Palin Smear Merchant: Kindergarten Teacher "Trip Palin Will Get His Ass Beat"

This weekend I railed in an oped against left wing operatives and their evil campaign to destroy the good, Palin (read it here). Obama's operatives don't debate her positions; they spread libels. They ridicule. This is Alinsky warfare. Considering how filthy Obama's background is, the media's refusal to investigate the myriad claims against Obama amounts to criminal activity. The American people were sold a bill of goods. And if that weren't enough, the syndicate is looking to eviscerate the antidote, our shot at a future as a free state.

CNN ran the divorce libel on the mere word of two rancid Alaska bloggers. Investigate Obama's ties to Khalid Al-Mansour? Never. Auchi? Never. Farrakhan? Never. Soros? Never. Rezko? Never. Walid? Never. Ayers, Dorne, Raila Odinga ............... the list is too long (not to mention the dirty, salacious stuff).

But a personal Palin smear ..... right on it!

The Palin camp has issued a statement decrying rumors of a Palin divorce being spread by Alaskan CNN stringer Dennis Zaki, sourced to an anonymous Anchorage blogger and the National Enquirer.

Yesterday, over at Riehl World and The Other McCain, the anonymous blogger behind the Palin divorce smear was outed.

The identification of "Gryphen" as Jesse Griffin, part-time kindergarten teacher at Trailside Elementary in Anchorage, is now confirmed. And let me add an overdue thanks to Dan Riehl, who got the same information and followed up with research and sources of his own.

Dan is one of the best document-research guys in the conservative blogosphere, and his standards of verification make Dennis Zaki look like a clown in floppy shoes. (Of course, Zaki doesn't need much help in that regard.) I've been a reporter for more than 20 years, the past 12 years in D.C. Dan is "just some blog dude" who only moved to the D.C. area two years ago, and in some respects, he's got better sources than I do.

Will update later with more below . . .

LEAVE JESSE GRIFFIN ALONE!

ORIGINAL (6:39 p.m. ET): An anonymous e-mailer forwards to me this communication, which I post without editing, except for formatting purposes:

I would like you to know that Gryphen of Immoral Minority (Palin divorce smear) is actually one Jesse Griffin. He must value his identity because he had his fellow Palin Hater, Dennis Zaki, black out his name in this document:

Zaki reveals that Gryphen is a kindergarten teacher of some kind:
Thomas Van Flein, Sarah Palin's lawyer, threatened Saturday to serve libel papers at a kindergarten to the owner of the highly trafficked "ImmoralMinority" blog for a divorce story on the Palins. The blog was given until 3pm Saturday to remove the story and post a retraction. The blogger stands by the story.
He also admitted in his most recent post that he is a teacher, but note that he won't post his name

Here is the evidence that he is one Jesse Griffin:

Gym forum page where Jesse Griffin's handle is "Gryphen:" (bottom of page)
Facebook page (friends with other Palin haters)

Donated to "Alaskans for Truth," a group created to smear the Palins:

Now here is the disturbing part, he is a teacher's aide to small children:

How this person can be allowed children is beyond me. He has written absolutely sick things about the Palins. He once posted a cartoon of Governor Palin holding a gun to her head. He once stated that he hoped that the "bitch would snap her ankle" walking off of a curb. This person is absolutely disgusting and should not be around children. At the most, his identity should be exposed in order for Alaskan parents to see who their children are around during the school day. If you look back through his website you will notice a disturbing obsession with the Palin family. He is also a Trig Truther person who thinks Palin's son Trig is not really hers.

These Palin Haters are liars who are trying to destroy a good conservative. I'm sick of this crap.

Dan Riehl advanced the story here:

Kindergarten Guru: Trip Palin Will Get His Ass Beat

This deserves its own post - click here for the rest.

Gryphen reveals himself, but doesn't back down.

As many of you are already aware I DID receive a notification from Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein yesterday. It arrived in my e-mail in PDF form and you can read it over at the Alaska Report.

Now Van Flein is forcing me to make an admission that I have resisted addressing for the four plus years I have had this blog.

Yes I DO work in a Kindergarten class during the school year. My main job affords me some time during the day and I have chosen to use it

teaching children to read

, and helping them to become more independent. I do it because it brings me joy to work with these children and I believe, and have been told, that I am very good at it.

Here is the kindergarten guru referencing Trip Palin in comments on a post:

Maybe he can bring that up while the kids in his elementary school are beating his ass because he has a stupid name.

More to come. Stay tuned.
