Sarah Palin obtained an emergency restraining order against an 18 year-old Pennsylvania man Shawn R. Christy. The media has been slow to report on this story for some reason.
Free Republic reported:
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.
The father of an 18-year-old Pennsylvania man accused of stalking Sarah Palin said Wednesday that his son is home with him and hasn’t left the state.

Hopefully this lefty’ll get double tapped either by Sarah or Todd before he can fulfill his wish.
Sasja commented:
A protective order is worthless against some nut job who wants you dead. In my opinion it ranks right up there with those silly no guns allowed signs. If someone wants to enter a building and shoot as many people as possible before being stopped, he will not leave that weapon at home because of some stupid sign.
zipity commented:
Obviously this guy has been inflamed by the Tea Party and their violence……*SNORT* Just trying to get ahead of the LameStream media narrative…
No Man commented:
This extremist violence is very typical for your liberal rodents. Anyone that disgrees with their useless idiotic, destructive nightmares is pure evil and must be destroyed.
Fore-warned is fore-armed.
Trish commented:
The right always gets accused of being violent, but the left are the ones who actually speak violence, and act out in violent ways.
Why doesn’t that message get played over and over again???
dacoelec commented:
He’s in far more danger than the Palin family if he’s stupid enough to go to Alaska. This is just to let everybody know why the shot his *ss.
USMC Thomas commented:
I think Palin follower’s in Wasilla would dish out Alaska justice if this scumbag foolishly ventured there.
Ratt commented:
Boy, the Left sure hates women, don’t they?
donh commented:
And the father does not seem all that concerned just like Johnny Walker Lihnd’s dad had no apology for his son’s depravity. Wackadoo PA is close to the Poconos. I wonder of this red diaper doper baby was raised on one of those communist enclaves like Camp Tamiment. Check his behind for diaper rash scars.

If he’s a schitzophrenic, which is how this appears to me, then some drugs are in order. It doesn’t sound like political insanity to me.

What the heck did Sarah Palin do to be threatened by this guy…..draw a cartoon of carl marx?
democrats…..the party of peace!

This is what that extreme, left-wing eliminationist rhetoric has wrought…
Slappy commented:
So when does the mainstream media blame Leftists for inflaming this mentally ill guy by continually attacking Palin and depicting her in a negative light? Yeah, I won’t be holding my breath.
Although none of the comments are to the level of attempted murder like this nut, I hear over-the-top anti-Palin rhetoric from seemingly mentally stable Leftists on a regular basis. Many of whom claim they would like to physically assault Palin or repeatedly call her or her daughters every obscene term you can think of. Of course, many of these same people claim, like petulant children, that if she were ever elected POTUS, they would leave the country. If we were only so lucky. You can always count on many members of the “classy” far Left to provide reasoned, sensible responses, huh?

Another damn tea party whack-job.

Actually, I believe Cole is from Palmer, not Wasilla.
Read Going Rogue.
Journalism is dead, if journalism means researching and reporting facts.
bigL commented:
I don’t know all about TROs or Permanent ones, but the stories inthe Calif Press are that they are
just a challenge to the person being restrained.
I have been sitting at a Starbucks and just heard some person out-of-the-blue mention Gov Palin’s name and the reaction is way off the charts.
Restraining orders at least let the person know how deep the waters are and that he is over the edge.It might work.
But don’t count on it.
Who knows he might be set up as the patsy like Lee Harvey Oswald says he was.
Indigo Red commented:
This is a very disturbed man is serious need of seriously intense help. His politics, if he has any, are of no importance here.
Shawn Christey is more a John Hinckley than a Lee Oswald. According to the stoy, Christey had a fantastic delusion involving a sexual relationship with Gov Palin and a fixation on Willow.
bigL commented:
just as dead whether Harvey or Hinckley

He bought a gun and then flew to Alaska; really? And the airlines want to take pictures of my privates? The TSA has become as perverted as the public school system. No, I think the whole bureaucratic government has become this way.

This should get the punk some face-time with Joy Behar. Sarah does need to beef up her security, though.
