The news media has been slow to report the emergency restraining order obtained Monday by former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin against 18 year old Pennsylvania man Shawn R. Christy. It took forty-eight hours for the national media to report on the court order, even though it was reported online by the local paper the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman on Tuesday.
Palin friend Kristan Cole also obtained a restraining order against Christy, who reportedly told Cole he had bought a gun and flown to Alaska in recent days.
This evening, the Associated Press quoted testimony Palin gave by telephone in the hearing Monday:
"Bottom line is, he is crazy and could kill me," Palin said, according to the court transcript. "He wants me dead."
Palin also testified that he also believes he has some kind of relationship with her daughter, Willow, and has brought up the girl's name.
The AP also quoted Palin's attorney Thomas Van Flein on the constant threats the Palin family has lived with since she came to national prominence two years ago:
Christy had "risen to the top of the dozens and dozens of people" who have threatened Palin since 2008, when she emerged on the national stage. "He stands out as the most persistent," trying to reach her through friends, associates and family members, he said.
Reuters also published their first article on the Palin stalker tonight, noting "Cole, like the former Republican vice presidential candidate, is from Wasilla and a former beauty pageant contestant."
The Frontiersman reported more details today:
Cole testified that Christy sent a letter in August 2010 saying that “he tried to follow the bible but had evil and wickedness in him.” She said Christy told her that he is convinced she is evil and must be punished.
“Petitioner is concerned because the respondent appears to be unstable and has stated that he believes petitioner is evil and that she needs to be punished and that he is coming to confront her to get her to tell the truth.”
Christy also claims to have had a sexual relationship with Gov. Palin, the documents say. “Petitioner testified that respondent has told her that he has had an affair with Gov. Palin and that petitioner needs to tell the FBI the truth about the affair.”
Palin testified that she has not had a sexual relationship with Christy, the filing stated.
AOL News reports on Christy's purported Facebook page that Christy was homeschooled and claimed to work for a Hazelton recycling company.
The constant stalking the Palin family lives under explains their visceral reaction to literary stalker Joe McGinnis moving into the home next door to the Palins last summer to work on a book about Sarah Palin.
The media's slow coverage of the threats to Palin are in keeping with their downplaying of the arson fire at her church in Wasilla after the 2008 presidential election.
And he’s not being prosecuted for stalking and harassment.......why?
I don’t think the leftwing media intended this, but I think they couldn’t care less and probably rejoice secretly while others will make encouraging jokes about it.
Using a Lord of the Rings analogy, the left are the Orcs of today.
Todd needs to step up. It’ll drive leftist women over the edge. All girls secretly want a hero, but the feminazis of course deny this. They’re already so jealous of her they can’t see straight. She’s had five kids and is still a knockout, has a happy married life and she excels at sports and outdoor activities that the feminazis can’t handle, she has a solid family life and nice kids and worked her way up from a nobody from outback podunk Alaska. So having a good, solid, hunky, tough, non-metrosexual, real American red-blooded male, who happens to be her faithful husband, step and handle it would make them LOSE THEIR MINDS, LOL!!!!!!!
But having a restraining order is the first step in documenting the need for self-defense. The restraining order won’t stop the nutjobm but it’ll help with the legal and media issues after he starts his .45 cal. dirt nap.
Reuters also published their first article on the Palin stalker tonight, noting "Cole, like the former Republican vice presidential candidate, is from Wasilla and a former beauty pageant contestant."
>>Alaska does not have many living burglars..<<
And it saves costly trials. See my tagline; and yes, it applies to civilians in the war against LIBs.
I think it would be the other way around. If Sarah or Todd killed this guy in defense of their home and family, Sarah would win in a colossal landslide.
These aspiring killers are a by-product of the Democrat media demonization of Palin.

Bingo!
Good point.
Please add me to the Sarah Palin ping list! Many thanks. :)

May God bless and keep Governor Palin.
What the hell does this have to do with this psychopath stalking and threatening the Palin and Cole families?
The bottom line is that the guy is clearly dangerous and needs to be dealt with NOW!
Is a vocalberry like a blackberry, but just for vocabulary?
Am I in wonderland?......
Seriously, I’m just razzing you.
Well, I live in South central Pennsylvania and he is more than welcome to show up on my door step since I have a big friend named 'Sam Colt' who desperately wants to meet him.
In Jesus Name, AMEN
And public figures who are loved intensely and hated intensely (they are usually the same people) have it worse.
But there may be more to this. "Obama" is playing with fire with his attacks on Fox news and on his political enemies.
He uses cutouts and enables nutjobs lilke Olberman and Schultz to get the word out.
"Who will rid me of this turbulent priest" is a very old story.
Let's hope and pray that "Obama" doesn't cross the line that he's got his tippy-toes on right now, because war is on the other side of the line.
Isn’t Hazelton the town that started the illegal immigration controversy by actually (WHAT A CONCEPT) passing laws that “citizens” show proof of citizenship to work or rent apartments or homes, because the town had been overrun with illegals and all the entitlements were sucking the city coffers dry?
