Witness To Palin Family Brawl Fired After Talking To ABC About The Incident
Eric Thompson witnessed the brawl over the weekend at a party in Anchorage that involved the Palin family, and now he’s been fired from his job for his interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that any videos taken of the white-on-white violence will not be released.
[su_center_ad]Thompson said he was one of about 70 guests at the party and told ABC that he saw Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol punch a man at least six times who used to date his sister Willow.
“Bristol just reached back and started clocking him, she hit him — reached way back here and caught him right on the chin, I counted at least six times.”
Talking Points Memo reports that Anchorage police confirmed that members of the Palin family were present at the party and the case is still open.
“I heard Sarah Palin scream out, ‘You know who we are, don’t you?'” Thompson said. “It was just like we were on a Jerry Springer episode.”
“The police seemed to show up right after they left, asking people questions and wanting to know what’s going on,” he recalled.
Thompson lost his job because of that interview:
I just spoke to the eyewitness in the #PalinBrawl and he tells me that he’s been fired from his job because of his ABC interview.

Missing in action: Sarah Palin has still not addressed the incident regarding most of her family brawling in front of a home where they were guests, so much so that they were told to leave. [su_csky_ad]

Who did Thompson work for? Are you people implying he worked for the Palins for your own sick reasons?
Anomaly 100 September 12th, 2014 at 9:00 pm
If I knew who he worked for, that information would be included in the post. Now, kindly show me where I suggested that he worked for the Palins. Thanks!
Obewon September 12th, 2014 at 9:18 pm
The company should be renamed ‘McKenna Tea Bagger Paving.’
mallardxx September 12th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
Leaving out who actually fired the guy one might think he worked for the Palins.

Except I have no idea where he worked, with the exception of one blog — which was mentioned in the comments and that’s not confirmed. My ESP is off kilter lately,
BanditBasheert September 12th, 2014 at 11:25 pm
McKenna Paving .. here’s the owners / the McKenna brothers. The ones who FIRED Thompson.
Cheri Laurenza Rossi September 12th, 2014 at 10:24 pm
I read the same article and didn’t think for a second he worked for the Palins.

I have a photo of Sarah Palin with McKenna in a Mustang Cobra at a car show / tried to post it above in my post. Sarah and the McKennas are TIGHT (she’s probably screwed them too like everyone else in Wasilla/Palmer).
Obewon September 12th, 2014 at 9:14 pm
He worked for a concrete company that hosted the fight club party. How much y’all wanna bet they have lucrative GOP government contracts! Via http://www.mediaite.com/tv/palin-family-brawl-witness-gets-fired-for-talking-to-good-morning-america/ “Thompson’s former employers, McKenna Brothers Paving, were the hosts of the party where the brawl took place.”
Johnl.102 September 12th, 2014 at 9:29 pm
The Palin daughter drunk and punching someone in the face is perfectly sane, but reporting on makes someone sick. Is the girl even old enough to be drinking . I know mom don’t care she doesn’t care she has unprotected sex, As a teenager .
But does she let underage drinking go on in the family also. Mom is just full of family values ha!
BanditBasheert September 12th, 2014 at 11:18 pm
She’s been drinking for years / who do you think taught Willdo everything that she knows?
jasperjava September 12th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Not a very good reader, are you. Did you graduate from elementary school?
Sounds like you might be a Palin fan. That would explain a lot.
mallardxx September 12th, 2014 at 10:25 pm
I am a Palin fan. The fact I’m even involved in this childish conversation with you people leaves me to wonder if I should have graduated from ele. school.
Obewon September 12th, 2014 at 10:40 pm
How many Alaska Roadway GOP government contracts did the Palin brawl eyewitnesses former employer receive? Mayor Palin had quite a disgusting reputation for rewarding a lucrative ice rink contract that led to Wasilla’s fiscal insolvency! At the same time her home was built by the same ice-rink builder, State building materials went missing and the Palin’s “No building materials receipts” home was built with “Ice Rink Windows”-Brad Blog Palingate.
Was this firm awarded any contracts by the GOP Chairman’s son who Architected and built the ice rink & Palin home simultaneously? https://www.facebook.com/pages/McKenna-Bros-Paving-Inc/163776963682105 http://www.mckennabrospaving.com/

Youre a Palin fan? I feel sorry for you, having to go through life like that. Never seeming to be able to get the right shoe on the right foot, let alone master the complex task of tying them…
Oh well. Maybe your caregivers can help you. There’s always the option of Velcro closures.

Perhaps it’s her inflatable boobs aka the Belmont Girls? Her roadkill hairpiece? Her addiction to Red Bull and Vodka for breakfast with a chaser of Adderall?

It’s obviously her melodic voice.

Are you sure of that?
Anomaly 100 September 12th, 2014 at 11:26 pm
It’s fine that you *were* a fan of hers, even though she’s spiteful, bitter and vindictive. But now that her whole ‘family values’ thingy has been debunked by a drunken brawl, I have to ask why you think she’d be a worthy POTUS or veep?
So tell me why you’re still a fan.
BanditBasheert September 12th, 2014 at 11:17 pm
Eric Thompson was at the party. He worked (before he was fired for speaking out) for the McKenna Brothers. The party was held at the home of the Klingenmeyers. Drunk Brisdull punched out Klingenmeyer / 6 times / with a right hook before she was shoved away. Evidently both Bristol and Willow (combined together they make Brillow) – were both sashaying around, sh*t faced with sunglasses and Bristol started the fight.
No one said or implied that Eric Thompson worked for the Palins although the Palins are intimately close to the McKenna Brothers. (picture of the two of the cozy in a Shelby Cobra attached).
Track was high as a kite / and of course Bristol had her 6 year old son with her at the party. Classy b*tch that she is.
Anything else you want to know?
Again, the PHOTO is McKenna and Palin – together – she even looks drunk in the picture

Too late, Queen. People are getting tired of you intimidating them. You and your family were seen for who you truly are. You might not see too many invitations in the future.
Obewon September 12th, 2014 at 9:11 pm
What’a great Hillbilly family! Falling down drunk ‘Bristol reached way back and continued to punch the party hosts chin at least 6 times.’
BanditBasheert September 12th, 2014 at 11:30 pm
Wrong / Track (who was not only stoned to the gills, but got into another bar fight later that night) picked a fight with Conner Cleary who was there with his parents. (Ever notice how all the young people in Wasilla/Palmer appear to be drunks by the time they are 18?). That fight broke up and Bristol and Willow took out after the Cleary family (inc mom/dad). Korey Klingenmeyer tried to head them off before a fight started and that’s when Bristol decked him 6 times.
Obewon September 13th, 2014 at 12:01 am

“I am a Palin fan. The fact I’m even involved in this childish conversation with you people leaves me to wonder if I should have graduated from ele. school.” <—- I'm guessing this is why you asked "Where is Bristol?"
Just curious… what is it about her (Sarah) that makes you a fan? What do you think her biggest achievements were? What is her most notable contribution to our country?
Booya Bible September 12th, 2014 at 9:54 pm
America needs family values like these.
Tommy6860 September 12th, 2014 at 11:12 pm
Everything in the media about Sarah Palin just confirms more and more that John McCain is unfit as a US senator. To think this asshat chose this woman to be the next in-line to the CiC. Just looking at her goofy eyes and listen to her indecipherable speech, and look at this image; It certainly is a good reminder of why we no longer use lead in paints anymore.

at least Sara didn’t get busted again for speeding while drunk. Not that it would really matter as she disqualified herself from ever serving as POTUS by Constitutional Standards the first time.

Less than 2 likes per comment, that is not something to brag about. It is probably one of the reasons disqus gives your account a low reputation. Well, that and all the flags and spam.

When your comments originally came in they came in flagged as spam. In addition they were a link only with no comment. These were your first 2 posts here and looked like spam since you put no effort into saying anything and your account holds a low reputation with a near record number of flags and spam warnings. Since then you have submitted a total of ten postings and not a single one has been on topic or contributed anything of value. You are complaining about how bad things are here. Why are you here if you don’t like it? All you are doing is complaining. I am about to ban you for being a nuisance pure and simple. You are just cluttering things up.

It could be you can’t see them (since you don’t mod from disqus) because they came in as spam on the disqus mod board and never got approved. I deleted the comments instead of approving them. Inappropriate off topic spam, IMO.
OHIO GAL September 16th, 2014 at 1:34 pm

I relied to posters regarding Palin with Joe Biden. Both were VP nominees.
