Proof of Frank Bailey's allegation that Palin had fake Letters to the Editor written to sway public opinion.


In my opinion one of the most interesting things that Frank Bailey revealed in his book was that Sarah Palin, and others on her staff, wrote Letters to the Editor and then had supporters sign them as if THEY had written them before submitting them to the ADN, or other local newspapers.

Now I have written a few letters to ADN myself, and I know that they call you to confirm your identity before they will publish your letter.  This means that Palin convinced people to lie in order to cover for the fact she and her staff were falsifying letters to gin up support for her side of an issue.

That is absolutely despicable.

And the proof of that can be found in Palin's very own emails.

Dear Editor:

Kristen Cole would be perfect as she knows the pageant world but also she knows how busy you and
Todd are. I'll touch base her today, and Frank too to make sure we're sending variations and not
duplicates of this letter.

Also, we're rallying the troops re: letters for and agia. Phil Schneider's should run this wkend.

Palin then suggests making sure not to use the same people over and over again so as not to reveal what they are up to.

Oh good, they ran it early. I missed it.
Support is pouring in; other letters on deck.

(Here is the link to the email.)

Now one of the reasons that this is so important is that it establishes for an absolute fact that Palin has NO qualms about faking support and essentially lying, and getting others to lie, in order to create a false impression concerning her public persona. Bailey goes on to say in his book that Palin also used this same approach to drive up poll numbers, giving the impression that Palin was far more popular than the truth would have revealed.

So when, in this light, we consider the vicious attacks that have come from Palin's Flying Monkeys against her detractors, the attempts by her supporters to change the Paul Revere Wikipedia page to match her misstatements, and the cheating that occurred on Bristol's behalf during DWTS, I think we cannot help but realize that these actions were most likely NOT undertaken by her supporters of their own volition.

It is far more likely that these pathetic mouth breathers were prompted to do the things they did in support of their idol, and her daughter. And that the person behind those prompts was none other that our very own half term Governor.

She might not have been the one to directly give the order but, much like when RAM orchestrated the attacks on Joe McGinniss, the initial direction surely came from Sarah Palin herself. However she is cagey enough to always maintain just enough deniability so that if there is any blowback she can proclaim her innocence, and suggest that any accusation that she was involved is merely the result of the "Lamestream" media and haters attacking her, and her family, again.
But now with Frank Bailey's book out for everybody to read, and with Palin's OWN emails backing him up, there is no place for the Grizzled Mama to hide from the truth.

And hey, we have only just begun to dig through this email dump. There is still so much to discover.

    Palin's supporters may say this is a small thing -- letters to the editor under a false name.

    But Jesus warned that those who were unfaithful stewards in small things would be unfaithful in large things.

    A deceitful person is a deceitful person. Simple as that.

    I'm interested in the redacted emails with the subjects of "child custody issue" and "birthdate and social security number".

    All kinds of speculation on those...! One could think the child custody issue was an attempt to meddle in Molly's divorce. Or perhaps one of Todd's alleged love child/ren. Or perhaps it's about little Trig.

    But I'm guessing the birthdate/social security number emails are ALL TRIG.

    How EXACTLY does Sarah reach the millions of people who voted for Bristol on DWTS? THAT part of what you just said is absurd. I voted for Bristol at least 40 times a night because I liked her. You just can't stand it that people genuinely like this family very much, that they are personable people.

Bristol, unfortunately, brought out all the political morons who can't take politics out of any equation. The only reason voting was mentioned was because of politics.

    2:47- Gee, by your logic, and your own admission, liars can't be liars because if other liars say they aren't a liars, then the whole thing is a lie.

    I think 2:34 and 2:53 are telling you that you had best not be calling yourself (or Sarah calling herself) a Christian because you all are missing some very important and basic teachings. Bearing false witness is lying. Writing letters that others you intentional want others to sign as their own is lying (on both the person with the idea and the person who signed). Voting numerous times when ethically you should only vote once is lying because you are pretending you never voted before each duplicate vote.

    2:47 - you need to sit down and reflect upon your actions and they people you support like Palin because you are not, I repeat, are not following Christ's (and His Father's) admonitions.

    I cannot condemn for it. I don't have to - you have already condemned yourself if you are a believer. If you are doing unethical things in your job, perhaps you need to rethink your job.

    It's not my soul at stake. It's me being hypocritical, sweetie.

    Let me say that again. If a person has to lie or cheat in order to reach a goal it means that God has denied their access to that goal and they have had to go into league with the Satan to gain want they wanted.

    In mid-August 2008, Palin announced that she would be hosting a baby shower with Trig to benefit military families. But when it came down to writing up the p.r., the governor needed a ghostwriter to help pen a quote about her newborn.

    She wrote to her staffers via email: "can u think of a powerful quote to put in there re: we've been blessed with trig, now's a fun opportunity to bless others through kwhl's event.?"

  52. I'm counting on you to slog through the e mail crap. There is only so much Palin one can take & I exceeded my limit a while ago!

    For me I sit back & think she is the opposite of "Midas", everything she touches kind of goes to hell, including her half term as Governor, her sleazy VP campaign w dirty tactics (calling Obama a "terrorist,), and her current rolling disaster.

    She hits the road with this huge campaign like gaudy bus, with her signature all over it, but then says it is not a campaign trip & she;s not announcing & not saying where the fundy tour is going.

    Then complains the media is hounding her.
    Well why make a big spectacle of yourself & then play the victim??

    Hey most other people who go on vacation either rent a minivan or RV without all the signature crap & patriotic crapola & get in line with the rest of the general public.

    I genuinely feel sorry for Piper. I think she feels like she has no choice but to put up with all that hoopla & it is her Mom giving the wrong answers & having that all over the news.
    The other 2 kids Willow & Trig seemed to have all but disappeared from the scene.

    So much for special needs babies, getting special care. Sarah is off chasing the spotlight.
    Rather then actually wanting to do the job of president, I think she looks at it as more of a popularity contest, or she may just be in it for the free child care???

    In any case, it is like she is wearing glaring day glow colors & then asking what people are staring at.

    The GOP is not buying her little road sideshow, so I think Palin will be reduced to a tea party candidate. If Palin is a spoiler for the GOP, then that's a role I am comfortable with.

    Look at her Paul Revere gaff just a few days into her mystery tour. Bottom line: If Palin goes off script, she's screwing up.

    Here's a math question for the curious

    If there are 42000 emails that are directed at and responded to be her, that is correct isn't it?

    How many days do these emails cover? Or weeks, figuring a five day week, someone who knows this number - because they don't cover her entire time in office - can simply divide 42000 by this number to come up with an estimate of the number of emails she received and responded to each day. I used 600 as a rough number

    If the average time per email to load it, read it, think about it (being generous here) and respond is let's say three minutes. Then we multiply by that number by the number of emails per day and come up with how much time. I came up with 26 minutes of every eight hour day spent on emails, the majority of which have nothing to do with governing. That leaves 24 minutes at best for real governing each hour. Now it stands to reason the people of Alaska were getting royally screwed if she spent more than ten minutes per hour thinking of her image but almost half of every work day?

    "I voted for Bristol at least 40 times a night because I liked her."

    and you CHEATED! 40 times a night, when others only have 10 votes?

    you're a CHEATER!

    why is it not surprising that a fan of the palins thinks that cheating is a good thing? low-life dregs, refusing to play by the rules, but expecting that others should play by the rules.

    and she absolutely sucked as a dancer - are your standards so low that you would cheat to get a mediocre player to win? lame. people like you are the reason that america is falling hard.

    If $arah Palin is indeed stupid enough to run for president, then YES, it does matter. It also gives us insight to her lack of character, and "untruthiness."

    Why should we care if the president is allegedly "cussing out" staff over foreign policy issues? At least he's working, unlike the half-term governor.

    I noticed Sarah no longer draws a crowd (she goes where the crowds are to give the appearance that people are there to see her). Most of the footage of ther vacation/tour was of reporters--not supporters

    The Palins are the ones who politicize everyhting, including DWTS. If I'm not mistaken, Bri$tol was shown wearing a Tea Party t-shirt on the show. Bri$tol Palin was not a likable contestant. Fuck her, and her middle-finger! Her mother's fan base is what got her through.

    Gryphen, look at this...all the interviews Sarah & Todd did with KTVA/KTUU/ADN...Sarah is telling Ivy to add them to the schedule on 4/22 AFTER they have all occurred. Who does their schedule like THAT- adding things after they are done?!


    And very interesting...it looks like Sarah is saying that the TV station interviewed BRISTOL on 4/18/08-
    http://www.crivellawest.net/palinAll/pdf/13258.pdf


    I've always heard Bristol declined to participate. But this email sure makes it sound as though Gusty's TV station has footage of Bristol from 4/18/08...

  76. I'm not sure how to bring this all to your attention, but I'm doing searches on "tan," "sun," "bed" etc etc to see what I can see on the immortal tanning bed that Private Citizen Palin had installed in the Gov Mansion...

    The e-mail at palinemail.msnbc.msn.com/palinAll/pdf/854.pdf

    is from Erika Fagerstrom, dated January 28, 2008, and describes the different options for installing the tanning bed at the Gov's mansion.

    I find that story especially interesting, because in Going Rogue, Private Citizen Palin answers the charge that the RNC bought the Palins $50K USD worth of clothing by claiming that the Palins are so frugal, they can't even afford "name brand" peanut butter......

    So Sara went off on POTUS for using a teleprompter and now we find out she not only uses a teleprompter, she gives the interviewer the questions she wants asked so she can develop her answers and put them on a teleprompter.

    Can you imagine the journalistic sell out going on? I suppose it's the same at Fox News as well. How stupid these so-called journalists look now, or is that how much MORE stupid can they look?

    2:47, I worked in marketing for awhile too and quit because of this sort of thing. It might be legal, but it violated my personal ethics. And for someone who has built a platform on her Christian beliefs, as Sarah has, it's particularly indefensible.

    "Ok. So far we now know for sure that's the WGE is the queen of cheese, is as low-down and smarmy as they come. Unfortunately, being a person of incredibly low standards isn't a crime."

    These e-mails certainly do nothing to help her image. These e-mails are so far confirming what most people already knew about $arah Palin. That she is indeed petty, and a moron. Judging from these early e-mails, it doesn't even seem like the quitter was doing much work, either.

    Well, isn't this special. When a Palinbot writes in to gush about the governor, they redact her contact information to protect her privacy, but, as the PoliticsUSA article pointed out, when critics write in, they leave all the personal contact information in the email dump.

    4:20 - nice find. Very curious e-mail. Piper "needs" a cell phone because it would be "adorable" if she texted Bristol from class? Like Sen. Jay Billington Bulworth said so eloquently, "There aint no education going on up in that motherfucker".

    I can't tell if it sounded like blackmail ("It's a done deal right?!") or sarcasm, as in "Why are you buying Piper a cell phone when you should be paying me".

    @5:44 Are you new to the study of Palin? This story that Sarah wrote for her son, Trig, who she did not give birth to, in the voice of God had been discussed a long time ago. (It takes alot of nerve to think that you are God!) Glad many more people will be exposed to her inane mythology. For most of us these emails validate what we have all been working for these last three years, which is to keep Sarah from ever holding any public office in the future. Now if we can make her lose any and all credibility and cause her to lose any ability to make money and go back to being a nobody then we can close up shop on this dangerous media whore.

    It is ok to like a family or root for a person you like.

    I have a question for you anon: do you like the Palin family because they represent people like yourself who cheat to win? Do the Palins represent 'folks' who share your character defect to disregard rules, cheat, practice deception opportunisticly?

    Many a thief has been caught in a bar (or blog) boasting.

    We do not 'like' people who lie, cheat, are dishonest especially when they lie claiming to be morally pure and devout christians.

    But then, it is yet another act of practiced deceit to lie one is Christian. We get it the crosses get bigger the more Palin lies. People like you are self deceived.

  98. Went to Palin's FB Page and she's using that old "letters to the editor" trick. 15 posts that I have counted so far (I became bored)that are the exact same phrase, from different "fans". It starts with "I wasn't a Palin fan before the emails were released, but NOW I am......"

    Dude, Gryphen, bringing a national tv show into this is absurd. Sarah has NO control over who gets through week after week on dwts. Bristol was a likeable contestant. As an avid fan of the show, I can tell you that nothing out of the ordinary happened voting wise. Bristol, unfortunately, brought out all the political morons who can't take politics out of any equation. The only reason voting was mentioned was because of politics.

    Season 12, the voting process was no different. You could still vote as many times as you wanted. Thank goodness because if chelsea would have won, people would have died.]

    Well, you're wrong, they DID change the voting system for the next season. Only 5 votes per text and/or phone number and also 5 votes only for each ISP.
