Alinsky Rules: Drive-by hate bloggers keep makin' things up

The same Democrat operatives / nutroots bloggers who hounded Sarah Palin with bogus ethics complaints are now attacking her family by spreading vile and vicious lies about her marriage. The vile creature "Gryphen" posted on the appropriately-named hate blog "Immoral Minority" -- quoting the all-too-nebulous "anonymous sources" -- that Sarah Palin has decided to end her marriage to Todd, tossed her wedding ring into a lake and has purchased land in Montana so she can move "herself and the children as far away from Alaska as she can get."

It seems to us that if one wished to get as far away from Alaska as one can get, Montana is the wrong destination. Assuming that such a location would be limited to the continental United States, the Florida Keys would probably put the most distance between one and Alaska.

Back in October on the campaign trial, vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin explained why she sometimes removes her wedding ring when she attends events that involve a lot of hand-shaking:

"And my wedding ring, it's in Todd's pocket cause it hurts sometimes when I shake hands and it gets squished..."

In a statement posted on former Gov. Palin's Facebook Notes page, her spokeswoman said that this was all so much manure:

Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent “story” (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island).

Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to “quit making things up.” We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it.

Yet Gryphen and fellow hate bloggers, undeterred by truth and common sense, continue to spin their Alinskyite web of lies.  A Stalinist's work is never completely done.

Update: From Dan Riehl:

Just had a discussion with a source close to Sarah Palin, this is a quote from former Governor Sarah Palin:

"Divorce, Todd? Have you SEEN, Todd? I may be just a renegade Hockey Mom, but I'm not blind!"

RS McCain, who got the same quote, adds:

"Thank you, demented lying moonbats, for providing this unexpected opportunity to score a worldwide scoop with the governor's quote."

Breaking: We have obtained a video which explains how Gryphen "knows" that Sarah Palin "threw her wedding ring into the lake":

Update 2: Via the NY Post:

Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein blasted the "vicious" rumor as totally false.

"I spoke to Sarah and Todd this morning. They are not getting a divorce," he said in a press release.
