Is Sarah Palin about to be sued for $100,000? Update!


From TMZ:

Sarah Palin is the mastermind of a dark conspiracy to punish an Alaskan citizen who dared to speak out against her over the traffic situation in Juneau -- this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

A man named Theodore Thoma claims he had a serious issue with traffic in the neighborhood surrounding the Governor's Mansion back in 2009 ... back when Sarah was the Gov. In fact, Thoma claims he proposed state action to solve the problem and even made up signs and fliers to push the issue.

But Palin didn't take kindly to the criticism, says Thoma, and she "undertook a campaign against [Theodore] ... to punish, embarrass, discredit and silence" him.

Thoma wants Palin to fork over more than $100k for all of the harm she's caused.

You know I searched my memory and I don't believe I have ever heard of Mr. Thoma before. I do vaguely remember something about a traffic issue in Juneau, but I cannot for the life of me remember where I read, or heard about it. (If any of you have better memories please let me know.)

Palin herself spent virtually NO time in the Juneau mansion during 2009, but that does not mean she did not do exactly what this man is accusing her of doing.

I am currently up to page 109 in Geoffrey Dunn's book, and I am once again amazed by how aggressive and petty Palin can be toward anybody who dares stand up to her, or get in the way of her ambitions. She never forgets a grudge and treats anybody who criticizes her as a sworn enemy for life.

Essentially if everybody that Palin had mistreated on her way to where she is right now were to file a suit against her, she would spend virtually the rest of her life in courtrooms. Not exactly a troubling thought in my mind.

BTW here is what I found on Court View thus far. I actually do not expect it to go far, but you never know.

Update: I KNEW I had read about this before.  Thanks for the anonymous commenter who sent me the links.

In response to Mr. Thoma's efforts to control the amount of traffic flowing through that neighborhood, Palin of course used her children to bludgeon him.

"I wanted to offer him to hide Piper's trampoline further in a corner of the yard ... if it's a matter of not giving anyone anything to look at so they'll go away then I'd ask Piper to not giggle so loudly on her buoy swing or bicycle in the yard," Palin said in a written statement, referring to her 7-year-old daughter.

That was the dog whistle which signaled Palin's Flying Monkeys to take wing and go on the attack:

It seems that Governor Palin is so popular with tourists that thousands of people are walking from the docks to the governor's mansion in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the first family. Mr. Thoma feels that this -- along with Piper Palin's lemonade stand, trampoline and buoy swing -- is "bringing down the neighborhood." It seems that Mr. Thoma doesn't enjoy the Palin children very much.

From there of course the whole thing just went viral, and Mr. Thoma found himself under assault from people all across the country, who had never even heard of Juneau before Sarah Palin came on the scene.

You know what?  He just might have a very solid case here.  And if he is successful I have to imagine that there are a number of OTHER Palin victims who might just follow his lead.

Hmm I think I have a phone call to make.

    I vaguely recall a person complaining about the traffic when visitors and cruise ships were in port where traffic was a problem of the tours passing the Gov's house, creating a problem for businesses and parking.

    There were articles written about it on blogs as it may be the same time as when Piper had her lemonade stand.

    This is what comes to my mind.

  3. I remember it, I read it in the ADN. There was the big thing about the traffic and Grifter made fun saying something about it being Pipers lemonade stand causing the traffic jam or something along those lines. I even think something was mentioned about a trampoline. I think I remember this guys name also but I wouldn't swear on that. But it should be in the archives in the ADN. Not sure if the flats had it in a article or not but it might have been posted over there also.

    Sarah is permanently stuck in mean girl middle school. Her interview the other day with Greta revealed that her hatred of Katie Couric knows no boundaries. Couric IS a journalist who happened to ask Palin follow up questions when Palin couldn't answer simple questions.
    Funny, Charlie Gibson showed Sarah's lack of knowledge of international politics when he asked her if she knew what the Bush Doctrine was. Yes, it was condescending because like many other people, Gibson couldn't believe that the Republicans who pick someone so ignorant to run for VP.

    If that's how Sarah reacts to people who show what a light weight ignorant person she is, she is going to need to add extra pages to her enemies list.

    Note to Sarah, since you are a big fan of IM: It's not their fault. It is yours. You were unprepared, and while you could bluff and intimidate some people in Alaska, we don't fall for that stuff so easily in the lower 48.

    I don't know how this particular case will stand up in court, but one thing I do know is that SP is a CRIMINAL.

    I hope that if not this court, then another, will put her behind bars where she belongs.

    Criminals think nothing of lying and cheating to get their way. Force, intimidation, and threats are just their way of "doing business". Laws are for others to follow; criminals think it proves how "smart" they are if they con other people, or rig the system to their benefit.

    This is how SP has operated for a long time.

    Lady Karma plays the long game; even now, before she stands before a mortal judge, I think her ill-gotten riches are slipping through her fingers.

  14. A google search of "Piper Palin lemonade stand" brings up a lot of right-wing screeds against Mr. Thoma.

    Here's Sarah Palin's nasty little comments about his complaint (this is a Governor, for pete's sake).

    http://www.thepinkflamingoblog.com/2009/05/12/is-piper-palin-a-menace-to-society/

    The governor said she offered to meet with Thoma “to ask if I could lessen his burden by keeping a lower profile,”...

    “I wanted to offer him to hide Piper’s trampoline further in a corner of the yard … if it’s a matter of not giving anyone anything to look at so they’ll go away then I’d ask Piper to not giggle so loudly on her buoy swing or bicycle in the yard,”...

    “We’ve been slammed if we’re not here enough, but now the table’s turned and the message is we’re creating chaos because we’re here too often,”...

    I fear for Mr. Toma. Palin has millions to battle him in court. He will be bankrupted simply by the process. Her attorneys will put him through the wringer, demanding psychological evaluations, digging into everything in his background, his personal life, anything to rake him over the coals, intimidate him and run up his legal costs. This is the sad part of litigation. The best the innocent party can hope is to recover some of his legal fees from the other side, IF he wins. As much as I want to se her squirm, I'm afraid Toma bit off way more than he can chew.

    Theodore P. (Chip) Thoma sued Governor Walter J. Hickel, alleging that Hickel in concert with others had engaged in a smear campaign against Thoma, that the campaign improperly used criminal justice system records, and that the campaign was conducted in retaliation for Thoma's protected political activity seeking the removal of Governor Hickel.

    It appears that the Alaska Supreme Court agreed with Thoma that state regulations regarding access and release had been violated.

    I have to shake the cob webs out of my head this morning, but I do remember something about traffic jams at the governor's mansion.

    There was the daughter of the governor who discovered sex for the first time and she had boys lining up the block and blocking the intersection waiting for their turn then suddenly the girl was sent away for some health reasons. Then along with that there were claims that a pimp lived there as well and was using several rooms for his stable of girls and their johns that caused traffic as well.

    Is that finally going to trial or will they settle out of court without admitting guilt?

    I don't doubt for a minute that this type of "persecution" card is the code that means it is okay for her goons to lean on Thoma, but it may just be his word against hers.

    Are you freaking telling me the money I paid taxes with went to house the grifter and her family and they used it to sell lemonade? She took the water we paid for the governor's mansion and without our permission used it to make money for her family? Somebody needs to reimburse the state.

    This leads to another question, I know they did not leave a little girl all by herself to sell lemonade to strangers. Did the state supply Alaskan State Troopers to watch the governor’s daughter while she was grifting tourists for their money or did we have state mansion employees watch the little girl?

    Either way who watched Piper and why wasn’t the girl in school?

She planted the lemonade story and I believe it mentioned that she had the story sent to C4P and other Palin-friendly media outlets. It was completely fabricated. I found the whole thing disgusting. Mr Thoma was complaining about tour buses and she twists it into an attack on her kids and the noise they make while playing in the backyard.

    It is an excellent example of how she uses her children as a shield and for political purposes. It's also a good example of how far she'll go to get back at people who cross her. It's the people of their state aren't safe form the vindictiveness of their governor.

    The discovery might be interesting if it goes forward. There are a number of supposedly 'independent' organizations that ought not appear in any official communications concerning the plaintiff.

    Thoma might find the sudden reaction to the lemonade stand was a coincidence. Did he keep records of the emails and telephone calls he got after he was identified and criticised? He may find none of them came from I.P. adresses or Facebook accounts recently identified as linked to

    The "executive function" section of the brain is not wired properly in some mental disorders. It does not matter how much you mentor, teach, encourage and expose those folks to reasoning, facts etc. it does not take, because there is no wiring in the brain to accept it.

    Anyone who thinks $P is not a victim of impaired "executive function" should pick up Temple Grandin's book, "Thinking in Pictures."

    Current statistics state almost 1 out of every 100 children born have some autism, but it is important to note that Temple Grandin states repeatedly that autism and Asperger's are simply related, just placed in different locations on the continuum.

    I'm familiar with the street in Juneau that has too much bus traffic. If I remember correctly, I think Chip Thoma had the reasonable idea of having the buses turn around in a more appropriate area downtown. I think turning around downtown may have eliminated the drive past the Governor's House as a result.

    Some in the neighborhood put up signs that said something like "No Buses" and others put up signs that read something like "Tours Welcome."

    An anonymous "neighbor" sent letters to the residents on the street who wanted bus traffic reduced. I believe it implied that not wanting stinking, loud tour buses cruising through a residential neighborhood where children are playing in their front yards during summer break meant you were a traitor to Juneau's economic dependence on tourism and unwelcoming to our summer guests. Or something like that.

    What I really wonder about now, in light of recent revelations, is just WHO was that anonymous letter- writing neighbor?

    I was in Juneau at the time and lived a block n half away from the mansion.

    It was crazy. The streets arn't wide enough for those huge buses. The lemonade stand was a hazard. Period.

    I do recall that someone, thank GOD, moved that lemonade stand back from the street. Hopefully out of safety for the child.

    There are plenty of solutions to the hazards of having huge buses drive down a neiborhood street.
    One of the options bantered about was having the tourists walk a block and half... it was actually a good idea. But Sowah got all huffy and the flying monkeys were let loose.

    Thoma is totally online with his case.

    The whole giggling on the bouy swing was a joke. Ah, that bouy wasn't near a house. The govenors mansion is surrounded by streets. Even a dead end street (which by the way is a problem for huge buses).

    Go to google maps and check out the place. Noise from Piper giggling? What a joke.

Even Meg (who was with sarahPAC at the time) got involved.

    $P though the post on C4P was "Hilarious" despite the fact that it resulted in "stories spread widely across conservative blogs where writers referred to Thoma as sick, unhinged, a drunk, drug-addicted, and in need of therapy".

    $P came up with the idea to smear Thoma against some of her staff's wishes and sent out "Talking points". She could be in trouble here. I love that her vindictiveness is coming back to bite her and her minions in the ass.

  102. I recently read Paradigm Shift by Floyd M. Orr, and based on the depth and breadth of the decades-old Southern Strategy in which Palin is just a tiny pawn, I don't think something this trifling can touch her. I do worry about Mr. Thoma, though.

    Every time I hear of this lazy, spiteful woman denigrating our dedicated President and pretending she knows anything about any topic under the sun, my blood pressure rises. Her use of her children as shields is literally nauseating. It never seems to end.

    Several times a day I visit this blog because Gryphen is one of the most dogged and fearless of the bloggers continuing to expose SP's corruption. The country is struggling with enormous problems, and the Xtian right, which is much better organized than the righteous left, has foisted a greedy peabrain onto the political stage. The low-information masses, as well as some who know better, like GVS, treat SP like she's the Second Coming.

    She is going down, but slowly, and she still has leverage to keep filling her coffers. I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to send her a cent, but they are enabling her to add poison to the national discourse and make our country a laughingstock abroad. I remember a man interviewed in India who said about Palin, "She's very dumb!" Everyone gets it, except for a small group of lowbrows who moronically support the white collar criminals in high places.

    So again I thank Gryphen, Malia, Syrin, and the other bloggers, as well as Geoffrey Dunn, Andrew Sullivan, Joe McGinniss, and others who refuse to be intimidated and continue to reveal the filthy core of Sarah Palin. Somewhere there's a light at the end of this tunnel.

    When I resided there we didn't have the problem of tourists coming through the area.

    In reflection, I cannot imagine those big tourist buses navigating those tiny streets (only room for one car/not two way)around the Governor's Mansion. They would be a horrid inconvenience and create havoc in the area, there is no doubt.

    Palin bringing her daughter into the matter AGAIN is what she always has done...i.e. Letterman, high school students wanting to rape Bristol and Willow (police were never called) and on and on and on.

    The repeat $P's meme about moving the capital:

    "Governor Palin was forced to pay taxes because she did not reside in the Juneau mansion when it was under renovation. The governor took a lot of heat because she did not live in Juneau during this time. Now she is taking heat because she spends too much time in Juneau. It seems that some people in Juneau would be much happier if the state capital was moved to a different part of the state. I'm sure that Governor Palin would be more than happy to work out of Wasilla full time. She could even put out a nice welcome mat that says "Welcome to the Governor's Mansion" outside her Wasilla home, and invite all of those tourists over for the grand opening of the new mansion."

    It also states: "A Juneau reader, and fan of Governor Palin (a rare breed in Juneau, I'm sure), tells me that Piper Palin has been running a lemonade stand in Juneau. And that a man named Chip Thoma is behind a movement to close it down."

    That Juneau reader/fan of Palin was either the 1/2 Gov ( we know she's a fan of herself) or one of her paid staff. Your state government dollars at work AK.

    Thoma should file an ethics complaint with the state too.
