Palin Supporters Encourage Harassment of Alaska Judges? Palin v. Johnston Custody Case Takes a Nasty Turn.
Just when you thought things couldn’t sink any lower, they drain the pool and start digging.
There are new developments in the recently disclosed Bristol Palin v. Levi Johnston custody case. The Palin half of Palin v. Johnston wanted to keep the identities of the parties pseudonymous – Jane and John Doe. Of course, a custody hearing in Wasilla, Alaska between Jane Doe represented by Palin’s high-profile lawyer, and John Doe represented by Johnston’s equally high-profile lawyer couldn’t have stayed off the radar for long.
Palin’s argument was that the case would be traumatic for their 12-month old son Tripp. Johnston claimed that the trial, if kept secret, would allow the Palins to operate under the radar, allowing potential bad behavior from Sarah Palin in particular to occur out of the sunlight.
“I know that public scrutiny will simplify this matter and act as a check against anyone’s need to be overly vindictive, aggressive or malicious, not that Bristol would ever be that way, nor that I would. But her mother is powerful, politically ambitious and has a reputation for being extremely vindictive,” Johnston said in his affidavit. “So, I think a public case might go a long way in reducing Sarah Palin’s instinct to attack.”
His attorney, Rex Butler notes:
Embarrasing facts sometimes present themselves in cases involving custody. If the legislature chose to make any trial involving embarrasing facts subject to closure, nearly all the domestic violence hearings in this state would be sealed and private. This case presents a custody case with similar facts that attend open cases every day in the Alaska Court System. The plaintiff has failed to meet the test for either closure or the use of pseudonyms or a protective order and has not identified an evidentiary basis upon which to find closure necessary under a privilege rationale or for any other reason.
The judge ruled for open proceedings.
Sarah Palin’s group of supporters including controversial conservative radio shock jock Eddie Burke, and (you can’t make this stuff up) Palin’s Wasilla hairdresser, have decided to take action and help promote a campaign seemingly designed to harass the judges involved in Tripp’s custody case.

Others, outside of Alaska have created a Facebook Group with a posting as follows:
“Tripp is not a Political Football”
We want to thank everyone for their time and attention to this matter. Over the Holidays; Superior Court Judge Kari C. Kristiansen issued a ruling under the authority of Superior Court Judge Sharon Gleason. The ruling was a denial to keep the Custody dispute Between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston over 1 year old Tripp closed.
Judge Kristiansen sited there was no reason to keep this matter private. The Palin’s trying to keep the proceedings focused on Tripp, fought for the closing of the proceedings. Levi Johnston argued for an open proceeding. The Decision raises many concerns of Political Hanky Panky; but even more, cannot be justified to be in the best interest of a 1 year old child.
Both of the Judges are appointees of Former Governor Tony Knowles–(Democrat). Both of the Judges are up for retention. Fancy for Re-Appointment in 2010. [<---Editor's pick for best sentence in Facebook post] Both have been accused of activist liberal rulings prior.
The Law in Alaska without doubt provides for the closing of a proceeding. The best interest of the child, or other mitigating circumstances is the guide. There is no question both elements are in play here.
We here believe this decision is either one of the worst in Alaskan History; or is in fact: a Politically motivated attempt to harm or perhaps payback Sarah Palin. Perhaps elements of both could also be correct. Barracuda Brigade for Our American Girl! 2012 has decided, since the Judges want a public proceeding; to give them one.
This the address for both Judges. [removed] 2004–Attn: Judge Sharon Gleason/Attn: Judge Kari C. Kristiansen
Judge Gleason’s phone: 907-***-****
Judge Kristiansen’s phone: 907-***-****The Judicial Review Commission of Alaska is set-up in a way, that any protest to them would be handled in this situation by: Judge Sharon Gleason—yep–that is why she had Judge Kristiansen hand down the decision.
The next level up is the Governor, Sean Parnell. His phone is–907-465-3500, fax–907-465-3532. See link below; under contact: will take you to his e-mail.
The “Tripp is not a Political Football” protest will formally begin on Thursday Jan. 7th at 12pm. cst. We ask all concerned to call, fax and e-mail Governor Parnell: also to call and write both Judges and let them know: Patriots across America find your actions a disgrace to the Judicial system. That our concerns are being directed to the Governor’s Office.
The actual Court record will be available shortly, along with the list of retention.
We thank you for your time and concern—-Dave & Alicia
A formal protest of a custody case, including apparent telephone harassment and the identification of the physical location of judges by “patriots across America?” Whipping up a political frenzy while claiming the best interest of the child you’re trying to protect from a political frenzy?
Local political watchdog Linda Kellen Biegel at the blog Blue Oasis, who has frequently been on the receiving end of the wrath of Palin supporters was concerned enough to craft the following letter to a number of law enforcement agencies in the state:
“I was not sure who has jurisdiction over this issue, but I wanted folks to be aware that there is a push across the Internet involving Facebook and Twitter (and now posted on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page) to contact/harass the two Judges in the Palin v. Johnston custody case: Superior Court Judge Kari Kristiansen in Palmer and Presiding Judge Sharon Gleason in Anchorage.
They have their office phone numbers and the Anchorage office address published on a Facebook Fan Page and are encouraging everyone to start contacting them on January 7th through a Facebook “protest” page.
(Inclusion of text)
As someone who still receives regular (almost daily) harassment from these folks, I know that it isn’t a question of “if” but “when” someone actually makes a threat against one or both of these judges.
Three of the people pushing this within the State of Alaska are:
–Wasilla hairdresser Jessica Steele from Beehive Hair Salon. From her @JessicaBeehive Twitter page:

RT @ArcticFox2012: Patriots: Provided here R Names–Address’s—Phone Numbers of the 2 Judges in the Bristol Palin… http://bit.ly/6nwRH3
–another is KBYR talk show host Eddie Burke–from his @TalkRadioHost Twitter page:
@JessicaBeehive lets keep these ph num going!! its important to keep pressure on judges
I wanted to give a “head’s up” to whatever agency is in charge because, quite frankly, I know how extreme these folks can be.
Linda Kellen Biegel”
Biegel notes the recent report discussed on CNN and the AP regarding the spike in threats against judges and prosecutors.
The report by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine concluded there are still major gaps in reporting and responding to threats. Concerns about security for judges intensified five years ago after the husband and mother of a federal judge in Chicago were killed by a man angry over a court ruling.
Between 2003 and 2008, the number of threats and inappropriate communications jumped from 592 to 1,278, the report found. The government defines “inappropriate communications” as messages that aren’t explicitly threatening but worrisome enough to require further investigation.
What will actually happen on January 7th at noon Central Standard Time remains to be seen, but one thing in certain. Sarah Palin’s divisive influence and ability to fan the flames of anger and vitriol among her supporters continues, and enters uncharted territory. Let’s hope we see a Facebook post from her condemning this national campaign against Alaskan judges.
A political frenzy protesting the possibility of a political frenzy is the equivalent of “stop hitting yourself”.
Once again, Quittypants cranks up the “Look At Me” machine, and The real issues and the consequences of all this drama to the participants all get thrown under the bus. Way to stay classy, S’error!
Oh for crying out loud, will they ever get a grip…?
wazzup with the Central Time? is Alaska in the Midwest now?
Adapting the old lawyers’ adage…..
If the facts are with you, argue the facts.
If the law is with you, argue the law.
If neither is with you, have grammy whip up her nutty base of people who have no standing in the process and sic them on the neutral arbiters who will deciding who should have custody of your baby.
So dignified, and such a wonderful example of the household’s interest in keeping innocents safe.
“Let’s hope we see a Facebook post from her condemning this national campaign against Alaskan judges.”
I don’t think I’m going to hold my breath on this one…
geez.
Time for law enforcement to step in, I’d say. (Or psychiatrists, maybe?)
@ In Juneau
Nope! Kick back and watch the stupidity multiply, like hangers in the closet. Speaking of closets, Sarah’s skeletons are getting restless. They want to be in the limelight, too, also! And they really hate that red chenille bedspread she threw in there for dress up. It tickles their bony noses and makes them sleepy all at once.
sarah and her minions best shut their pie-holes. Family Court already gave her a little talkin’ to. What a dumbf^*k.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/158140
I believe that making threats against judges is a federal offense. Please correct me if I am wrong, but if these rabid supporters go too far, as they have previously with Linda, then I think they will be receiving some visits from not so cordial law enforcement officials.
There is a way to advocate for a position without this type of viral hatred and anger spewing forth.
Even an educated person can become an ignorant buffoon when engrossed within the hatred of the Palin world. What is it about that world that drives them to become the lowest common denominator. (pondering only, one has to even Try to answer That one!) LOL
Wow…..that’s about all I can come up with at the moment…..Wow.
I’m no legal expert, but I’m pretty sure it is against the law to harass or try to influence a judge. Hmmmm….and to post their phone numbers on line promoting harassing/influencing calls???? Hmmmmm again. Any legal eagles here who can address this?
“Tripp is not a Political Football”
However, tripping in the game of football is politic.
@ Martha UYS–LOL! Got any popcorn to share? I’ll bring the butter!
The newsweek article is absolutely priceless! austin, fabulous, thanks about bringing to our attention!
I wonder if Palin will come out and tell her fans to “leave her kids alone”.
nope…don’t think so.
Seattlefan, seems right to me. I would like to hear a legal opinion on this too. I can’t imagine that it’s legal to harass a judge, try and influence them, and encourage others to call by posting their numbers online. This is a civil matter, no less.
Disbelief and also WoW! Just when you think people can’t sink any lower they exceed your expectations exponentially. There sure is a lot of stupid going around up there in Wasillaland.
How can this possibly have any effect on a one year old child. If the child is there, he will hear the fighting anyway- I would hope they would keep him home. If he isn’t there the child is one year old- who is going to tell him what the press is saying and explain it to him? He isn’t in preschool or school- this can’t be about protecting the child. He won’t be old enough to understand this stuff for many years and by then it will be old news. Anyone can see who this is about.
$arah wants to protect her privacy and her vindictiveness. I hope they keep it public so she will have to rein in her mouth. I can bet that it will become sealed- if it goes to Parnell. They still haven’t released the e-mails. This is more of the same.
I’ve been reading your blog for about a year, never commented before, and this is the first time that I am truly dumbfounded by the stupidity of her followers. Not that I haven’t been flabbergasted in the past, but this takes the cake.
If I were Serror’s hairdresser I would never admit it.
Would you take credit for that rat’s nest ?
I’m just saying.
This is the kind of crap that drove an unhinged idiot to murder Dr. Tiller. It’s not funny, it’s not cute, it’s dangerous and somebody needs to do something about it. These sort of threats need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law & instigators of it need to also be prosecuted, that means you, hate-mongering brainless one. The only thing she’s good for is stirring up the unwashed ignorant masses, she’s like a female hitler.
Wow. And some still see her as a viable 2012 candidate? Are you kidding me?!
In Pennsylvania, and I expect in Alaska and all the other states, lawyers who appear before trial judges (whether in criminal court, civil court, family court), appellate judges, or administrative law judges/bankruptcy judges – learn very quickly that if you publicly criticize, ridicule, file an ethics complaint against, or in any manner attack a judge, his or her fellow judges band together and there will be severe, albeit unofficial negative consequences for you, your present client, your future clients and the rest of the lawyers in your law firm, along with their clients. The judicial system demands unquestioning (and yes, sometimes undeserved) respect and decorum from participants.
As an example of how extreme this judicial circle-the-wagon-mentality is, in Pennsylvania, the state Judicial Conduct Board is charged with investigating claims of misconduct by judges. In 2006, they received numerous complaints and information that two “rogue” judges had sentenced hundreds of teenagers found guilty of relatively minor charges (like truancy) to a privately operated detention facility, which gave the judges payoffs. The Judicial Conduct Board passed along the complaints to federal prosecutors but allowed the two judges to continue to remain on the bench for two years, during which time hundreds more youths were unfairly sent to jails or detention facilities. The 2 ex judges pleaded guilty but the US District Judge rejected the plea deals, ruling that the judges hadn’t accepted responsibility for their actions. They are awaiting trial on federal racketeering charges.
In the Palin v. Johnston case, the judge seems to be equitably holding the ex-governor’s daughter to the same standard as applies to everyone else under state law and judicial procedure.
If Palin’s whackjob supporters follow through on this, I think it will contribute to a negative outcome for the Palins in this custody case and in any other cases they are or may become party to in the Alaskan court system.
After the Van Flein tweet quote in a court filing got the hoots it deserved, it seems like most people would be wary of saying “person P tweeted T”. The set-up and/or hacking of twitter is just too easy. Although I have no doubt that the tweets Celtic Diva quoted are from the people given, it seems better to rise above the level of Van Flein.
I usually don’t comment on $P’s appearance (except on the remarkably flat belly during “pregnancy”) but one of my two favorite comments from last fall was from someone with Granny or Grandma in her name who posted about $P something along the lines of “this is what happens when you let a straight do your hair” which cracks me up every time I think of it.
That photo of the Beehive woman is not a good ad for her services, whatever they might be. If her services include doing something illegal, I hope the local law enforcement grows some b@lls and does something about doing their law enforcement job.
(The other favorite comment was from MadSkillz Son and was about the “GOP going down like a cheap hooker”, and lo and behold, they have, and as AKM said, they drained the pool and kept digging.)
Aren’t these people just proving that Levi was correct?
The Palin abuse-of-power machine will be put into full gear and it SHOULD be public because these are the kinds of stunts they will use to try an influence the judges and the outcome of the case.
I am trying to be elitist. Feck off Sarah.
AKM has not posted this in her story up above but it has been posted to the Huffpo as of now. Leave a comment… and an opinion.

BTW : I am listening to Eddie right now to see what Sarah ( Bristol – this is ONLY an issue between Bristol and Levi.. not my Mom ) dad, Chuck may say.
Eddie just started ” SCREAMING ” at a listener who disagreed with him… never would have seen THAT coming. Wes Keller is his guest right now.
Irishgirl, I am always astounded with yer talent fer discrete understatement.
A Facebook posting? Oh, yes. To condemn the threatening behavior of her minions? Oh, no. She has more important things to write about, such as her in-depth knowledge of terrorism and foreign affairs (IM has her post). And of course she has to ridicule how the President is handling terrorism because she, Scarah Paylin, certainly knows more about the subject than he does. And he has to stop being a constitutional scholar, yah know, because that’s not what the country needs. Well, Scarah, what this country does NOT need is a liar and a quitter and a fraud and a grifter and an ignorant, unintelligent, illiterate, inarticulate mental case. I swear, I am not an evil person, but everyday I pray that someone comes forth and exposes your lies before you do any more damage to our country.

What, Palin and her remoras making a bad situation worse for themselves? Perish the thought!
Not likely that Palin will denounce this effort since she has allowed them to promote this protest group on her Facebook page since 1/4/10 @ 3:56 PM. I reported the posting to her moderator on 1/5/10 at approximately 1:30 CST and the post is still there.
So much for Bristol’s claim that Sarah is not involved in the custody case.

None of these callers are going to get through to the actual judges, of course. They will be speaking with/ e-mailing to front line court workers whose job it is to filter out the nuts, report questionable and threatening messages to the proper authorities, and pass on only legitimate court business to the judges. And these court workers tend to be very good at their jobs and professional. However, the judges will know it is happening because it is also these court workers’ job to let them know.
Mr. Van Flein may discover that he gets a very frosty reception the next time he appears on any matter, Palin-related or not, if he does not take steps to stop this “protest”.
Oh, and there WILL be increased court security because of this. In Canada, that has included RCMP sharpshooters posted and friskings for all (including lawyers and clients) in addition to the usual metal detectors. What might happen in the trigger happy US I could not guess.
I’m dumbstruck. . .
Read Palin’s recent post on facebook. LOL. Perhaps Palin should be happy she is no longer the pretending Gov in Chief. There is actually a real Gov in Chief apparently in Alaska.
Can any one say “IRONY.” She should fire the woman who is posting for her on fb. It is sad for a person to quit and then act as an authority of what????
A couple of thoughts other than how stupid it is.
Do you really want a group named “Barracuda Brigade for Our American Girl! 2012″ supporting you.
What exactly do they think a governor can do regarding the state judicial system. I guess separate branches of government is to lofty a concept.
If Former 1/2 Term Gov wasn’t pulling the strings behind the scenes to harass the judges, then she should come out publically to tell her puppets to stand down.
Without a public admonishment from her – I will hope the judges understand exactly “who is behind” the curtain & go after her.

Bristol and anything she does and says is fair game. She is an adult , and now by golly , a real live bidness woman………pf-f-ft.
You are quite right – you can’t make this stuff up. The Backroom Bimbo really does seem to have a disconnect between reality and what is perceived. What’s to hide if nothing is out-of-line? The more this little piggy squeals, the more it is evident that she has more than a crooked tail – more like a crooked tale. Idiotic woman. She has become a waste of time.
After reading $P’s latest FB (obviously ghost-written) submission…..I’m with Irishgirl and share her sentiment exactly!!
PennLawyer, thanks for the insights.
Regarding her hairstylist…I do believe that woman thinks she is a celebrity. Good Gawd, she can’t even “do” hair in a style from this century. Hillbilly Hair is what she should call her shop.
I think the Palin’s are accustomed to getting their way and bullying everyone who stands in their way. But guess what? She is no longer the governor…she quit. She has no power. She may find that she can’t bully the judges. Well, let’s hope.
“We here believe this decision is either one of the worst in Alaskan History….”
*****************************************************************************
Um-m-m-m………NO. Electing sarah Governor and unleashing her on the rest of the world is numero uno.
UNbelievable. What idiot publicly encourages people to threaten a judge? Somebody needs to be put under the jail for a long time.
Geez, so now the lemmings are pulling the Orly Taitz move on judges in Alaska. Just last year Orly’s loon followers did the exact same thing to a Federal judge: Judge Carter in the 9th circuit. Needless to say his court personnel deflected the calls and faxes and emails but the judge WAS made aware. In fact he lambasted Taitz in court for their behavior, told her to tell them to knock it off and stated that any calls from said people would go directly to answering machine and then deleted! It was great theater and did not end well for Taitz. Taitz’s goons also pulled the same stuff with Judge Land in GA Fed district. In fact one of the loons challenged the judge to fisticuffs on the court house steps! Again all did not go well for Taitz.
Sarah’s minions would do well to learn from those 2 examples. Judges do not take kindly to an utter lack of respect and many do make the lawyer pay. I hope they realize that the only person that could possibly be hurt by this could be Bristol.
So now Sarah’s minions will be known as the followers of Sarah Orly Taitz Barracuda Palin…unhinged, dangerous and incredibly stupid.
(psssst Bristol, your mom’s supporters are kinda screwing it up for your chances to gain ANY custody of Tripp. I’d highly suggest you have a little talk with mommy dearest, then advise her (and your) attorney to post a nice letter on mommy’s facebook page about how all should butt out of your custody drama.)
Even more reason to have an open trial and not to have anything private. Palin should be ashamed of herself. I cannot wait for Levi to expose the truth on Bristol’s alleged drug use, alcohol abuse, and what the Palin family is really like. He should get custody of the baby and hopefully LOTS of money in child support. Would rather have a baby with him than near a Palin.
If anything happens to this judge, I hope that his family sues Burke and Palin’s hairdresser for fueling the flames in my opinion.
Her fans are thugs.
Sarah feels she is above the law. It’s time for the court to correct her.
Popcorn, anyone?
Gryphen at IM accused “Rebecca Mansour, with a possible assist by her toady Tim Lindell” of writing the Palin Facebook entries.
Don’t expect brillance from those two.
Some good comments here and this is an interesting case in point.
We know that as governor an involved party abused her power to influence law enforcement in an extrajudicial fashion in a similar case but got away with it entirely.
This “activism” simply substantiates and underscores the apprehensions expressed by Johnston arguing against anonymity. However, all evidence points to the foregone conclusion on the part of the ex-governor that she will get away with it again.
Before anyone becomes overly optimistic about the unimpeachability of the judicial branch I refer you to the heinous “not to be taken as precedent” decision of the SCOTUS that appointed the worst president in history.
Not that this case will ever rise to that level. Like all delusional tyrants it takes time and experience to fine tune the ability to incite a minority of fanatics to intimidate a majority of people who just want to be left alone.
I am only speculating here, but I think the custody issue is indeed very important to the Palins because it is their desire that they have a free hand in indoctrinating the child with their dominionist religion and sense of self-righteous infallability.
I am more interested in the outcome of the evironmental meeting tonight but I couldn’t resist making a comment on this because it is so outrageous.
Cheers,
Hitler, cough, I mean Sarah, and her SS army of palinbots seem to have a love for everything against what Christ represents. This following of hers demonstrates a very disturbing trend. Who in their wildest dreams would have thought we’d live to see this crazy whacky reactionary event take place like this. For the love of an ex-governor no less. This isn’t a mafia-related federal case, or a drug-related bikers’ gang court case going on here.
A judge’s decision to hold a custody hearing open to the public is the law practicing, deciding, upholding what they deem right for an innocent child.
The ex-governor has a very mean cruel streak if she’s enjoying this. All she’d have to do is to condemn this action on her facebook like AKM suggests. But the silence is deafening.
Well her supporters just validated the basis to keep this open and public. Palin supporters, cronies, and fans are wack jobs planning to threaten the judge.
I read Bristols’ plea and golly gee whiz, she doesn’t have a single concrete reason to restrict Levi from helping raise and see his own son. Perhaps S’error is as other’s claim, just very mean spirited and vengeful.
Once I look up the email address for the actual sitting Gov. of AK, Sean Parnell, I am going to send him a very thoughtful message …without ranting.
The mere fact that He would allow his Judicial Judges to be attacked by the general public in a premeditated ‘ open ‘ way and do nothing about it does not speak well for his moral duties as a regular citizen and of those as the
” Chief Executive Officer ” for the State. DO your job.
Up till now…He has chosen to turn his back and pretend it is not happening.
The fact that the EX-Govs. own Father supports this and is a willing participant is in direct contrast to the statement
” This is not about my Mother “.
Allowing a bunch of yahoos drunk with power to run roughshod
( disregarding the Laws ) in His State is a reflection of his ability to govern effectively…. as a Leader. He should be ashamed.
I am at a loss for words to describe her and her followers. Oh…ok, they make my esophagus work backwords when thinking of her and her little flying monkeys. Please make her move back to Idaho…sorry Idaho, but please take her and her family back. We need a break from her and her ilk up here in Alaska.

Always glad to hear from you on whatever topic. Your wisdom is legendary here. However, I hope that in this case, petty as it is, the judges will in fact be neutral, insofar as it is possible, given the huge insult that is scheduled to come their way at 12:00 noon AK time tomorrow. To be frank, I think that AK has some pretty level-headed judges, and they will take this in stride, never forgetting that Tr!pp’s best interests are to be the most important in any decision.
I’m shocked, i tell ya..Shocked!! LMBO
This is a very serious issue. I am going to recommend some reading on a previous case that sounds like this one. The story begins in 2000 when Matthew Hale, a white supremacist leader came before Judge Joan Lefkow in Chicago.
During the case, internet threats were placed against the judge’s family, with her address and photos of her family posted on-line by members of Hale’s group. Long story short, after five years, death threats and guards, Judge Lefkow came home in 2005 to find her mother and husband murdered. The man was eventually found, committed suicide confessing to the murder, and claiming to have found the information on-line. (He had his own grudge against the judge). Lefkow has testified to Congress about the problems of providing protection to judges who have been threatened.
Reports abound of other judges who have received threats from many different people and places. This is just one very sad example. And, it ought to serve as a warning to the people posting threats and addresses that actions have consequences. The threats to judges are a way to subvert the legal system.
You will find Parnell or SP2 at http://www.alaska.gov/
Back during the primary elections, Rush Limbaugh told his listeners to do some illegal stuff like changing their voter registration from Repub to Democrat in order to vote for Hillary, thus defeating Obama (since McCain had already been chosen as the Repub nominee). It was called Operation Chaos.
Rush Limbaugh, the radio personality, told people to do illegal stuff and they did it. Rush didn’t do it, because he knows better plus he has money and lawyers to get him out of jail.
The Palin fans should think about twice about what they’re willing to do in the name of Sarah. The election is over – Sarah lost, then she quit her job. She’s not worth going to jail for. It’s not even her baby, so get over it.
First time ever—I am listening to this Eddie Burke character. Blech! worse than I even imagined!
Chuckie is up soon–not sure I’ll make it through that!
Once again, I find myself thinking that whatever Levi has on her he has recorded somehow and stored someplace safe just in case. I wouldn’t put it beyond them to threaten him too.
I can’t decide whether the hairdresser looks more like Adam Lambert or like Edward Scissorhands.
Eddie is just now saying that he is involved with a ‘ case ‘ where he is just speaking out… as per her 1st Amendment rights. Bashing the judges about they are appointed Democrats.
Eddie says… ” It’s JUST an attempt to embarrass the Palins.”
Talking about the FB page set up. Eddie says people are calling the Beehive Shop. ” They are buggin this lady at her work “… at her bidness. ”
Say’s it is all about Alinsky’s Rules.
Eddie is now all into trashing Celtic Diva… saying people should call CD’s husband at his work.
Commercial break…
This guy is nuckinfuts…just like $carah and her Fans!
yep–wanting Linda’s hubby’s work number…wants to harrass him!
Sounds like time for me to go make a donation at Celtic Diva’s
Why won’t these people just go away?
This is very upsetting. Not the America I know.
The idea of “disagreeing” on “issues” is out the window; it’s all about victimhood and vindictiveness.
Truly, I pray that Ms. Palin sees fit to stop the madness before someone gets hurt or killed.
Sounds like it’s time to call the cops.
One day…..all Palin’s associations with this Eddie guy will come back and bite her in the arse.
Problem Child,
I am sure AK has some good judges. I did not mean to imply that they would fold up in this instance. What I was trying to point out was that the Scotus decision in 2000 gave the extreme right wing virtually unbounded boldness.
I think that Palin’s currency is a direct consequence of that kind of stage management. She is nothing but a puppet of the moneyed interests. They gave her a few million by publishing her so-called book and now she is going to snowplow Johnston just like she did every other opponent in her past. It might actually work on Johnston because after all he is just a kid.
One hopes of course, one day, she will be called to account for her misdeeds by an ediface she cannot cow or outspend.
One hopes for many things and few come true.
Cheers,
This stuff is pretty scary. Just a reminder that Dr. Tiller was murdered this year for his stand on providing safe abortions to his patients and was targeted by another group of zealots. Sarah’s fanbase sounds much like those nutcases who killed him and felt just as righteous.
Cult worship can often lead to some very dangerous actions. I would take this group seriously. As we all know too well, some of her most ardent supporters look and act like screwballs and would not for a minute hesitate to “protect” her if the moment presented itself.
Creepy.
Even here in the mostly red state of Georgia, threatening a judge would bring the GBI knockin’.
Eddie just gave out Gleasons phone number on air… said to call her.
Eddie thinks by removing the gag order… they are attempting to turn it into a ‘ circus ‘…. uh yeah.
Not at all like that book tour carnival that rolled through town after town last month.
I sure hope JUDGE Gleason asks Eddie to visit her Courtroom.
Agree with PJ @71. This cult worship is dangerous.
I believe that far too many of her fans are seriously deranged, and perfectly capable of violence towards those they disagree with.
I’m sure Sarah, Eddie and the hairdresser will pay bail and legal fees for all their followers. You bet’cha.
OMG! Stick to your guns Levi! This Sara girl is a Witch!
Alaska Law- see D below…
AS 11.56.510. Interference With Official Proceedings.
(a) A person commits the crime of interference with official proceedings if the person
(1) uses force on anyone, damages the property of anyone, or threatens anyone with intent to
(A) improperly influence a witness or otherwise influence the testimony of a witness;
(B) influence a juror’s vote, opinion, decision, or other action as a juror;
(C) retaliate against a witness or juror because of participation by the witness or juror in an official proceeding; or
(D) otherwise affect the outcome of an official proceeding; or…
———————————
b) Interference with official proceedings is a class B felony.

Hoping the agencies Diva contacted look at this from this angle as well as with concern for judges’ safety.
Wow, it is getting bad up there! I need to make some contributions to my favorite bloggers also. This is insane and I hope the law comes down on Eddie and the hairdresser – sounds like some kind of old English 60′s band song
Keep safe in the frozen north!
Wow. That Burke is a real piece of work, huh? I hope the judge gets a few calls….a few nasty calls. And I hope that judge acts upon those calls and that it comes back to Mrs. Todd Palin. I’m sure the judges up there know exactly what they are dealing with insofar as the Heath/Palin brigade.
You know the saying: Give ‘em enough rope….
honestyinGov @ 73 -
Whoa !! Wonder what Eddie’s boss has to say ’bout this buffoonery ??
Is anybody RECORDING his show????
Eddie better never have to be in Family Court for ANY reason. Judges don’t forget.
From Alaska statutes regarding Class B felonies:
(d) Except as provided in (i) of this section, a defendant convicted of a class B felony may be sentenced to a definite term of imprisonment of not more than 10 years, and shall be sentenced to a definite term within the following presumptive ranges, subject to adjustment as provided in AS 12.55.155 – 12.55.175:

This is quite a compelling story.
I can see this maniacal support from SP’s minions backfiring on Bristol’s plan to derail Levi as a part of Tripp’s life. (Go Levi)
It also sheds a clear light on how SP is the puppet master behind Bristol & her Facebook/Twits.
I can’t imagine growing up with such a “mother”, but I think it is too late for Bristol to break free of this craziness.
I am hoping that Levi will now get a healthy chunk of child support from Brisol’s new career $$$ along with his partial custody of his son.
I hope that everyone has a safe & enlightening week!
Thanks justafarmer !! Maybe Eddie’s boss needs to get a few calls. Since Eddie is so cavalier in shouting out work numbers on air and s^*t………just sayin’.
One need only refer back to Palin’s Ethics Violations during the Troopergate case to know that she will stop at nothing to get her way. She didn’t back off even after being warned by another judge. The judges in the custody case must be well aware of her vindictive nature — they already did the right thing by keeping the proceedings open to the public.
This will bite her in the butt. She’s not even supposed to be involved — and here, she’s calling for actions against the judges. I hope they throw the book at her. Better yet, award sole custody to Levi to protect this poor child from a life of compulsive lying, evil, vindictiveness and most of all, stupidity.
In spite of the rabid followers who are misguided enough to try to influence the courts (please someone! look up “impartial” in the dictionary) – I have to believe that SP stands to lose more of her ‘base’ with this custody case. This case that was started by the Palins.
AFIK, Father’s Rights are pretty high up in the conservative agenda. Of course, child custody conflicts and issues are hurtful regardless of one’s interest in politics, but my observation has been that the politcal/social movement is grounded in the GOP/Teabagger corner. Wasn’t WAR- the Ross AG nominee a big Father’s rights advocate, correct? Weren’t one of the groups displaying materials at the Wasilla book signing focused on this issue as well?
It seems to me that SP is not ‘walking the walk’ for parental rights in her own family. [Also, perhaps she has missed any and all references to the power of forgiveness in her Bible and church attendance. but that's a whole 'nother story.]
Personally, I don’t even understand why Bristol Palin filed for full custody – even a layperson knows that parents will get some sort of joint custody unless there is very clear evidence of abuse and probable harm. So she’s begun something more adversarial than necessary and then wants to hide behind the baby? [refrain from baby-prop comment here.]
Kudos to the judge. Who had foresight into how Palin and her gang would attempt to intimidate the court. Good thing for Levi, this is all out in the open.
By doing this they will close the proceedings. That is the goal. What judge is goiong to keep it open after this????…..
THEY will win……… mho
Propagating harassment against anyone sounds like a lawsuit to me.
This harrassment pursit towards the judges overseeing Palin-Johnson custody case is very frightening. Watching 2008 Sarah Palin in action during the presidential campaign, I am not least bit surprised. Sarah Palin recognized she has talent to cause lots of folks to become unruly and act aggressive when she entices crowd with her words. And as researched, what she said was fact checked and I discovered not true almost all of the time.
Sarah Palin presently does more than likely have backing of some US rich Republicans. Planning for 2012 is already underway. Book tour, speaking engagements, visiting some states, etc. Political strategy was more than likely sole reason for resignation from being governor.
Shockingly now – she has her followers harrassing Alaskan judges for her. Harrassing judges is quite dangerous. Can become quite dangerous. I feel if she does nothing to quiet her followers, by all appearances she is most certainly approving their actions. Political strategy at play once again. Strategy for combating open to public trial.
Is FBI aware of all of this??? What branch of government protects the security of the judges???
AKM writes:
Let’s hope we see a Facebook post from her condemning this national campaign against Alaskan judges.
Wishful thinking. Not only will we not see a Facebook post from her condemning this behavior, she has allowed the post by Alicia Fix Luke who is the co-creator of this “protest” to stay up on her Facebook page for everyone to see. This is in essence her way of praising this behavior. If you are unwelcome on her page you are tossed off in an instant and banned, so by allowing this to stay up, she is agreeing with it.
Wakeup: I so agree! Scarah can stop this but of course she wont. This keeps her in the spotlight once again! Negative attention to her is better than no attention!
So they say the the judge sited? What was the judge out surveying land? Did they mean cited? Nope, they support a woman whose father was a science teacher but doesn’t know the difference between eons and ions, so they meant sited. As far as Eddies boss goes, this is the same Eddie Burke who gave out the phone numbers of two women who were organizing an anti-Palin rally last year, encouraging his listeners to call the women who he called, if I remember correctly, “babykillers” and “maggots”. He got a slap on the wrist. What will they do now? Send him to bed without dinner? Actually looking at his picture, good idea. And I know what Eddie will say, “I wasn’t encouraging anyone to do anything wrong”. Riighhtt.
Wow! This is turning into another fiasco and upon reading the blog I got an nauseous. I honestly think this going to end up badly.

I wonder what the FCC thinks about Eddie The Idiot advocating the harassment of judges and private citizens during broadcast time.
I wonder what the FCC thinks about Eddie The Idiot giving out the private phone numbers of private citizens during broadcast time.
Does Eddie The Idiot know that harassing people by telephone is a criminal offense? Here in pennsyltucky, harassment by telecommunication device is punishable by fines and jail time.
Wonder how Justin McDonald and KBYR ownership would react if the FCC came a-calling or decided not to renew that radio station’s broadcast license. Could someone ask when their license is up for renewal and post that date? Once we know that, let’s write a few letters to the folks who make that decision – the FCC. Let’s exercise OUR 1st AMENDMENT RIGHTS by telling the FCC how objectionable Eddie The Idiot has become.
Amazing. Will wonders ever cease?
I thought after Palin left the campaign trail that news out of Alaska would return to standard stuff. Yeah, sure, we’d here more about Palin’s adventures with her political ambitions and all. But this? My my my.
I hope the good people in Alaska’s legal system put a stop this harassment of judges right now!

You have a valid reason to be concerned especially after the court shooting this weekend. Where’s a good state trooper when you need one? Maybe Wooten needs to be sent out to haul Eddie The Idiot and some of his fly-by-night friends to the pokey.
btw… anyone know if Eddie The Idiot gets his show into podcast form?? I’d like to forward it to the FCC’s enforcement division.
It’s pretty obvious the Palins wanted this under the radar not for Tripp, but to keep things out of the public eye, say inconvenient things like baby birth certificates that don’t match up with birth dates given to the public to cover other lies. There is a lot of info that could be embarrassing to Sarah Palin and even Bristol that could come out of a trial like this. The funny thing is, the Palins were so sure they had control of things, they are the ones that pushed this event. I’m sure Sarah never thought this case would see the light of day and the public eye.
Eddie Burke – you not only deserve to eat dog poo, you are the usual whack job offending hypocrite regarding the right to gather and the right to free speech.
http://www.adn.com/3182/story/527362.html
I would say that you disgust me, but I have more than a gut feeling that for you that’s a compliment of sorts. I think you’ll find that maggot after all if you take a closer look in the mirror – after all, it’s what your kind do – projecting your failings on others.
Eddie has a podcast at KBYR
I hope the courts stand firm, I hope the FBI hauls the instigators into custody and carrys out an extensive investigation. I hope any who show up to protest are arrested. I hope that when the arrested try to find lawyers to help them out, none will agree to represent them. For God’s sake, a court house in Vegas was shot up yesterday, one law enforcement officer was killed!
If I were making a decision on custody, I would be very fearful that the Palin home is unsafe. The individuals devoted to SP are threatening, appear cult like and the smell of danger abounds. It seems readily recognizable that SP is inciting the unbalanced worshippers and when they get wound up to a frenzy, she does not wisely use her influence over them to slow and calm them.
I would think that the Palin home would be considered unsafe for minors, all minors. I would get those kids out of that home immediately.
Please call the radio station and constantly everyone call the police and the State Troopers and let all the papers know of this harrassment. I pray for Levi that nothing happens to him in state or out.
It is now time for Levi to pull SP’s hold card.
there’s also a KBYR content comment email addy: myopinion@kbyr.com
I would also hope the judges take note that it is NOT Levi supporters who are attempting to influence the courts.
Philip Munger has it up on his blog Progressive Alaska too:

Eddie was suspended in 2008 for giving out phone numbers. http://crooksandliars.com/2008/09/16/alaskan-host-eddie-burk-suspended-for-on-air-remarks
Now he’s encouraging his listeners to commit class B felonies. He should get fired and forbidden from the airwaves.
Still looking for when the license is up for renewal.
Chilling. This is all terribly chilling. Tank is more than worth his weight, I think. Hold your ground and take ‘em down, I say, timidly from my safe home.

Eddie doesn’t care. His most recent tweets prove it.

He enjoys this behavior and the radio station is more than happy to allow him to get away with it because after all it is a very conservative station. We like to think that they are somehow different because of Shannyn and Rishi, but in all honesty they are are the only decent things on that station.
Eddie can’t change who and what he is. Nor does he want to.
Burke’s twitter from earlier this eve:
*** u guys r concerned about harassing a judge??? really?? liberals r tellin us we cant protest??? ****
and

Ummmm…. yep.
EyeonYou – You beat me !!! I didn’t see the ” u punks” post. That’s gotta be my favorite.
I have a feeling lil Eddie is going to see a bit more dwindle in his on-air time.
Stupid, silly , idiot Eddie.
Are EBurke and JBeehive AIP? Anyone know?
What is wrong with these Palinites? It’s none of their business. They are following in the footsteps of a disgruntled loser that only knows how to shirk responsibility and blame all shortcomings on others. Any threats should be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Judges shouldn’t have to take that garbage. Leave it alone and let the legal system sort out custody. Making it public record does help ensure the nasty stuff stays in the closet.
At this point I’m not worried so much about the judges. I think it is extremely wise of Levi and Rex to have Tank as Levi’s shadow. Because I’m sure the thought as crossed some crazy Palinbot that the easiest way to solve this to Sarah’s and Bristol’s benefit is for Levi to be out of the picture….permanently. Custody problem solved. Seems to me that’s what we really need to be afraid of.
yep…they whine about judges and how this is a “private matter” but insert themselves right into a court case that doesn’t involve them at all…
And this Alicia Fix Luke person who started this Barracuda Brigade psychotic nonsense is not only NOT Bristol or Levi…she doesn’t even live in Alaska…she’s in Oklahoma City.

That’s how they are. That’s what their queen likes. And she campaigned to be one decrepit old man’s heartbeat from the White House. Let’s remember that when we’re angry at the elected Adminstration’s failure to do all we want and think about sitting out the next election. Consider the alternative, currently in full bloom in front of us.
Palin encourages these kind of followers with her hatefulness. (My blood pressure hasn’t been the same since she came on the scene.!!!)
Just lodged an FCC complaint:
http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
Sarah has been of the opinion that the law doesn’t apply to her since her days in the Wasilla mayor’s office, maybe longer.
The judges made fair decisions to treat this case no differently than they would any other. Good for them.
Shame on Sarah’s supporters and on her for not reining them in. None of them have any business meddling in a custody arrangement between Bristol and Levi. As they were fond of saying during the campaign, “Leave the kids alone.”
I am in full agreement with trisha @ 24 – they are doing a great job of making Levi’s point for him.
> **** screw the courts! i got the constitution behind me!
Whatever.
Interesting.
The unspoken but implied impetus by the Facebook group is the fear that embarrassing details will emerge publicly about Sarah Palin which could “harm or perhaps payback Sarah Palin.” Makes sense really. The most vociferous people are usually the ones who are most insecure about the position they’re defending. Small dogs bark the loudest, eh?
I think that buried within the sycophantic blind adoration these folks have for SP is the real fear that she won’t meet their expectations. Must suck to be nursing a delusion which is constantly threatened by exposure.
$P’s apathy toward the harassment of the Judges reminds me when she laughed at Lyda Green beign called a “cancer” on the radio.
Tonight, she is just sitting back, drinking a red bull & giggling at the whole harassing the Judges issue.
$P, you will not be laughing when Levi gets to spend more time with Tripp & you have to pay him child support.
Enjoy!

I encourage everyone on Facebook to go to the site and hit the “report event” button:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=248866041008&index=1
I don’t understand why people are anxious to protest a court case that doesn’t affect them.
Are they freeing a guilty criminal in your neighborhood? Are they trampling someone’s civil rights? Are they raising your taxes? If so, then protest.
Otherwise, Bristol’s custody case doesn’t affect you and is not worth going to jail over.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Bristol & Levi took their baby, ran away and eloped? If only Grandma Sarah would keep out of their business for 5 minutes.
How come Granny Palin always thinks that everything is all about her? The custody battle has to do with Levi, Bristol and the Trapp – no one else – and, especially not Granny Palin. I hope Levi is sitting back, being quiet and allowing Granny Palin and her crazies continue to dig the Palin hole deeper and deeper. The “Palin Plan” to harass the judges is helping Levi more than it is detrimental. It shows that Granny Palin is self centered, manipulative, vindictive, she has skeletons – and she has a bunch of crazies marching in her self-proclaimed army of screwballs. If Granny doesn’t have anything to hide, then why would she want the proceedings closed, a proceedings that she is not even a party to. If the proceedings is closed, then Levi doesn’t stand a chance at having a fair hearing. Also, closed proceedings have the appearance that something shameful has happened that the parties don’t want the public to know about, which gives Granny Palin the usual appearance of being suspicious of doing something wrong.
Levi – put your feet up, keep your mouth shut, sit back and enjoy the show – these people are helping your case more than they are hurting your case. And the nice part is, I am sure some of the crazies are going to screw up and threaten one of the targeted judges, and Wooten and other law enforcement will be close by to arrest their asses and throw them in jail – harassing a judge is no laughing matter.
Let’s see if Beehive Jessie likes getting a bee up her skirt as she’s sitting in a jail cell, with Eddie Burke tagging along.

AKM, thank you for staying on top of it all. I am awed by your reporting, writing, and style (applause!). Thanks again.
I went to the FB site for these lunatics and perused the attendee list – it is rather strange.
There are a lot of FB accounts on that list that either have thousands and thousands of friends listed (some too many to be for real), are from non-US accounts, and a few from peeps who obviously don’t even understand English at all. There were even a few Islamic users represented.
People from Cebu, Korea, Romania myriad locations around the globe, listed as attendees…..but what seemed to be missing was anyone from ALASKA.
Now the Palinites are getting peeps not just from Outside, but FOREIGNERS, even MUSLIMS and SIKHS and ANIMISTS and GAWD knows what else to harass USA Court Judges in an effort to coerce court proceedings on behalf of the Palins.
This smells darnright Un-American to me!!!!
Penn Lawyer @ Post # 23 – thank you very much. That was excellent .
I kind of thought that attacking judges would only get you on their bad side; glad to hear that is in fact the case.
“The judicial system demands unquestioning (and yes, sometimes undeserved) respect and decorum from participants. ”
We all know that this has absolutely nothing to do with Tripp – SP is behind this (stirring up her cronies) to cover up something major that she is afraid will come out at the hearings.
And it must really be MAJOR for her to go to this extent.
The poster who mentioned Dr. Tiller, that sent shivers up my spine, and this is an eerily similar situation. It’s scary what the potential for violence could be in this case.
I pray to God nothing like that happens.
Well it looks as if Jessica Beehive can’t take the heat. She has deleted not just the “tweets” but her entire Twitter account.
Isn’t it amazing how brave they are when they are doing these “calls to action” behind the safety of the keyboard and moniter, big, tough and loud, but when the push back comes, they run and hide.
I wonder if Jessica thinks that because she deleted the account that the information is gone?
I’m confused. I thought Sarah wanted her kids to be kept out of the spotlight. Isn’t this a splendid way to get your kid INTO the spotlight?
I knew as soon as her book tour was over she’d find some way to stay in the fray. She can’t help herself. The attention has become so addictive that she can’t go a week without being news.
I pity the fool who tries to date Willow or Piper.
With an infamous witch like Sarah for a mother-in-law, the boys will be smart to stay away.
Last night when I clicked on the “Barracuda Brigade” who is the sponsor of the judge protest, there at the top of their page was the racist Obama-as-Sarah-Palin’s-shoeshine-boy picture! I was so disgusted I reported it. It’s gone now; wish I’d taken a screenshot.
I learned that it can get worse.
ds55,
You got that right. Who in their right mind would want to walk into that spider’s web? Even if you had an interest in one of the girls, it would seem more trouble than it’s worth. I really feel sorry for those poor girls. Only shysters and fortune hunters would brave that hornet’s nest.
The right wing lunacy is far more dangerous than just a talking point. Spreading fear through hate speech and attempted intimidation (and threats of violence) of anyone who does not believe like they do is nothing new to anyone who has studied history.
Attempting to intimidate judges is actually against the very constitutional doctrines these hypocritical manipulations claim to support. They do not want the law of the land to be carried out unless it is to their benefit. To them, free speech is their right not ours, due process is for their benefit but not for the benefit of anyone who is not with them.
While the tea parties love to wave the picture of Obama with a Hitler mustache, it is the far right in this country who are walking (blindly?) toward classic, textbook fascism.

It really would be marvelous if these crazy kids eloped! AND they could make millions selling their story and be set up for life, away from Miss Wasilla.
Won’t happen, but one sure wishes it would.
Happy ending would be nice.
The Talibunny’s stormtroopers don’t think much of the American judicial system, do they? Well, no, because they don’t think much in the first place. But then again, they wouldn’t be adherents of the Arctic Madonna if they had the ability or inclination to understand that while Her words are to them commandments, in the real world She must stand in line just like everybody else.
If they react like this now, I don’t even want to contemplate their reaction when Caribou Barbie — oh, excuse me — Bristol is denied sole custody.
Thanks Owhole1–Filed with FCC also, took 5 min. Don’t just complain do something.
1. Sarah’s facebook page promoted the judicial harassment until the followers took the ball. Once the program was safely launched the post was removed.
2. Sarah’s father allowed his name to be advertised as guest of a radio show which promoted the judicial harassment, but Chuck Heath didn’t show up for the actual taping. He’ll claim he “knew nothing” as well.
3. Sarah’s hairdresser promoted the judicial harassment and eventually withdrew her public announcements. Sarah will say she had no way to know what the hairdresser was up to.
What these events have in common is an attempt to create plausible deniability. Brisotl will claim that the open proceedings are harmful because people independently become so protective that they are compelled to act irrationally. The best interest of the child demand that the proceedings be secreted. It might work. Ironically, what the facts honestly show is that Rex proved the vindictiveness of Sarah Palin.
It’s funny because I was sure Bristol’s attorneys dropped the ball in such a brazenly incompetent fashion because they secretly wanted the proceedings open. Other than a pathological need for attention on the part of all Palins, I’m not sure what the lawyer’s malpractice proved. Maybe he is just a joke of an attorney, sometimes a cigar……
Gaaaaa!!
And, if I remember correctly, wasn’t it Bristol’s lawyer’s fault that he failed to submit in time the appeal to the ruling about having open hearings?
So, shouldn’t the Sarahsites be mad at B’s atty?
I vote “Edward Scissorhands” for Jessica Steele’s hairdo.
@JC #21 ~
How come we never see pictures of BTQ$ with Hitler mustaches drawn on her face?
Oh yeah, i just realized we’re saving the Hitler euphemism for 2012.
Good question Tina, she certainly fits the bill more so than the president. I think this little escapade is going to prove to be detrimental to winky in more ways than one. Regarding her other FB crap, since she thinks the president isn’t handling the “underpants bomber” situation correctly she must also think that our former “supreme leader” didn’t handle the “shoe bomber” situation correctly. Maybe she should give the bush household a jingle. I can just hear Laura saying “sarah palin is on the phone for you hon” & W replying “huh? who’s that, the governor of Guam or something?”
Simplest explanation: Sarah knows Levi may finally disclose what he’s held back, what he referred to as something Sarah didn’t do as governor (along with all the other poor parenting and bad acts he witnessed), in order to counter the allegations about his mother and himself as unfit for shared custody. To me this is just the latest proof she’s coming unhinged, because otherwise why put him in this corner with this custody case? She has truly lost touch with reality outside her supporters and her own delusions of grandeur and invincibility. Sad for others around her that there seems to be no end in sight to her legacy of misery and hatefulness.

Trueblue, It’s pure speculation on my part, but what would make Sarah as much of a risk as Levi’s mom was portrayed to be? Why does Sarah often have boundless energy, but then erratic performance? Huh, it’s hard to guess what Levi’s “big secret” could be.
Don’t these folks realize how quickly things could turn on them? What if Jessica’s Beehive were to receive nonstop calls asking about the availibility of an appointment, say, next Tuesday. Or asking if Mz. P’s hair clippings are available for sale for a shrine (or voodo doll). Or how tall is SP without the hair? Or if SP or Jessica ever considered, as Henry HIggins suggested in song, to spend less time on the hair and “straighten up the mess that’s inside.”
learningcurve: yup, my thoughts exactly. I think she’s been “augmenting” her energy (covered by coffee and energy drinks) for years, and who better than a local teenaged boy, one in her family circle even, would know about it? Wasilla might hold the record on meth, but it’s still a small town. Boundless energy, erratic performance, word salad plus fueling the dark side of her narcissistic personality. I am so happy that Sarah is not in my family!
learningcurve@162, I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s had the same or similar speculation. Also, after looking at some of the Hawaii photos, I really do not think she is healthy. Too much Red Bull and energy bar and not enough real food with real nutrients. That can cause things we’ve witnessed as surely as any chemical substance. And can cause neural problems which can lead to things like, oh, making what appear to be very irrational decisions.
And she’s speaking on WHAT topics at the motivational seminar?
One other thing which shows the lack of intelligence and/or knowledge on the part of the palinistas is how they are also calling upon followers to call Sarah Lite to get the judge’s rulings over-turned. Did these people skip the mandatory civics/US history courses in high school? Are they that unaware about the 3 branches of government? The governor is not a valid route to over-turning a judge’s decision; that can only be achieved by appealing in the appropriate venue: a higher court.
Where the hell is Jim Jones when you need a real cult leader? He at least stepped up to the plate and admitted his role in his cult.
I don’t think S.P.itler & her cult are even human. Anybody ever check for the on-off switch?
btw – for those tempted to call Jessica Steele: doing so is as inappropriate as is Eddie The Idiot’s efforts to get members of s’erro’s cult to call private citizens at work and/or home to harass them.
Let’s keep to the higher road. Resist the temptation to sink to their un-American level.
But do write/call the FCC to complain about Eddie The Idiot’s radio program (include the URL for the station and podcast).
I think a lot of her supporters know exactly what Sarah is but they don’t know how to quit her, their like hard core drug users, delusional, paranoid, every thing is someone else’s fault. They will do anything to get the next fix, she is their drug , it keeps them going, hopefully one by one they will wake up to the real world, but I highly dought it, right now she is their world.
Quite the story. Looks like Sarah’s need for control, revenge and attention are way stronger than her wish to hold national office.
this is Wooten times two, but she appears to have forgotten that she no longer has the power of the governorship behind her. Plus she didn’t even win the Wooten custody fight – aside from making the man’s life a misery, which may have been the point of the exercise.
Does she have nobody competent giving her advice on this legal stuff? Or does she not listen to anyone who doesn’t agree with her 100%?
Because this is really inexplicable behaviour.
On a ..lateral path..those who have from babes in arms to elem. school children..go get books of value ..like history, psychology, world cultures, politics in many cultures and time frames, and food preservation..medical basics and stress reduction wisdoms..and how a healthy family..trumps tech toys and gadgets..for real-world improvements..at the inner levels. There are way too many crippled, by blind-faith..which begets anger toward Any..who do not..fall-into-step. Hit the local book stores..and used book stores and borrow..from others. Read to each other..discuss. We need to enlarge the pool of truely..educated people. When cultlike groups appear..they will race over the ‘cliff edge’..just as Jonestown members did. When an individual is lacking suff. brain power..AND true education..they cannot be fixed..and thus..we have to live with them..running around for from 10 to 25 years..until confined by their physical infirmaties..in wheel chairs in front of the tv. Educate our young people..to give a damn about genuine..Education. Is it easy to be on the front lines..nope..but its got to be done!
Fern asks “Does she have nobody competent giving her advice on this legal stuff? Or does she not listen to anyone who doesn’t agree with her 100%?”
The answer to that is “yes”.
Which is why she can never ever ever be president. How would she fill cabinet posts and how would she ever get anything done with them in meetings, let alone work with members of congress? Won’t, can’t happen.
To which I say “yea!!!!”

I came to this country as a young child from an Eastern European SSR. We were five children and very poor in terms of material things. I was the eldest, but the smallest, so I wore hand-me-downs. The best gift I ever got from my mother was books and a hunger and thirst to learn. My children are first-generation Americans and college graduates. I am so proud of them. Education is life-long. Small children are like sponges waiting to soak up knowledge. Turn off the Tee Vee and go to the park, read books, take a nature walk, talk talk talk to your children, teach compassion, teach personal responsibility, teach the consequences of actions. Help them learn to earn the things they want so they don’t grow to think they are entitled. Set boundaries so they know they are safe and secure. Say No. It’s the hardest word a parent can say to their children sometimes but say it anyway. They’ll “hate” you for a little while, but after it all they’ll respect you for it. Understand you are not your child’s FRIEND. Your job is to parent, to teach, to guide and protect. They have friends for friendship.
Rant over.
I want to say to the sea of pee and to Sarah, “for once in your lives do sit down and shut up.’
A lot of us are sick and tired of your moose nuggets and Sarah Airheads attempts to stir up trouble.
Does this woman actually believe in the Rapture? Or is she pimping to the fundi base beliefs?
Airhead won’t be able to take the money she is getting for stirring up trouble into Paradise.
Islamic fundies and terrorists are screwing up everything they can, from plane travel on, but Sarah “Airhead” Palin is stirring her own unique brew of poison.
lilady new york….loved your rant.
Perhaps this is small minded of me…
But I find my ability to take people seriously when they Cap All of the Words they Think are Important in a Sentence is, well, seriously compromised.
Mudpuppy Wannabe, small minds may be great – i find myself too distracted…to read…when the text…is all ellipsed … to h*ll…
screw the courts! i got the constitution behind me! u libs hate n protest soldiers, i can protest judges 10 minutes ago from mobile web
The constitution also gives you the right to bear arms.
That doesn’t mean that you can then take a gun and harm/kill anyone with it.
Good Grief the Palin folks keep proving nutty is alive and well in america.
Mercy.
Here’s to hope’n someone gets in trouble for this….

I think that buried within the sycophantic blind adoration these folks have for SP is the real fear that she won’t meet their expectations.
Yes!
MUDPUPPY WANNABE and BARBARA,
i just love it when the pups get excited and want to emphasize their thoughts with a capitalized word here and there. it does no harm.
You know, I find it rather hilarious that She Who Shall Not Be Named’s lemmings are so adamant about Tripp not being a “political football” when she was perfectly willing to use ALL of her kids as political props (and still does, to some degree). Hell, her lemmings are using Tripp as a political prop, when it comes down to it, because they’re using him as a cover to harass judges who they think are too liberal.
And by the way: when did we start “accusing” people of “activist liberal decisions”? It’s not a crime to be a liberal, nor an activist. And the “liberal” point of view, if I remember right, used to simply mean listing to all points of view and making a decision. It’s not a dirty word.
*sigh*
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie – obviously the dumbing down of America has worked well with you. What do you think the Constitution is? That is if you are talking about the United States Constitution – the document is the basic frame work for our federal government, in other words one of the things the Constitution does is lay out the framework for the three branches of government which are …. wait a minute … think hard, really, really hard … the excutive branch … right … the legistrative branch … right again …. and that pesky third branch … what’s it called ?? Can’t hear you moron – oh yea, the judicial branch, you know the one that has the court system figured out. So in your stupidity of screwing the courts because you have the Constitution behind you means —– ??? Right, you are an idiot and we could prove it in the court system that would be included in the Constitution that you have behind you. Don’t let it hit you in the a$$ as you go through the door.
E in New England, unfortunately, “liberal” is a dirty word in Alaska.
On second thought maybe Eddie wasn’t talking about the United States Constitution, maybe he was talking about the Alaskan Constitution or maybe the version from the AIP group. Since I don’t have one handy I can’t check to see if there is a judicial branch included. No, wait, I got it, he was talking about the Russian Constitution because I bet when he and Palin hang out at her house they can see Russia. Idiot.

1. Sarah’s facebook page promoted the judicial harassment until the followers took the ball. Once the program was safely launched the post was removed.
**********
Actually the post is still up on Sarah’s FB page. It has been reported several times and yet it remains there for anyone to find if they look for it. I think that since we know how quickly offensive posts are removed from her page, it is not unreasonable to state the page is heavily moderated. If you post something that Sarah or her fans find offensive, you are deleted and banned quite quickly, so the fact that this post remains indicates that not only does Sarah support it (it is her page after all), her fans support it as well.
Jessica Beehive’s Twitter acct has been closed. But the screenshots remain. : )
@Capt Flag, 11:16 –
@AKM –
FYI, you’re both incorrect here. Kari Kristiansen was appointed to the Palmer Superior Court by Gov. Murkowski on Nov. 17, 2006–not by Tony Knowles and not by Sarah Palin. (Palin was elected in Nov. 2006 but did not take office until Jan. 2007.)
I think bee in her bonnet Jessica got a visit from the Police if her Twitter acct was deleted. =) She’s a silly Twit for thinking she can intimidate an judge, and a VERY stupid woman.
Next is Burke.
This type of terrorist activity needs to stop, what in the F *** is wrong with these people.
I hope charges are brought against both of them.
@ Lisa Boyles (#183)
Yeah, I know. Sometimes, it feels like it’s a dirty word everywhere. I imagine I would probably be considered a liberal by most, in terms of ideology, but I never describe myself as such, because there are too many preconceived notions (mostly bad) about that particular label.
Why do Palin supporters hate America so much?
What they are doing is protesting the core values of America, an open democracy – which happens to be publicly funded by all American taxpayers.
Palin supporters – and the Palin themselves – are too stupid and ignorant to know that government institutions – such as the courts – are open to the public because they are for the public and paid for by the public!
In america, everyone can quickly become dehumanized by labels. When did the
“liberals, conservatives, independents, etc., etc., ad infinitum ad nauseum become the replacements for HUMAN BEINGS with all shades and dimensions of human beings. What further divisive tactics for the usage of language? Mainstream media comes quickly to mind. This country will never be united and from the looks of things is just a pretty fragmented gaggle of chaos, corruptions, classism, racism and all things that are (have been) corrupting and eroding this country since its inception and theft from its only true citizenry, the “american Indian”. This situation now needs a novel to root out the REAL truths. Sarah Palin is the epitome of what constitutes american society – what is inherently wrong.
This goes beyond my belief. How can anyone any longer think Sarah Palin has values, much less family values? I wonder what would have happened if she had NOT given in to her greedy self and said NO to McCain? Would these two kids have gone off, had a small private wedding, and began raising a family? She threw her whole family and now her grandchild under a bus with both hands and is complaining because judges won’t ‘treat her right”? Threatening judges while HIDING behind somebody else? Business as usual. I do believe Sarah Palin is a true zealot in that SHE believes what she says and is COMMITTED TO her stand, when she should just BE COMMITTED to an asylum. Unfortunately, there are those who believe anything a zealot says if its said with enough passion – I hope their number is dwindling.
Traumatic to a twelve year old? The kid will never be in court, so wtf are these idiots attempting? Something to hide?
Oh, ya, I can just see the kids grandma, Sarah, whispering in his ear every night: ” Tripp, these liberal scumbags are ruining your tiny mind with Liberal nonsense.”
Sheesh, there really should be an intelligence test given before people can vote. Everyone of these morons would fail and be denied.
Re: Eddie & threats…a little historical perspective abut his use of personal info. Hopefully, his punishment will be greater than before….after all, rally organizers are low on the political and legal totem pole so to speak.

Anti-Palin rally organizers receive threats
Opponents of Gov. Sarah Palin’s policies are being threatened.
Alaska Women Reject Palin, a local group that opposes the Republican vice presidential candidate, on Wednesday announced plans to host an anti-Palin rally this weekend.
Since that announcement organizers say they’ve received intimidating messages.
A press release for the Reject Palin rally went out to practically every media outlet in town Wednesday. And one talk radio host decided to share the names and phones numbers of the two contacts on-air.
That decision has left organizers feeling somewhat fearful of practicing their First Amendment rights.
KBYR talk radio host Eddie Burke admits he is a conservative and a “Palinista.”
But on Wednesday Burke resorted to name calling when he found out Alaska Women Reject Palin planned to host a Saturday rally.
“They’re a bunch of socialist maggots, that’s what I’m going to call them — socialist maggots, that’s what they are, a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots,” said Burke.
On Thursday Burke pulled back, a little.
“Yesterday, I was probably a little over the top,” he said.
The talk show host encouraged listeners to call the two women listed on the press release, which he calls a public document.
http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=9014535
Pro-Palin radio host suspended
n Anchorage radio talk show host won’t be heard across the airwaves this week.
KBYR’s Eddie Burke was suspended without pay for breaking station policy.
While on the air last Wednesday, Burke released the names and phone numbers for the two organizers of an anti-Sarah Palin rally.
Here’s AKM’s own take on that 9/2008 episode…

I am just going to say what ya’all are thinking. Sarah Palin is on Meth. There I said it.
OMG you are so right and how they can’t see that is beyond me.The everyone in lockstep is a classic Hitler move. Others have minds of their own and use them to check things out and decide for themselves not follow a Jim Jones cult figure.

**************************************************************
I believe it. Ricky Reese and Shooters Billiards is walking distance to Casa de Palin. I’ve called her a crackhead many times here. She sure acts like one. Tweaker also , too.
So when are we going to smash out the attitude that some people can receive ‘special priviledges’ just because of who they are? I thought a basis of Christianity is to ‘forgive’ and move on. It appears that Sarah Palin is riding a roller coaster that will hopefully crash before the next Presidential Election. Either that or God help us all. Amen.
Eddie Burke said – “They’re a bunch of socialist maggots, that’s what I’m going to call them — ”
Ok then Eddie, how about you turn in your PFD check without cashing it ? By accepting that money, you too are a ‘socialist maggot’.
The new Facebook group’s statement bears a remarkable resemblance to Sarah Palin’s writing style – problems with capitalization (totally random) and punctuation (not understanding the difference between plural and possessive – “beluga’s” instead of “belugas,” for example.
More disturbing is the Palin thinking that the decision is the “worst in Alaskan [make that Alaska's] History [another problematic capitalization]” – it points to her narcissistic disorder – thinking a very pedestrian custody case and a ruling that says it will be treated as any other custody case is more important to Alaska than any other ruling in the state’s history?
Most disturbing is knowing that the Palin family is whipping up a mob to threaten judges, showing reckless disregard for the judges’ safety. Like their response to Wooten, the Palin’s thirst for revenge is frightening.
‘Jessica Beehive’? This gets more farcical by the minute.
BTW darling, lose the coif, it will kill your business.
So what happened? Did they show up and protest yet?
ds55, far as I can tell…it was a bust.
Even Eddie hasn’t tweeted anything for more than 24 hours (and his last tweet was a hoot…he is definitely losing it)
Judge Kristiansen was actually appointed by Murkowski, just before he left office.
