MESSAGE:
Mrs. Sarah Palin rnrnSarah I wish I knew of a better way of getting in contact with you and I know your busy having a whole state to run but, I was writing because I had a question to ask. I guess I'll start off by letting you know where im at with things, being in the Army as an lower enslisted man its hard to get things done, I've been looking in to a regulation we have called a 'compassionate reassignment (AR 614-100).' It stipulates under certian circumstances a soldier can request to move duty stations to help care for family in need . I know you have known my family for some time and I think of you all as friends and you know my mother is now taking care of all the girls by herself while trying to keep a job. I'm not asking for pity for my family or myself, I'm just asking if there is anything you could do to help me with my process of getting home to Alaska to help. My direct chain of comand (team, squad leader) have been trying there best to help with out causeing! problems for them selves but, the fact is that my Unit is not really supporting me and trying to coax me to stay. I appreciate your time in reading this and any help you can offer.rnrn sincerely,rnPFC Morlock, Jeremyrn2/1 INF 5 SBCT

This was the response Track's good friend, and son of Todd's schoolmate received from the Governor's office.
From: Governor Sarah Palin (GOV sponsored) [governor@alaska.gov]
Sent : Friday, August 24, 2007 8:30 AM

Subject : RE: Military_and_Veterans_Affairs
Thank you for writing to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The concerns, opinions, and/or information you have sent are important and valuable to the Governor. Although she is unable to respond to each and every email herself, your message has been received and is being reviewed by the appropriate staff person in this office who can best address your need, suggestion, or comment.
We all know what happened to Jeremy Morlock after that brush off from Palin's office.
Just imagine how his life might have been changed if only the mother of his sister's best friends would have taken the time to listen to his plea. And you know she really could have helped him, after all she had little trouble keeping her son Track out of harm's way during HIS time in the military.
Update: Nobody is making excuses for what Jeremy Morlock did, he has to take responsibility for his own actions. But this young man entered the military to impress his father who then died in a boating accident in July of 2007. A month later, while still grieving that loss,and after hearing from his mother how difficult things were for the family, he reached out to his best friend's mother, who happened to be the Governor of his state, and asked for help getting back home to help them.
And for those efforts he did not even receive a personal response from the woman who he believed was a personal friend to his family
Somebody suggested that the Morlocks and Palins are still friends, but that is not true. Yes the girls are still friends with Bristol and Willow, but the mother has absolutely no use for Sarah and Todd.
After all it was THEIR house that Willow broke into back in December 2009, and after the Palins refused to pay for the damages, and then arranged for their daughter and her friends to get off while throwing the rest of the kids to the wolves, that pretty much severed any ties between the parents.
In fact Jeremy's mother, Audrey Morlock, has been doing every thing she can to hold her family together with absolutely NO help from her "friends" the Palins.
NOW do you understand how disgusting it was that Palin did nothing to respond to this young man's pleas for help?
wow. Will this email exchange hit the newsrooms? It SHOULD!!
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Not good. Not good at all. sarah was probably pissed at Jeremy because he forgot to address her as ¨Governor Palin.¨
ReplyDeleteThis says everything we need to know about how sarah really feels about the troops.
First, he should have sent letter to the home of his family friend. Second, he should have not happily killed a human being and enjoyed the experience so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I believe that it was Ripley in CT who first found this and posted the find at Palingates last night.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin could twist and turn the screws to position all her high school pals into jobs for which they were ill-qualified. Tracks girlfriend found many jobs in the administration. That she did nothing for this boy who spent time in her kitchen, who she likely drove to and from hockey practice --- isn't that what hockey moms do after all ---is just heart breaking.
Just so sad. Imagine being all those miles away and receiving a "form email" from someone you trusted.
ReplyDeleteThis email too is a must read.
ReplyDeleteThe story is truly sad but IMO reflects the 'true Palin' for the neglect (can't think of better word as this infurriates me). It's an email like this that should be front and center to show her uncaring and neglect of her duties. She cared for no one but herself. To ignore the numerous reports of abuse of children in foster care.
I think that's why Palin, Parnell et al OCS emails exist in 'vague' form -- they were in total damage control of the lawsuit. Two young boys suing for neglect, abuse and worse, the mention of a young child dying from the same. A Court Appointed Special Advocate, a volunteer position, was terminated after writing to Palin. Documents inaccurate/falsely documented, etc.
January 13/08: Email:
Complaints came in; abuse went on
Email references an ADN article by Lisa Demers - Jan 12, 2008 (no longer available on ADN site) - Complaints came in; abuse went on
STATE CUSTODY: Witness lists string of reports of harm.
"The young men are now suing for 10 million dollars, their lives are permanently damaged, and I hope that finances ease their burdens and futures into adulthood life. I was a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and I was terminated from my volunteer position, after I wrote a letter to inform the Governor, and explain to her, the abuse
I witnessed of a tiny-toddler in OCS foster care, and the lack of action"
GRYPHEN or someone: Anything happen as to this case? Was the State or Palin or someone found neglegent??? Did it quietly settle???
http://palinemail.msnbc.msn.com/palin2011/pdf/11129.pdf
It is # 11129.pdf
I cried reading this email. These boys will be haunted for the rest of their lives while she sat in office exchanging more emails about flippin' coffee than doing anything to address these kinds of massive problems. Fire a volunteer 'Court appointed' special advocate appears to have been her solution as she 'complained' direct to Palin.
Did he graduate from high school?
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteEven so, the choices he made were still his choices while in that situation. If only he could have been helped to a different situation.
Now, mom still has a houseful of kids to raise, and a son in prison.
(p.s.
Gryph, can we please retire that photo now?)
Wow Gryph, what amazing unbiased reporting. I suppose Sarah is responsible for everything Jeremy did. He is so innocent , that when he was plotting to kill a haji , he must have had the voices in his head from Sarah .
ReplyDeleteBottomline - Man up to your mistakes. And not everyone gets everything they want in life , so if he didnt get reassigned , is his only next step to kill.
As always , your fantastic reporting is.....
PS :- arent you tired of the truth being told to you by me that you never ever accept my comments.. you are fair and balanced .. just like a tv channel I equally have disdain for ...
This makes me so sick and I can only imagine how this young man must have felt to be so pushed aside. What a shameful thing that his pleas were ignored. I absolutely find this to be the most hateful thing I have ever seen come from Palin. And, indeed, her son received such special handling and she still lied about the extent of his service. What a hateful soul. I hope she one day comes to understand how her actions have affected the people around her.
ReplyDeleteYes, when Ripley posted it I mused on the timeline. I guess you have cleared that up, Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteA lot of what ifs and tragic outcomes here.
So awful when you realize it's just a form letter response, too.
It's possible she never even saw it, though I don't want to let her off the hook on anything at all.
The "response" provided was simply an automated one that everyone who sent in the email form on the AK gov website received.
ReplyDeleteJust because no followup email has been found from Palin to Morlock, doesn't mean it doesn't exist in redacted form, or that Palin didn't just pick up the phone and *call* somebody (to no avail) to try to get special treatment for Morlock.
As much as I loathe Sarah Palin, and say go after her for everything you can, I don't see how you can go after her for Jeremy Morlock's own criminal and vile actions - they are on him and him alone.
Thank you anon @ 11:03. I also came here and posted the link, I believe, once the server was running smoothly enough to let me in...unless it got lost in the fray of the intertubes.
ReplyDeleteWe're all in this together.
I also tweeted this e-mail, wondering what would have happened if Mrs. Palin had paid any attention to his plea. Surely, someone read it, as they seem to read all of the ones that congratulated her on the birth of her son. Also, his subject heading surely garnered some attention, doncha think?
I sent this to Bill Dedman of msnbc.com, as well. I hope it goes viral.
The problem with the alternative that you write about Palin helping get Morlock home would be seen as "special privileges". And she would have been blasted for that. We've had way too many "senators' sons" getting special exemptions.
ReplyDeleteThat said, she should have answered personally, or at least had someone answer his "begging". Are we sure Palin even saw this?
Sarah needed to keep Brita, Track's girl friend, now wife, close to prevent her from saying anything about Track. And, Track had plenty of baggage that needed to be kept in the store room, out of sight. Sarah couldn't afford even the most innocent slip of the tongue.
ReplyDeleteI think that is why she always kept Piper close to her because Piper could have blurted out something unplanned, too. We have seen that Piper can't contain her emotions when it came to her mother giving interview instead of paying attention to Piper on the "family vacation."
I don't think that Sarah had that much power with telling the military what to do, or with whom. Otherwise, we would have seen Track assigned to guarding an embassy somewhere in France or Italy instead of being stuck in Iraq for a year.
Morlock's letter is sad because he can barely string enough words together to write a letter. His wasn't a case of great need; other soldiers were faced with the prospect of their wives having to take care of kids and find a job. Everyone would deserve a compassionate post. Morlock took out his frustrations on the wrong people, and he will spend a long time paying for it. It's a sad story.
There's an element of hypocrisy in there, considering that Willow was involved in vandalizing an empty Morlock house.
Great find, though very sad. Did you discover this yourself, Gryph?
ReplyDeleteThis email means the media can't continue to downplay the relationship between Jeremy Morlock and the Palins.
ReplyDeleteI suppose there could be other emails on this subject that were on the executive privilege list or were completely excluded from the search because they only involved yahoo addresses. Mrs. Palin has some explainin' to do.
Great find, Gryphen, and thanks for giving this it's own post.
Unfortunately he may have been ignored because Sarah did not check her official governor@alaska.gov email address. That was left to her administrative assistant Janice, who forwarded e-mails that she thought were important. If she didn't recognize the name or thought the email sounded from someone unstable, etc., she may have not forwarded it.
ReplyDeleteSo, Jeremy says they are friends.
ReplyDeleteSoundds like the Palins pal around with terrorists to me.Too bad Palin ignored his letter, many innocents caught in this war would not have been murdered for sport.
I've looked at the email Nov. 9th, at 5:49 pm from Parnell to Sarah with the title OCS-infant. Parnell says he had had a call from Karleen Johnson about an extremely important issue and asks that Sarah call him asap in a quiet spot where she can think.
ReplyDeleteThe response via email was at 7:14 the next morning from Sarah saying she had some time that morning that she could call and asked what the issue was. Parnell replies that there was no need to call until Sarah had time and that Karleen had gotten more info after talking with him and others.
Does anyone believe that two blackberry Sarah would not have followed up on that email immediately. I think she did and it was personal to her family. I think someone realized that although Sarah’s emails might escape public scrutiny, Parnells would be public and so they engineered a “downgrade/cover up email” the next morning.
My notes show that that week was later identified by Sarah as when she found out that Trig had Down Syndrome although I realize she has given a couple of dates when she found that out.
To add to the intrigue, there is a draft of a letter Sarah was to send to the Supt of Anchorage schools at 7:47 pm on Nov. 10th that was completely redacted. Why would that be?
I have been reading the e-mails with Lyda as search word - Palin definately had a "hard-on" to her.
ReplyDeleteWow. What a callous and cold response to what appears to be a son's genuine concern for his mother.
ReplyDeleteI know Jeremy Morlock did horrible things later on but Palin turned her selfish back on a young man that she could have easily helped. With friends like Palin, the Morlocks' didn't need enemies.
And THESE are the emails that made it through the scrubbing process? How much worse are the emails that were too bad to be released?

Oh, God. I weep for what might have been.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you could respond to every little slight from an unknown blogger...but this went in the "we'll get to it when we get to it" pile- IF it was noticed at all.
I hope you get an ulcer the size of that Afghan CHILD's bullet wound, Sarah. Do you ever think of that child's mother?
i despise palin as much as the next sane and compassionate person, but i must agree with anon @ 11:31. there's just not enough to work with here. also, the fact remains that the morlock phenomenon is not an isolated one: this is the culture of war. period. morlock was one of the worse ones, and he got caught, but make no mistake: they ALL need compassionate reassignment.
ReplyDeleteThis falls into a 'what if' category. No one could know the future involving Morlock. The what if he had been able to return home is sad to contemplate.
ReplyDeleteI think it is unjust to imply Palin intentionally dismissed his email.
Palin is so damned cold an ice cube wouldn't melt on her ass.
ReplyDeleteThe point is that throughout history, people have contacted their Senators, Representatives and/or Governors to help cut through red tape when there is a genuine need for a hardship release or reassignment. Everyone knows of cases like that. Palin could have tried to help - she did nothing.
ReplyDeleteMorlock later went on to do horrendous things but Palin wasn't able to predict what he would do in the future.
Palin's response or lack of response was cold-hearted to say the least. She was a cruel, selfish and unconcerned governor. She was and is a failure at everything that she does.
Sharon1943
Of course SP isn't being condemned or held responsible for what Morlock did! However, just an "automated response" ? -- SP may have been made aware and answered from one of her private email accounts that are being held back?-
ReplyDeleteI disagree that this would be considered "special privileges" in SP's case. LOL!! THAT is all she DID for all of her high school buddies, members from her church, her husband, parents, kids!!! They ALL had SUPER SPECIAL privileges! Why not Jeremy Morlock?
- postscript to a comment i just made.- how many members of the AIP are "in" the current administration because of SP and Todd? -- (special privileges?) --
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't believe Palin is responsible for Morlocks choices, it's interesting to see a letter from this young man pleading to come home before the shit hit the fan. It's never been reported that this kid was a family friend of the Palin's. Looks like a good time to point out that connection :)
ReplyDeleteAccente, it's the fact that he received a form email from her and no real help. How callous. It's also her hypocrisy always mentioning the troops. When a family friend who recently lost a parent and fellow Alaskan asks her for help she gives him a form letter. I tempted to say something really nasty about her character and possibly yours for trying to defend the likes of Sarah Palin but I'm past that. Sadly there is just no help for you folks.
ReplyDelete@11:03 AM:
ReplyDeleteyes, she got everyone jobs, she also somehow managed to get track 'out early'; his service departure has always been a 'wonder'.
@11:18 AM: dipshit.
"Officials reported that the murders took place between January and May 2010."
--In the Valley of Elah is a 2007 film--The film’s title refers to the Biblical valley where the battle between David and Goliath is said to have taken place."
the kid calls home begging for his dad to get him out of there.
as his group descends into killing and cant tell the fukin diff.
@11:18
"man up..not everyone gets everything they want in life"---
is that what you said?..wow.
@11:33 AM-Ripley:
"Surely, someone read it, as they seem to read all of the ones that congratulated her on the birth of her son."
I AGREE. and they surely did not record all the congrats emails, and why then only 'some' of them.
so the Bitch has blood on her hands again?!
ReplyDeletePhoebes why was her som in the army for only one year? how many people are only in the army for one year?
ReplyDeleteJust imagine all that pent up anger and fear this young man went through while in country and now he is serving a sentence both in a cell and in his mind that could have been prevented by what was supposed to be a well connected family friend, I would not want to be anywhere near Sarah Palin when this young man gets out of prison, He is going to have revenge on his mind and I wonder how he will vent that revenge ? Talk about in the crosshairs !! Damn !!
ReplyDeleteYou actually don't know what she did.
ReplyDeleteNo offense, but you don't know what she did in response. We do know however that the families are still close. so don't go wrongly blaming again.
ReplyDeleteWho cares who first "read" the Morlock email?
ReplyDeleteMr. Munger is being petty again. When will he learn to mind his own business?
there is also a 'hardship' discharge: sole surviving son.
ReplyDeleteone seen as the male responsible for the family if there is no other 'breadwinner' to do this.
..which of course triG would not be
leaving track for the spot.
if morlock was 'sole surviving' breadwinner in the family it makes sense he would try for this. which by dates he did in 2007 vs when the killings went down between jan-may 2010.
tho im now sure that SP used morlocks empathy cry to get her own son out.
an option im sure she knew she had went her son joined in sept 2007....one month after morlocks letter.
one she exercised 18mos later after the 'Mil' had served its purpose for her.
I guess that's what Palin means by supporting the troops.
ReplyDeleteIf they write for help, ignore 'em.
He didn't mention in the letter that he was going through any emotional or psychological upheaval....just that he was worried about his mom. I think most soldiers are worried about their parents and families that are left behind...just as the family worries about the soldier. So even if the detestable SP got involved, I doubt she would have any influence over the military. I hope that she did send a personal letter to the kid...but who knows.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe that a high school graduate would write so badly. He has no understanding of sentence structure, grammar, mechanics....nothing. The high school that gave him a diploma should be sued for malpractice.
btw...new trail for morlock and gang.

Charges against two U.S. soldiers to be re-examined
morlocks testimony was not entered for these two trials.
I can't believe she send a fake/form letter. Once again, if this is how she treats a family friend than it's no wonder she is outright mean to her "enemies". All these emails reveal is that she is extremely unsuited for her job and should have gone into acting since attention is all she really wants.
ReplyDeleteOn Jeremy-- maybe he did choose to do the things he did, but he was also shining some light on a real problem that SP could have called attention to behind the scenes. . . and we'd see it and progs and conserves would all say this was a good thing. He asked for help. She was his lifeline, and the lifeline for a few others. She failed. She will be judged for that, if not by us, by Jesus Himself.
ReplyDeleteIf she had intervened she could have at least stopped this loose cannon that was never fit for military service in the first place.
ReplyDeleteFirst,the Gabrielle Giffords story/photo. Now this. I just can't take anymore of this bitch today.
ReplyDeleteNote that the "rn"s appearing in the quoted message would have begun life as "\r\n" (backslash-r, backslash-n) as in carriage return, linefeed.
ReplyDeleteThe message would be a little more readable if you changed each "rn" back to a newline.
this letter does not excuse what this young man did. I'll save my compassion for the Innocent people he murdered..especially the children just out ridding their bike.
ReplyDeleteFirst the Gabrielle Giffords story/photo, and now this. I just can't take anymore of the evil one today.
ReplyDeletePalin (Nov '07) cheerleading Kristen Cole and Om Irwin -- on their appearance on Fagan show about MatMaid and what a great job they are doing (barf bucket please):
ReplyDelete"I love you guys!!!!
You're doing an amazing job. Todd, Kris and Frank were keeping me up to speed as to how the show progressed . Thanks for kicking butt and being bold and just laying it on the line for the public to understand we didn't cause MatMaid problems, we're here to solve them so it can land in the private sector ' s hands.

Sarah Palin says she raised a combat vet. If Track is a combat vet just driving officers around in Iraq, what does that make Jeremy Morlock in that picture?
ReplyDeleteRAMBO?
Too bad the Morlock's could not pay off Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI'm not about to defend the dude. Someone in his unit should have seen the signs and intervened. Shades of "A Few Good Men". I saw a lot of this when I was in the USMC. People on the edge, close to snapping. A lot of people looked the other way but there were people and all it took was one word from them and these people were taken out of the Combat situation. The worst thing you can have in Combat is a loose cannon. What is sad is her lack of response. I can't hang her for his actions but I have to wonder how she wouldn't take the time to even respond personally. Cold as hell
ReplyDeleteAS the Quitter would say - UNFLIPPINBELEIVEABLE! (sic)
ReplyDeleteWGE can communicate with every other person on the planet, and use State employees to further her agenda of retribution, but she could not help out Morlock.
Let's hear some more of your blather about "supporting our Troops".
You are an embarrassment to women, Alaskans, men, and every thinking, compassionate person who ever lived.
Have you no shame or decency, Mrs. Palin?
While we salivate over this being Sarah's fault, it just isnt so. There were other boy part of the killings, killings I believe that were orchestrated by their superiors. Military ops are hush hush and they let nothing get out. Theyll also wrongly blame bottom rung people to save face.Look at how they coverup rapes? I am a military rape baby. if I were to write a memoir about this, I would disappear,guarantee it.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad. Jeremy definitely was not alone in being away from family members. I'd imagine most enlistees have sad stories. He also came home before his last tour. Was there soul searching? At least he still has his AK friends, including the Palins.
If Sarah had say in the military, Track wouldnt have been in Iraq ever. Didnt he have an injury? That would account for non combat status wouldnt it?
ReplyDeleteYeah...I think this might go against the grain here, but my reaction is different from most. A friend would have at least looked into his eligibility for "CR," or perhaps put him in contact with someone who could help. So, as we know, Scarah is no great family friend.
ReplyDeleteIF, that is, she even saw this email (they slip thru so quickly on that left-hand blackberry, dontcha know).
I am surprised that she didnt just arrange him a few awards and honorable reassignment home, given her typical grifter ways.
Nab , thankfully I am not even American to have to deal with a Sarah or an Obama. The fact is,what is true is all I care for which Jon Stewart really stands out. Am just pointing out you guys are so sure of being right and have the righteousness feeling to say anything about her is wrong. Just like fox news is sure that they are gods chosen one. Both of you are wrong. That's all. You can see hypocrisy everywhere you want to find it. Sarah maybe the worst person in the world but all of you reading this and commenting blame Sarah fir another persons actions. If everyone wrote to her for a favor and she obliged , you would cut her down for that too. Actually wish she obliged everyone to come back from war Coz am a pacifist. That's why gryph is great at reporting but not the truth as his blog headline says but Coz he has his own agenda and point of view.
ReplyDeleteJeanette123 I think you are absolutely correct that there was a manipulation of email accounts, to give certain impressions or obviously to cover things up when necessary.
ReplyDeleteIs it standard practice for there to be so many accounts for gov't figures? I can see an official account and then a private one, and it sounds like ethically the two are supposed to be kept separate, but clearly folks are finding examples where there were referrals to Sarah's private account, even if it was State business.
In addition, if I am understanding things correctly, there were several other accounts for her as well?
The redactions, the held back emails, and the multiple accounts should be the story here. It's what's not there that is important, it's what's not.
I think any journalist worth their salt is going to look at this issue, this week. I am expecting this topic to be a large part of the discussion coming up.
I agree with leah that we do not know if Palin even read this. Morlock's assumption, that if he wrote to the Governor she would read it, was not correct, even for a small state like Alaska. Palin would know his name, but if the staffer who read the email did not, it may never have been brought to her attention. On the other hand, maybe she DID see it and did nothing anyway - we just don't know, one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteI support our troops overseas. More specifically, I support our troops overseas BEING BROUGHT HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Might be interesting to note that nowhere in the released e-mails (at least the few thousand I read so far) does SarahP exhibit any compassion or sympathy for others.
ReplyDeleteShe's full of vitriol and unflippenbelievables for many issues. She's paranoid and demanding. She's consumed with nonsensical and trivial issues. She's snarky and vicious in her name-calling (vajayjay anyone????).
But where is it shown that she has a heart? Any feelings of care beyond those she extends to the writers of her Op-eds, or the watchers of her children?
Gryphen:
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please NEVER RETIRE that picture of Morlock.
We all need a reminder of what war is really like.
All most of this country would/can do is buy a Support Our Troops magnet to put on their gas-guzzling SUV.
Even though Morlock is responsible for what he did.Some effort on Sarah's part to help her families friend could have resulted in a much better outcome for the young man he murdered and his grieving family
ReplyDelete12:01--"This falls into a 'what if' category. No one could know the future involving Morlock. The what if he had been able to return home is sad to contemplate.
ReplyDeleteI think it is unjust to imply Palin intentionally dismissed his email."
------
OK, agreed. But at minimum it should remind Palin how easy it is to find yourself "pallin'" around with the wrong people. If I ever hear that out of her way overutilized mouth again I will scream...and then remember that it's Palin we're talking about here, and with her, there is no learning or evolving or aha moment, just a constant frenzy of impulses--revenge, anger, jealousy, resentfulness, deceit, and crude provocation over and over again.
This kid was calling out for help, pleading to someone he knew has connections, and considered a "friend". This is war, and it's ugly what he did, but maybe a different response than a form letter may have helped give this guy some hope to get the help he so desperately needs.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone believes, for one second, Track Palin didn't receive "special treatment" during his "volunteer enlistment", you're kidding yourself. He was in a corner of an office somewhere sealing envelopes, making coffee, using a staple remover, and whining about paper cuts.
This email casts Sarah, the supporter of the troops, in a very poor light. She could focus like a laser on Lyda Green's every breath without missing a beat, but she couldn't take the time for this kid?
Thanks Gryphen, and Ripley, we're in this together, getting this out is the main objective.
I'm actually not that disturbed by "Sarah's" response. It appears that Jeremy sent it through channels. If so, Sarah didn't read it and send it to some committee. RAther, a committee, or social secretary, or someone reviewed all her emails and triaged them. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on this that whoever didn't forward it to her didn't know of her connection with Jeremy, or else that SP got so many such requests that it was difficult to say "yes" to any of them.
ReplyDeleteIf Jeremy wanted to contact her as a family friend, he should have written to her at her home (surely he knows the address.)
It is tragic to realize in retrospect that if SP had been able to respond, a tragedy might have been avoided. I don't think that could have been predicted however, because as I read it, Jeremy didn't say he was going crazy and needed relief.
I might be convinced otherwise. I don't know the people or system for handling mail that well. I do prefer to expose Sarah's very real and numerous faults, and not lose credibility but trying to include everything possible.
Lucy.
There is someone on another blog claiming emails they sent to the Governor's office were scrubbed - not only completely removed from the email dump group, but from their personal email account!
ReplyDeleteIs that even possible? If it is, wouldn't it take the flippin' CIA to do it? Or the FBI?
Maybe I misunderstood, but if it's true THAT can be one of the takeaways.
I'm telling you, scary people helping that woman. That is why her confidence never seems to wane, no matter what she does or how much she screws up.
Sarah probably did not want to use up all her military favors. It was most important to get Track home out of harm's way.
ReplyDeleteRetire that Photo? It's war, it not pretty. Shrub tried his best to spoon feed us bullcrap, to overlook the fatigue our soldiers undergo after multiple calls to serve, the mental torture they endure, the high rates of domestic violence, mental problems, and suicide, etc. He wouldn't release a body count of those we lost, and we have no clue how many innocent lives were snuffed, maimed, and tortured becase photos like this were "retired".
ReplyDeleteWe have to stop sanitizing war in this country. We're not even allowed to view the flag draped coffins and publicly mourn our heroes, except for a few holidays where people have a day off, put a flag on their lawn, and pig out on beer, hot dogs, and hamburgers and go on with their lives, while countless families feel unsupported and marginalized in their grief.

ReplyDeleteWhat the hell difference does it make whether or not Gryphen discovered it himself?
Sometimes you seem to be as much of a shit-stirrer as SP herself is.
1, We dont know she ignored it
ReplyDelete2. It was not smart to a. go through the govt email system and b. use the family friend connection
How many enlistees have close ties to sitting Govs?\
That would look BAAAAAAAD for all involved.
what happened to Jeremy Morlock
ReplyDelete(excerpt):
.. Even the top officer on the scene, Capt. Patrick Mitchell, thought there was something strange about Morlock's story. ..

(But "never strange" in any of SP's stories. Must have been "something" in that "Wasilla water" he had consumed in his youth..? :)
That's a very disturbing photograph . . . of a man-child torturing a child.
ReplyDeleteHow very tragic.

Jesus Christ...they are family friends & it appears he got a form letter back in his despair. She truly is a monster.
ReplyDeletehey sarah sure does support the troops, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteShe may well have not seen this email. But, if she did see it and tried to help him don't y'all think she would have told the world.
ReplyDeleteScorpie
And don't forget Sarah was the CIC in Alaska, at least of the Guard,and she defended us for the USSR, so you know she could command that he be reassigned.
ReplyDeleteDid she even bother to ask her prayer warriors to pray for this family?
Kudos to Ripley & yes we are all in this together, but it's nice to give credit. This is shocking & could have been Track except of course he got some cushy job & left early. He's right to keep a low profile.
ReplyDeleteWasn't he still at Ft. Lewis, WA?
ReplyDeleteIf he were already in Afghanistan, they wouldn't have routed his mail through Ft. Lewis, would they?
Wow, she's lower than low. Imagine? Maybe he might not have gone so nutbags. Support the troops sarah? She's a fucking slimebag.
ReplyDeleteBefore you pile on Jeremy (go ahead and pile on Sarah) read "None of this were like this before" We have done horrible things to young men and women in the armed services. I wish I had answers, I only have more questions. I am not excusing people but I am understanding them a little bit more. Rant over. Nebraska Native.
ReplyDeleteI have been clicking the random e-mail generator at Guardian all day, and have been struck by the fact that Palin never answered e-mails. Her constituents all get the form response, and many have sent in multiple e-mails in frustration. Even her close staff complain to her about not responding, and often end e-mails with the plea: please let me know you received this.
ReplyDeleteAs the wife of a retired career infantryman, I see nothing unusual in this. Compassionate reassignment is rare in the military, and I'm sure there were many men and women who needed/deserved it more than Morlock. Palin couldn't be expected to know what Morlock would become involved in.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's request for compassionate reassignment was denied when he was sent to Camp Edwards near the DMZ in Korea in the mid-70s on an unaccompanied hardship tour. I was five months pregnant with our fourth child, and had partial placenta previa. We briefly considered going along and living "on the economy." But the nearest village was Yong Tae Ri, with no potable water, and homes heated with charcoal under the floors so many people died of carbon monoxide poisoning, not to mention the lack of medical care. We even discussed his leaving the army, but he loved it and I decided the girls, my unborn baby, and I could tough it out at home.
At seven months, I almost lost the baby and the Red Cross brought him home stat on emergency leave until our son was born.
Rank doesn't matter much, with the possible exception of top brass. My husband was a Captain at the time.
As much contempt as I have for SP, I don't see this email exchange as significant.
Tin cans are hitting the Frigidaire because the state let that one slip through.
ReplyDeleteHe's in jail now, right? Maybe he's ready to spill the beans on the Palins, then. He has nothing to lose. Sure his account may be discredited, but I'm sure his info would give leads and clues....have you tried to get an interview with him?
ReplyDeleteHmmm....Seems like RAM's alter ego is posting here. Hey RAM! Lonely now that your idol has dumped you? Trying to get back in her good graces? You should remember well that SPaylin has a looooonnng memory and she will NEVER let you in her little bitty evil world again. Tough shit, girl.
ReplyDeletePATRIOTIC DUTY:
ReplyDelete1) Has Todd Palin EVER served in ANY way, shape or form for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S MILITARY?
2) Has Chuck Heath, Sr. EVER served in ANY way, shape or form for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S MILITARY?
3) Has Chuck Heath, Jr. (SP's brother) EVER served in ANY way, shape or form for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S MILITARY?
Track being FORCED to CHOOSE the military OVER JAIL/PRISON is just pathetic, and is appropos of nothing.

ReplyDeleteThe problem with the alternative that you write about Palin helping get Morlock home would be seen as "special privileges". And she would have been blasted for that. We've had way too many "senators' sons" getting special exemptions.
11:41 AM
Even during WWII only sons were allowed to stay home to be head of house hold or for other reasons, like farm work. In families with more than one military age son usually one would be denied enlistment into the military so that every American family had at least one young fit male to support and reproduce that family.
What he was asking for was compassionate reassignment so he could help with the care of his mother and minors in the family.
It is not an unusual request.
I don't think Gryphen is excusing what Morlock did, else why the gruesome and familiar photo?
He does pose a what if question. What if Mz Super Christian actually practiced what she preaches. Or at least had one or more of her staff actually deal, hands on, with these kinds of requests.
Maybe one young man would still be alive and the other stationed in Alaska free to help his mom and his family and complete his military obligation.

Sarah Palin fans HACK Crivella West to tweet Palin propoganda
anon at 2:40
ReplyDeleteWhile only sons have always been allowed a deferment , they were NOT denied they right to serve. My father was an only son and also a farmer during WWII (both cases during the "big" war to stay out), he could have stayed home but he did not.
As for Morlock, he entered the service willingly, as did my son who (including a 4 yr "backdoor draft") served honorably and served 8 tours placing him in harms way.
While Sarah could have pushed to get him out, it's probably the only decision I agree with her on.
You sign up, you serve, there are ways to get out for psych issues--Morlock could have gone that route.
I've always hated the bland form letters I get from my representatives when I send them a letter about issues and concerns. I've learned to expect them and shrug them off as par for the course, but to do this to a family friend, one in active service, is unconscionable.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing about this is Jeremy Morlock was reaching out in whatever way he could because things weren't right in his world. Maybe it was more than wanting to help his family, in some way he couldn't articulate he may have needed help for himself. As other posters have commented, this is the military and it's rather unforgiving in this way. Many families have hardship as evidenced by examples here.
ReplyDeleteIt is also sad there evidently wasn't any personal acknowledgement from SP. At least some encouragement if nothing else. Of course Jeremy made his own decision later on that was horrendous and it can't be blamed on an unanswered email.
I wish the military had more safeguards in place to help the soldiers that end up heading down the wrong path for whatever reason.

ReplyDelete12:49 PM----
if you notice also, search is quite limited since it appears most of these emails were gone over on dates at bottom of page.
not top or within the email.
IOW....at the very bottom of the shot you are reading is a date.
like...10/29/09.
despite the email having originally been sent say Feb 25, 08.
would indicate to me the day the email was scanned/resent is at the Bottom.
which only means going thru every one is a must.
you cant find particular ones by using a search of say...Feb 2008.
what you get is a 'copy' of the remaining after AK did a lookover...and resent it.
There is nothing in this exchange to indicate that SP knew that Morlock made his request.
ReplyDeleteMorlock is responsible for his own actions.
His letter does show that SP palled around with murderers.
Her Heinous has no compassion for othersand it still boggles my mind why she has her cult of kool-aid drinkers.
ReplyDeleteI remember when she announced Track into military service. I told my husband, "THERE's a serviceman son in name only so she can brag. Secret service protected because she's running."
For the photo of Murlock and how she threw HIM under the bus, I went to a military funeral for a son of a friend. ARMY all the way, leader of his troop, bullet to the neck, and held on to use his finger over his trachea to tell his family goodbye at the funeral in his own words.
TRACK? PALIN FAMILY? Screw you, you big bunch of losers!
Sorry, Gryph, I am so SICK of this. It goes on and on and on.
3:05PM: Jeremy Morlock was reaching OUT? Don't think so. A pic with a head saying "Look, Ma, I got him" is NOT reaching out.
ReplyDeleteWell the MSM should pick up this story but they are afraid of the truth. And the big truth is Sarah is a fraud. More interested in herself than having compassion for someone who she once referred to as family. It seems manipulating polls and finding coffee was the most important things to her.
ReplyDeletejust got through feb 08 emails. wow Lyda is a BITCH and a half! Theres a woman going to hell.
ReplyDelete"Maybe it was more than wanting to help his family, in some way he couldn't articulate he may have needed help for himself."
ReplyDeleteExactly.
I think Jeremy was given the blame by Sarah for Track's wayward path. She could not have Morlock corrupting her son or her image so he got one of those special go to jail or join the Army deals.
Jeremy joined the service finding right quick the good old days of running wild in Wasilla were over. Being told what to do, when to do it must have been quite a shock. Having your every liberty, freedom of choice, ability to come and go as you please must have have rattled him horribly.
I do not believe Jeremy joined without threat. He did not want to be there, he did not have the frame of mind or attitude or maturity to be where he was.
This kid's stupid drunken weekend pranks he pulled in Alaska never came close to the real life situations going on within his own unit. He was scared. He wanted to go home. He begged Sarah for help and she ignored him. His mind must have relinquished to the reality Sarah was going to let him burn in Hell.
He had seen with his own eyes how she treated her own daughter and heard from his sister while he was away how Sarah had become an epic monster. I say the kid to survive went along with his troop in an environment that caused him to do tings a boy from Wasilla might never have done had he not been forced by that famewhoring crazy bitch's personal agenda.
April should be sent the Email to her Facebook of her brother begging Sarah Palin with a note to expose her in everyway she can. Being close to Bristol she would know so much. Talking in revenge for her brother, I betcha she would.
Many years ago I was watching a program on the life of Queen Elizabeth and there was a segment showing her reading the mail sent to her from her subjects. (She apparently did this on a regular basis). She focused especially on letters coming from veterans dealing with various issues/problems. She would then instruct her assistants to investigate and take care of those issues in question. I must admit I was impressed.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, with friends like Phil Munger, who needs flippin enemies.
ReplyDeleteIs Phil Munger just being an ass or was he born that way?
When I saw this email very late friday night I was saddened because I realized just how many lives were affected in a negative way by SP and her band of dysfunctional high school students who did not focus on running the government. Like I said back when she was governor, they just ignored anyone who had problems which the state needed to fix. They did this to anyone who SP felt did not have anything to offer her because everything is about her. Probably all she had to do was write a letter or make a phone call and the military would have checked into this situation. Of course she had the insight into the incidents that lead Morlock and her own son to join the military. Her psychology could lead her to blame Morlock for Track's problems.
ReplyDeletehedgewytch @ 3:03,
ReplyDeleteI frequently voice my opinion to my representatives and senators as well, and I usually receive a form letter response. However, the representative of my district, Allen West (Universe help us all, por favor), has stopped even sending out these formatted responses. I get nada. I guess he can't tolerate disagreement.
Looks like John Ziegler, Palin's biggest panty sniffer has turned on her like so many others. Imagine that.
ReplyDeletehttp://t.co/njME4JD/
LOVE it !!
If SP truly valued our service members, you would think that she would ask that all their correspondence be passed on to her so that she could read them and send a personal reply. Just another case of her saying what her fans want to hear, but not living it.
ReplyDelete"We all know what happened to Jeremy Morlock after that brush off from Palin's office. "
ReplyDeleteI'm no Palin fan but this should read "we all know what Jeremy Morlock DID after that brush off....."
Though it certainly goes against what Sarah has been saying about supporting the troops.
Mrs. Morlock should be telling the breakin story far and wide, she could raise some money there.
I forgot to mention that it is entirely possible Jeremy Morlock emailed SP about the activities in his unit not knowing what else to do as the command of the unit was clearly dysfunctional. If he email her about this they would have been in the removed pile. That is another important reason the news media should persue getting those removed and redacted emails. The rationals for most of them are very dicey.
ReplyDeleteMorlock's e-mail sounds whiny and self-pitying to me, in all honesty. I think if he'd said something like "I can't handle this and I'm about to crack," Palin would be far more culpable for not doing something. Also, I don't think we can say he wouldn't have killed anyone if Palin had pulled strings--he could have killed people in Alaska if he'd been sent back there. We can't know.
ReplyDeleteNot to exonerate Palin, at all--she should have responded to him--but this isn't a smoking gun to me.
AINT LIFE A BITCH JEREMY?
ReplyDeleteJeremy Morlock, an actual uniformed United States of America combat soldier from Alaska serving in Afghanistan wrote his state governor, Sarah Palin for assistance. This American soldier is not only from Alaska, he is from Sarah’s hometown of Wasilla and has spent time in her home playing with her kids.
Sarah Palin, who was Jeremy Morlock's team mom, did not even have the decency to personally write him back.
Sarah had a staff flunkie reply to his message.
Interesting, how Sarah toots her own horn proclaiming to worship our American uniformed soldiers and she did not feel it was necessary to personally respond to her children‘s friend‘s letter.
BUTTTT….
Gov Sarah had the time to make sure Britta Hanson, her son’s girlfriend, has a letter of recommendation for college from the governor. http://palinemail.msnbc.msn.com/palinAll/pdf/11683.pdf
Gov Sarah had the time to make sure Britta Hanson, her son’s girlfriend, was picked to be on a board.as a governor-appointed commissioner for Serve Alaska
Gov Sarah had the time to make sure Britta Hanson, her son’s girlfriend, was a page/intern for the State of Alaska in Juneau.
Gov Sarah had the time to personally insure Britta Hanson, her son’s girlfriend, has a job with the State of Alaska. The governor herself wrote emails to get Britta a job, but how sad she was unable to respond to Jeremy’s email.
http://palinemail.msnbc.msn.com/palinAll/pdf/13999.pdf
Sarah had time to call in favors to get Bristol across that graduation stage at the last minute.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get Track off of his school bus vandalism charges.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get Track out of combat duty in Iraq and got him a cush job driving officers around while Jeremy risked his life day after day in actual combat.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get Willow off of her breaking and entering / vandalism charges.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get the Anchorage Police Dept to write an official untrue statement to a news rag magazine stating Todd was not involved with pimping or prostitution.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get Piper out of school to go with mummy on a book signing tour.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get Piper promoted to the next grade after missing so much school during mummy’s book signing and campaigning tours.
Sarah had time to call in favors to get herself off of her ethic charges.
Jeremy, because of Gov Sarah Palin, you get to wear another uniform in your young life… you get an orange jump suit.
Finally, Gov Sarah Palin applauds our American soldiers, without them we would not have our freedom!
In Jeremy Morlock’s case, an American soldier lost his freedom because his governor was too busy being vindictive, hiring high school friends for jobs they are not qualified to do, too busy worrying about polls against her, worrying how to quit her job so she can make more money.
Jeremy, Lifes A Bitch When You Have To Rely On Your Governor And You Don’t Have $100,000 to Get Her Attention.
A damn good comparison of Sarah ignoring Jeremy INTENTIONALLY because he had nothing to offer Track is Sarah giving preference to Britta's Email.
ReplyDeleteBritta Emailed Sarah from Spain asking for a job. A teen personally Emailing the governor of the state of Alaska on a private government account for a job is ridiculous. The fact Britta was placed as the executive secretary is outrageous. But it goes to show when you are useful to Sarah's plot you get a reply and you get to come home.
When you are not useful you rot in a foreign country.

ReplyDeleteYou outright kill someone and hold their head up as a trophy is EVIL. I don't care who his parents are or his upbringing. Quit making excuses, he is an ADULT and made his choice. The grin on his face says it all.
That vandalism story isn't accurate Gryphen. The boys who threw the party had no idea 1. whose house it was 2. most didnt know willow was there 3. they didnt know it made the internet 4. no one got in trouble
ReplyDeleteAlso, why did April not only watch dwts in the palin home (premiere) and why did she agree to be interviewed for dwts? Why were Marissa and Willow homeschooling at the end of last year before Marissa and her family moved to Seattle?
A cry for help, mercy or sensitivity sent out to Sarah Palin. The guy had no chance but still tried...how tragic.
ReplyDeleteHope John and RAM are having tea.
ReplyDeleteThere is a call to take John out over at pond. Lol, not a year ago they were singing his praises to the heavens.
I don't understand why she'd allow her daughter to be homeschooled with Willow before the family moved out of AK. And no one who threw th eparty in 09 or were there were charged with anything.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Sarah and Todd pay? Willow didn't throw it. She had nothing to do with the creation of the party. This I know for a fact. 3 guys threw it.
"Update: Nobody is making excuses for what Jeremy Morlock did, he has to take responsibility for his own actions. But this young man entered the military to impress his father who then died in a boating accident in July of 2007. A month later, while still grieving that loss,and after hearing from his mother how difficult things were for the family, he reached out to his best friend's mother, who happened to be the Governor of his state, and asked for help getting back home to help them."
ReplyDeleteUntil now I'd dismissed JM as just a cold-blooded sociopath, but reading this & the letter he wrote to $P, wow, he was messed up & begging for help. What he did was wrong, but I think he is disturbed rather than just a cruel person. Way to go, Sarah! Making folks understand & feel sorry for this guy!
That's a tall order to ask an old friend who's now Governor to help your son or help yourself. That's something you all would criticize Sarah for.
ReplyDeleteAnd GRyphen, please get some facts about the vandalism incident before you write a blog post. Those details aren't accurate.
"Anonymous said...
ReplyDeleteJust because no followup email has been found from Palin to Morlock, doesn't mean it doesn't exist in redacted form, or that Palin didn't just pick up the phone and *call* somebody (to no avail) to try to get special treatment for Morlock.

Oh please, why would she take out her personal response? Why leave in his plea & the form letter which makes her look awful? She didn't help him, obviously..
Why are you airing this? This has nothing to do with Sarah the politician. And you don't even have the facts right.
ReplyDeleteWhat business is this of ours? Don't make things harder on any of the families involved. Both families are loved and prayed for right now. All are good people.

ReplyDeleteThe link you posted does not work. Could you repost a link please.
Thanks
I had a friend whose parents mine didn't mesh at all with, due to controversial reasons. Said friend wasn't allowed over at my home and I wasn't allowed at hers, which I now sort of understand and am not angry about.
ReplyDeleteI would think if what you're describing it factual, the same would be true. Yet the Morlock girls were frequently and recently (relatively) over at the Palin home. Marissa even was homeschooled with Willow.
Though I will say you have facts of the Dec 09 breakin way wrong. Willow had nothing to do with any of it. The kids who threw it even laughed that she was called the ringleader. Some dude named Chris was one of the instigators.
Gryphn - what's missing from this story for me, even after the UPdate, to jump on the "ain't it awful" wagon is whether Sarah did or didn't respond in some other way. The response he got seems like an automated response and says nothing about what happened afterward.

Here's some non palin perspective. I grew up with Jeb Bush's family. I dated his son. We are still close today - to all of them. My brother entered the military on a dare. During basic, he suffered several personal tragedies and tried to do what it sounds like Jeremy did. Except if he were to go to Gov Jeb and plead with HIM to get him out or another role, do you know what he result would have been? It's crazy to think of a leader like that making "nepotistic" decisions.
ReplyDeleteIf the world were perfect, Jeremy's commanders would have seen his emotional state, whatever it was. But this is the fucking military. THEY FUCKING LET THEIR WOMEN GET RAPED AND COVER THAT SHIT UP to protect their people. So fuck all of it.
I'm really pissed off that some of the MSM is thinking that Sarah was an attentive & hardworking governor. What in the hell is wrong with these people?
ReplyDeleteJust saw a story on the Daily Mail talking about her Letter from God that she sent to family members about Trig. Didn't they read that first awful book? Wasn't it in there? Why is this e-mail news & not some of the serious ones?
She is getting a sugar coated treatment in all of this e-mail business. This e-mail dump has undone all of the scrutiny she received after the bus tour.
What is to become of us?????
Has anyone created a word cloud yet for the $P emails?
ReplyDeleteSo...sarah is not responsible for morlock...but prez Obama is responsible for the action of bill Ayers?
ReplyDeleteI have tirelessly worked behind the scenes hundreds of hours ever since Palin came out yelling Obama pals around with terrorists and all her other outright lies. I'm really starting to feel discouraged in the effort to expose her for what she really is. Palin is right about the MSM being the LSM - they always play right into her hands - she IS smart as a lying fox there. SHE doesn't get the treatment a male politician might from the LSM who all apparently think with their dicks - THEY are cowards and Palin knows it - thus the LSM and I have to agree with her there now. After all, NUMBER ONE she's PRETTY, she's a MOTHER OF FIVE KIDS, she was brave and gave birth to a DISABLED CHILD. She's a VICTIM boo hoo - no one dares to stand up to her. She gets away with whatever she wants to - until the courts says she can't and so far she and her family have gotten around that too. I see no end to that.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of little stories, books written, op-eds and blogs everywhere - still Sarah doesn't have to answer to ANYONE. Yes the flying monkeys are bragging that their queen is untouchable and outsmarted everyone. Yeah Palin is excellently good about that - her forte' is revenge - she could write the bible on revenge even without the help of a ghostwriter - yes she's that good!
She has a lot of help - all her friends who still have jobs in AK govn't under her boy Parnell. They are all still indebted to her for their salaries. It just appears to me that Palin is teflon - nothing sticks. So far.
Please someone tell me WHY I should NOT give up now on exposing Palin after almost 3 yrs. Will anything ever really pan out? Can anti-Palins ever match the consistency & fervor of pro-Palins? I hope I am wrong because I'm just about nearly ready to completely ignore and not click on anything Palin!
I don't even trust the heavily redacted "emails". Don't trust dates, names, etc. since it was found that Palin admin. only outed personal email info to "enemies" all just so the Palinbots can harass them.
All feedback & encouragement I need to keep on keeping on....
I hope that WE can get full details of Tracks service( or lack of service) due to his mother's position. I doubt Track ever saw the outside of a tent.

ReplyDeleteI hear you; all of what you wrote.
If you are Palin, you have to be asking, "So what am I, chopped liver?"
ReplyDeleteImagine the disappointment, the hurt. You have been dismissed by perhaps the most recognizable woman of any import in recent history. Here you are, toast of the tea party movement and chum of Donald Trump, and you have been summarily dismissed. You so badly had wanted to cash in on photos of yourself with a smiling, beneficent Thatcher, Reagan's dearest pal on the tumultuous world stage, a woman who would stand her ground while lesser men quaked. Foreign policy creds? Pundits would have gushed: Hey, if Thatcher likes Palin, she must be the real deal.
Pictures like that would have been priceless, the kind that make folks sit up and take notice, that help you proclaim to the world, "Hey, this old geezer was somebody but now it's me, and the Constitution and freedom and our soldiers fighting for better mountains and highways and pastel water fountains."
Those hopes are in the dust bin of history unless somebody gets busy with PhotoShop. Now, if you're Palin, you're just somebody with a garishly painted bus, a knack for drawing cameras like flies and the political instincts of Attila the Hun.

ReplyDelete"Todd called me later to ask if I was okay, which I thought was nice of him. He’s clearly a tough guy, someone you’d definitely want with you if you got lost in the Alaskan wilderness...."
He forgot to mention, this applies only if you are on Todd's GOOD side, not on "Sarah's List Of People Who Need to Be Shut Up NOW."
There is an amazing article at The Daily Caller today by John Zeigler -
ReplyDeleteone of the most ardent and loyal Palin supporters.
http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/12/the-sarah-palin-i-know/comment-page-1/#comments
Zeigler is done with the Palins.
And when John Zeigler says bye bye-
there aren't many left
to turn out the lights.
This is a big , big deal-like Frank Bailey's epiphany.
He details in the lengthy piece
all the reasons why , but,
he still oddly continues to make excuses for Palin.
Zeigler has publicly and passionately defended Palin for the last three years.
He made a documentary , using his own money about how " mean "
the media was to her.
Part of his documentary will be seen in
Un Duh Feeted.
He traveled the country appearing on tv and radio at his own expense , defending her.
I have heard him screaming on the air against anyone who said
anything negative about Palin.
Bailey's book seems to have given him the spine to break away , something
he should have done years ago as he details how disloyal and unscrupulous Palin is and
how she often
treated him like dirt.
He thinks Palin will run ,
as Todd approached him in May about helping out with her campaign.
Which Zeigler believes will be a disaster and he's told her so often.
Zeigler is now getting roasted by the bots as a nobody , who cares ,
he's a jerk , etc.
He's probably getting the hate mail as we speak.
Zeigler should write a book...
It is true that I have not read every single response to this post, but from the ones I have read...Gryphen really pushed some buttons! The bots were out in force!
ReplyDeleteSo were the Morlocks the kids that Palin did not find worthy of protection from the abusive parent? Or was it just the male children the Palin found unworthy?
ReplyDeleteDoes Bristol Bay i.e Dillingham have a history of sexual predators that target male children?
Sarah has so much blood on her hands they are permanently stained. Gabby Giffords, the half dozen that were killed that day in Tucson including a nine year old girl, the others that were injured that same day in Tucson, the boy Jeremy Morlock killed, Curtis Menard, Dar Miller.
ReplyDeleteOT
ReplyDeleteI wish to God Hunter S. Thompson was alive. He would have a field day with the ignobitch! It would be like shooting fish in a barrel with a gattling!
And I thought I had heard it all about that jello spined wench!
ReplyDeleteIf one reads Zeigler's whole piece, he finally admits that he got thrown under the bus. Not once, but at least two times. He's too proud to admit that he hitched his wagon to a scar, not a star. But he is starting to wake up, especially after reading Frank Bailey's book. Been there; done that. One more to add to the trash heap of Sarah's cast-offs.
ReplyDeleteNow, if only Mansour would recover from Palin Mania and write the truth.
How funny it is-the more the Bots say Willow didn't have ANYTHING to do with the vandalism-the more I KNOW she was. Thou protest too much.
ReplyDeleteLots of opinions and deep feelings expressed about this issue. Like most of you, I have spent way too much time browsing and reading emails.
ReplyDeleteWhat I have not seen, not even 1 small example - of a response to a constituent's email from Palin or one of her staff. I have only seen the automated form response. Can anyone report anything else?
More importantly, I have read at least 2 email streams that were related to the deaths of AK soldiers. One message stated that there were 8 deaths from one AK unit. In these streams, LT Gov Parnell reported that he would be attending the memorial services to represent the state government.
Did Palin ever attend a memorial service? Did Palin ever write a condolence letter?

ReplyDeleteA damn good comparison of Sarah ignoring Jeremy INTENTIONALLY because he had nothing to offer Track is Sarah giving preference to Britta's Email.
Britta Emailed Sarah from Spain asking for a job. A teen personally Emailing the governor of the state of Alaska on a private government account for a job is ridiculous. The fact Britta was placed as the executive secretary is outrageous. But it goes to show when you are useful to Sarah's plot you get a reply and you get to come home.
When you are not useful you rot in a foreign country.
5:09 PM
I guess it helps to get a job with the state of Alaska during this economic setback by ending your "I need a job" letter to the governor of the state with:
"Love,
Britta"

Sarah Palin Fans Hack Crivella West to Tweet Palin Propaganda
ReplyDeleteWhat do they NOT hack?
They are UNITED. Are we?

ReplyDelete"This is why blogging should be outlawed. People run with shitty rumors and don't bother to know facts."

Guess that means Palin should be tried for treason for worse than rumors -- FULL OUT FRIGGIN HABITUAL LYING that's detrimental to the country.
Anonymous @7:01 pm said "The bots were out in force!"
ReplyDeleteSo who's force is bigger right now? Apparently Sarah's because her people got AMC theaters to feature her propaganda "movie" in 10 major cities. Tell AMC what you think! Sorry to know that for every one that tells AMC, there are 50 cloned Palinbots telling them how much they love it. I guess the box office will tell. STUPID AMC I will never buy another ticket for their movies after backing a hypocritical propagandist political piece of shite ever again.! Never knew AMC was backing racist teabaggers until now. EMAIL THEM.
Gotta love the bots, they are getting so much smarter lately. Or, is it just one faithful bot? clever, clever to you and game on...across the board, across the blogs. Nice try at 1:05!!
ReplyDelete7:48, we're united in our hatred of Sarah Palin and our desire for her to be exposed for the mentally ill liar she is.
ReplyDeleteIf you're suggested we should all be united on the issue of Jeffrey Morlock, or any other Palin-related but peripheral issue, I'm willing to be united with you if you think Morlock's a sociopathic killer whose actions should not be blamed on Sarah Palin.
Otherwise, that is one page we are not both going to be on.

It is tragic that Sarah Palin did not respond to this troubled young man, a friend of her family. Clearly this was an urgent plea for help and deserved a response. An intervention very well might have prevented the subsequent murders.
ReplyDeleteMany US soldiers are returning home with severe psychological problems--suicide rates among veterans and soldiers are extremely high. The wars the US is fighting now have no clearly defined enemy but the amorphous label "terrorist." Many civilians have died and are still being killed and many of our soldiers are being broken psychologically, in part because they are being turned into executioners not soldiers. And some are witnesses to the torture of prisoners currently approved by the US.
When soldiers break down and act in a war zone as Morlock and his companions did it indicates a severe problem in military discipline from the top down--a rotting that is structural, as in Viet Nam where there could be no "honor" since the whole country was a de facto a "kill zone." When the demarcation between murder and justifiable killing is so completely blurred the psychological damage to all is devastating and incalculable,
Sarah Palin is part of the problem in another larger way a she cheerleads and supports wholeheartedly the militarism and the lies that brought about the illegal and unethical war in Iraq, where millions of Iraqis have died in addition to many thousands of our youth-mostly the poor who have little chance of good employment or job prospects outside the military.
Her "friends" the Neocons are responsible for the extension of the American empire and its war and bullying under the guise of fighting "terrorism," while facts show that current US wars and aggressions are actually creating more terrorists as we continue to bomb civilians and destroy countries whose populations have never done any harm to ours.
With a flag pin in her suit lapel a la George Bush, Palin spouts a few lines of rhetoric about patriotism and our troops, while in fact our young are turned into cannon fodder in the most reckless and immoral ways. And when they return home they are untreated or under treated for severe psychological injuries and other traumas incurred in senseless wars that are really serving the Halliburtons and Cheneys et al.--the MI complex.
No words can describe the moral bankruptcy and blindness of people like Sarah Palin and the warmongers she really serves.
8:00 PM, I would hold my fire with AMC until after they have passed on Broomfield's documentary.
ReplyDeleteOr very nicely suggest that you won't be buying tickets for The UD, but you will buy tickets for Broomfield's doc if they pick that up.
Don't make them think Palin haters are as rude and ugly as Palinbots.
OT. Who in the world are these babies with Sarah? Trig 1? Trig 2? Trig A? Trig B?

Are we supposed to believe that this baby is 4 months old?

After re-reading his email and trying to understand all of it,it seems like someone should have picked up that something more was going on there than just that he wanted to help his mother.He seems unfocused and disjointed,in a strange way.Maybe just someone answering and showing concern and explaining there was nothing she could do personally would have made a difference.Someone reading the letter and detecting that same strange vibe could have sent a copy to his commanders as well.This could have been an ignored red flag that a caring person should have seen.
ReplyDeleteIt was within Palins' ability to render assistance to Morelock.... She COULD have helped him.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Gryphen. It really explains a lot. Knowing what she knew of that family, Palin's actions were completely unforgivable. Frankly, all the Palins did was make a bad situation worse.
ReplyDeleteAnon @11:06, thank you for the link to the e-mail regarding the OCS. I googled Ms. Miller to see what became of her. The first link I came across brought me to the one below. It gave me the chills. Notice the date of the fire and the date of the e-mails. This might be a bit of a stretch, but there seem to be too many coincidences to ignore.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080905/NEWS/809050332
--------------------
This article caught my attention because that's my local newspaper. I was unable to read the link because if one is not a subscriber, can only view x amount of articles per month.
But I knew what case it referred to and was only vaguely aware of it's mystery at the time, so I just googled up more about the story. It is VERY deep and convoluted and remains completely unsolved. TWO cabins a couple miles apart on Dead Indian Rd. (outside Ashland, Oregon) burned down within an hour and no clues have been found. The one victim (whose body was so incinerated that it took 6 months to positively identify) was the brother of Linda Lewis Miller; the Alaskan woman in the email link posted at 11:06. Dave Lewis, was beloved by many.
Yeah, it's surely a long-shot, but .....really ironic. Google the names and you'll see there's still plenty of interest in this tragic mystery.
Hey Sarah, what happened to love me a soldier in uniform (saying this while whipping her tongue in and out)?
ReplyDeleteYou abandoned a true combat vet who cried out for help!
You left a battle buddy on the field!
Sarah wanted to see a picture of dead Bin Laden.
ReplyDeleteSarah must of creamed her pants when she seen Jeremy's sick picture.

ReplyDeleteDon't give up. Critical mass is growing. Our actions have had an impact. The scope of coverups and disinformation is incredible.
I'm reading "Into the Buzzsaw" about the myth of the free press. A similar event is taking place now with the media so far behind in publishing information about Palin, and with Fox and publicists spinning Palin stories for her benefit.
However, it seems that momentum for the truth is growing. Keep with it; the truth is important.
To anon. @6:13:
ReplyDeleteI, too get frustrated and angry about the idiot quitter from Wasilla. It is necessary to take a break now and then.
I honestly thought, that with so many gaffes, so many scandals, and so much proof of her mental illness, that she would be DONE by now. Her political demise is happening, albeit a slow drip vs. a grand fall.
I DO see the media (sans FOX) now freely ridiculing her (most noticeably after her Paul Revere screed).
Take a vacation from the nasty woman for awhile - we will leave the light on for you - and remember:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” - Edmund Burke
ok, this is just a little weird.
ReplyDeleteI commented earlier about the cabin fires in my local area in Sept '08, and I was just reading further on it.
The victim of the fire is the brother of Linda Lewis of Palmer, Alaska (the woman whose complaints about child abuse in Alaska seemed to be going unheard).
In reading the following article in another local paper, they quote her talking a bit about her brother. It seemed so out of place in this article that she would state:
"He loved politics and almost certainly would have tuned in on television to watch Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin accept the historic nomination as the Republican's first female vice presidential candidate", his sister said.
Huh? I'm sure it's just one of those hinky coincidences of the universe, but that case remains totally perplexing to friends, family and law enforcement.

We have no way of knowing if she didn't contact him in some other way or not. I really can't damn the woman on this incomplete evidence.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I did not know that the young man's father had died. I will definitely damn Willow even more for trashing the Morlock's home, when she must have been very aware that they had been devastated by the loss of their father and husband, perhaps that was why it was being sold. What a creepy child, but then the apple usually doesn't fall too far from the tree.
Anon @5:32
ReplyDeleteYou suggest that blogging should be outlawed because the facts are not respected, giving life to half truths and lies. Palin is the most notorious liar I can think of, despite all the lovely, familial attributes you insist on attaching to her and her family.
Would you hold her accountable to the same standards? I didn't think so....hard to recognize what you refuse to look at it.
Also, ring leader or not, any kid that participated in the party and vandalism of the Morlock property has some serious behaviorial and attitude problems. Willow gets no pass. Your double standards and excuses for the bad behavior and flagrant lying that surrounds the Palin clan is stunning and hypocritical. Brainwashed?
Why do you Palinbots waste your time here? You are spitting into the wind.
is Jeremy Morlock Todd's love child? If so, SP wouldn't lift a finger for him.
ReplyDeleteTo add to the intrigue, there is a draft of a letter Sarah was to send to the Supt of Anchorage schools at 7:47 pm on Nov. 10th that was completely redacted. Why would that be?
ReplyDelete***
a letter explaining why your kid is being withdrawn from school because of advanced pregnancy sounds plausible.
Anon@ 6:13, it depends on what you can live with. If your goal is to expose everything that is fake and terrible about Sarah Palin, we may never succeed in doing that.
ReplyDeleteIf your primary purpose is to see that she is never elected to public office again, and is never allowed to be a political player to any significant extent again, then I think we are getting there.
This woman may always be in our face, on TV, spouting off about something. That is a distinct possibility. Many failed politicians reinvent themselves, whether we like it or not.
America is a strange place. They love giving folks second chances. We are a celebrity crazed society. She fits the bill in many ways, as disgusted as I am with that reality.
Regardless, keep on keepin' on because our country needs you to do that. It's worth the effort. If everyone gave up she would get perilously close to power again, I fear.
