Sarah Palin’s hometown newspaper reported last week that America’s Sweetheart got a restraining order against a Pennsylvania teenager who sent her death threats. After learning their baby had been put in a corner, the Sarah Palin Internet swiftly came to her rescue, and now everything is right in the world because this teenager is now receiving round-the-clock threats against his own life. That’s what that pinko kiddie gets for messing with this nation’s true president! But it turns out the teenager is actually a fellow Sarah Palin fan, not a librul Muslin terrorist.
The Christys are conservative Christian people who heat with wood and homeschooled their son through high school. Shawn Christy is not liberal. He does not hate Sarah Palin; he’s a fan — a young fan obsessed and then frustrated because he wanted to make contact with the Palins and be part of their phenomenon.
So this is just another chapter in our nation’s sad history of reactionary-hillbilly on reactionary-hillbilly crime. Where is the hillbilly Bill Cosby to explain to everyone that hillbilly wingnuts need to come together to help Sarah Palin make lots of money, not drag each other down with their precious gun violence?
But the hillbillies will never give up their death threats. Perhaps they can forgive threats against Palin. But they certainly cannot forgive this teenager going behind their backs and making threats against NON-SARAH politicians who have actual jobs.
He has had lots of opportunities to be arrested. The U.S. Capitol Police launched an investigation because Christy made more than 20 threats against President Barack Obama, more than 40 threats against 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain and another 40 against Palin. The Secret Service did its own investigation. Agents have visited Christy’s home and spent hours talking to him on more than one occasion.
They did not arrest him. They did not charge him. Neither did the FBI in Anchorage and Allentown, Pa., who also investigated. [...]
No one in the Christy family denies Shawn Christy made more than 100 threats to various public officials. Even his parents aren’t sure why he hasn’t been arrested.

Count me among those encouraging a Tea-Tard Circular Firing Squad.
It's rare that you see a situation where ignorance is, as it should be, painful. For Freedumb!
"Even his parents aren’t sure why he hasn’t been arrested."
*SIGH*
Even this reader isn't sure why his own parents haven't sent him to an institution.
I'm more puzzled that they are heating with wood. I thought the approved heat source for home-schooling conservative types was stacks of kerosene-soaked Qu'rans.
You only need kerosene to get the first one going, after that you just keep feeding the fire.
Because they are waiting for the government to come and take care of the problem. Just like all the other anti-government folks.
But, to be serious, it's because mental health services are hard to come by, especially in rural communities and for people without the money to pay for it. That this is the fault of their God Ronald Reagan just adds to the irony.
It also could be that they're addressing the boy's obvious mental health issues by wishing really hard that Jeebus cures him.
Wait, why is Ronald Reagan ghost blue in the picture of
Gov.Palin? Has his soul come back as one of the creatures from Avatar?False. Ronald Reagan was an automaton built by the Bildebergers and the grays. He did not have a soul. Until he took Oliver North's in a Satanic ritual.
I thought it was like Ben Kenobi appearing to Luke on Dagobah.
That's Team Sarah for you. Its like instant Freedumb. Just wind 'em up and let 'em go.
I am your biggest fan. Hug me or I'll shoot you.
I can't Imagine what other delusional obsessive Christian this guy resembles.
And I thought John Hinckley had poor taste.
Edgydrifter, if he used Trijicon's Jesus bullets, would that make it okay? At least it's Made in America and proselytizes!
Am I a bad person for wanting to send Mr. Christy a copy of Cather in the Rye?
Or a DVD of Taxi Driver.
Willa?
Clearly, it's time to keep dangerous books like the Bible out of the hands of moody loners.
Teatard falls in love with Queen Sarah, falls out of love with Queen Sarah, death threats follow. After death threats to President Obama and Sen McCain. After the Secret Service looked into it. Now he is receiving death threats. There is a certain … irony … in this. Sad too.
Yeah, really — where were McCain's supporters? Sounds like they sissied out.
Kind of like Mark David Chapman turning on John Lennon. The Bitch Goddess of Fame exacts a high price.
"The Christys are conservative Christian people who heat with wood"
That's the first time I've heard that euphemism; well, it is rural Pennsylvania, which is nearly as thick with the incest as the deep South.
Even in the deep South you don't see anything like the six-fingered Amish. They heat with wood, too.
Allentown it self inst rural but just about eveything around it is. Lots of gun toteing Jesus freaks around there.
Pennsyltucky.
"Got some wood?"
GWB
The Christys are conservative Christian people who heat with wood…
Finally, a family that can out-hillbilly the Palins.
The Palins heat their house with dried moose turds.
But can they conservatively out shop them??
Mess with the moose, you get the antlers.
Adds new sadness to the phrase "couldn't get arrested."
"Christy, a home-schooled rural evangelical…"
Translation:
Psycho serial killer in training.
Lucky, he can relax when DWTS is on.
Anyone else think that homeschooling might be part of the problem here?
Kinda missed all the "getting along with others" lessons, I suppose.
Err…ah…aren't all these people "Christys."
I mean you know the self-righteous, passive aggressive, angry, science denying, government hating, bumper sticker bromide quoting one's.
Come on you know the ones that have an exclusive and fundamentally correct interpretation of who the creator of the universe is and have a personal relationship with his son and YOU don't thus you're hell-bound.
No. They aren't called that?
Well hence forth thou shall be dubbed "The Christys"
They changed their last name from Fundies to Christys because anything "fun" is probably sinful.
NOW you're cooking with wood!
There is only one possible explanation for the authorities not having charged this creature with something, after he persists in making these threats after they have investigated again and again: He is, upon immediate observation, so patently and obviously a drooling moron, and I would bet that there is some degree of physical incapacity, too, like, they see that he is too fat to walk 3 steps, or get his fingers through a trigger, and thus, between his mental deficiencies and physical deficiencies, he will never pose a real threat to anyone.
In other words, like all of Palin's other worshippers, he is pathetic, just more so.
Sadly, the more likely reason that he hasn't been arrested is that he is, after all, a good bible-believing Christian, and law enforcement knows that those folks never do anything bad.
Trigg.
This is what happens when you’re not allowed to masturbate.
And we all know that a subscription to the DISH network and Cinemax and a couple of cases of KY and Cheetos would completely settle things down and put things in perspective, but do they think of that? Hellllllllllllllllll No! 40 bucks a month could keep this kid out of the hoosegow and home, in the basement, with cheeto stained privates and all of us safer in the bargain. 40 bucks a month for a Cinemax, Cheeto and Lube subsidy for all of these types would make the world a hell of a lot safer.
We could take up a collection.
Say what you will about homeschooling; that is one rigorous load of homework.
I want to know when this will all be Obama's fault. I've heard he's behind everything. Did you know that besides being a Kenyan muslim socialist nazi marxist, he's also a Jew? And in the media?
Learn to think like a teabagger; obviously Obama told the Secret Service not to arrest the crazy man when they threatened him because his Islamic-Marxist witchcraft powers told him the guy would move on to Palin.
Damn, I forgot that Obama was the antichrist (we shall know Him because all adore him was the argument I read from some tea-tard earlier today, which kind of nullifies the idea that he could be the antichrist), which is also how he influenced Christy.
Well, they're close to it; the Teatards have already turned around and started blaming liberals, interpreting the article as attacking Snowbilly, its only a matter of time before it's Obama's fault. I give 'em a day. Two tops.
You know this story is fucked up if Andrew Sullivan is being highly sympathetic to Palin
America, America, this is you.
Thanks for the "in your face," Asa. Like I'm not already worried enough about my paranoia.
I just really don't understand how he's not a Fox News commentator yet.
They were in negotiations with him until the Rick Sanchez situation broke over the weekend.
And CNN made him a better offer.
And how many examples of 2nd Amendment rights did this American family have to show the feds when they came to visit?
A fine line between death threats and object of furious masturbation.
Love. Hate. Love/hate. Love hate, lovehate, lovehatelovehatelovehateLOVEHATELOVEHATELOVEHATE
Reagan's soul is what it always was, sulfurous swamp gas.
"Even his parents aren’t sure why he hasn’t been arrested."
Isn't it obvious? Jesus has a plan for your son! Thanks to your great moral example, this kid could easily kill a leading liberal one day! Don't worry about his conservative victims, if they go to the right church, they'll be fine.
Get those conservative parents of the year trophies ready!
This hard working young man has made over 100 threats to national figures in the past couple years. My bubbe would call him a real mench.
The Christys are conservative Christian people who heat with wood
When did the governor of Joisey move to PA?
Bitch set me up.
He didn't mean anything by it. In rural Pennsylvania, this is how everyone gets dates. "You'll learn to like me."
Let us all just sit back with our favorite cocktails and watch these hillbilly, extra chromosome fucktards do one another in.
Please pass the Brie…
"Even his parents aren't sure why he hasn't been arrested."
Another homeschooling success story.
"Even his parents aren’t sure why he hasn’t been arrested."
Apparently, this is the homeschooler Christian Conservative's version of abortion.
This is why I propose we need more re-education camps for kids who do not understand conservative values, and "red" social networking sites (like Tube…thanks existing/former commentator facehead).
It is only a matter of time before they send all red-state kid-patriots of childbearing years off to war with the Muzzies and/or get hire death squads to go after their most ardent 2nd amendment followers.
If there is one thing wingtards are good at, it's doing "internet research" on people and harassing them via their jobs, facebook, telephone and librul iThingys. You might think it would be problematic, since the likelihood of this "Shawn [sic] Christy" having any of these things is very low, but for Team Palin, it's immaterial which "Shawn Christy" they get a hold of.
Give the kid a break, he's probably a big John Lennon fan as well.
Sarah is a mooselim.
For the Snowbilly or "I'll cut ya!" Christy?
I think that pic of Her Majesty showing the world the (lack of) length of his manhood is what set poor mushroom capped Shawn off…
I promise you, if this young dickweed had pulled any of these stunts during the Dubya years, Cheney would have his ass in Gitmo and Water-Boarded within an inch of his confused young life so fast it would make his head swim….Hmmm. Being redundant here.
Where, oh where are the investimagative jouromalists? I want to see this guy's face on TV, to see if Prommie's theory is correct.
My theory: He's Skoal Rebel.
Out of this filthy mess, she is alone.
They…
cannot…
touch…
her.
