One Homer resident's brush with Sarah Palin leads to a confrontation and a trampling of her first amendment rights.

From Mudflats:

Risking accusations of being all “Wee-Wee’d Up“, one Homer woman made a sign in her shed. She then took the 30 foot by 3 foot banner out to the boat harbor. It said “WORST GOVERNOR EVER“. Kathleen Gustafson is a teacher married to a local commercial fisherman. She felt like Sarah Palin had let the state down by becoming a dollar-chasing celebrity and ignoring the oath of office she’d sworn on a Bible.

Kathleen was motivated by the fact Palin was using the very place where her family makes a living to fortify the Palin personality cult-pretending to do the very thing they worked so hard to sustain. Initially, Kathleen just wanted to waste a little of the camera crew’s time, since Palin wasted so much of her time purporting to represent Alaska’s interests.

She didn’t imagine Palin would be so easy to draw out.

For anybody who wants to get a glimpse of the REAL Sarah Palin, Shannyn Moore's post, and the accompanying video, are a must see!

(By the way Bristol is also in the video, and though she is wearing a jacket, it appears that the rumors about her pregnancy may turn out to be just that, rumors.)

Update:  It appears that a local reporter was also left singed by his brush with Palin and her minions.

Update 2: Okay I watched that video a couple of more times, and now I am not at all sure that was Bristol in the red jacket.  That may very well have been Willow.  Sometimes those two girls look SO much alike. (Okay that is DEFINITELY Willow.  I slowed the video down and when she looks directly at the camera there is no doubt.  Sorry for the confusion, when I was first tipped off that this video existed the tipper had already identified the girl as Bristol, and I guess I did not have my early morning eyes focused well enough to notice the mistake.)

    Defender of the constitution, my ass. People who went to the dock were illegally searched which violates the constitution. The woman's sign was torn down which violates her rights to free speech. I guess we only want those constitutional rights for those on the Palin fan bus.

    By the way, Bristol's personality in this tape lends credibility to all the people who claim she is a snotty, spoiled brat.

    And, also, too, wasn't your father a teacher? How dare you give that look of disgust for teachers, Sarah. How dare you?

    I would love to see Alaskan's flood the state with banner signs everywhere her bogus Discovery show is being taped. All it would take is the same blue banner, made into signs...posted everywhere she goes. It would also be great to have plenty of cameras ready to get her snarky comments and those of her disrespectful juvenile delinquent kids.

    Come on, Alaska. You can do it. You can stand up to Palin and expose her for the farce that she is.

    I was speechless after I watched this video...this video needs to go viral far and wide, so everyone can see that Sarah Palin is full of shit when she says she is fighting for the constitution. Obviously she is confusing our constitution with some other country's like Cuba, Iran, or North Korea where dissent is illegal.

    WTF is that eyeroll with Bristol when the woman said she was a teacher? The disdain is Sarah's look is the real Sarah Palin...a hateful ignorant bitch.

    So much for the First and Second Amendments.

    I guess we know what Sarah Palin means by a common sense constitutionalist now. Her private goons get to frisk law abiding citizens on public property (imagine if "Obama" did that to her supporters) and and tear down signs on private property (again, imagine...).

    And we can add another lie to the Pantheon of Palin Untruths. She wanted us to believe that she was on a boat , working her “butt off” for her “commercial fishing” business,. She was on a guided sportsfishing boat for TLC. Big difference! And either way, you don't watch halibut take the bait- they are in deep water!

    If anyone knows someone in a state where Alaska's "worst governor ever" is campaigning, get them to make a banner and show up!!

    Her sarcastic attitude shows so much disrespect. She does not want to engage with this woman for anything but the drama. "OOOooooh, she thinks I'm a celebrity!" "Oooooh, you WANTED me to be your governor!" Her tone is so disrespectful, she has no idea how to engage in a normal discourse and exchange of ideas with someone. And of course, she CANNOT take the high road, smile and move on. She has to respond.

  12. I have a question: Has it been established 100% fact tht the Palins are not licensed nor have a halibut fishing business?

    I am asking for it occurs to me that Sarah claimed this woman's identity, a piece of it on her FB post. It appears Palin needed to make a preemptive strike via FB spinning Sarah is in Homer "busting her ass" catching Halibut for the family business. The Palins were in Homer for the business of filming their reality show.

    The exchange between Sarah and her daughter rolling their eyes and their facial language is reealing.I immediately thought of Bristol posting Mercedes "has no title". Her attitude was Mercedes is beneath Bristol who then falsely accused Mercedes of being a lazy ass grifter essentially with humiliating garbage to wipe her feet on Mercedes after making dirt out of her. It is revealing the Palin daughter in a sarcastic and rude tone made those air quotation marks arrogantly informing her Sarah "is working for the UNITED STATES". lol, as what? A community organizer? I don't recall any elections held to hire Sarah which reeks of hypocrisy of Palin double standards.

    Mad Lib time again: It is Sarah who wants people to shut up, not be heard or seen, it's Sarah's entourage job to make sure no one voices their opinion nor state their disappointment in her.

    Once again, what and who Sarah claims to be is quite the opposite
    of her true self.

    BS....Sarah upholds constituional rights. BS Sarah is so f'ing proud of her dad, a teacher! This video is hilarious, just priceless capturing Sarah Jekyll and Sarah Hyde!!

    One of her goons ripped the sign down, Todd and a goonie attempted to block the recording. Interesting that no one said..let's just move on". Sarah has an entourage and even the daughter.who all believe Sarah and they are entitled to do crap and get away with it.

    I don't want that teenager "working for" nor representing the US. Nor do I support her lying ass self representing unwed teen moms either.

    I am not so sure that it was Bristol in the video-- I think the hood may have been on to make that identification more difficult.

    It could have been Willow - I hope some one with some tech skills can isolate that frame and blow it up so we can examine it.

    I understand that the bigger issue here is the bravery of Kathleen Gustafson. She challenged SP and gave this phony grifter a small piece of reality. I admire and respect what she did. And in so doing, she provoked that nasty response from SP and grifterette about teachers. How can this ex-governor possibly rationalize such a dismissive attitude toward teachers ??? She is exposed, once again, for the willfully ignorant mean girl that she is.

    HOWEVER, for those of us interested in BABYGATE, there is another matter. BP seems to have a pattern of er.. getting pregnant a lot. So if this little junior "know nothing" is identified, it would give us some important information.

    I wonder why the trooper didn't step in when the sign was torn down, unless he didn't see it. Hats off to Ms. Gustafson for standing her ground and not backing down. Hats off to Mr. Sullivan for standing his ground

    Here's what I got from it:

    2. Her comment about the military is proof positive her goals as presidente would be permanent war. War everywhere and all the time 25/8.

    3. I vote Willow, too, but also, too, that by putting that fashionable hat on Willow, Sarah was hoping that everyone thought is was Bristol who according to WTF may be hiding out in Seattle.

    Palin is a thin skinned teenaged mean girl. Kathleen stood her ground, made her point, and was polite in the process. That shrill "oh you WANTED me as you governor" would have sent me over the edge. But Kathleen was still civil, no matter how the Palin hill billies acted.

    At first I thought the unidentified daughter was Bristol, too, but Bristol towers over Sarah and this girl does not. What really sets the two sisters apart is the million dollar smile Willow inherited from her mom, and of course this girl glaring and chewing gum, not smiling.

    This is such classic Sarah, that big sweet smile plastered on her face all the while she's being as nasty as hell. "Oh, you WANTED me to be your governor!" "Oh, she thinks I'm a celebrity, isn't that sweet!" Then she goes into her I'm-in-front-of-the-cameras schtick about the constitution and the troops, complete with the same words, same hand motions she uses at rallies. It's just weird.

    I'll give her this. She might have made herself look like a bitch to those of us who know us, but her bots will see that smile and say, "Oh, see, she was being so nice to that nasty woman." And she's obviously good at throwing her opponents off--the "so you wanted me to be your governor?" line was classic; it took the woman a moment to come back from it. Then she goes into those platitudes about the constitution and the military that would be almost impossible for most people to argue with. She might be an idiot, but she has a lifetime of practice at being a bitch.

    Whether that daughter is Willow or Piper or Paper or Trippy or whatever the heck their names are, I think we can all agree she is so incredibly rude and patronizing to that woman that it's beyond belief. When she makes that "whole United States" motion with her hands, oh my gosh, what an incredibly rude, rude young woman. The teacher held her ground with class and should be proud of herself.

    Did you notice, too, that in classic Palin style, Palin dodged questions put before her? I can't bring myself to watch it a 3rd time to get this absolutely right, but it was something along the lines of "protecting our Constitution" by "fighting for our Constitution."

    So incredibly depressing that anyone supports this shallow, shallow drama queen. The most empty-headed nonsense I've ever seen.

    Over at HuffPo, there are over 2,000 comments and counting. People are clearly thrilled that ONE PERSON finally stood up and confronted Palin.

    ONE PERSON.

    It's painfully clear that people everywhere are desperate for these type of encounters: unscripted and captured on video, pictures that prove what the media will not about Palin. Can't anyone in Alaska - citizens who truly have a legitimate constituent's beef with the Quitter - step up the way Kathleen has done and CONFRONT her using one solid talking point?? I marvel at how she is treated with kid gloves where ever she goes...just because you live in a state or town where she has some influence does not mean that you have to put up with her crap. Yes, people there have guns. I grew up in south Texas...we had guns too. But no one put up with someone's crap, even in a small town, when they knew that person was a problem, a danger to themselves and others. Bravo Kathleen!

    BTW, what kind of father is Todd, letting his daughter behave that way in public. I can understand how his wife has symbolically castrated him so he has no sway over her, but his daughter? Good grief, what a tacky family.

    Also, too, I believe I read that Piper called someone an A-hole in public last year. Anyone else remember that. I am not mentioning it to diss on Piper, just as yet another example of the piss-poor parenting of Todd and Sowah. Mama Grizzley indeed. One of these days one of those bears is going to meet her and swipe that smirk off her plastic face. Sorry - but Sarah brings just brings out those sort of comments. No one else, just her.

    “WORST GOVERNOR EVER“

    That is for certain the Colony Girl attitude. Does Bristol carry herself like a punk when off camera? Didn't teachers of Bristol say she was the nice one? Her Fakebook rants are one thing, I didn't think she conducted herself like that in public. Willow has been documented as a tough girl, bully and agitator before.

    Bristol or Willow, they are acting according to how they were raised. She was fulfilling the role of provocateur. This is not the first time a scene like that has been played out. Great to have the video. She was trying to get Kathleen Gustafson to sink to their level and look bad. That is what thugs that do that routine are about. Kathleen didn't take the bait. Both Gustafson and Billy Sullivan are heroes.

    When Palin can't produce cash, the handlers will flood the market with tell-all books.

"I'm just so proud of her."

    Kathleen Gustafson conducted the first real interview that Sarah's been subjected to since the Couric interview. As expected, Sarah FAILED.

    Kathleen Gustafson deserves a medal.

    Nobody would search me for anything! Unless it was a uniformed policeman of course. I think people are just caught off-guard, surprised and so they submit.

    I think it was Willow because Bristol doesn't have much of a chin. The girl in the video appears to have more chin. No matter which one it was, she was a Palin kid and was disrespectful to an adult with both of her "family values" parents standing right there!

    Was that Track, also, too? I couldn't tell which one was Todd - I think the taller of the two. I thought both men moving back and forth in front of the video camera were intimidating. The Palin family in action. Wow.

    I like the part when Robot Child says "She represents the United States." As only Sarah Palin can quit Alaska and represent the USA. Can a teacher represent the United States, Robot Child? I tell ya, the kid needs a good deprogramming clinic.

  69. What a condescending, patronizing performance from a shallow, ignorant woman.When she made that smirk after Mrs. Gustafson told her she wasa teacher, I wanted to smack her right across the face. No wonder, she always has a daughter or two around, she needs backup for bullying tactics. Her daughter was a disgrace. The whole family display was classless but who is surprised?
    I am willing to contribute to the signs, let me know. I think this will add some strain on the part of TLC to refrain from filming it if they are all over. Remember these bullies can take down one sign,but hundreds. Plus, those of you who are familiar with commercial fishing should continue combating her lies with the truth. I thought it was hysterical when one poster said that you couldn't see halibut being baited. So now, Sarah can see the bottom of the ocean, just as she can see Russia. Tell people that she has no license to fish for halibut.
    I would love to see those signs also support Mrs. Gustafson. Sarah had no right to ridicule her. Mrs. G. had class when she stood her ground. Kudos to the poster who said that maybe Sarah's non-supporters should start exercising their Second Amendment rights. Remember what her followers tried to do with Joe McGinnis. Please do the signs.

    That is not Willow it is Bristol. you can see the length and darkness of her hair peeking out of the hood she has on. Someone mentioned she's taller than Sarah so it can't be her, but look again, Bristol isn't standing, she's half leaning/half sitting on something behind her.

    It is Bristol no doubt. She's more freckle-y than her sister. I think the two look nothing alike. Willow is far more beautiful than Bristol, this is Bristol.

    Be too hopeful to believe Willow and Piper are getting ready for school next week so they aren't pimping with their mother but that is defin. Bristol and she has a pooch.

    So. I still think that's Bristol. Her and willow have different voices and willows face shape is more angular like todds. And willow doesn't have a belly. She's pretty toned.

  75. For what it is worth here is a Willow profile

    Whoever it is the video copies I've seen the face looks weird and as if someone had some work done.

    The Willow look.

    Mercede could probably tell in a second who it is. I am still undecided. That was not how I think of Bristol's personality, but she may have been good at concealing her true self.

    Dear Lord... Bristol with those hand gestures as if the woman didn't get it ... She looks as petty as her mother.

    Anyway, I'm not so sure Sarah was being condescending with her eye rolls in response to the woman's comment about being a teacher. Inside Sarah lies a very insecure little person -- nothing close to what she tries to put on the outside. I think she saw that this woman wasn't some piece of trailer trash, and knew she wasn't of the mindset of one of her hopelessly gullible followers. This woman saw through her bogus facade and Sarah knew it. I think her look was one of intimidation, actually. Sarah's not used to having to face REAL criticism. For so long she's hid behind the safety of scripted communications, Meg Stapleton, and Fox News. This woman simply wasn't buying Sarah's bullshit and Sarah knew it. Hence Sarah's petty attempts to bring her down a notch with her childish taunts.

    How anyone could see this child anywhere near any existing public office is beyond me...

    First a mini-rant from GA, which was subjected to a twitter twatter's visit today:

    Palin, you sure as he-double hockey sticks don't work for me, a US citizen, and you sure as he-double hockey sticks ain't speaking for me about what I feel about the US Constitution, so....

    SIT THE HE-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS DOWN AND STFU!

    I can't tell which daughter that is in the video. There is a pooch and something more. Is Willow porking up? If it is Bristol what did they do with Tripp? What happened to the office job? Do you know for sure they chew gum? Whacky tabacci is popular with kids or tabaca chew, ak-47.

    I can't wait to see the video on the lamestream news cycle! No rolling eyes, heh Sarah?

    Didn't you know that we educators are The Great Satan? Seriously. Whenever I mention that I am an educator or teacher on a conservative website, the wolves start to foam at the mouth.

    Palin loves to play that card. We educators are all "the elite" that are trying to destroy the Constitution!

  86. Unbelievable! Is this woman in 5th grade?

    Let me get this straight. Palin goes onto PRIVATE PROPERTY, confronts a person with a protest sign that would only be seen by a few if Palin hadn't gotten her panties in a twist, and her passe TEAR DOWN THE SIGN as Palin talks about protecting free speech?

    This video will haunt Palin as she runs for office. I am thrilled that this was caught on video tape.

    The fact that some people think that Palin is qualified to be POTUS and deal with international relationships astounds me. She goes after a woman with a banner in the middle of Alaska. The banner isn't even in a populated area. But Palin has be the small petty teenage who picks a fight?

    I say give this woman the code to the nuclear missiles! Let's have Palin as our head of diplomacy with the middle east.

    She's ready. Right?

    Can you imagine if Palin had to face the daily protest signs that GW and Obama have dealt with?? What is Palin going to do when she runs for POTUS; get security to sweep the streets before Palin drives by?

    The Republicans are supporting the destruction of our Constitution. At least Sharron Angle admits it.

    I can't wait to see what Palin posts on her FB acct to explain away why her group destroyed this sign.

    Any word as to who pulled the sign down?

    Why do the Conservatives sell themselves so short?Can thy not find a better representative?
    I saw President Obama speak in Austin today in front of a thousand University of Texas students.His message was always positive and inspiring.
    Sarah on the other hand seems mean and petty every time she opens her mouth.
    I really don't want the rest of the world to see these nasty children and think that is what all American children are like..Never in my life have I seen more poorly behaved rude children.This kid is creepy in the video.I think she is even swearing.

    Yes, by her profile, how she is chewing, her voice, it is Bristol. I know this. Gryph- please come out and make the call so we can stop speculating and giving Palin any ammo that we "bloggers" don't know what we are talking about. It is Bristol, NOT Willow.
