Author writing about Palin moves next door to her

How much you want to bet this isn't a lefty setup to get Palin to do something out of line? This isn't really about writing a book.

this fellow agrees with your position

I'm sorry, but unless there's somehow proof there was no other house available to purchase anywhere within that cities limits or surrounding area I find it HIGHLY doubtful that it was just a coincidence that he happened to buy a house directly next to the Palin's.

Does that mean he's intending to sit there and take pictures of them in their house? Not necessarily, though I think its absolutely dishonest and patheticaly transparent of ones bias to attempt to claim that such would be unquestioanbly wrong to suggest is a possability. However one does not need to be photographed none stop for harassment to essentially be happening. To have a guy living next door who is openly and clearly expressing the desire to, without mincing words, ridicule and degrade you and in the process plans to encroach upon the lives of your entire group of neighbors while in your immediete vicinity is understandably uncomfortable.

I see this as nothing but a purely dickish douche move on the part of the writer at best, and a disturbing and pathetic desperation to intimidate and harrass the Palins at worst.


let's see if i can translate this
the writer is not expected to locate himself within close proximity of his subject
that is especially true if the writer is not expected to write a puff piece about the subject
and residing in an adjoing property is dickish, and intimidating and harrassing toward his subject

somebody pines for the former soviet union to insist on imposing such restrictions on one's travel
 
Yeah, I read it. Still didn't answer my question. Why choose THAT house if not to spy on them?

look at what has happened thus far
caribou barbie's response to his tenancy has already given him material for the first chapter of the book
as a writer, he should want to be close to his subject
he should want to be able to observe them, coming and going
that's how he will gather the material for his book
as well as inviting people palin has pissed off around wasilla. those interviewees may be very delighted to allow palin to see them visiting with the author
his decision to move next door was a very wise PR move
look at how many folks will now be insterested in a book they would likely have not known about but for this brouhaha*


*apologies to firesign theatre
 
Partisan anything coming from you is rather rich.
It's not exactly new territory for you either.

Also, simply because someone's not on the national stage so isn't having every moment and every utterance disected by throngs of hyper partisans who live to condemn him and thus I've not heard any news reports about his "lying" doesn't mean the man is an angle.
So, you automatically assume he's lying, right?
Isn't that what you call "rich"?

Don't you think if he had ever done anything that the Barbies are whining about that that would have been reported on by now? Did you bother to look for any such behavior from this guy before you jumped to the conclusion that he will act a certain way? And you call me partisan? Seriously?


Common Sense says there's more than one place available in teh city. Common Sense says then there must be some logical reason why he would take such an offer. The only conclussions so far that I can grasp is that he wants to be close enough to continually and repeatedly examine every segment of Palin's life from her home life to her neighbors and their views and wants to continually observe it OR he wants to intimidate and harass as an extra bonus for a woman he obviously has great distaste for while invading into her private life and putting her in a lose/lose situation ala the "Peace Flotilla" in Palestine where she either accepts his rather disturbing invasion into her and her families lives OR she speaks up about it and he plays innocent which is believed as gospel truths by the hyper partisan liberals that foam at the mouth at the mere mention of Sarah Palin...IE his prime book buying base.
Common sense? R U joking? You try to come off as being "fair minded" and use assumptions as "common sense"?

The only people I see "foaming at the mouth" are people like you posting that this guy has criminal intentions yet,
none of you have provided one bit of evidence to support such an asine assumption.

If you have another logical, realistic reason to put forth as to why he'd purposefully choose to reside next door to the woman he's writing the book about other than those two above, I'd love to hear it.
And what would make me think you would look at any other "logical" reasons when you've gone out of your way to intentionally ignore any and all logical reasons to NOT crucify this guy?

Again, read the articles linked to in this very thread and see what this guy has said. (The house was offered to him and the owner made him promise to respect Palin's privacy.) Then, and only then, will I listen to your "assumptions" or "common sense" about this guy's intentions.
 
Yeah, I read it. Still didn't answer my question. Why choose THAT house if not to spy on them?

I'll type this slowly so it doesn't get missed.

The... house... was... offered... to... him.

Do you get it now? He did not "choose" that house.

I don't even think he was "looking" for anything in Wasilla, or even Alaska, when the owner offered this house to him. And what good journalist would turn down such an offer? Let's be real here and get off the Palin hysterical tour.
 
seems the air must be very thin, way up their on their high horse

the writer has done nothing wrong and yet caribou barbie has become the victim

welcome to the united states of the offended

Yes, he did choose it when he chose to move in. If he had no intention of spying on his subject (and I don't give a flying **** who it was), then he need not have moved in next door to his subject. If anything, it would HINDER his "investigation" because now his "subject" is aware of his presence and will modify her behavior accordingly.

What good journalist would turn down the offer? Any journalist not interested in spying on his/her subject. Any journalist not interested in being an asswipe.
 

Would it matter to you if the owner contacted the author to offer the house to him to rent? The author did not seek out a house close to Palin.

Does this man not have the right to rent any house he wants to?

Bull****.

You have no way of convincing me otherwise.
 
If you live close enough to your neighbors that they can see into your house, you really shouldn't be demanding privacy.

Thats what his Binoculars are for.

Of course he has the "right". He has done nothing wrong, legally. That doesn't mean he isn't a dick.

So, now we have the dick right next door to the twat.

The world is in harmony again. :cool:

I have a distaste for people who move into the suburbs for privacy. You're still living next door to somebody. What privacy is there?
 
:rofl

Are you seroius? The person not being nice and civil is AKR, not Deuce.

Well calling someone a dick is pretty wrong and am pretty sure a rule breaker. Maybe not. Whatever. :)
 


Where did I say anything about him not having a right to rent the house?

I said its simply the act of, at best, a complete and utter douche bag that just wants to be grating and irritating by placing himself somewhere he knows is going to irritate them (rightfully so in my mind), or at worst, a disgusting and morally reprehensable individual who wishes to harrass and intimidate due to political differences.

Being a douch bag or a disgusting human being doesn't deny one the right to rent a house.

Having a right to renting a house doesn't deny me the right to call the guy a douche bag or a disgusting human being.

I think you appear to have problems understand what "rights" are ADK.

Please never, ever post in this color again. OMG I am gonna have to go take a pain pill. My eyes and head. That is awful:(
 
Ahh... so him moving next door to her was because.... ?? Why was it again? To NOT take pictures of them or spy on them in the home and yard?

Well, if he has no desire to, and doesn't plan on taking pictures of or watching them in their home and yard, then why did he move in next door?

Because he wanted to and that is his right. I find it creepy but writers can be quirky and maybe him moving next door was a way to cure some form of writers block and maybe he feels being that close will make him even more creative. It is not unsual for writers to go to certain places to write.
