The Todd Palin Legal Defense Fund

Todd Palin helps his wife sign autographs after her Sept. 5 rally
in Manchester, N.H. (Photo by Peter Ingemi.)

A source who doesn’t need to hide behind a cloak of anonymity:

“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. His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and [said] that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.’”
Todd Palin

During my trip to Wasilla last year, I told Todd Palin that if he had shot Levi Johnston, no jury in the world would have convicted him, and his wife’s poll numbers would have gone up.

Our conversation was informal and off-the-record, so readers are left to imagine Todd’s reaction, but certainly the Palins can’t be held responsible for every crazy thing a journalist says. (It was, after all, merely a hypothetical.) And neither can the Palins be blamed for what I’m suggesting now.

Joe McGinniss deserves The Mother of All Ass-Whuppings, and Todd Palin ought to give him exactly what he deserves.

So I’m asking readers to go make a $25 donation to SarahPAC to help defray Todd’s legal expenses when he shows up at McGinniss’s first book signing and pounds that scurvy worm into a bloody pulp.

Please give $25 to SarahPAC, so that we can bail Todd Palin out on that assault charge — and then fly him to the next Joe McGinniss book signing to deliver yet another brutal ass-whupping.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Just give $25 to SarahPAC, you see, and we’ll cover Todd Palin’s legal expenses and fly him to wherever Joe McGinniss appears in public, turning McGinniss’s book tour into a nationwide beatdown tour.

After McGinniss gets out of the hospital from his first ass-whupping, he’ll probably get a restraining order against Todd. Still, Random House will be forced to hire armed security to protect Creepy Joe because, hey, what’s a restraining order to an insulted husband who’s got thousands of loyal supporters donating $25 each to cover his legal expenses?

Bonus suggestion: Sarah PAC should hire a documentary crew to chronicle Todd Palin’s “One Nation Joe McGinniss Ass-Whupping Tour.”

Proceeds from sales of the DVD would go to defray Joe McGinniss’s medical bills. “Compassionate conservatism” and all that.

    Not hate. Just the truth. Cold, dispassionate and empirical. Let me clue you in there Sparky. If Joe McGinniss is assaulted by Todd, Todd will be arrested. If the Palins decide to sue there is a little legal thingy called discovery. This discovery thingy is exactly WHY the Palin’s won’t sue. Every item in the book was vetted by the publisher’s legal dept to make sure that there  was zero liability. So again, the Palin’s won’t sue.  People could care less about the drugs and the sex. So what. What people do care about is the hypocrisy. Sarah preaches abstinence but she was pregnant before marriage. As was her daughter who has built an industry glorifying same. Her newest grandchild was born a scant 4 months after her parents were married. (Unless like her mother in law, she is another gestational freak of nature.) Sarah Palin will never hold elected office again and this book is pay back for her pretending she is something she is not and getting dupes to send her money so she can live in a lavish life style. One she has coveted for years.
    You supporters should wake up before another bucket of cold water gets thrown on both her and you.

    Just in case you come back, Mitch The Bitch-

    So nice to know you liberal pieces of shit think a woman should have to
    pass a lie detector test to prove she hasn’t slept with a black man. Oh,
    but you’re not racist, right? So why should you give a crap that she slept with a black man, if she did. I know I don’t give a shit. Neither does anybody else that supports her.

    But since you’re a brain dead communist, let’s try a little experiment here in logic.

    Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that Republicans are racist
    and that this story might turn Palin’s supporters, like me, against her.

    Who do you think they’re most likely to support, Sarah Palin, a woman
    who might have slept once with a black man way back when she was not
    much older than a teenager? Or will they support Barak Obama, otherwise
    known as the Democratic Party’s White House Lawn Jockey?

    The clock’s ticking, boy. Come November ’12, your President can go find a
    job for which he’s more qualified . I hear there’s always a high demand
    in Washington for a good shoe-shine boy.

    Just curious. You say Todd will be arrested if he hits McGinnis. What would happen if good ol’ Joe took a bullet one night while Todd is out in public somewhere, surrounded by all kinds of people who could verify his whereabouts? Not that I would do that now, mind you, nor am I saying anybody here would, which I’m sure THEY wouldn’t. Just think of it as an intellectual exercise by somebody that doesn’t give a shit.

    No, that can’t be it. No such thing as Satan.

    It’s GOT to be the little, niggling (get it?) matter of Mr. Rice’s undeniable blackitudinousness.

    When are you going to wake up and realize your deeply held racism is the root of everything you do?

    Now take your master’s advice and either write ruthlessly about what you believe to be the truth–the fact that Snowbilly Snooki had a fling with a brown person makes you sick to the bottom of your sheet-wearing soul–or shut up.

    I can’t speak for Wombat, but I’m reasonably sure he’s not afraid of Sullivan, he just won’t allow anybody to promote him here, at least not with a link to his Daily Dish Of Crap. Why would anybody promote a man, a so-called conservative, who’s major if not sole objection to Sara Palin is her refusal to support homosexual marriage. Andrew Sullivan is a little bitch and embodies almost every negative homosexual stereotype known to man. He doesn’t just embody them, he exudes them. The only thing missing is the hairdresser bit. He’s also solid proof that homosexuality is an affliction, and a delusion.

    You obviously don’t know what “discovery” is.  There is no “discovery” of the accused in a criminal case; the only discovery required there is that the prosecution disclose to the defense all the evidence it has which might be used in the case.

    You are thinking (to use the term in its loosest possible sense) of discovery in civil lawsuits, which can be quite far-reaching depending on the judge on the case.

    Not that your ignorance is surprising, or even inconsistent, you stupid little shit.

    It doesn’t bother me in the least. The only thing I find offensive is that McGinness is just coming out with this as an attempt to turn people against her. Otherwise, what’s the point? It doesn’t even make sense. How is a person who might be turned off that Sara Palin had sex with a black man more than twenty years ago going to decide to vote for a man who is the product of a mixed relationship? Let’s see, here’s a man who’s mother was a white commie bitch and who’s father was a black commie Muslim, and who inherited from both of them a drive to fundamentally “transform” America into a commie garbage dump.

    Naw, I think I’ll stick with the white chick.

    He’s like the tabloid journalism version of a panty sniffer. Only this panty sniffer only sniffs one girl’s panties and it’s his only vocation, his pastime, his raison d’etre.

    Your comprehension skills are lacking. Who mentioned a lie detector test? And what’s up with proving a negative?
    Why do you assume that since I find Palin a shallow, vainglorious malignant narcissist that I am liberal?  Frankly you don’t know what your talking about. Your ignorance, fear  and gullibility is  on full display and your lack of critical thinking skills is exactly what Palin preys upon. The contention that I am a communist because I find the Palins nothing more than grifting white trash is laughable.
    The President might not be elected but if he is replaced it sure as hell won’t be by Palin.

Even the NY Times ripped it.”  If you hear of a book tour for this….POST IT!!!!

    I never said anything about me doing it, did I? I just said what if somebody did? You seem so sure that if something happened to McGinness that Todd Palin would get arrested, so what if something happened to McGinness and nobody could prove Palin had anything to do with it. Which I’m sure he wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

    And what’s all this shit about McGinness being invited to move into the house next door to the Palins? Invited by who? What kind of person does something like that? What did he do, keep a camera and a pair of binoculars trained on their house?

    You still haven’t answered my main question. Who gives a shit that she slept with some black basketball player some two decades ago? Why do you think that would, or should, make any difference.

    Sure it might cost her a relative handful of votes from white trash Democrat racists who might be more inclined to vote for somebody like Perry in the absence of a typical passive aggressive racist Democrat, but for all you know for every one of them she loses she might pick up four black votes.

    It just doesn’t matter. At all.

    Yes, but President Bush admitted he had a problem with alcohol, and even tells some pretty amusing stories related to his drunken idiot days. They may have been making things up, but at least they had some basis in reality.    This, on the other hand, seems entirely fabricated.

    Who mentioned a lie detector test? You did, you steaming stinking stack of shit. Just because Wombat deleted your stupid post doesn’t change that fact. You even made a comparison about how some other people might be able to pass such a test but her and Todd wouldn’t, and that they wouldn’t dare sue McGinness or his publisher.

    And I don’t have to assume a damn thing your leftism shows in everything you say. There are quite a few Republicans, some of them even conservative, who don’t care much for Sara Palin, but they generally don’t go around referring to her as “grifting white trash”. They at least respect her values and her work for the GOP at getting out the vote and promoting conservative causes in general, even if they don’t necessarily always agree with her.

    Their objections to her are sometimes political, sometimes strategic, but almost never disrespectful, certainly not to the hateful extent you have displayed here.

    As for whether or not she’ll win, I don’t know. She damn well might, she might not. I’m not even convinced Obama won’t be re-elected. I don’t know, and if I don’t know, you god damn sure don’t know jack shit.

    Her “record” – what record?  You mean the part of her 2.5 years or so of being governor before she quit that she raised taxes on oil companies and then redistributed those taxes to Alaskans?  Yes, I’m sure that’s the type of thing you’d support if Palin were to be president. IOKIYNO

    Or was it the “record” about leaving “Wasilla a financial mess, or spending big dollars on pointless infrastructure (Pipeline)?

    Palin as governor lived off of royalty revenues from Prudhoe Bay drilling.  Without those funds, she’d be another stupid conservative, espousing policies that actually don’t work.

    Honestly, it would be great to see him as first dude! It would SUCH an improvement over what we have had! I have no doubt that he would revere the American Flag.  No need to instruct that man on right and wrong, because Todd has it right. 

    I think it would be great to see Todd Palin as “First Spouse.” Would he read books to children? Would he segments on “healthy eating while gorging out on an unhealthy burger?” Or would he do segments on woodland wisdom? How about repair and care of your sno-go?  Would he spearhead a campaign to improve ATV trails? How about some guest appearances on fishing shows to promote sports fishing?

      And Fox hasn’t said one positive word since 2008 about Barack Obama. They couldn’t even find it in their heartless bodies to commend him when bin Laden was killed…can you imagine what would have happened if Bush has followed through just once and found him?

    Why in the hell should we cover Obama’s back with the Middle Class when he insists on doing stupid shit, and doubling or even tripling down on it even after it blows up in his stupid face?

    If the Middle Class doesn’t like what they’re getting, they know what the hell to do about it come November 2012. If they don’t, then they can’t blame the GOP for their own stupidity.
