We talk to Shannyn Moore, the Alaskan blogger Sarah Palin threatened to sure for "defamation" along with the NYT, HuffPost, Washington Post and MSNBC. Moore says she's a "private citizen" and when Governor Palin named her, she put a civilian in the cross-hairs. Unlike a NYT Reporter, she doesn't have a big paper defending her against lawsuits. And unlike Politicians, she can't call just ring the security detail when she gets threatening, ugly notes. She says she's gotten up to a thousand hate emails since Governor Palin named her. She reads us some of the "tamer" ones.
