Many of you have asked how yesterday's protest went against the judges who dared to follow the law therefore refusing to allow the Johnston/Palin custody battle to be sealed in order to allow Palin to bulldoze over Levi behind closed doors.Well I stopped by the courthouse yesterday around 12:00 noon.
This was still the scene at 12:15. (If Alaska had crickets you would be hearing them now.)
Nobody showed up. Not ONE person.
As most of you know this protest was encouraged by the lady who does Sarah's hair and the guy who wants to sniff her panties.
I have no idea if this rag tag group of Palin-bots is moving ahead with their harassing e-mails and phone calls, but if it is anywhere near as successful as this demonstration the judges probably won't even notice.
Celtic Diva has an update on this situation here.
Update: I forgot this little tidbit until somebody in the comment's thread. As I was leaving the courthouse, around 12:20, I happened to see a FOX News crew a few blocks away.
I thought they may have shown up to film the "protest", but when I asked them they said no they were there to film something else entirely and had NEVER HEARD of any protest.
That just kind of made my day.
Crickets? Zippo? Nada?
ReplyDeleteTeabaggers dropping the ball?
(Ew.....did I really just repeat the imagery of Teabaggers and balls?)
Now, that's a really effective "movement" with a lot of momentum. I guess without the corporate/fiscal $ponsorship of Koch, Murdoch and Dick Armey's "FreedomWorks," the Teabaggers don't amount to much.
Did I really read the Joe "YOU LIE" Wilson was out hiking with an intern yesterday?
ha! this pic is a metaphor for palin's fans.
ReplyDeletevacant.
kinda funny that they'll all raise hell from their keyboards but they won't bother to show up in person. real winners!
Such is the power of teabaggery. The only thing that unites teabaggers is their imbecility and their fear. Even the most rabid of the sheeple flock aren’t very committed to the “don’t punt Tripp” meme. Are we to believe that this is the tidal wave of grassroots passion that Palin will surf all the way to the White House?
ReplyDeleteGryphen the picture of the scene says it all!
ReplyDeleteThe grifter grannys followers like to scream and holler about EVERYTHING, but must be doing it from their moms basements and are unable to get out of their jammys long eneough to follow through.
Another point to this is why have none of her worshippers risen up to defend Trig, when he has been used as a "political football"??
And could you please use that profile pic of Serror from hawaii once in awhile, you know which one---the one where she looks 80 yrs old.
They're just a random bunch of armchair instigators. They'll make a couple of prank calls to the courthouse, but showing up in the cold to protest is out of the question.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone read ADN.com this morning?
ReplyDeleteThere's an article about new rules for renting the sports center in Wasilla due to the happenings at the Palin book signing... Oh and don't forget to read the comments!
Jessica didn't show up? Big brave Eddie didn't show up? What a limp d*** coward he is.
ReplyDeleteAnd what happened in the courtroom?
ReplyDeleteI note that the AK 'Palin cream's his jeans' radio talker hasn't posted a new message on Twitter since Jan 7 at 1:51 a.m.
ReplyDeleteWe know his show was going from 3 to 2 - lose of an hour, diff slot. When do we get the word it tanks further?
FCC got your tongue 'Panty Sniffer'?
Wow - how funny this is.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a bit of sanity prevailed when they realized that trying to harrass a judge in the town where they may have to VISIT a courtroom isn't a really smart thing to do?
Seems the Bots make hollow threats.
My prediction is that the turnout at the courthouse protest will resemble the Teabagger turnout at the polls in November. Registering to vote and then actually showing up at the proper polling place, not to mention knowing how to read a ballot and mark your "x" will probably be pretty difficult for a lot of these people, many of whom seem to have never seen a voting booth.
ReplyDeleteGryphen you had better be careful. Granny grifter might turn you in for taking pictures of government buildings. You know how strongly she feels about terrorism and all that grown up stuff.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Celtic Diva. Teabaggers are full of sound and fury, and a whole lot of nothing.
ReplyDeleteThis picture speaks a thousand words! To me, it is the REAL support $$$arahcuda has.
ReplyDeleteRemember when they went out to demonstrate against Dave Letterman? Something like 15 people showed, 10 of them from the media?
Now: ZERO!
Good going, $$$arahcuda! Keep it up!
Teabagger (n) – a species of subhuman (wasilla hillbillicus) recently determined by scientists as having been conceived in a colostomy bag and born in a cesspool. Easily identified by their pale skin, very limited intellect and peculiar habit of leaning to the far right and flourishing a Bible. Known for their inability to distinguish between the truth and a lie, this species frequently seeks out a queen over whom they can drool uncontrollably. Have been known to starve their own litters to support the queen’s insatiable demands. There are no plans to put this species on the endangered list; biologists are confident that they will simply destroy themselves.
ReplyDeleteHmm...maybe they wised up at the last minute after finding out Celtic Diva notified the courts.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Gryphen! It's a good reminder that Sarah's star is fading quickly.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Bristol/Van Flein are going to present her income as reason for sole custody.
Sarah uses the phrase "opposition research" pretty regularly. Maybe she is paying Bristol as a consultant (via BSMP) to find any negative references from those on Sarah's enemies' list and then forwards them to Meg for response.
The Pie Sky thing also seems fishy. I bet Harper Collins wouldn't pay for family expenses on the book tour. A normal person would pay for the expenses themselves, but that's not what a grifter does. Maybe she paid for expenses for her parents and Trig via Pie Sky? If true, it explains why she had to wave Trig around at each stop to make the case that she is officially advocating for families with DS and other disabilities. Her parents could then be listed as consultants for his specialized childcare during the book tour.
Could she pull the same thing for Bristol when Trig is at home? Any uncovered expenses for his medical treatments could be written off that way. Bristol could then be paid as a specialized caregiver.
Honestly, how Bristol makes a buck isn't something I care about very much and I hope she makes it on her own someday. I only wish her the best and hope she and Levi can come to a reasonable agreement.
It is a problem, however, if Sarah is setting up shell companies to funnel her PAC money for personal gain. Reminds me of how Jim and Tammy Faye Baker used to live high on the hog from viewers' contributions. SarahPAC contributors should be skeptical.
One of the reasons why I'm no longer a Republican is the way the GOP does this shell game of money. The wealthiest counties in America are now surrounding DC. Here's a link to a Forbes article about it.
http://www.forbes.com/2008/01/22/counties-rich-income-forbeslife-cx_mw_0122realestate.html
Contrast this list with how money was distributed in 2000. Some of the same counties appear, but the money is more spread out across the country. No wonder there is a Tea Party.

I listened to about 20 minutes of the Burke broadcast Celtic Diva links to on her blog. Seriously, how did that guy get his own radio show? He is boring, he repeats himself over and over, he's not smart or quick witted. He's just BAD. What a crappy show.
ReplyDeleteGryphen..Forgive me if I have missed something....but, even if it's just for me, When will the custody court date take place???
ReplyDeleteThanks
- this protest was encouraged by the lady who does Sarah's hair and the guy who wants to sniff her panties.
ReplyDeleteThat is gold, Gryphen, GOLD.
Guess they decided to stick with harassing phone calls, maybe emails too? who knows!
ReplyDeleteLOL, it does remind me of the Letterman protest, where the media outnumbered the actual protestors.
Wondering now...will Hannity cover it, and use footage of a huge crowd from some other event? Complete with leaves on the trees?
LMAO!
Fox News will report the official attendance number at eleventy-thousand teabaggers in 3... 2... 1...
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:24, here's the link to Joe "You Lie" Wilson and his hiking compainion:
ReplyDeletehttp://wonkette.com/413042/joe-wilson-hiking-appalachian-ish-trail-with-intern-babe
The intern notes in the link that she had been "living and working in Washington, D.C. for a Congressman." LIVING for a Congressman??
SUNNYJANE,
ReplyDeleteThat deserves a national outlet, please post that on the teabagger death threats against the cartoonist article at the top of Gryphens blog. There is a link to the main article. Oh please oh please get that out there for all to see.
Hmmm...?
ReplyDeleteThat sure was some ' weak ' tea the Tea-Baggers brewed... I can see right through it.
And Eddie Smurf !!! This is YOUR Hometown and YOUR Protest... and YOU refused to show up..? Isn't this EXACTLY what Ziegler ( the other known panty-sniffer )did outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre at the " Fire David Letterman Rally " once he saw the number of people who showed up...? I see a pattern here.
GrandMa had already ' neutered ' Tawd... looks like Smurf had a ' Dr's Appointment ' as well yesterday that wouldn't allow him to attend. Snip... Snip.... Didn't hurt a bit did it.
Bring a Dr's EXCUSE note today Eddie... before you go on the air.
Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteas a follow-up... we know Rishi works on Shannyn's Show there at KBYR as well as having to work switchboards at Eddies.
You can't blame Rishi if someone fooled him into letting them get on the air to ask Eddie a question about his previous show Topic that he Tweeted.THAT would be a shame.
I think the KBYR phone number could be found at Shannyn's web page..?... for those interested in THAT sort of thing.You too can be on the air.
UPDATE: to my first post.
ReplyDeleteSomeone in Alaska stop by the radio station as Eddie shows up for work. See if the Dr. is making him wear one of those 'cones ' around his neck today.... after the surgery.He might be ' licking His wounds ' after His attempted Protest.
Chow... Eddie... woof... woof.
Well done Grphen...thank you for being there becasue we couldn't.
ReplyDelete"Faux Newz was there and 4 million Patriots, were, also too, there"
ReplyDelete"The guy who wants to sniff her panties" Damn, too deep...lol!!
ReplyDeleteNow, as for her "stylist"...
I called several times to set an appointment. Get nothing but an answering machine. Now, how on earth does she expect run a successful business, earn money thata way?? hehehehe..
... and fire David Letterman, too, also.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering - I thought this entire custody matter was in front of the court in Palmer? Why was the protest supposed to be in Anchorage, then? Were there any protesters at the Palmer courthouse?
ReplyDeletekudos to you for going & taking the picture...it says it all.
ReplyDeletea Palin free world? So boring!
ReplyDeleteFolks, for a refresher, when you get the time, please look up the difinition of Teabagger. I don't know if I should laugh, cry, or just say, WTF??..
O/T..
Michael Steele is one of most obvious (Palin) tokens in the history of American politics. He ought to thank Barack Obama for his RNC postion. If Mr. Obama were not President, Steele wouldn't be the leader of a damn thing. Well, maybe leader of the clowns, or fools, or assholes, or.....
the reflection in the window to the left of the "825" is really cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's a protest rally? LOL
ReplyDeleteDang! I wanted to see Fox News coverage, where they use old clips to inflate the count of attendees.
I suspect that the only reason the tea bagger anti-health reform rallies were better attended is that the insurance companies paid for the buses and the cowboys to round up the sheeple.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the case filed in Palmer? What would be the point of demonstrating in Anchorage? Except of course that's where the media would be (had anyone decided to show up!!)
ReplyDeleteDid anyone check on the court in Palmer to make sure they weren't overwhelmed by bots?
FREE TRIPP JOHNSTON!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat pict. was Anchorage. Do you know anything of Palmer, or Wasilla's Court House?
