Todd Palin Slams Joe McGinniss While Sarah Criticizes Obama
EmailTodd Palin released a statement late Wednesday condemning claims author Joe McGinniss makes about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in his upcoming book, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin.”
“This is a man who has been relentlessly stalking my family to the point of moving in right next door to us to harass us and spy on us to satisfy his creepy obsession with my wife,” Todd Palin said via SarahPAC’s Rebecca Mansour. “His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.”
In his book, McGinniss claims that Palin used cocaine, had a one night stand with retired NBA player Glen Rice, and engaged in an extramarital affair.
Meanwhile, on Facebook Wednesday night, Sarah Palin condemned President Barack Obama’s “crony capitalism” following his jobs speech, taking specific aim at Jeffrey Immelt. She made no mention of McGinniss’ book.
“President Obama has his sights set on raising $1 billion for his reelection campaign,” she wrote. “Raising that money won’t be easy. But if you can hand out other people’s money to friends, it must get a whole lot easier. This crony capitalism and government waste is at the heart of our economic problems. It will destroy us if we don’t root it out. It’s not just a Democrat problem or a Republican problem. It’s a problem of our permanent political class. This won’t stop until ‘we the people’ say enough is enough, and we retire the permanent political class that votes for this.”

“Crony capitalism and government waste?” Sarah obviously wasn’t paying attention during the Bush years….

Todd just doesn’t want to think about his wife being with a black man. No husband wants to think about their wife being with a black man. Get a grip fellas. It’s the past.

Hey lamestream media) The American People are SMARTER Than YOU, Obama’s SERVANTS and SLAVES….STOP Lying about The Next USA President, Sarah Palin….

@WORKINGCLASS – If you actually read her note on facebook that this article refers to you will see CLEARLY, that she not only specifically calls out democrats but republicans as well. Get informed. This is disgusting.

@Jessica: Funny how she (and most Republicans) didn’t complain about it under Bush, though. Or say anything about it until it was a Democrat in the office of President.
(P.S. Hey, ABC, why have a Captcha system if it doesn’t work right?)
Posted by: WorkingClass | September 15, 2011, 9:30 am 9:30 am
@WORKIBGCLASS-That’s what makes her different. Most politicians won’t call out both sides. As a major political figure now, she is speaking out about it, so give her credit. We are not talking about most republicans, we are talking about Ms. Palin.
Posted by: Jessica | September 15, 2011, 9:44 am 9:44 am
@Jessica: She’s not different, she’s riding the new trend like everyone else. As I stated, you’ll note that she DIDN’T say anything until a Democrat was in office. Where was her “amazing insight” 6 or eight years ago?

I just REFUSE to believe ANYTHING bad about Caribou Barbie because she’s so PRETTY and she says things like Freedom and Liberty and Jesus a lot. A hypocrite wouldn’t do THAT!
Would she?

SARAH PALIN PRESIDENT!!??? LOL… BEST LAUGH I’VE HAD THIS YEAR!

It’s not so much that Sarah Palin, the Repubs, and Tea heads have a problem with a Democrat being in the White House, but that it just burns them up that Obama is in the White House. They hate it that he is their boss! LOL… poor things. Sarah Palin needs to put her big girl panties on the just deal with it. Your boss is African American…. no matter how much they say his race has nothing to do with it… they have proven they are lieing. The birth certificate fiasco is PROOF!!! As for Todd, he married Sarah… do to me he’s just as duh as she is.

So les get this right blast Palin no matter what seams to be the rule here even if the story is about a has been writer who has shown nothing but sick minded fantasy attempts to write a book based on his fantasy . Now the New York Times is not what I would call a major conservative paper and yet even they call this book and writer out even if it was done in a soft way they still did! They even said this book was ‘dated, petty,’ and that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.” In other words nothing more then a waste of paper and not worth reading at all being it has no facts of truth in it or real information at all just one mans fantasy filled hate that was spilled out in book form and ya Palin haters are right there with him showing your own in your post!
The main point here is all some have to do is see her name and they jump and blast with out reading or knowing any thing of what was written in the report. Lemmings I swear lemmings! This is not about a Dem in the White house this is about a person who is unfit to be in the white house! lets face it from 2007 on the Dems controlled both houses of congress so Bush may have been in the car but it was the Dems driving it over the cliff as they were the ones in charge of the banking and other such stuff the lead to were we are today. At that time we had 4.5 unemployment and 3.5 growth in GDP so blast any GOP you want but as that finger points to us there’s three more pointing back at the real problem just remember that!

So what the Obama believers are saying is that since they believe Bush did the same thing, it’s perfectly okay for Obama to follow suit. In other words, it’s okay for Obama to break the law, to lie and to keep most of the Bush anti-terror policies in place. It’s great to hear you all finally admit it.

Unauthorized biography about a liberal = total lies that the press will not cover
Unauthorized biography about a conservative= absolute truth covered by every major outlet

@workingclass, get informed. Palin has been fighting crony “capitalism” since her days as councilwoman in Wasilla. She fought with councilman who was trying to pass a city ordinance to mandate trash pick-up because it would financially benefit him at the expense of Wasilla residents. Then as mayor she spoke out about Big Oil greasing the palms of politicians for passing laws that would benefit them at the expense of Alaskans. As I recall some people even went to jail for that. So don’t even try to go there. She has been fighting crony “capitalism” for years.

What’s funny is how her supporters absolutely refuse to believe anything bad about her, period. It doesn’t matter what it is. And her detractors absolutely refuse to believe anything GOOD about her, no matter what it is. Did she do cocaine as a youngster? Who knows. Did she sleep with that basketball player as a youngster? Again, who knows. Did she have an affair with her husbands business partner? Same thing. Her supporters cannot conceive the possibility that these things are true, and her detractors already believe them to be the gospel truth (and really aren’t all that surprised, either). Funny………

Rebecca Mansour??? That’s a person that I thought was kicked out of the inter-palin circle.

None of the liberals care about Sarah Palin and Glen Rice, but the conservatives sure are nervous! Nervertheless Joe McGinnis IS creepy, I have got to agree with the Palin supporters on this one. And if Todd punched him it would serve him right.
Posted by: Troy Wood | September 15, 2011, 6:35 pm 6:35 pm
Todd should try talking to Sarah about her one night stand with Glenn Rice, which clears up why she is so fixated on President Obama.

I’m not a Palin fan, but really this guy needs some juice to make his millions, boring Palin isn’t going to cut it. As for believing this stuff, probably considerably embellished. This is tabloid fodder, unfortunately a part of being a political celebrity, don’t believe in this stuff, unless there’s proof as far as authenticated digital pictures.

Is Joe McGinniss a rasist? If white woman is attracted to a black man, why is it a fetish and not just a simple attraction?
Posted by: bassman | September 16, 2011, 8:06 am 8:06 am
Some people obsess over Palin that’s for sure. They talk about her all the time about her. They are very jealous of her and attack her over and again in order to make themselves feel better about themselves because of their own shortcomings. I suppose it’s therapeutic for them.

You know its bad when bots have to resort to unfounded simpleton smears to try to Palin. Geezes, could you guys get anymore pathetic?

FEMA and about 90 percent of the rest of the federal bureaucracies needs to be abolished in it’s entirety. If the feds want to help during local and reginonal disasters, they can do it best by staying the hell out of the way and that includes keeping OSHA, The EPA and the rest of the fools out of the way. They could help fund the local cleanups, but with no oversights as to how it is done. We had a tornado in April this year in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and the clean up was well underway locally with volunteers and the FEMA crowd, OSHA crowd, EPA crowd and several other Federal Bungling agencies, and the clean up ground to a halt as the Federal Bureaucratic Machine Groaned to a start after folks had to be submitted to OSHA testing, training, etc. and while this was going on, the clean up stopped and now they are announcing that the job is done, and yet over 2/3 of the rubble is still laying about. This is the Feds at work. They need to be abolished due to their incompetence, inefficiency and the cost of funding these idiot bureaucrats who work for these bungling agencies. FEMA is but one of hundreds of federal agencies, bureaus, commissions and departments that need to be totally abolished.

I don’t agree with her statements here, and Bush did his fair share to sink the economy, but I am actually completely amazed at the virulent, petty hatred people have towards Sarah Palin. She doesn’t help matters by not being conciliatory in the least, but I don’t know if I could be. I’ve never seen such disrespect and loathing before; well, I have, in grade school. Did you guys pick on the unpopular kids too? Agree with her or not, I can only look in awe at her courage and determination for putting up with all the abuse she gets from the likes of you people; just for standing up for what she believes in.

why does america hate her because she rode up and down a black pole. todd, you cant stand to think about where her mouth has been? thats really sick that she would sleep with any man just 8 months before she had a child by her soon to be husband! why do white men hate finding out that their wives have been with a black man.

Looks like most of what McGinniss says has already been verified by people in Wasilla. Sarah and the First Dud are able to get their loyal sheep all scared about the stalker who moved next door, but the residents of Alaska know that it is time for Sarah and Toad to put on their big girl panties and admit it is true.
Posted by: Terrence | October 1, 2011, 4:08 pm 4:08 pm
About time for Todd to realize that Sarah has been telling him a lot of lies. Open your eyes, Dude, Track isn’t even your son and Sarah slept with your business partner. Look at her relationship with Franklin Graham and Glenn Beck and even Greta van Susteren. Where is your pride?

Three years and Miss Information has spent so much time criticizing the current administration that she hasn’t had any time to take care of her special needs baby or even decide whether or not to run for higher office. So much pressure! So many deadlines! This pressure is just like being on a reality show!

Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to far added agreeable from you! By the way, how can we communicate?

It is fairly clear that most who side with the Palins have never read McGinniss’ book. He explains and predicts exactly the behavior now being exhibited my Todd Palin. As McGinniess has described, Todd Palin is a loudmouth and a bully. What is puzzling is McGinness not legally reacting to Todd Palin’s defaming and slanderous comments about stalking his children and wife. There are some petty parts in McGinness’ book but he really describes his subjects very well. As described in the book the Palin’s never offer any proof for their outlandish statements they just say it.
