Anchorage citizen activist Andree McLeod has obtained a six-month protective order against a woman who threatened her life over her public records requests for former Gov. Sarah Palin's official e-mails.
The woman, Clare Goodchild, also of Anchorage, admitted making the threats and apologized in court to McLeod. Goodchild said she "meant no harm" when she said she had the cross hairs of her gun scope on McLeod's head and that McLeod had "used up too much oxygen."
"I find it very offensive that Andre Mclead (sic) is asking the state for every e-mail written or received in ANY account maintained by Palin and her husband," Goodchild said in the e-mail to the Daily News, signing it only as "Clare."
"Where does this b*tch get off thinking the public should shell out for her revenge for the Palin family. I've heard enough from this, and I would like to use stronger words to express my feeling for Andre (sic). Well... I think Andre (sic) has used up to (sic) much oxygen. So I have my scope cross hair on her head! She better watch out, the request may have been her last!"
Let this be a reminder to those of you who wonder why more people don't come forward with information about the Palins.
However as I have said many times in the past if there were more of us willing to tell what we know, and to stand up to this kind of threatening language and bullying from the Sister Sarah and her crazed followers, we could finally end her reign of terror and send her back to the obscurity from which she emerged.
I have to add that this case with Andree is very uncommon. Most of the threats we receive are from Palin flying monkeys living out of state. For somebody up here, who should know better, to still be this delusional is very sad. As well as a little frightening.

It is hard to stand up to the likes of palin, but there is safety in numbers. Trust is important here. My suggestion is for the fearful to find one person they can trust and go from their. If each one finds one or two, the group with have power to overcome the fear of the bully quitter and the flying monkeys who think they are protecting her and will find themselves in jail.

Here is that violently threatening woman's MySpace page. Big on Jesus, but not on civility.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.myspace.com/claregood
Here is the incredible disconnect. These people claim to be have integrity, honesty and spirituality and then behave rabid animals. Honesty and integrity??? Spiritual home??? You have got to be kidding me.
ReplyDelete"... grew up in a spiritual home, going to church several times a week," the e-mail writer said in a subsequent message. She described herself as "far from perfect, but I know I have honesty and integrity."
OMG. Look at her myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/claregood
ReplyDeleteReally????
unfortunately satan's spawn like to refer to themselves as Christian with honesty and integrity.
ReplyDeleteTrue believers KNOW there are no bragging rights to honesty or integrity - you just ARE.
Anytime someone brags about their purity and faith - it's a red flag warning that lies are about to be spewed.
Claire... If I was the judge .. you would be doing a few weeks or months in jail.
ReplyDeleteClaire... would your friend Jesus threaten Andree?
I don 't doubt that this woman THINKS she is honest, has integrity and is listening to God. After all, she hears the same thing from Palin daily..."just a small town Christian mom who is being railroaded by the press, who believes in God and country, and that there exceptionalism that is America, and loves the Constitution and those founding dads who listened to God also, and wrote that Christian document that we believe in strongly, so I can't understand the haters out there who want me to sit down and shut up." They fall for her crap hook, line and sinker, and then feel the need to defend her from the evil haters with facts who would take her down, or at least, find out the truth. They are offended by the truth, because Palin is not about the truth, never has been. Good for Andree...we have to keep fighting the evil that is Sarah Palin, and the real threat to this country.
ReplyDeleteSarah just brings out the best in people...
ReplyDeleteWonder how much money Claire has sent to SarahPAC.
Goodchild should be in jail. Why is O.K. to threaten someone's life and when confronted she gets to apologize and walks to spew her hate again. Christian my ass.
ReplyDeleteGoodchild said she "meant no harm" when she said she had the cross hairs of her gun scope on McLeod's head and that McLeod had "used up too much oxygen."
ReplyDeleteThat's an direct death threat, she should receive jail time.
We need more ppl like Shailey Tripp.
funny that she finds it "offensive" that someone wants to see their elected officials emails. really? that's offensive?
ReplyDeletejust another example that the folks who "identify with palin" (her own words) are fucking insane.
I'm speechless.
ReplyDeleteLet's see - Clare Goodchild says she goes to church 2 or 3 times a week, but was drinking when she threatened Andree.
ReplyDeleteDoes Clare drink and then go to church or go to church and then drink?
The term Xstian no longer has any meaning since the right wingers/crazies high jacked it.
Just one of many followers of the Pathetic Palin cult of hate. Those people are delusional.
ReplyDeleteOhiovoter
Isn't there some way we can send a message to this hateful phony Christian? She is really just a false heart. a poor excuse for a person of honesty and integrity. She shall be judged by her words and actions, Hell-bound she is.
ReplyDeleteI come from a family of haters like Clare. Some people are energized by their hate. And the targets of their hate increase in number and intensity as those people grow older.
ReplyDeleteThat is what people like Palin appeal to,that is where they themselves frequently live. Look at her and Beck and Bill'O and Rush.
Clare is to be pitied but she is very dangerous if she thinks those thoughts, sees those mental pictures,and issues those kinds of directed, personal threats .
Friends of the palins will never cease being friends of the palins. Friends defend each other. However, the people who actually know them/her would never give haters the time of day. Haters gonna hate. Radical libs and conservs prove that everyday
ReplyDeletei want to see the picture of this death threat person to show the world how christian she is.
ReplyDeleteHow can you read that and think she "meant no harm"????
ReplyDeleteOh my. Just read her MySpace page. Grew up here in Portland. Good riddance, thumper.
ReplyDeleteEVERY restraining order is also coupled with an order to remove all weapons from the home and access from the offender. That is standard protocol. So why wasn't she forced to surrender her weapons? She just has to stay 500 feet away.
ReplyDeleteGoodchild said in court that she and her husband own four guns. Ray ordered her to stay more than 500 feet from McLeod's home and directed her to not confront, stalk or contact McLeod.
All someone has to tell me is that they are 'christian' and I immediately go on alert! That Palin crowd that spews their christianity is a very frightening group. Their actions, language, etc. in no way signifies a faith in God. Their 'queen' is the same way - doesn't even attend that Church in Wasilla that she indicates belonging. Plus, sister Sarah has a potty mouth, lies, cheats, is unethical, a racist, etc. Just vet her in Alaska and while on the campaign with Mr. McCain.
ReplyDeleteJail time. How is a direct death threat not resulting in jail time?
ReplyDeleteOops, I'm sorry I said I'd kill you, just kidding!
Integrity, honesty , goes to church numerous times weekly but was DRUNK when she wrote it?
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, that beats all! Seems to be maybe sister needs to be reminded what a christian really is. this is an example of the quality of the Palinbots and the lack of anything even remotely associated with integrity honesty and christian values.
L O S E R
Palin should be in prison for inciting hatred against President Obama and his family. She is being protected as a mouth piece for the teabaggers and republicans; she is paid big bucks to keep the hate & lies stirred up. She deserves a padded cell as she is mean and mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteShe should have been charged with a hate crime for the crosshairs and the murders of the innocent and the assination attempt on Gabby. Rebecca Mansour also should be charged as well for doing the work of Palin and profiting from it.
This woman who threatened Andree should be in jail.
Good news: She is "straight".
ReplyDeleteBetter news: She says her religion is: "Christian-other". Why say that instead of Christian?
It is actually a good thing she puts it that way, because there are a lot of real Christians that find this woman's threats unchristian.
But if that is really her myspace-
where she lists her status as "single" then why does the linked ADN article in G's post have the folowing?:
Goodchild said in court that she and her husband own four guns. Ray ordered her to stay more than 500 feet from McLeod's home and directed her to not confront, stalk or contact McLeod."
This woman said in her posts:
"I am a conservative, grew up in a spiritual home, going to church several times a week,"Then from what is supposedly her myspace:
'Straight', 'christian-other',and 'single'; and yesterdays shirtless Craiglist trolling resigned Republican post here at IM comes to mind.
I'm sure she fancies herself a good Christian woman.
ReplyDeleteWho would Jesus call a bitch who takes up too much oxygen?
Before Palin-bots take offense: The reason McLeod wanted to see emails from EVERY account the Palins had is because the Palins were using private email accounts to conduct state business.
ReplyDeleteEven GOP activists are fleeing from Palin..in droves
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/02/24/109399/even-gop-activists-are-turning.html#storylink=omni_popular#ixzz1FAn1ZYAm
Umm, what does she say when she does mean harm?
ReplyDeleteI'm also surprised the judge didn't require that all firearms be removed from her home. There was probably no chance that she would have actually murdered McLeod, but the offense was not planning murder, it was threatening McLeod. Since she expected McLeod to take the threat seriously (why else would she make it?), she should have been given the message that the police and courts also take it seriously. If she has a rifle with a telescopic sight (as "cross hairs" implies), to leave the rifle in her possession while requiring her to stay 500 feet away from McLeod looks uncomfortably like a test of marksmanship.
According to malia litman the APD knew about this but did not investigate it until after the shooting in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteGuess an email password and you get jail time, threaten to kill someone and they slap you on the wrist.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock of shit.
I bet SP is ecstatic that she has such adoring fans who will kill for her.
ReplyDeleteGees, just looking at her MySpace page gives me the creeps. This woman is disturbed.
ReplyDeleteDo you think those people in uniforms at the bottom of the page were her or her husband (taken long ago because she says she is 50) or her kids. Gee, trained killers with guns making threats, cute.
Doesn't Claire realize that McLeod is Republican? If she did, can you imagine the tone of the threats (or the actual behavior) had McLeod been a liberal Democrat?
Scary old board.
Didn't this Clare woman publicly make the threat via Craigslist? Seems she was hoping someone else would take her threat to the next step. APD should have seized her guns and thrown her in jail. Heck, they should charge Palin with inciting the threat. She's the one who made the case Andree was seeking revenge and she's the one who, as governor, called for a public backlash against ethics complaint filers. And then there's the gun scope cross hairs thingy.
ReplyDeleteIt's frustrating watching the AK corruption from afar with no ability to have an impact. I'd definitely want to go to the Anchorage Assembly meeting and make a stink about the false police statement attempting to cover up Todd's sex scandal.
It is amazing that the queen of don't sit down and shut up has her adoring fans trying to make people sit down and shut up. I guess they don't see the irony.
ReplyDeleteThis should be sent to David Korn at Mother Jones and Chris Mathews.

The Anchorage Daily News says this in their story too.
This is why it is important to read the whole story at the link.
That is what the subscribers read today.
The ADN deserves some credit for this story, and they deserve to have it read in full, and the link spread.
Why Andree is a hero:
ReplyDelete"This came because I exercised my rights to challenge the actions of public officials," McLeod said. "I continue to do that, I can't stop doing it because of a threat."

WHAT IS ACTUALLY IMPORTANT TO PRESIDENT SARAH PALIN?
ReplyDeleteTalk about Mark Ballas having to drag Sarah's non dancing big gut daughter's fat ass around the dance floor and Sarah has to comment and defend her daughter.
Talk about Joe the author living next door to Sarah Paln and she gets her cheating husband to build a 14 ft fence and has to tell the world she can't garden in her shorts any more because she is scared for her and Piper.
Talk about a kid looking at Sarah's email because she was so crooked she tried to bypass having to account for her official secured state email and used a yahoo email account with a simple password and Sarah tells the world how scared her and Bristol were living in the boonies. What does Sarah want? She wants mean school girl revenge, lock this young kid up and throw away the key and his life. Oh but have her kid cut school bus brake lines threatening lives of other kids and guess what? No prison or jail time for her son. Her son goes to Iraq and becomes a limo driver for an officer for a year while mommy says he is a combat vet. Not very presidential of her.
Talk about Sarah’s husband paying for prostitutes and Sarah gets her lawyers to call the Anchorage Police Dept to post an unofficial press release to just one newspaper saying he was not in involved in a prostitution ring. Trying to misdirect the public was not very presidential of her.
Talk about Sarah creating fake internet profiles to boost her and her daughter’s failures and we hear from her employee through face book, but what do we hear from Sarah? Not very presidential of her.
Oh but have a fellow Alaskan citizen's life threatened by a Sarah follower and what do we hear from Sarah Palin? Nada! Not very presidential of her.
Oh but have a fellow American shot at in the head because Sarah used cross hairs to incite a crazy guy and what do we hear from Sarah? Me Me Me! Not very presidential of her.
Oh but have a fellow American citizen running for president against her ticket and have his life threatened by many Sarah follower and what do we hear from Sarah? “He is paling around with TERRORISTS”. Not very presidential of her.

They call that PALIN JUSTICE!
Hiring Palin loyalist and high school BFFs to work for you in the Alaskan government to protect your incompetence.
They call that PALIN JUSTICE!
Palin justice also means having two blackberries to call people to keep your husband and kids outa jail.
They call that PALIN JUSTICE!

This women belongs in jail.her weapons should be taken away and I wonder why a person feels the need to tell others they are christian. Being a Christian should be seen by how a person lives their lives and how they treat others. No need to tell others. it should be seen.
ReplyDeleteThis is bizarre... by doing some research on Facebook based on Clare's photo album identifying her kids' names and their friends in the picture, it turns out that Clare's FB name is Clare Purcella and she says her maiden name is O'Neill.
ReplyDeleteNo mention of Jesus on her FB page, and her daughter's surname is now "Dorsett" instead of "Irish."
A truly effed up woman, and keeping dibs on someone like that is NOT being stalkerish!
Heh. Palin's wholesome Christian followers at work.
ReplyDelete"Goodchild said she 'meant no harm' when she said she had the cross hairs of her gun scope on McLeod's head and that McLeod had 'used up too much oxygen.' "
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess among the Palinistas, gun scope cross hairs are a sign of affection and saying that someone has "used up too much oxygen" is just like saying "I ❤ Andree."
Clare Goodchild is nothing more than a piece of Palin panty sniffing trash. She is an ignorant bully who sees fit to terrorize any who dare to not kiss Palin's ass. She nothing more than a common thug and should be treated as such. I've scraped better shit than her from the bottom of my boots.
If Palin is so noble and honorable, how come her sycophants all seem to be part of this shithead posse of disaffected, cousin humping, goober morons with more toes than teeth? I have yet to see any Ph.D.s or Nobel Laureates backing her. However, there's certainly no shortage of imbecile asshats like Goodchild clogging the ranks of Palin's supporters. Honestly, I sincerely doubt that the mean IQ of Palin supporters would make triple digits.
As Forrest Gump's mama always used to say, "Stupid is as stupid does."
And Goodchild does stupid.

ReplyDeleteBecause she's White.
If she was Native, she'd be in jail.
Fired from her job.
Ordered to ASAP screening (Alcohol/substance abuse program) and follow recommendations, which is always in every case automatically at least 6 weeks of outpatient treatment no matter what your alcohol use is, which costs up to several thousand dollars.
No use of alcohol and cannot enter an establishment that serves alcohol.
And have children under the age of 18 removed from her home, or at a minimum be assessed and responsible to Child Protective Services.
If she was Native.
Bummer.
I won't say how, but I knew Claire and I can personally attest to the fact that she was indeed bit paranoid and obsessive.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this, JG.
ReplyDeleteI was really hurt when someone implied I was "not a patriot" and even worse, as bad as Sarah herself, because I haven't/won't go "on the record" about Sarah talking about her tubal ligation. I've seen what happens to people who even SLIGHTLY cross Sarah or "tattle" on her...even some of Sarah's closest former friends whom she dubbed her "valley pal-ee's" simply stopped singing her praises--they didn't even say anything bad, just stopped saying anything good...and they have lost jobs, gotten traffic tickets literally every day for things like "crooked license plate frame obscuring county name" until the fines are so huge they lose their license. I know two people this has happened to and have heard about many more. Sarah has a handful of cops still in her pocket, God knows why...maybe she has dirt on them...but they do her bidding, big time. My ex BIL challenged her on something extremely minor and you don't even want to know the hell he's been through with his tires being slashed FOUR times in five weeks, and him getting hassled to death by his local cops.
It just is not as easy as people think. Yes, she's a know-nothing dingbat who'd need a miracle to get a yes-or-no question right on the third try.
But...she has SERIOUS muscle behind her petty vindictive nature.
I don't know what exactly gryphen knows, but if he's like most valley rez...he knows that all but stealing Trig and doing a piss poor job of faking pregnant are truly the LEAST of Sarah's skeletons.
