Sarah Palin’s Parents Said They Sleep With Guns After Death Threats

 Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin’s parents said in an interview that after receiving death threats, they now sleep with guns at their side. Palin’s father Chuck Heath related the story to a BBC reporter in an interview.

An article titled “Sarah Palin's Father: 'We Sleep With Guns'” published in the Huffington Post February 7, 2011 goes into the details. It seems that the negative emotions generated his daughter, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has also landed on her parents. Is this what it is like to be in the same orbit as Sarah Palin.

It seems that the shooting in Tucson that left several people killed or injured ratcheted up the threats and Sarah Palin’s response in which she invoked the term blood libel made matters worse. It is not unusual for public figures to draw attention that is negative, but to have it spill over to parents so strongly seems to be an indication that negative feelings caused by Sarah Palin are extremely strong.

It is hard to remember that outside of Alaska not much was known of Sarah Palin before John McCain literally grabbed her out of nowhere and made her his running mate for the 2008 Presidential campaign. In reality the rest of the United States and her parents may have known more peace if she had remained unknown and stayed in Alaska.

Parents should not have to suffer for the actions of their children, but the toxic environment Sarah Palin helped to create is now coming back on her and those closest to her.
