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." ...

If Palin blacklisted all of her bashers the list of the MSM would be very long indeed.

Sarah should set up alternative "events" for her adversaries:

- deep sea fishing with Todd & Friends (don't worry about a little ice on the deck)

- deep woods hunting with Todd & Friends (put this female grizzly urine/estros on your clothes, it attracts the moose)

- Mt. McKinley climb with Todd & Friends (tell us again how much you hate Sarah, as we help you up this steep cliff)

etc.

Sarah is not a push-over. She has a right to protect herself from anyone
she don’t want around her AND her family.

Do you by any chance know if Jesse Gryphen is close personal friends with Andrew Sullivan, that wacko kook at The Atlantic who wrote such ugly nasty drivel about Governor Palin?

I'd love to see this blogging/msm riffraft get totally exposed, particularly any hidden connections between them and their hero, BHO.

There were Code Pink psychotic nuts who handcuffed themselves to politicians and even shouted at McCain during his presidential nomination.

Security details need to be present in this age of hate from the Left.

Good. Keep the scum far, far away, especially that Gryphen creep.”

If that perverted creep Gryphen came anywhere near me or my family, the only thing he is going to get is the weight of a baseball bat between his eyes.
He can count himself lucky Gov Palin is so tolerant.

If I were in charge of Sarah's security, these bloggers wouldn't be banned.

They'd be missing.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

If I were her, I’d send some large, unfriendly guys with bad breath to pay them a “personal visit”.

Good lord. When they find out they’re not getting their ‘holiday cards’ from Palin, they’ll probably be so upset they won’t be able to donate to the local abortion clinic. What a bunch of wankers.

What makes these bloggers think they need to be admitted to any event as members of the press? They are stalkers, and should be treated as such.

Only four. I’m sure there are other bloggers and MSM airheads who should be banned. This is great. I am sick and tired of conservatives trying to win over Democrat agents and MSM types who are only trying to make them look bad.

She should send the cops away and allow the disruptors in.

I'm pretty sure they would be mighty uncomfortable in heated "posturing" with a thousand angry Palin supporters waiting to get their books signed.

“That is an honor that I will wear proudly!”

If she thinks it’s an honor, she probably thinks threee day old skid marks are a climate change statement.

What if Sarah Palin suddenly visits a dinner in the White House with Obama and his minions.

What will Obama’s security do?

Gryphen is such an idiot.

Thank God that Sarah’s security people are well-organized and “fully aware”. These bloggers have been planning all the silly things just to humiliate Palin.

Leftists are dangerous. They have a track record of violence against both politicians and ordinary Americans.
