Proof of Frank Bailey's allegation that Palin had fake Letters to the Editor written to sway public opinion.

In my opinion one of the most interesting things that Frank Bailey revealed in his book was that Sarah Palin, and others on her staff, wrote Letters to the Editor and then had supporters sign them as if THEY had written them before submitting them to the ADN, or other local newspapers.

Now I have written a few letters to ADN myself, and I know that they call you to confirm your identity before they will publish your letter.  This means that Palin convinced people to lie in order to cover for the fact she and her staff were falsifying letters to gin up support for her side of an issue.

That is absolutely despicable.

And the proof of that can be found in Palin's very own emails.

Kristen Cole would be perfect as she knows the pageant world but also she knows how busy you and
Todd are. I'll touch base her today, and Frank too to make sure we're sending variations and not
duplicates of this letter.

Also, we're rallying the troops re: letters for and agia. Phil Schneider's should run this wkend.

Palin then suggests making sure not to use the same people over and over again so as not to reveal what they are up to.

Oh good, they ran it early. I missed it.
Support is pouring in; other letters on deck.

(Here is the link to the email.)

Now one of the reasons that this is so important is that it establishes for an absolute fact that Palin has NO qualms about faking support and essentially lying, and getting others to lie, in order to create a false impression concerning her public persona. Bailey goes on to say in his book that Palin also used this same approach to drive up poll numbers, giving the impression that Palin was far more popular than the truth would have revealed.

So when, in this light, we consider the vicious attacks that have come from Palin's Flying Monkeys against her detractors, the attempts by her supporters to change the Paul Revere Wikipedia page to match her misstatements, and the cheating that occurred on Bristol's behalf during DWTS, I think we cannot help but realize that these actions were most likely NOT undertaken by her supporters of their own volition.

It is far more likely that these pathetic mouth breathers were prompted to do the things they did in support of their idol, and her daughter. And that the person behind those prompts was none other that our very own half term Governor.

She might not have been the one to directly give the order but, much like when RAM orchestrated the attacks on Joe McGinniss, the initial direction surely came from Sarah Palin herself. However she is cagey enough to always maintain just enough deniability so that if there is any blowback she can proclaim her innocence, and suggest that any accusation that she was involved is merely the result of the "Lamestream" media and haters attacking her, and her family, again.
But now with Frank Bailey's book out for everybody to read, and with Palin's OWN emails backing him up, there is no place for the Grizzled Mama to hide from the truth.

And hey, we have only just begun to dig through this email dump. There is still so much to discover.
