A November request by 18-year-old Bristol Palin keep the proceedings closed was denied Christmas Eve. Her Nov. 3 petition for sole custody and child support also seeks a visitation schedule for Levi Johnston, the father of 1-year-old Tripp. Bristol says her ex-fiance has exercised "sporadic visitation rights." The 19-year-old Johnston denies in court documents that he has avoided his responsibilities. He is seeking shared custody. seattlepi http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2416780/posts#comment Tue, 29 Dec 2009 05:33:34 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2404041/posts We were told today that the Left is making the rounds on various sites like HuffPo, Daily Kos, etc. (all the usual suspects), talking about how great it would be for people to go to Sarah Palin’s book signings and throw eggs, tomatoes, rocks, etc. at her and her family.
