Sarah Palin to Joe McGinniss: Beat it, Stalker!
Sarah Palin is understandably far from pleased that writer Joe McGinniss rented the house next door to her while authoring a book about the former governor.
But stalking allegations? Really, Sarah? That's pretty low ... but from someone who demands straws that bend at speaking engagements, are you shocked?
McGinniss said on the Today show this morning that despite accusations from the political lightning rod, he's not harassing them. Quite the opposite, in fact.
"If I lived here and did something creepy, if I did what Sarah Palin is suggesting, that would be creepy," McGinniss said. "I'm not observing them at all."
"I don't care what they do in the privacy of their own home," he continued. "I'm here to talk to people who have known them for 40 years in Wasilla."
McGinniss claims he got a good deal on a rental that happens to border the Palins' property, and would have taken it if "Sarah Palin lived on the moon."
WELCOME TO WASILLA! Sarah Palin is far from pleased with her new neighbor.
True or not, the 67-year-old writer is next door, leaving the maverick concerned for her privacy and questioning McGinniss's motives ... on Facebook, natch.
"Wonder what kind of material he'll gather while overlooking Piper's bedroom, my little garden, and the family's swimming hole?" Sarah Palin wrote online.
McGinniss denies he did any of that, or that he is trying to drum up publicity for his book, claiming he told no one outside his family where he was living.
"Then Sarah hysterically puts up this Facebook page with all sorts of ugly innuendo, which frankly is revolting," he says. "She has created all the publicity."
McGinniss, known mostly as a true-crime writer, has reportedly received death threats thanks to Palin triggering outrage from right-wing media outlets.
Palin "unleashed the hounds of hell," he says, comparing her tactics to that of Nazi troopers in the '30s. Maybe he should send over a nice fruit basket?

Uh Joe Mcginniss is the lowest of the low in journalism. Will I read anything that comes out of his "poison pen" notes. Nope.
I'm not a fan of Sarah's but I'm certainly no fan of this stalker.
If you hate Sarah then so be it. I don't care how much I think she should just shut up and live a happy life in Alaska I disagree with this old dude's tactics. This is a stalker and stalkers can be dangerous and obsessed people. He is one.

I'm praying for Sarah Palin and her family regarding this whole situation.
I'm also praying that Joe will disappear and find something useful to do with his life.
For all of you that think what Joe is doing is okay; I wish the same "nightmare" for you.
My message to Joe: "'Get a Life' you freak!"

I realize that some of you are fans of Sarah's and you are entitled to your opinion,but for God's sake, McGinness is not in jail for anything and he is not a criminal, and your lip service isn't going to make him one. He simply rented a house. That's all!!

Just because YOU CAN do something...does not make it "okay". This is some sick stuff this guy is doing. This IS NOT the ONLY thing this man has done, BTW, for all you Palin "haters". He has done other equally creepy stuff to get access to Sarah. She has a RIGHT to be concerned. It's not about "hiding anything"...I am sure this idiot has her property line bugged and all types of creepy stuff...This guy is in it to destroy her and her family ANY WAY he can. If this was YOUR family....you probably wouldnt be too happy about his presence either. You can SAY you "wouldnt mind".....but I know better....you are ONLY saying that because you are a Palin hater and a liberal. You would be b******* too...
This is NOT the ONLY property this man could rent, its just that Sarah had a neighbor from hell who decided to rent the property to another hater to aggravate her further. You dont HAVE to be the Palin's for that to happen...MANY people have horrendous neighbors, and you dont always hav
