Track Palin In Custody On Domestic Violence Charges, This Could Explain Sarah Missing GOP Convention

[n2doc]

Little Green Footballs blogger Charles Johnson tonight directed his Twitter followers to the website of Alaska’s judicial system, which shows that Track Palin has been “remanded into custody” on the three charges that resulted from his drunken attack on his girlfriend in January.

Those three charges are Class A misdemeanors and at this writing there’s no news account on why they would result in Track Palin being remanded. However, the Twitterverse is already buzzing that this may be why Mama Grizzly will not speaking at the GOP convention. Earlier today Donald Trump waved away questions about Palin’s absence from the list of convention speakers, saying that “Alaska is a long ways away.” Uh huh.

According to police reports released after the arrest, Track Palin drunkenly beat his girlfriend, then put an AR-15 to his head and taunted her for not believing he’d kill himself, saying, “Do you think I’m a pussy?” Sarah Palin then earned national ridicule when she declared that her son beats women because President Obama doesn’t have “respect for veterans.”

1. Little Green Footballs is RW site right?

Surprised this news is on there. Mama Grizzly will just blame Obama again if she peeks out of her hole.

[n2doc]

2. Joemygod is not n/t

[hobbit709]

[packman]

23. Little Green is on my "must read everyday" list

guy did a 180 and takes it to the asshats on the right. Good site.

[sufrommich]

33. Mine too. It's been years since LGF could be considered right wing

and Charles Johnson is one of my favorite twitterers.

[AngryAmish]

4. Nope.

[VMA131Marine]

6. It used to be a right wing site

not so much any more ....

[FSogol]

9. IIRC, Little Green Footballs' founder had a Saul of Tarsus conversion.

[pinboy3niner]

10. Yes, and iirc the wiki page about LGF has the details. nt

[FSogol]

13. Light shown on him, he fell to his knees and proclaimed, "Wait a minute...Republicans are assholes"

[mahatmakanejeeves]

24. Didn't that Saul of Tarsus fellow and someone named Paul perform in a duo as the Two Corinthians? NT

[FSogol]

25. This is one of the two Corinthians, Trumpy was thinking about:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

34. or maybe our nation's four fathers?

Larry, Curly, Moe, and Shepp?

[FSogol]

35. and the 12th article of the Constitution....

Haven't kept up with all the specifics, but the change occurred a few years back.

17. that is a nice little summary....short and sweet

[leftynyc]

12. Not anymore

I'm a big fan of his site these days. You can read about why he split from the right here:

15. It used to be - it was very pro-Iraq war

But the site owner had an epiphany about the bigotry of the Republicans. These days, it's a pretty good place for finding out about what bad things Republicans are doing.

16. No!

Its owner actually disowned the right wing!

[msanthrope]

39. No.....in fact they link highly regarded DU threads. nt

[tammywammy]

41. Ha!

I remember you being accused of plagiarism after LGF quoted you.

[msanthrope]

43. Yes... a current denzien of JPR, a GG apologist,

accused me of plagiarizing a thread critiquing the great Greenwald from little green footballs.. .... she threatened to tell the internet on me.

When it was pointed out to her that little green footballs was actually quoting me, she backed off.

To The Jury..... no current DUer was harmed in the making of this post.

[Thinkingabout]

5. Let's always blame Obama for everything, it is the RW stand on every thing. I am

Disgusted with the blame game, he made a bad choice, he has a problem, he is a bully. Has President Obama ever beat his wife, no then look to the training her son received.

[lpbk2713]

8. Another bloody domestic dispute?

These Wasilla Hillbillies are a public menace.

[yeoman6987]

27. I am sure he has PTSD but of course his mom would never get him help

[enough]

14. I don't think a little thing like that would keep Sarah away, if anybody wanted her there. (nt)

[FSogol]

18. Trump didn't pay for her plane ticket. She's not going. n/t

[BlueMTexpat]

20. Some seem to believe that

it was more likely because she was not the Veep choice and she's in a snit. She's never let little things like what may be best for her children stop her from doing anything before, which is likely why they are such a mess generally.

But with Palin and Trump, no one knows for sure what passes for logic in those warped minds. They live in parallel universes.

[imanamerican63]

19. She left her husband in the hospital to be with Trump......

at a rally. I am shocked that she is passing up this chance to embarrass herself and the GOP on a national stage, again?

[Ilsa]

21. I called it right here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8011117

This was on the thread about Trump saying SP won't attend because Alaska is too far away.



19. That's really pathetic.
Maybe she told him, "No, I have to wash my hair that night."

Other excuses:
She's hanging around Alaska in case Trip (or is it Track?) gets arrested and needs bail.
She's waiting for results of pregnancy tests for, well, anyone.
She heard there's a birthday party she'll want to attend, whether she is invited or not.

22. ReTHUG America's classic model of family values

Oh My!

[tonyt53]

26. It's Obama's fault

[Zambero]

28. It's Sarah's fault

She sank McCain's campaign and Obama was handily elected. But then again, it's a reach to conclude that Track's cushy military assignments during Obama's time in office were in some any responsible for Track's history of violent behavior. The reason he was shuttled off to military service in the first place was to keep him out of jail based on shit that was already going on. Bad apples tend not to fall too far from their parent trees.

[Surya Gayatri]

29. Thanks, Obama!!! No, seriously, thanks a lot. That's one less word salad we'll be subjected to.

[Ilsa]

30. He's a danger to himself and others. He needs to be

in custody for a psych eval as well.

[gratuitous]

31. The logic eludes me

Does shooting yourself in the head with a rifle mean you're not a pussy?

[LuvNewcastle]

37. If that's what it takes,

I guess I'll just continue being a pussy.

[sufrommich]

32. Didn't this happen months ago or is this new? nt

[SillyHuman]

36. It is new

Track's attack on his girlfriend was in January. He was arrested and has been out on bail for months. He did something else wrong, and it must have been a pretty big screwup. Maybe there was a restraining order involved and Track decided to blow it off. That should lead to a new charge though. It is a mystery, and one not being covered at all by any media that I can find.

[lindysalsagal]

38. Those Palins will do anything for ratings.

[whistler162]

40. Dang kid you don't need to get drunk, abusive, and

suicidal. The courts will change your name!

[UTUSN]

42. Levi JOHNSTON is downright RESPECTABLE compared to the PALINs!1 n/t

[GeorgeGist]

44. Misdemeanor for domestic violence?

It will take women and men who respect them to change those laws.
