Death Threats Targeting Bristol Palin, Mark Ballas
TMZ ^ | 11-22-10

Posted on 11/22/2010 1:18:23 PM PST by Justaham

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas have received death threats and "Dancing with the Stars" has measurably heightened security ... sources connected with the show tell TMZ.

We're told the threats began to come in last week, after Bristol and Mark made the finals. Execs on the show told Mark to stop tweeting because it was inciting people. Mark complied.

Sources connected with the show tell us extra security will be on hand tonight for the show. And, if Bristol and Mark head to New York, execs are talking about breaking format and not doing their interview outside in Times Square -- but rather in the studio, where it's more secure.

TMZ broke the story ... a staffer on the show opened a "fan letter" to Bristol on Friday and white powder fell out. Turns out it was talcum powder, but the FBI is investigating nonetheless.

As one source said, "Everyone is genuinely worried. This is a dance competition, and it's just gotten crazy."

to see how he was “inciting” people.

He was probably *gasp* complimenting Bristol. That's a sin against the left worthy of death.

To leftists everything is politics. And they are insane.

Lori, the show is on from 8 to 10 pm EST. I’m not sure how soon you can start calling in. You can also vote online by going to the DWTS web page.

It’s just a popularity contest, for Pete’s sake! The Left is completely intolerant. If it’s not insanity, it’s certainly stupidity.

Here's the real "scandal" -- on his blog, he actually tells people all the ways you can vote for Mark and Bristol:
1. Call 1-800-868-3407. Phone voting is open from the time the show starts until 30 minutes after the show ends. Please call your votes in as soon as the show starts-the lines will be completed bogged down after the show. Last week Bristol and Mark had a 73% busy signal rate when calls were made to their number.

2. If you are an ATT customer you can text 3407 to vote.

3 You may also vote online at http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/vote. You get five votes for each account.

Note how he encourages people to open multiple accounts at ABC.com, just to stuff the ballot box!!!!!

:-)

Depends on your time zone....watch for the LIVE thread tonight.

I think the phone lines open right after she dances in most areas, but in mine (Central) I can start voting by phone, as soon as the show starts...lol.

I kind of wish I had been on Mark’s twitter feed, to see how he was “inciting” people.

He expressed the wish that people who liked his and Bristol's dancing would take the time to vote for them.

“Who knew dancing could be so dangerous?”

Really! This is insane.

I wonder what kind of extra security will be provided.

Metal detectors at all studio entrances?

I can’t BELIEVE Jennifer Grey is still on!

What a whiny child she is. Boohoohoohoo “I’m fifty and I’m tired.” (I’m fifty too btw)

I’d vote for Bristol just to get her butt gone.

The left is a lot like the radical muslims, threatening to kill people if they don’t get their way.

No doubt they hope to discourage people from voting for Bristol, and also to discourage ABC from ever picking a conservative again.

“What will happen if something DOES happen to them?”

I predict: They will blame Sarah for “thrusting” her daughter into the spotlight.

Jennifer Grey is the typical spoiled rotten JAP.

She has “entitlement” syndrome.

I don’t think she will be the winner.

That is pretty darn crazy. It is just a television program. Not one viewer’s life will be changed by who wins or who loses. DWTS doesn’t even pretend to be serious television. Why would people react seriously to it?

'You know I don’t watch that show but just because of this I am going to call and vote what time do I do it?'

Ditto. I have never watched it, let alone voted. But I will start now.

Well, there is that leftist looney who blew away his TV set with a shotgun.

I think only Conservatives can be trusted with firearms.

She seems phony and I can't stand Derick!

Out of the three I'll probably vote for Kyle. He's been a lot of fun to watch. :)
