Crankette McGetOffMyLawn really needs to concentrate on bigger issues than this, but since she insists…

Via Ben Smith, who has a lot more at the link:

“No one is stalking anyone,” Joe McGinniss, Jr., a novelist whose father is the non-fiction writer, wrote in response to an email from a Palin supporter who confused his email address and his father’s. (He shared the email with me.) “A woman was renting her house and sought out the author because the Palins had crossed her (owed her money for renovations she had done at their request and never paid her for). So she knew McGinniss was writing the book and found him and offered him the house.”

The neighbor “turned down more lucrative offers from the National Enquirer who wanted the house so they could ‘stalk’ and take pictures, etc… She said no,” he wrote.

“Don’t retreat, reload,” right, Crankette? It looks like the McGinniss family took her advice, although I doubt that they’d have used such a violent metaphor. Joe Jr. gave it back with both barrels.

Of course, the accusation is out there now for all the righties to play with. Too bad Joe Jr. broke their shiny new toy.

Whatever will Crankette’s ghost writer post on Facebook now? I’m betting it won’t be an apology.

UPDATE: Fox threatens McGinniss:

    I've been trying to decide which commenter to write a book about. I'll move in next door and spend the next two years looking for dirt. I prefer someone with a family. It's gonna be fun and I am going to make tons of money telling people stories about you and your loves ones.
    But don't worry, everything I write will be truthful and unbiased like the stuff written by our country's illustrious “journalists.” Don't you worry at all. And don't call me a stalker.I am a respectable person just trying to get close to you. And don't you worry even the slightest. My motives are PURE. Yes they are. I am NOT interested in smearing you because I disagree with your politics. I am NOT a smearer. NO. NOT ME.
    You people are so pathetic I can't even come close to conveying it in words. What has our country come to? What have we come to?

    Hi Elizabeth Kennen, I found out where you live and I am moving in next door. I don't agree with your politics, so I am going to spend the next three years calling you names and trying to find dirt on you. I think, you are — to use your word — a whoooooore. Oh, but you were just saying that about Sarah to show the world how intelligent liberals are. Good!

    Wow… first Palin has to start a riot on FB, then cries to Glenn Beck, to finally round it off with FOX News threatening bodily injury to an author?
    Does this mean if Sarah comes to the city wearing another leather coat she could be possibly taken for a Jack-Ass and possibly a ride?
    Accidents happen everyday Sarah… but when they happen to your neighbor you are SUSPECT!

    Thank you so much for posting this! I missed Keith last night and this is a great segment. Sure shines a bad light on her……..oh wait, that's a daily exercise, isn't it? I totally cracked up when Keith lost his breath trying to read her word salad run on sentences. In Palin's mind, naturally everyone wants to “stalk” and “peer” at her……and why the need to describe what she wears to mow the lawn? Attention whoooore.

    I can't wait for her to go away!

    I love Ms Pouty McWedgiepant's pic! The only thing she's done is guarantee sales (not bulk sales) of his forthcoming book. Interviews with Alaska residents should be quite interesting.
