AP Interview: Author Leaving Home Next To Palins [Joe McGinniss]

"It's just a peculiar thing, but she does, as I found out in May, she presses a button and what comes back is hate," he said. "The people who respond when she complains about something are just so filled with hate. I got some of the ugliest, most vile e-mails directed at me, my grandchildren, my children, my wife — just ugly, ugly stuff."

As for his interviews, most people he approached in Palin's hometown were willing to speak, but he said there was what he calls an "undercurrent of fear."

"People — I don't know if they're afraid of shadows or whether there's something real there — she's no longer in a position of governmental influence but there are people up there who are scared to death to talk because if Sarah ever found out they talked, oh, something terrible would happen to them," he said.

"...I’m trying to figure out from reading that whether he’s that stupid, or whether he thinks the public and specifically Palin supporters are..."

Both.

I’m surprised he didn’t meet and stop some flying sticks of hickory and ash. His intentions were evil and evil meets evil.

I was born and raised in a small town. The locals may have their opinions about others in the community, and they all do, but sharing them with an “outsider”....that’s another matter. Re: “In Broad Daylight”

The problem is the dipsh*t who owns the house probably won’t sell it to the Palins. I say go through a middle man or make an off she can’t refuse. :)

“Why doesn’t she like a hack journalist, just trying to make a name for himself, who doesn’t like her, to buy a house next door to her and spy on her every move while at home, and turn every little thing I can find into a big deal or criticize anything I possibly can? She’s just a hateful b1tch.”

He could have just summed it up in two sentences.

Reports are that the owner hates Sarah, so probably would not sell to her. Some Palin supporter should breeze into town with a sizable offer for the property in order to have a nice quiet place to write a book. Then sell it to the Palins at cost. If I was a wealthy person, I would do that.

I would suggest if there is an undercurrent of fear, it may be of this reporter, and how he might twist and turn anything they might say.

"It's just a peculiar thing, but she does, as I found out in May, she presses a button and what comes back is hate."

This comment tells you all you'll ever need to know about this Palin-obsessed stalker's book. A slime job on a woman who is a practicing Christian, truly patriotic and very charismatic. Sarah Palin embodies everything the left hates about America and the middle class. Guys like Joe 'the stalker' McGinniss both loath and fear her because not only is she the antithesis of who they are (wimpy, atheist America-haters) but despite 2 years of vicious character assassination against Sarah Palin, she remains unbowed and unafraid. Note the stalker's snide remark about Palin running for president in 2012 "because God wants her to".

Unlike the clairvoyant Joe McGinniss, I have no idea whether Sarah Palin will run for president in 2012 but if she does, she'll have my vote and frankly, it would be quite enjoyable to watch the left's heads explode if she won. Their grip on political power is slipping fast and so is their control of the media, as the TV networks shrink, big-city newspapers die, left-wing talk radio fizzles and leftist news magazines are sold for a dollar. They are in panic mode and a Palin presidential candidacy would probably send them into hysterical, screaming fits.

Meanwhile, the stalker, McGinniss, will sell a few thousand copies of his Palin hit-piece books while Sarah Palin's autobiography 'Going Rogue' has sold close to 3 million copies to date. This, even though you know that every review of the McGinniss hit-piece book will be glowing and he'll be fawned over by all the liberal TV shows. No matter. Using Palin's name may help his book sales but it won't change the reality that Sarah Palin is authentic (something the left constantly attempts to disprove) and immensely popular - for good reason, she's 'one of us'.

The more that this clown, and the buffoon who wrote the magazine hit piece, try to tar Sarah as a profane, shrieking, vengeful dragon lady, the more they call up the exact image of the once and newfound darling of the left, and probable 2012 democrat presidential nominee, Hillary “Hell To Pay” Clinton.

In Sarah, such traits as Hillary has publicly exhibited, and which are thoroughly documented by sources who are named, are unacceptable, though they aren’t exactly cited as proof that she’s not qualified to run for president. In Hillary, though, they are presidential.

Sarah as Hillary. You gotta love it.

Wow. This guy is a real loser. Talk about building a narrative. I guess the citizens offer complete strangers multiple handguns because of the “fear” factor she has brought upon the citizens.

I imagine that’s the exact plan but isn’t the owner supposed to have some beef with Todd and Sarah and hence more interested in renting it to people who dislike them. Who next - National Enquirer? Moore? Gryphen? Dems will pick up the rental tab Ugh.

Only a stalker could somehow rationalize his victim as the oppressor.

The question now will the Palins just buy the house and turn it into a Hangar for Todd’s Supercub on Floats.

As soon as this creep is gone tomorrow, Todd should buy the rental house and then raze it to the ground, once and for all. Agreed. They need the space for security purposes, if nothing else.

The Northwestern White House security compound eventually.
