Sarah Palin's Unwanted Neighbor, Author Joe McGinness, Leaving Alaska

I wonder how this "author" would feel if someone writing a trash novel about him and his family moved in next door to his family. It's clearly an intimidation tactic by a thug that uses ink to hurt his victims while making money off hatred for them. The lowest form of parasite around. Karma baby, karma!

How can any author go to Alaska to learn about the State and its former governor and then leave without ever seeing a snowflake fall? He pretends that moving next door to the Palins was a coincidence and "he didn't care what happened on their side of the fence" -- obviously a total lie. He lived there hoping to catch a member of their family in an unguarded moment so he could exploit it and blow it out of proportion.

I understand the hate mail thing. During the Presidential election I lost most of my friends. Most of them were friends of 30 years or more. This happened because I would not agree that Obama was a Muslem and that he was the Anti-Christ. Needless to say they are all Radicals about Religion and most of them Republicans, although not all. I have other issues with the President but those two items are not in the mix..

I keep reading that Sarah Palin quit the Governor's office because she wanted to become famous and wealthy making speaches and writing books. Well.....what's wrong with that. Does McGinniss not wish he could make money writing? I seldom read the other side of her reason for leaving the Governor's office... regarding all the expensive law suits the left wing nutts cost her and the state. She also said that it was not fair to the people of Alaska for her to remain Governor while she had to devote so much time fighting the liberals; but that is never addressed in their comments.

Mr. Joe McGinniss my hat off to you! Putting up a 8 ft fence is mild compared to what Sarah Palin would do if in the White House. Sadly there is no way to lock her in her own backyard! The whole Palin family has made a circus of their lives since she ran with John McCain. Can you imagine what they would do, if the trailer park trash was allowed in to the White House?

Is anyone really interested in this woman? What difference does it make? I would never buy a book about her or even get it from the library.. Got better things to do.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone in their right mind would support Sarah Palin. I am waiting for her fifteen minutes of fame to be over. I am not a liberal or a conservative but somewhere in the middle. I just can't stand her. P.S. I am 80 years old and my brain still works. I do the Sunday New York Times Crosswords so I have at least average intelligence.

Sounds like typical thug mentality from Todd Palin a guy who was blind to his daughter getting impregnated under his nose plus the defective genes floating about within.

Palin makes money peddling trash every day in her books and high paid speeches. She bailed on the people of her own state so she could make as much money as possible on the lecture circuit with garbage like phony righteous indignation about how everyone is "demonizing BP." Let her go clean up the oil herself if she loves BP that much. She knows fully well that being a public figure, especially one constantly spouting controversial nonsense, will subject her to public scrutiny by the press. That's what a free press is about. If you don't like McGinniss's book, don't read it. I know I will never read any book by Palin.

I understand that authors need to not only make a living, but to investigate their subjects. However, I think that no matter what side of the political fence you are on there should always be respect among the peers. I do not see how renting a house for three or so months and asking about Sarah Palin is neccessarily the most important item on today's agenda. I am all for freedom of speech, but there is a limit to respect given and taken. We have more important items that need to be addressed in todays' society. Let's get started with those.
