A writer from The Daily Callerobtained confirmation about some nasty Twitter communications by Sarah Palin's gatekeeper, Rebecca Mansour.
The Gatekeeper
RAM is very good at calling people names, including Sarah Palin's "beautiful, brave" daughter Bristol!
A series of messages forwarded to The Daily Caller show a top aide to former Alaska Gov. and possible presidential candidate Sarah Palin mocking top political figures and even her boss’s own daughter, Bristol Palin.
About Bristol:
“Two words: Patti Davis. Okay three more: Ron Reagan Junior. Two more: Billy Carter. Doesn’t your family have one?” Mansour said.
“She will hold her at arm’s length. Even Thatcher was never able to disown her screw up son Mark. It’s a Mom thing,” Mansour wrote.
Another interesting tidbit is how upset Sarah Palin really was when Joe McGinniss moved next door last summer. [Becky has a very affectionate nickname for Sarah...]
When author Joe McGinnis moved next door to Palin, prompting a protest by her, Mansour told her correspondent, a pro-Palin activist, “Time to find a way to go medieval on this McGinniss. Don’t be fooled by the light tone of the [Facebook] post. The BigBoss is so upset by this.”
The BigBoss
In response to an unknown suggestion by the recipient of the messages, Mansour wrote “I was thinking more along the lines of mailing him a dead fish.”
We have observed how charming and engaging Rebecca Mansour can be, these messages on Tweeter just confirm what we already knew. She constantly challenges the media when they fail to cover her boss's every breath, which looks a bit desperate. I'm not sure the attacks on other politicians was a good idea, though.
I wonder if Becky will tweet something about how the BigBoss reacted to the disparaging remarks about her "beautiful, harworking" daughter. Didn't she get the memo about leaving Sarah's children alone?
These messages were sent privately, they were not public tweets, but there's always a chance of these things coming to light. Becky may have proven herself to be a very naive attack dog...
As predicted, the reaction of Sarah Palin's aides (that would include Becky, no?) to Frank Bailey's book Blind Allegiance consists of personal attacks on the author. They couldn't quite paint him as a perverted peeping-tom like they did with McGuinniss, but asMalia Litman pointed out, they didn't dispute the contents of the book. I wonder which dead animal Bailey could expect to find in his mail box?
UPDATE
Ben Smith reveals the identity of Becky's "friend" on Politico.
They were forwarded from the account of one improbably named Toki de la Vega, a contributor to some pro-Palin sites, though there was a man's name attached to one of the tweets as well.
If I remember it correctly, Toki da la Vega is a very young lad who indulges in lavatory humour. I don't know what led Becky to believe she could trust him. He used to blog with Joseph Russo, another ex-C4P contributor who was on Sarah Pac's payroll at some point. Their blog, "Fist of the North Star," doesn't exist anymore, but it was gross. (H/T to readers GDL and Palinized.)
At Palingates, we always enjoy the free flow of opinions and thoughts. The number of comments during the last days here at Palingates, up to about 3000 per post or even more, shows that there is a great need for discussion. I get the feeling that more and more people realize that the USA is at crossroads. A noisy group of right-wingers still spew relentless hate, even after the sad events of the weekend, and it's worse: This group now seems to be more fired up and vocal than before. This is a group of people whose hate now seems to be "institutionalized." Sarah Palin's fans currently seem to be the "core" of this group. She became their symbol, and Palin's perpetual victimhood now appears to be their main unifying cause.
But where is this supposed to end? How should members of a society co-exist in peace if large parts of the population hate each other? This is one the key questions, and a huge task for everyone who is interested in a peaceful and prosperous society. Will there be more atrocities, more killings? How is it possible to ease the situation, and to defuse this ticking time bomb called "hate?"
I come from a country where "moderate" politicians (as opposed to "extremist" politicians) are used to working together and cooperating when political extremism endangers the foundations of society and the political system. German politicians learned their lesson after the disaster of the doomed "Weimar Republic", which was bound to fail because vicious political in-fighting amongst supporters of the Democratic system ultimately helped to destroy its fragile Democracy. The common ground was missing. When people realized their mistake, it was too late.
This is of course an unique example in history, but a society which experiences a rhetorical civil war (or even worse) finds itself on a very slippery slope. Especially if many of the participants are heavily armed.
So where to start? It seems impossible to ignore that right-wingers have constantly put fuel into the fire over the previous years, deliberately, consciously. They still do. The evidence is all over the place. The fact that a black President was elected made many of them lose their minds. Barack Obama is not a socialist, but a centrist Democrat. But try to explain this to a teabagger and/or a Palinbot. They will probably just yell at you. Many of them apparently blindly believe what Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity etc. tell them.
But a civilised society has to find a way out of this mess - and this will be a "test" for everybody, and it won't be easy. President Obama delivered a powerful message yesterday:
Tammy Bruce thrives on hate. Sarah Palin and the Palinbots do as well.
Some people ask why Tammy Bruce should matter to us, which is understandable. After all, she is nothing but a "fringe" talk-show host. But Tammy Bruce matters, because she is deeply involved with Sarah Palin's most fanatic fans (see for example here and here). No other "media personality" currently has such a close relationship to the Palinbots. We can safely assume that Sarah Palin herself appreciates the work of Tammy Bruce. There is also no way in the world that Rebecca Mansour would appear on Tammy Bruce's show without Palin's approval.
But while it's important to call out the right-wingers, it's also important in my opinion not to show "hate" in return as well.
The discussion about who is to blame for the current poisoned climate is still going on.
MSNBC-host Cenk Uygur delievered on of the most important commentaries from the progressive side:
One of our readers, a psychologist from Arizona, let's call him "Stan", wrote to me the following (excerpt), connecting Jared Loughner and the actions of the right-wingers:
"I don't need to write a book about this, I can say it all on one page. I think all right wingers are in the same spectrum. The difference between them is their failure or willingness to become violent in their zeal. A high percentage of them are zealots. Many can't stop from regaling others with their beliefs.
The sound of the right wing rants strikes a harmonious chord in the deranged heads of people like Loughner. It gives them the feeling that there ARE others out there like they, themselves. The large entity out there that has caused his life to finally cave in on him after repeated failures in everything he tries, is, yes, “the government.” Feeling fellowship with those who rant against the government, Loughner now has validation of his perceived target.
Perhaps he no longer felt utterly alone. Perhaps he felt he will be the hero who rises up and beheads that horrid monster that has caused him pain all his life. Whatever he felt, I think the right wing haters sharpened his focus.
Be it Jared Loughner, the faux militias of Montana, Idaho, of the woods of northern Michigan, David Koresh of Waco, or the leaders of groups in many of the famous shootouts with the FBI, these people all have one thing in common. They are paranoid schizophrenics who feel others are out to get them. Many gather sheep-like followers and hide out, as in the case of Jim Jones, of the Jonestown Massacre in Guyana."
This opinion is somewhat "contrasted" by another message I received today from another reader, who also by coincidence comes from Arizona. This message is also very thought-provoking and our reader makes some important points (excerpt):
"My reason for writing you personally is because of our President's call to civility in yesterday's gathering in Tucson at the U of A. You are in a position to start the process of that civil discourse Pres. Obama speaks about. I believe the majority of us who regularly read your blog do so because we do not want to see Sarah Palin gain further ground politically. I think we all agree she is a poison who has no place leading our nation or any portion of it. In our collective zeal to make sure that doesnt happen the tenor of our argument frequently becomes heated and peppered with excessive hatred and we lose sight of the purpose... to prevent this kind of extremist person from gaining a foothold. There will always be rabid Palin support from a small contingent. Those people will not be swayed or reached with even the most ardently researched information or hard evidence of wrong-doing. Our hope should be that those numbers don't increase any.
We do, however, have an opportunity to educate those who feel disenfranchised, on the fence or seeking information to develop their own conclusions. When we engage in name calling and harsh finger pointing we diminish the argument. We also bring on the trolls. Our response to those trolls should be courteous or quietly dismissive. To 'feed' them only weakens our argument. I should mention that there are a few ardent supporters of your blog who routinely and viciously attack any divergence of thought by accusing the poster of being a troll. I have on numerous occasions been attacked for having a more centrist point of view. This type of comment diminishes the good work that you and your crew do in bringing us well researched information.
President Obama has put out a call for all of us to return to civility:
"So yes, we must examine all the facts behind this tragedy. We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of violence in the future.
But what we can't do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on one another. As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy, and remind ourselves of all the ways our hopes and dreams are bound together."
I think it's encumbent upon us to take up this call. Let it begin with us. Let us meet our detractors with courtesy. Let us be tolerant of opposing views knowing that our diversity is what makes us great. Let's suspend the use of derogatory names for politicians that we disagree with or intensely dislike. Let's call political parties by their proper names. Lets keep the investigations relevant to the purpose....to expose the deceptions. Let's make sure we don't succumb to rumor.
So I am asking you today to put the call out to your loyal readers to pay heed continuously to our voices and to do that necessary reflection that the President has called us to do. It has to start somewhere so let it start with us."
Both opinions are valid and important, and I would like to encourage our readers to discuss these subjects. We will not be able to agree on everything, because these topics are controversial and emotional. But a civil and sincere discussion will certainly bring very positive results in the end. We are proud that Palingates is such a popular forum where many people feel free to openly speak their mind, and we love our freedom of speech.
The USA currently has a big problem (and many more, unfortunately). There seem to be terrible divisions within society right now, and I frequently hear stories from our readers about how these divisions exist even within families. This is a sad and also dangerous situation. What should be the solution? How can society be "fixed?" Because this has to happen, or it would jeopardize the foundations of society as a whole.
It also doesn't help that the USA is currently in a terrible economic crisis. I will publish a post about the economic situation in the USA soon. I am not an economist, but I got hold of some very interesting information, free of "political bias", from a purely economic perspective. I found this information very fascinating, and I will share it with you soon, as the goal of this blog is to report the truth, and nothing but the naked truth. ;-)
But for now, there are some important issues to discuss. Don't hold back, please.
Will she run or won't she, that is the question? For many months now, political observers wonder whether Sarah Palin is going to run for President. The "clues" everywhere that she will run, and that's also what we have been hearing behind the scenes for a long time now. However, some people are still not convinced.
My view is that Sarah Palin is hell-bent on running for President, and that it's been more than obvious for a long time. The argument that Palin is only out there for the money is not true at all in my opinion. What she wants is MONEY, but also POWER. Sarah Palin is not a rationally thinking person, she never was, and should not be viewed by "rational" standards. Her "version of reality" is profoundly different from that of almost anyone else. In addition, Palin could still make much, much more money after a presidential run, she could easily publish more books, make many more highly paid speeches etc.
We discovered another piece of evidence which really should leave no doubt of what Sarah Palin's real intentions are:
Some of the administrators of Sarah Palin's facebook page also started the facebook group "Sarah Palin 2012", which appears to be the "official" facebook group for Palin's upcoming presidential campaign.
"Briefly last week, Facebook allowed you to see the administrators of any page. I took the opportunity to catalog some of the more interesting and controversial ones, including Sarah Palin's."
He then published the list of administrators and provided links to their facebook profiles.
He added:
"It's surprising the page has 14 admins -- you'd think it could get a bit erratic. But perhaps they don't post, just delete nasty comments; that could take some manpower. I believe the admins are listed chronologically in the order which they were added, with the page creator at the bottom because, well .. look who it is."
We only discovered this article a few weeks ago. I think it was one of our readers who saw it - please raise your hand! :-)
A close inspection of this list leaves no doubt that the list is genuine, and that these were indeed the Sarah Palin's facebook administrators in May 2010.
These are the names of the administrators, with links to the facebook profiles and some other profiles:
It's worth noting that no pictures of Rebecca Mansour circulating in public at all, despite the fact that she for example gives interviews on a regular basis (the same situation exists with SarahPAC treasurer Timothy Crawford, by the way, of whom also no picture exists in public). However, I do believe that there is a good chance that this photo picturing RAM's nephew Joe Mansour looking into the camera, taken at the Republican National Convention in 2008 and published on Joe Mansour's flickr-account with a creative commons license, could show him with RAM standing next to him. However, I am not 100% sure. We do know that RAM attended the RNC in 2008. Rebecca or Joe, could you please clear it up? :-)
In addition, the inclusion of Ivy Frye in this list is not surprising as well. Ivy Frye is a former pupil of Chuck Heath, also a former receptionist, then one of Sarah Palin's top-Government employees in Alaska, now Bristol's regular travel companion (for example in Los Angeles) and a close friend of the Palin-family.
By the way, a reader sent us some recent pictures showing Ivy Frye, apparently all taken in or around September 2010 in LA. The pictures are pretty interesting.
"Jackie Stamper Siciliano of Surf City, NJ, was the guest at the Susan B. Anthony List’s Celebration of Life Breakfast on May 14, 2010. This special event, attended by over 600 people, was held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. The keynote speaker for the breakfast was 2008 Vice Presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Prior to the breakfast and speech, Jackie attended a private reception at which time she met with Sarah Palin. “Sarah thanked me for my work at Team Sarah and sincerely expressed her appreciation for the work I’ve done on her behalf.” During Governor Palin’s speech, Team Sarah staff and members were asked to stand and be recognized for their “courage and boldness." Accompanying Jackie to the Celebration of Life Breakfast was her husband, Dr. Ted Siciliano, D.C., and son, Teddy. Jackie is the daughter of Jimmy and Vera Connelley-Stamper of Salyersville, KY. Team Sarah (http://www.teamsarah.org) is a diverse coalition of Americans dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process. It was founded by the Susan B. Anthony List in September 2008. Jackie serves as the Senior Community Guide for the 77,000+ members."
This discovery is significant, as it proves that there is a direct connection between Sarah Palin and her own "organization" and "Team Sarah", which is supposed to be independent.
However, the biggest discovery in my view is the following:
Four of Sarah Palin's facebook administrators, namely Maggie Walsh, Zach Johanson, Tommy Child and and Doug Lane, are also the administrators and/or "officers" of a new facebook-group: "Sarah Palin 2012."
If the "doubters" ever needed more proof that Sarah Palin will run for President, then this is it, as there is no way that these people would have set up this new facebook group without Sarah Palin's approval. In addition, the facebook group has in fact a very "official" look and also NO DISCLAIMER that it's not approved by Sarah Palin - and have you ever seen a "non-official" facebook group that has twenty so-called "officers?"
There is no doubt in my mind that this facebook-group is part of Sarah Palin's "own" operation, that this is in fact the official facebook group for her presidential run.

The first four of the twenty (!) "officers":
It's actually very instructive to read the "group rules":
No insane stupidity or ignorance, please! Did we forget to mention that any criticism of Sarah Palin is just insanely stupid or ignorant? No? Well, you will soon find out. Try to post there: "I don't like Sarah Palin." I guess that this would also fall under "dissension based on your opinions." Please note that it's the privilege of the great leader Sarah to provide dissension based on her opinions. This should be sufficient for all of us.
U.S. District Court Judge Neil V. Wake ruled in 2008, and again in 2010, that the Maricopa County jails violated the constitutional rights of inmates in medical and other care related issues. This ruling was a result of a lawsuit brought by the ACLU, which alleged that "Arpaio routinely abused pre-trial detainees at Maricopa County Jail by feeding them moldy bread, rotten fruit and other contaminated food, housing them in cells so hot as to endanger their health, denying them care for serious medical and mental health needs and keeping them packed as tightly as sardines in holding cells for days at a time during intake."
In a ruling issued in October, 2010, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Arpaio to follow U.S. District Court Judge Neil Wake's 2008 ruling, which required Arpaio to end severe overcrowding and ensure all detainees receive necessary medical and mental health care, be given uninterrupted access to all medications prescribed by correctional medical staff, be given access to exercise and to sinks, toilets, toilet paper and soap and be served food that meets or exceeds the U.S. Department of Agriculture's dietary guidelines. (...)
In February 2010 Judge John Leonardo of Pima County Superior Court found that Arpaio "misused the power of his office to target members of the (Board of Supervisors) for criminal investigation."
In 2008 a federal grand jury began an inquiry of Arpaio for abuse of power, in connection with an FBI investigation. Arpaio is being investigated for politically motivated and "bogus" prosecutions, which a former US Attorney called "utterly unacceptable". Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon has called Arpaio's "long list" of questionable prosecutions "a reign of terror".
"A reign of terror?" Sounds like a pretty good description of a potential Palin Presidency.
A very appropriate present for Sarah, whose main appeal for many male voters still seems to be that she apparently is "hot."
It's a real shame that Sarah Palin didn't tell Joe the story of Diana Palin, Todd's half-sister, who committed several burglaries in 2009 while being a drug addict. I am sure that Sheriff Joe would have offered his sympathies. ;-)
Norm Olson claims that Alaska Dispatch editor Tony Hopfinger behaved "disrespectfully" by asking questions and therefore deserved to be arrested. Fascist thinking through and through.
In addition, aview999 found this little nugget - "Dropzone Bill" now put a note in the window of his shop in Anchorage:
Thanks for making clear that Dropzone Bill and his friends have no issues with "killing people."
"Dropzone Bill" William F. Fulton meanwhile has a new lawyer: Wayne Anthony Ross ("WAR"), Sarah Palin's failed choice for Alaska's attorney general (I still remember that day, listening live on the radio to the vote in AK legislature - it was wonderful!). "WAR" was also the co-chair of Sarah Palin's gubernational campaign for Governor in 2006.
When I walked in the door, it seemed like the average campaign event. People wore buttons. Kids played with balloons. Everybody ate hot dogs. Right away I could feel a blond woman watching me. I wound into the crowd with my notebook, ignoring her. I saw Miller. His back was to me. There was a crowd around him. About then the blond woman appeared in my path.
She asked if I was with the news media.
Yes, I nodded.
Media weren't invited to this event, she said.
But it said on Twitter anyone could come, I said. It was a "meet and greet," I said.
That was a mistake, she said.
How could that be? What about all the people who weren't reporters who read Twitter and came over?
The event got changed at the last minute, she said. It was only for volunteers. It was private, she said. She ushered me to the door. If I had questions, she said, I could call the campaign's press person.
I didn't want to talk to the campaign's press person, I said. I wanted to talk to voters.
The voters thought the event was private and that news media wouldn't be there, she said.
I needed to leave, she said.
And with that, I found myself out on the pavement. I called back into the open door, trying to get her name. She turned her back on me. The door shut.

Back to Sarah Palin:
Sarah's fans continue to fall over themselves in adoration for their idol. Right-wing talk show host Tammy Bruce interviewed Rebecca Mansour from C4P/SarahPAC on her radio show, and these two have the biggest girl crush on Sarah Palin ever witnessed (ok, others come close as well, like Adrienne Ross). It's a comical experience to listen to them, knowing that Sarah Palin is nothing like this wonderful person they describe. Sarah is only "wonderful" if you give her your adoration. If you refuse to do that, you turn immediately into her mortal enemy, because due to her personality disorder, she is unable to accept any dissent.
This interview makes it again plain obvious that the Palinbots are nothing but a pure personality cult, and all criticism towards the great leader Sarah Palin has to be ridiculed immediately, because it just cannot be true.
Accordingly, Rebecca Mansour ("RAM-hammer" in old C4P days) is Sarah Palin's "enforcer" on her facebook page and faithfully deletes all the comments which are even slightly critical of Sarah Palin.
Tammy Bruce and Rebecca Mansour don't seem to realize that they were talking about Sarah Palin as if she was already on the campaign trail for 2012. This should remove the last doubts that Palin is going to run for President, but as I have mentioned before, we already know from several reliable sources for quite a while now that Sarah Palin is going to run. So America is to experience much more screech, hate and madness in the near future.
On a side-note, Rebecca Mansour claims that superwoman Sarah Palin works "20 hours a day." Who cares for her children then? Why do I even ask...

Other articles which were published during the previous days:
I would like to conclude this little "Sunday-roundup" with presenting another documentary which some of you might not have watched yet.
"The Fog of War" won the Oscar for the best documentary in 2003, and deservedly so - it's without any doubt one of the best documentary ever made. It's a huge achievement, and a riveting viewing experience.
This documentary about "the life and times" of former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara is also incredibly relevant when we look at a figure like Sarah Palin, who likes to divide the world in good and evil, and seems incapable of any form of self-reflection. Take into account also Palin's inability to deal with criticism and to feel empathy with others, and we come to realize that the world as we know it wouldn't exist any more if there had been a "President Palin" in charge in 1962 during the Cuba missile crisis (McNamara's lesson No 1: "Empathize with your enemy").
Never has anybody given a more shocking description than Robert McNamara in this documentary of incredibly how close the world was to nuclear war in 1962.
"In case you don't know, the two founders of this blog, Rebecca Mansour and Joey Russo, left C4P months ago to work for Governor Palin's PAC after she resigned. They decided to leave quietly because neither of them wanted to draw attention to themselves or be harassed by anti-Palin blogs."
Ok, Palinbots, let's get some things straight here:
1. The only reason Rebecca Mansour and Joseph Russo "left quietly" without an announcement or explanation was that they didn't want to draw attention to the fact that they were supposed to write Sarah Palin's facebook posts.
2. The secrecy was kept up in the meantime in order to create the false impression through the posts on facebook that Sarah Palin has intellectual capabilities or a deeper understanding of political issues, when in fact Sarah Palin doesn't have a clue. The facebook posts were then celebrated on a daily basis on C4P, although everybody at C4P knew that they were actually written by the "great founders" Rebecca Mansour and Joseph Russo.
3. The disclosure of the direct connection between C4P and Sarah Palin is highly embarassing, because it is now more than obvious that the C4P "Webathon" for the Palin's "Alaska Fund Trust" was most likely not a grassroots effort, but a coordinated effort with Sarah Palin - who offically has nothing to do at all with her slush-fund called "Alaska Fund Trust".
Rebecca Mansour is a shameless opportunist, without any conviction. In an article from Politico, we find an interesting fact:
Mansour, who had briefly volunteered for Barack Obama in the earliest parts of the campaign, says she connected with Palin over energy independence. She did not like McCain from the start and became “creeped out” by people’s worshipful attitude toward Obama.
While in the Obama camp Rebecca was a nobody, at C4P she was treated like a queen. Strangely enough, she had no problem with C4Peers' worshipful attitude toward Sarah Palin.
RAM found out that jumping on the Sarah Palin bandwagon satisfied her own vanity and would be a better proposition for furthering her own personal ambitions. To that end, she spared no efforts to help her new found best friend.
Here are some screenshots of the launch of the C4P webathon, by Rebecca A. Mansour:
She was pretty certain that the webathon was absolutely necessary:
Bending the rules didn't present a problem:
Rebecca went on the Eddie Burke show to publicize the webathon:
C4P also started the campaign to fire Letterman and RAM had a chat with Dan Fagan on his radio show. Dan could hardly get a word in, as Rebecca tends to get a bit carried away.
Rebecca Mansour and C4P waged many dirty campaigns on behalf of Sarah Palin while Meg Stapleton claimed that the "governor" had no direct or official links to either of them. They had their own little secrets...
Rebecca, did you really think that all these secrets would never come to light? This reminds me of ordinary criminals. You and Sarah Palin truly belong together. .
More strong indications to establish that Rebecca Mansour and Joseph Russo, formerly "conservatives4palin" are Sarah Palin's mysterious facebook writers - thanks to our fantastic readers!
SarahPAC paid $ 6,000 to Aries Petra Consulting LLC, 12728 Directors Loop, Woodbridge, Virginia 22192 on 12/08/2009 and another $ 6,000 on 10/28/2009 for "Media Consulting".
The owner of Aries Petra Consulting LLC is none other than the infamous Rebecca A. Mansour, formerly the "lead attack dog" on conservatives4palin.
So the owner of Aries Petra Consulting is located in Los Angeles.
Guess who also lives at this address?
Rebecca A. Mansour, one of the founders of C4P and long rumored to be one of the writers who impersonate Sarah Palin on facebook!
Well hidden, but not well hidden enough! Took me just a few clicks to find it out, and the credit for finding the Virgina State Corporation database goes to our reader "Palinoia"!
But that's not the end of the good news, because our reader "emilypeacock" single-handedly found the proof that the mysterious firm "Callisto Consulting LLC" belongs to nobody else than Joseph Russo - another founding father of crazies4palin!
Callisto Consulting LLC received $ 8,000 from SarahPAC in two amounts on 10/28/2009 and 11/27/2009.
Callisto Consulting LLC is located in 904 D St, Millville, New Jersey 08332, which is coincidentally also the address of Joseph Russo!
BUSTED!
This also gives me an opportunity to look back on Rebecca A. Mansour's long history of abusing others - karma is a bitch!
See for example here:
The "sick motherf***er" is yours truly! ;-)
More info will follow.

UPDATE:
Just 3 weeks ago, someone left a highly revealing comment on the blog of wingut Dan Riehl.
"The so-called "adults" at C4P left in June 2009, after a sojourn in Alaska where they had a tete-a-tete with Palin. I use the term "adult" advisedly, because the erstwhile owner of the blog, seemingly having turned it over to some of the more vociferous contributors back in June, had an erratic hand in managing the information she allowed to remain in blog comments, once posted. Dissenting opinions tended, and still do, to disappear, usually with accompanying profanities.
If anyone were ever to find out the names of Palin's "spokespeople" other than the well-known Meg Stapleton, I think you'd find those C4P "adults" in that group.
Posted by: WebmistressEMC Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 10:02 AM"
Screenshot:
I believe that this commenter spoke the truth and that Rebecca Mansour, Joseph Russo and most likely also Tim Lindell had a meeting with Sarah Palin in June 2009. This time line is entirely consistent with the other information which is available, because around this time, the three suddenly left C4P without any explanation. Now it is pretty clear to me what really happened and who impersonated Sarah Palin on facebook since that time.
+++
UPDATE 2:
Joseph Russo had a blog together with C4P-nasty Toki De La Vega earlier in 2009. The blog was called "Fist of the North Star". It doesn't exist any more, but screenshots have survived. Look what wonderful stuff Sarah Palin's "employee" Joseph Russo was willing to be held responsible for - even though this particular post was written by his friend Toki.
Sarah Palin surely knows how to choose her "employees" - just the best and brightest and with the highest personal integrity!
It's too heavy to post here - see the links to my flickr:
Our friend snowbilly from "Palin's Q&A + fun" had just proven in a blogpost on Saturday that Sarah Palin doesn't actually know what is posted in her name on facebook:
Tuesday, Sarah Palin commended N.O.W. on Facebook; Thursday, she slammed them — for not doing what she had praised them for doing on Tuesday!
+++
UPDATE 4:
A particularly nasty example of how Rebecca Mansour used to deal with "enemies" (=anybody who doesn't regard Sarah Palin as unfailable godlike superwoman) is her exchange with Ennealogic from June 2009 - coincidentally just around the time when RAM was meeting Sarah Palin:
That's it. Now you are banned for life, you sick son of a bitch.
"may not subscribe" to my beliefs?
Yes, I would also delete and ban racists, Obama birth certificate truthers, and Holocaust deniers.
You are at home with those people.
Don't ever come back to my blog. Don't email me again. Your emails are going in my SPAM filter.
Ennealogic was very polite in the previous email exchange, as is visible on her blog.
"Sick son of a bitch"?
Do people like Rebecca Mansour realize that their abuse gives us lots of "extra" motivation to expose Sarah Palin?
I think we have to take a very close look at the C4P Webathonfor Sarah Palin's "Alaska Fund Trust" now which started in mid-June 2009 - apparently just at the time when RAM and the others were secretly meeting Sarah Palin.
