa

By the way, if anyone is going to post photos of that Gryphen woman, please warn us?

Good. After the moonbat that tried to throw tomatoes at her at the Mall of America, I feared that the AK ankle biters and Levi Johnston would show at the Wasilla book signing to cause trouble.

Wait, is Gryphen the weird pedophile-esque type guy? Which one is the fat white chick who thinks shes living in a medieval renaissance fair?

You idiots are actually SURPRISED to find yourself on a list banning you from such events? What do you expect? If I were the Governor; I wouldn’t want you unstable b*stards anywhere near my family; especially my children.

Also something else i like about Sarah, is a sort of Viking leader ethos she has. I think she is physically tougher than her challengers. I think if we put them all in the cage, she would emerge last, and leave them all on the floor with bloody noses and aching groins.

I'm waiting for Andrew Sullivan who writes sludge for The Atlantic to come out with his piece about how sensitive and weak that Governor Palin is.
