It is not illegal to impersonate a journalist, but when an
anti-Palin blogger published a bogus “exclusive” Saturday,
he signed up for a
lesson in the law of unintended consequences:
Jesse Griffin, the Alaska blogger who Saturday claimed in an
“exclusive” report that Todd and Sarah Palin were
divorcing, will no longer work as an Anchorage kindergarten
teaching assistant, school officials confirmed Wednesday.
Griffin’s resignation followed revelations that the 49-year-old
Griffin had posted (under the alias “Gryphen”) sexually
explicit advocacy of pornography and masturbation on his
“Immoral Minority” blog… .
Griffin blamed “the Palin team and their minions” for
discovery of his “Gryphen” online alias, which he says
resulted in death threats and harassment… .
“Minions”? Merely a reporter doing his job.
It’s like Joe Friday said: “Just the facts, ma’am.”
Read the whole thing.

Good job, RSM. Thank you.

See you in Hell, Jesse Griffin, you "minion" of the Satanocrats and their messiah B.O.
Blunted| 8.6.09 @ 4:21AM
Jesse Griffen must make you feel so proud, LR/Jeremiah. Another fine example of today's democrat.
What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

"Immoral Minority"
That pretty well covers it.
greg| 8.6.09 @ 10:18AM
As disgusting as Jesse Griffin turned out to be, I'm not surprised. My bet is that if a similar investigation was done on Shannyn Moore, Linda Biegel, Dennis Zaki, Philip Munger, Jeanne Devon, Andree McLeod, Sondra Tompkins, etc., etc., (the Alaskan anti-Palin bloggers and complaint filers) you would find a lot of dirt on all of them.
These are the kind of people that the DNC recruits to carry out its dirty work. Useful idiots are a dime a dozen.
JB| 8.6.09 @ 10:28AM
Every single one of these democrat bloggers are just as disgusting and inhuman.
His man had no business being around children with his obvious personality defects.
Ocarterma| 8.6.09 @ 10:46AM
Now let's interview those kids he "taught" and get to some real truth about the perve.

Where are the trolls? Bring in the trolls to defend this pervert. Where are the Huff/Po minions?
Wow, even demonrats have shame, who'd a thunk it?
Bob Larimer | 8.6.09 @ 1:23PM
These are the tolerant, diversity-celebrating, open-minded members of the Humanist-indoctrinated (http://www.jcn.com/manifestos.html) Democrat Party.
Hate-filled religious fanatics, they embody the very accusations they make about conservative religious people like Sarah Palin.
The Left is full of creepy weirdos.
Angelou| 8.6.09 @ 2:19PM
The fact still remains, Palin had an affair, and she will not make it anywhere near the whitehouse in 2010 or any other time.
Jeremiah| 8.6.09 @ 2:22PM
What a fat little maggot Griffin is--he looks just like I thought he would. I wouldn't want him around my little girl or boy. Yuck!
Jeremiah| 8.6.09 @ 2:26PM
More lies from liberal nutcases. You should be institutionalized, moron. You liberals are perverts.
Besides, your hero, Bill 'sexual predator' Clinton, perverted his way through the White House for eight years--couldn't get any sleazier than that. Yet, you love him! LOL!!
Interloper| 8.6.09 @ 2:28PM
The Presidential election is in 2012, bonehead. Such smart demonrats!
J. Carpenter| 8.6.09 @ 2:32PM
When this thing started gaining momentum I tried to convince him to craft a retraction and apology.
More precisely, the advice I gave him was to "shut up", urging him to realize that we all have skeletons in our past that could see the light of day--particularly given the realities of life in cyberspace.
He obviously relished the idea of playing David to Palin's "Goliath" and was urged by his readers to carry the banner of anti-Palinism into battle.
I warned him their advice could damage him severely.
Now his family has to pay the price for his stupidity.
Hopefully, this will just fade away before his wife and kids take a beating also.
J. Carpenter| 8.6.09 @ 2:38PM
Anjelou, it's the confusion with opinion or conjecture with fact that fed the beast that devoured this guy. You might profit from his mistakes by acknowledging you personally know nothing about any such infidelity.
Can you comprehend that it is the kind of blind rush to judgement in which you engage that ultimately will have the cumulative effect of sabotaging Obama's presidency.
No single snowflake believes it is responsible for an avalanche.
Bob| 8.6.09 @ 2:41PM
Princess Palin is getting divorced?
Ocarterma| 8.6.09 @ 2:49PM
Wife & kids????? This turd has a wife and some kids???? Let me guess his "wife" has a 5 O'clock shadow right........wife & kids indeed...........
Blunted| 8.6.09 @ 3:34PM
The only Princess on this thread is you, Bob. Dope.
I thought Jesse the fruit was single. If not, I worry for his children.
C4P| 8.6.09 @ 3:44PM
Gee, Carpenter--you mean like the way you fascist azzholes beat up on Sarah's family?
Like the has-been David Bitterman laughing about Sarah's 14 year old daughter getting raped in front of 50,000 people at Yankee Stadium? Really?
Poor, poor liberal monster Jesse Griffin; my heart breaks for him. No amount of b!tch slapping is enough punishment for this scum sucker or all of you perverted demonrats.
Save your phony crocodile tears, libtard. Everything you stand for is a lie.

Sarah has not threatened to sue the author of the blog "Palin Deception, which is dedicated to exposing the allegation that Bristol is the mother of Trigg. (Yes--there was an announcement in December that Bristol had Tripp, but no one saw that baby until February.) Why no suit in the case of this blogger?
The author of the blog speculates that Sarah never will threaten to sue because the burden would then be on her to prove she is, indeed, Trigg's mother. And she can't.
Skeptical? What's your opinion of why she hasn't sued this blogger?
Summer| 8.7.09 @ 2:44PM
Good!! If he stayed at that school, I'd have pulled my child out of it. Who needs this filthy-mouthed hateful person teaching my kids and indoctrinating them with liberal views and Marxist tactics. This guy has been divorced twice. I wonder what his exes think of him and why did he get divorced from both within about a 5-10 year timeframe? What is this supposed father teaching his kids????
Good riddance to that piece of trash who should have been taken out to the dumpster ages ago!!
Archeon| 8.7.09 @ 11:29PM
Sarah Palin is a cunt.
Just wait, I bet she and Tod are getting a divorce.
SARAH PALIN 2012| 8.8.09 @ 1:19PM
All of you fascist liberals are c*nts. You're all worthless pieces of human excrement. I hope Sarah beats your thin-skinned, jug eared joker clown in 2012.
I'm going to work my @ss off to help make this happen, scum bucket.

Yes, I've noticed that some extremist conservatives would prefer to replace our Constitution with the law of the jungle but I really don't think "Every man for himself" is a sound basis for government or civilization. It's not what the Republican Party used to stand for and the vicious nature of its current "supporters" has done more to damage its power than the most Marxist liberal.
