Just amazing.

Palin staged a media meltdown this week when she found out author Joe McGinniss moved in next door while he worked on a book about her. Palin smeared McGinniss as a “creepy,” “bizarre,” would-be pedophile lurking around he property and peering through her windows. Lots of Palin's right-wing media pals joined in the smear campaign, labeling McGinniss a “stalker” who was invading her privacy.

This was Sean Hannity hyping the McGinniss threat:

Every citizen has the right ot some level of privacy. We're talking about human decency. We're talking about morality. As a parent I'm sure yo are concerned, what are these guy's intentions here?

But as I noted yesterday, who used to live in the house next to Palin? Recovering drug addicts and alcoholics, that's who. But did she ever complain about them intruding her privacy or posing a threat to her children. I suspected she had not.

Today, the WSJ confirms that fact [emphasis added]:

Until 2007, the house operated as a way station for recovering drug addicts. Catherine Taylor, who inherited the house decades ago, said the Palins never complained about the recovering drug addicts and ex-cons who lived next door.

This seems to completely undercut Palin's hateful attack on the 69-year-old McGinniss and her claim that he poses a unique threat to her.
