The news media has been slow to report the emergency restraining order obtained Monday by former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin against 18 year old Pennsylvania man Shawn R. Christy. It took forty-eight hours for the national media to report on the court order, even though it was reported online by the local paper the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman on Tuesday.
Palin friend Kristan Cole also obtained a restraining order against Christy, who reportedly told Cole he had bought a gun and flown to Alaska in recent days.
This evening, the Associated Press quoted testimony Palin gave by telephone in the hearing Monday:
"Bottom line is, he is crazy and could kill me," Palin said, according to the court transcript. "He wants me dead."
Palin also testified that he also believes he has some kind of relationship with her daughter, Willow, and has brought up the girl's name.
The AP also quoted Palin's attorney Thomas Van Flein on the constant threats the Palin family has lived with since she came to national prominence two years ago:
Christy had "risen to the top of the dozens and dozens of people" who have threatened Palin since 2008, when she emerged on the national stage. "He stands out as the most persistent," trying to reach her through friends, associates and family members, he said.
Reuters also published their first article on the Palin stalker tonight, noting "Cole, like the former Republican vice presidential candidate, is from Wasilla and a former beauty pageant contestant."
The Frontiersman reported more details today:
Cole testified that Christy sent a letter in August 2010 saying that “he tried to follow the bible but had evil and wickedness in him.” She said Christy told her that he is convinced she is evil and must be punished.
“Petitioner is concerned because the respondent appears to be unstable and has stated that he believes petitioner is evil and that she needs to be punished and that he is coming to confront her to get her to tell the truth.”
Christy also claims to have had a sexual relationship with Gov. Palin, the documents say. “Petitioner testified that respondent has told her that he has had an affair with Gov. Palin and that petitioner needs to tell the FBI the truth about the affair.”
Palin testified that she has not had a sexual relationship with Christy, the filing stated.
AOL News reports on Christy's purported Facebook page that Christy was homeschooled and claimed to work for a Hazelton recycling company.
The constant stalking the Palin family lives under explains their visceral reaction to literary stalker Joe McGinnis moving into the home next door to the Palins last summer to work on a book about Sarah Palin.
The media's slow coverage of the threats to Palin are in keeping with their downplaying of the arson fire at her church in Wasilla after the 2008 presidential election.
Paging Joe the Plumber with a Plunger see if he can unstop this drain...
Indeed. The immaturity and madness of today’s Democratic Party and its butt brothers in the MSM are beyond description
She needs some serious prayers for protection from these misguided and evil people.
Hey Mr. Christy,
It would be a very, very bad move to even think of hurting any of the Palins.
Just sayin’ ;-)
The lamestream media will NEVER report this because they are hoping that something horrible happens to her. They have given this guy and others like him motivation to kill her. The words he spews, calling her evil, etc, sound familiar..its the same garbage we hear from the press everyday. Them saying how if she were to become President it would be Armageddon, that idiot Jack Cafferty said yesterday if she were to become President he would eat the CNN building(Bon Appetit Jack!) It takes ONE loon, one person out there sitting in front of their TV’s sets in their mama’s basement to say to themselves “Oh My God, I have to stop her from becoming President, I have to take her out” it just takes one to believe the crap from the media and do something terrible.
With Alaska law enforcement and the Secret Service involved, we civilians should stay out of this. Besides, who knows if an e-mail would set this guy off. Best to leave it to the pros.
Oh, I saw that post of yours before it was deleted. Was it a link to his FB page?
Exactly.
Yes, I pray for her protection from the LMS’s forces of evil and also from all those who desire to do her and her precious family harm.
If Catty Kouric can invent "Islamapbobia" and "0bamaphobia" we can have Sarahphobia.
She should start carrying whereever she goes....And if she does run and win the Presidency annonce a VP that the left will hate more as an insurance policy...(May I suggest Jim DeMint)
> “Sounds to me like even the demons in hell are frightened of Sarah. It almost goes without saying that Satan’s weak minded minions like RATs and the insane are frightened too.”

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
Right and like Rush constantly points out, Sarah Palin hasn’t ever done anything to incite hate. She hasn’t hurt or harmed anyone. Sarah is the all American patriot. I guess if you hate America and hate our Constitution, then you can hate Sarah Palin. Otherwise, go jump off that cnn building or eat it.
Zactly!
Sarahphobia.
I already knew you did. Me too.
We do have a wack job moderator here sometimes.
A restraining order won’t keep a paranoid schizophrenic away. I am sure the Palins are smart enough to know that. :-)
Okay, thanks. I knew it was personal information about him that included his email address, which FB often includes.
