Death Threats Targeting Bristol Palin, Mark Ballas

TMZ ^ | 11-22-10

[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."

No one.

Who would have ever thought that your humble little thread would be featured on Geraldo, in TMZ, and in PEOPLE mag?

[netmilsmom]

I’m going to.
I’ll go over to the site and see what I can do tonight.

I have no problem with voting for Bristol. It kills two birds with one stone. She wins, Grey loses.

[DJ MacWoW]

As usual this crap can be laid at the feet of the press that started the “they’re stuffing the ballot box!” nonsense. The press does more to incite than inform.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I used to post it in CHAT, but tonight it will be in NEWS. Bristol & Mark must be nervous wrecks.

Good girl (((((Hugs))))))

[netmilsmom]

Geez, I hope she doesn’t win!

I’d like to see Bristol win to see lib heads explode, but in my mind, anyone but Jennifer.

[Texas Eagle]

Damn hateful, violent, intolerant Tea Partiers.

[Palladin]

Bristol and Mark can use all our prayers this evening!

Instructions:

1. Write down the phone number or text code that the host announces (it also appears on the screen right after your favorite couple finishes dancing). Record the information as soon as the host announces it because "Dancing with the Stars" voting begins during the show and not afterward like most other shows.
2. Dial the phone number as soon as possible anytime during the show or for up to 30 minutes after it ends. Wait until you hear an automated recording that states your vote has been cast before hanging up.
3. Open a blank text message according to your cell phone's instructions if you have an AT&T cell phone. Type the couple's text code into the blank text message screen and send to the text line number anytime during the show or up to 30 minutes afterward.
4. Go to the official "Dancing with the Stars" website over 30 minutes after the show is over, when the phone and text voting polls close. Click on your favorite couple's "Vote" button anytime before 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time the day after the show.

Blessings! I hear you.
They’ve gone too damn far!
Now the Left will get a preview of 2012 if they want to see the ardent support Sarah Palin will get. DONT TREAD ON US!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) & online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites.

Phone & text lines will stay open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until 11am (Eastern Time) the next day.

Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas 800-868-3407

[netmilsmom]

I’m there!

((((hugs back))))

[montag813]

What time does voting start? I’m a newbie to DWTS

Voting starts when the show starts up to 30 min after it ends. I am told to call ASAP when it starts because of massive busy signals. If you are an ATT customer you can also text 3407 to vote.

[onyx]

Yes! Watch here! - She slams Couric!

[lonestar]

Some of the West Coast libs getting a taste of their group-thinkers?

[onyx]

I hear you!!!

Tonight’s already exciting and the libtards don’t even know that we pray ahead of time for Bristol and Mark!

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

If Sarah Palin was stupid and just a “reality tv star” with no future.. why would there be such a firestorm directed at her and her family. I just wonder.

As Rush has said. The looney left lets us know who they fear the most.

“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.”

LOL I am over fifty and I think the same thing! Truth is I never liked her much on Dirty Dancing either. Same annoying presence. Patrick Swayze wasn’t a good actor but I did like to watch him dance. It didn’t matter who his partner was......

[onyx]

Your thread is going to be HUGE.

I am pinging Sarah’s List as soon as I get your ping.

I only hope I remember to add the others I promised to ping...lol.

Put your thread in BREAKING NEWS so everyone will see it.

This is just ridiculous! These people are truly crazy and dangerous.
