"The Spy Next Door" Edition...

Glenn Beck:

"This is stalking... It's really creepy... Let me tell you something, Random House. If you don’t get control of your authors, I will never mention a Random House book ever again."

Glynnis MacNicol:

"If this turns into a larger fight between Glenn Beck and Random House, I suspect, the state of publishing being what it is (and the state of RH in particular, which is not good) McGinniss may find himself pressured to move on."

The Epistolizer:

"Journalistic Peeping Tom Moves In Next Door To Sarah Palin... Palin ought to turn the tables and write a book on this weirdo."

Stacy Drake:

"I can’t imagine how utterly frustrating it must be to have your home sanctuary, the place you and your family reside in peace, totally violated in this manner. Exactly how far does the left... plan on going in their quest to destroy Sarah Palin? They still haven’t figured out that they CAN’T destroy her!"

Melissa Clouthier:

"While Mitt Romney lurks in the background amassing money and ostensibly support, and other Republican politicians stand by, Sarah Palin takes arrows for the team. This is such an outrage. If I were her, I’d electrify the fence. Also: What kind of neighbors does she have that would [rent] their home to exploit her family this way?"

Light Seeking Light:

"Sleazebag author Joe McGinniss has moved in next door to Sarah Palin in order to spy on her and her family while he prepares a book on her... Really, guys! This is way over the line, and it's creepy too."

Don Surber:

"She sees something worse than Russia from her back yard... Having been the subject of 26 completely unfounded ethics complaints — and having to hire lawyers and to take the time to knock the frivolous lawsuits down — Sarah Palin finds herself with a new unwanted neighbor."

Little Miss Attila:

"Sarah Palin is being stalked by a crazed journalist, up close and personal... Why are people unable to understand how creepy this is?"

Doug Powers:

"Joe McGinniss has for quite some time had an unhealthy fixation on Sarah Palin, but this is just plain creepy..."

Glenn Reynolds:

"Andrew Sullivan is furious he didn’t think of this."

Kathy Shaidle:

"Sarah Palin can see Joe McGinniss from her house... McGinniss... has officially gone from just a) that guy who got sued by a convicted murderer for pretending to be his friend to make money (!), and b) an accused plagiarist — to stalker."

Allahpundit:

"[Sarah Palin]'s palpably bothered by this. And with young kids in the house who are trying to have a summer, does anyone blame her?"

Ignorant Me:

"Forget the pie... I'd recommend a new gun and a restraining order."

Nancy Scola:

"McGinniss wrote fawning letters to [Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald], detailing the depth of his belief of the doctor's innocence in the crime of killing his family. Only at the same time, McGinniss was writing a book depicting MacDonald as a murderous psychopath."

Patrick S. Adams:

"For those who don't know who Joe McGinness is, just Google Joe McGinness Sarah Palin and read some of the crap this loon has written about her. It's a little creepy to think that a guy who is part of the left wing smear campaign is stalking Sarah Palin this way."

LOTUS:

"We just found out we have a neighbor -- a crazy, creepy journalist neighbor... At the very least, I implore Madame to build the danged fence...around the house!"

C. Doyle:

"Talk about an obsession!"

Daniel Foster:

"There has always been a certain creepiness associated with the left's coverage of Sarah Palin. If it didn't reach its nadir with Andrew Sullivan's obstetrical obsession, it has surely — one hopes — reached it now..."

Cassy Fiano:

"The biased media coverage of Sarah Palin has always been a little unhinged, but this takes it to a completely different level... He sought her out, he intentionally set up camp right next door to her home so he could spy on her and her family. It’s disgusting and wrong. You know you’ve gone too far when you make Andrew Sullivan look tame by comparison."

Seven-Sided Cube:

"This questionable move by author Joe McGinniss stuns all his fans... Its nothing new that McGinniss is accused of plagiarizing material and deceiving sources... Definitely moving next door to his subject fits his description. "
