"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.

The creepiness of having a man of his nature move in beside you and attempt to observe and write about you is pretty horrific to consider. She and her family lived with this dirtbag next door for too long.

I suspect besides emails, way to many folks told him they respect Sarah. And I suspect way too meny folks told him to pack his dirty things and get lost. That stalking a celebrity for writing some kind of expose and making some money from it is genuinely unkind and dirty.

I also suspect he could find no filthy rags in her closet to throw in the faces of tea party folk.

And I suspect he is very afraid of an Alaskan winter, He is, after all, a male liberal.

Sarah should turn the tables and write about liberal men who wet their pants at the very sight of a real two legged mama grizzly and her cubs.

Well said. For some reason a distant bell rang here. I went back to Wikipedia and put in the name Jack London. A California man, born circa 1876. died 1916. Now he was a journalist and author. Sure he was socialistic and angry at the system, but then had reason to be.

Society kinder to weaker souls today in many ways. He went up to Alaska and actually took part in the gold rush. This you will probably know. The incredible adventures of this journalist, running 'em (gold miners) up the river in a hand built raft to the start of the trail, is something!. His books "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang" are epics.

Well please excuse the off topic post but...... Dammit, that kind of man did it and then wrote about it.

Buh-bye Vanity Fair.

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.

Your fear is real... you are smart to be afraid of real America loving patriots... we have had all of your fag libtard crap and your lying propaganda that we can stand... we have endured leftist lies from before cronkite all the way to you.

It is not Sarah that you should fear... it is the real American People... you saw us in DC recently... that was just the tip of a TAKE BACK AMERICA iceberg. One day you will pay for your lies... as will ALL of those that embrace the propaganda machine of the elite. There is no place to hide... we will shun you and your families... we will not do business with those that employ you... one day YOU will face the irs and other tools obama uses against us... we will not do business with you or those that do business with you... we will no longer accept your pc mantra... and if you try anything stupid like moving next to Palin to try to destroy her... we will destroy you asshole... just got a little taste of what will come if you and your cronies do not BACK OFF! WE THE PEOLE... learn it... live it... because that is what THIS is all about... jerk.

Yeah, and the absence of verifiable criminal dirt... He left because he didn't have enough material for a book.
No murders, no ugly divorces, no criminal partners, no drug running, no tax evasion.
It's hard to write an epic biography when the only witnesses are disgruntled democrats with uninteresting or unsubstantiated "facts."

Have to add: The Palins weren't home for much of the time and winter is coming so he's got to scoot on out of AK!

The fear he "sensed" was just good folks leery of talking to him and being misquoted, too!

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.

You are correct. The locals know this guy's sole purpose in talking to them is to "get something" on Palin. They're not afraid. What he's calling "fear" is simply his perception and projection of the distrust, cautiousness and loathing they actually feel towards him, but are too polite to tell him to his face.

Something tells me that Palin would take that into consideration and find someplace easier for the agents.

I really imagine she'd be very considerate towards those that protect her...like Reagan, who stayed in DC for Christmas so his agents could be near family. That is such a Sarah thing to do. :)

This from a guy who is a professional Palin stalker? Please. In the old days, they would have burned his house down and he would have been lucky to escape alive.

I hadn't thought about that. Yeah, only a blowhard journalist with no real sense of real people would mistake fear of him as fear of the "Barracuda."

I am old enough to remember this author-both books you mentioned were epic, and the 'Call of the Wild' was required reading in my school, back in the day.

I did not know he was a journalist as well and am glad to know this. Nor did I know ( or I have forgotten ) that he took actual part in a gold rush.

That takes great steel and I will be careful not to link all socialists ( using the cover title liberal ) into the same cesspool from now on (I mean, I will try-hee hee).

Nice side work, thanks.

No one would talk with him, because other than the ten or so members of the “alaska mafia” aka Palin haters, the rest of Alaska knows a scumbag when they see one.
