When I posted about this years nominees for Turkey of the Year someone suggested that Eric Thompson should be hero of the year. I decided to start a contest for that as well.
This year's Santa's of the year are:
Eric Thompson
Nik Wallenda (Chicago tightrope walker)
Zach Roper (grandson of the late Fred Phelps who left his grandfather's cult)

Looking for a great stocking stuffer for that Palin hater in your life or one for yourself?
Eric Thompson who was unjustly fired for speaking the truth about Sarah Palin is selling T-shirts and hoodies commemorating the 2014 Palin Brawl. 10% of the proceeds go to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. You can order them here
Two months have now since passed since the Brawl and John McCain weighs in
Is Korey Klingenmeyer going to press charges or not?
John McCain makes his first public remarks on the Brawl, from Talking Points Memo
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) came to the defense of his former running mate, Sarah Palin, on Friday, more than a month after she and her family were involved in a drunken, bloody altercation at a house party in Alaska.
During an interview with Phoenix television station KTVK, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee said he wasn't excusing the brawl but went on to blast the media's coverage of it.
"I think these family affairs are -- I don't know much of the details about it," McCain told the TV station. "Things happen in people's families and I'm not excusing it, I'm not condemning it."
The brawl occurred in September at a house party in Anchorage that was attended by Palin and several members of her family. Witnesses and a police report on the incident said Palin's husband and some of their adult children ended up physically fighting with other party guests. The former vice presidential nominee, meanwhile, was seen yelling profanities during the melee, according to at least one account.
Palin has since called the incident "humiliating," although she and her daughter have criticized the news coverage of it.
McCain echoed that criticism on Friday.
"I just know that the kind of coverage that this got, in my view, is in keeping with the kind of coverage the liberals have accorded to Sarah Palin for a number of years, which in my view, is biased and unfair and sometimes unacceptable," McCain told KTVK.
Of course John is going to be diplomatic about it. Hoo-hah knows all his secrets. I'm sure Cindy and Meghan McCain had a good raucous laugh over the brawl however.
And yes John things are going to happen in families. Did you ever get in a drunken brawl with your dad and brother. I bet so, I hear John "Jack" McCain Jr. was quite the drunken sailor.
You know I did have some sympathy for John once, back in 2000 when Karl Rove with the blessing of Dumbya spread a nasty lie about John and Cindy's adopted daughter Bridget being John's illegitimate daughter with a prostitute. That sympathy died when he sold his soul for Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin likes two things...brawling and hoo-haahing!
The above picture will be forever synonymous with the infamous 2014 Palin family brawkl.
I read and re-read the police report a couple of times. I have had a busy several days and haven't had time to write out a response but now I am and my thoughts are the following:
What happened to the two married women Track and his friend "Steve" were harassing?
No one in the report corroborated that Bristol was called a cunt. Liar liar pants on fire Bristol! Also Bristol was too drunk to even remember hitting Korey.
About 15 people confirmed that Bristol hit Korey Klingemeyer several times with her fists. Korey was a real gentleman and showed a lot of restraint.
A total of three fights that night...Bristol and Korey, Track and Todd, and Track, Willow, and Korey. Course that is gonna happen when you are drunk.
It's pretty bad when you are so drunk you think you are in Eagle River (a small town) and not the booming metropolis of Anchorage. Looking at you Trackie.
Pretty disappointing the mainstream media made the Palins look like they were the victims. Bullshit, they showed up at that party with every intention of starting shit. BTW they were not even invited.
Nice to see Eric Thompson has a new job.
I noticed a lot of things missing. Sarah was a witness but her statement was not in the report. Neither was Todd's. Tripp was at the party too and he wasn't in the report. The report seemed disjointed.
Speaking of Tripp I hope the custody judge got a real copy of the police report which details more of Sarah screaming "don't you know who I am". She also tried to hide Track in the limo. Bristol also made a beeline for the limo too. Seems her purse was in there. What were you hiding in the purse Butthole?
Who was taking care of Trig that night?
Not long after the report came out Sarah posted this
UPDATE: Hey, knock it off. I posted a cool, inspiring video to brighten your day and to honor our vets. I didn't make the video nor did I title it. This honored vet is introduced as ARMY; that's why I captioned it "Hoohah!" Amazing how something fun and positive can be turned negative by either folks looking for something to be hatin' on or those just not paying attention. Now, don't make me pull a mama's chewing out on you! Enjoy the video! Hoohah!
Sounds a little bitchy to me. By the Sarah Skanky Hoohah is a derogatory name for a vagina.
The whole world is in agreement with the other partygoers "FUCK THE PALINS!"
A month has now passed since the Palin brawl
No report
No charges
No pics
No video
Nothing.
This is bullshit.
These are the assholes that fired Eric Thompson

As you all know Matt and Marc Kenna were Eric Thompson's bosses. They unjustly fired Eric for speaking to the media about the brawl.
Matt and Marc are close to the Palins.
In fact the McKennas and Palins are so close I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they got paving contracts from the city of Wasilla while she was mayor:
Still, Ms. Palin has many supporters. As a two-term mayor she paved roads and built an ice rink, and as governor she has pushed through higher taxes on the oil companies that dominate one-third of the state’s economy.
I wonder if that is why she pushed so hard for the Bridge to Nowhere.
Boycott the McKennas and hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook.
A lot of fallout from the Palin brawl
Eric Thompson who was a witness to to the brawl was fired for going to GMA.
A man who said he witnessed an epic fistfight last weekend at an Anchorage, Alaska party that allegedly included Sarah Palin's family was reportedly fired from his job after telling ABC's "Good Morning America" what he saw.
Eric Thompson, who said he was one of some 70 guests at the rowdy party, told ABC that he saw Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol land several punches on a man who once dated her 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."
Anchorage police confirmed to TPM that members of the Palin family were indeed present at the party. A spokeswoman did not say whether they got involved in the fight, as the case was still open.
"I heard Sarah Palin scream out, 'You know who we are, don't you?'" Thompson told ABC. "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 added.
Apparently Eric has retained a lawyer. Good luck Eric and Thank YOU for telling the truth.
Eric has also set up a GOFundMe account. You can make a donation here.
Eric's wife Roberta has also made a statement
The melees at that night's party have led to an ongoing police investigation and reports that Sarah Palin's husband and son were injured while tussling with other party guests before the family was kicked out of the house.
"It was just so shocking," Roberta Thompson told TPM.
She mostly confirmed what her husband told multiple news outlets last week, saying that the two of them were right next to each other during the incident. But she provided her own take on how the events unfolded, including a portion that she said involved the eldest Palin daughter, Bristol Palin, and the owner of the house, Korey Klingenmeyer.
"What I saw was two girls run past and run towards Korey," Roberta Thompson said. "And then I just saw Bristol Palin start punching him in the face."
"It was quite, quite violent," she added.
She said Klingenmeyer was clearly upset about what was happening but maintained his composure.
"She kept punching him and then he just said, you know, 'You need to go,'" Thompson said.
Klingenmeyer escorted the Palins around the corner from there, Thompson said, and she did not see what happened after that. Other news reports of the incident have said another physical altercation involving members of the Palin family broke out after that. One report cited an anonymous source who said Sarah Palin was "nearly crawling on top of people" and shouting profanities during the later altercation.
Roberta Thompson didn't see Sarah Palin directly involved in any of the fights but she did notice the former Alaska governor's red, white and blue sneakers.
"I try not to pay too much attention because she doesn't mean anything to me," Thompson said. "I'm not a big fan."
She said she wishes she took out her cell phone to capture all the mayhem.
"I didn't know what was going on at all," Thompson said. "I just, if, if I would've known a little bit more, I probably would've taken my phone out."
She also expressed her frustration about the police investigation and that no charges have been filed. She said she, her husband and a number of other party guests spoke to investigators that night.
"I just think when people assault other people that they should be arrested," she said. "Or at least charged. Especially when there's that many eyewitnesses. I don't think just because you're a Palin that you should not have to suffer the same consequences as any other person."
Mudflats has the real scoop on the brawl:
Most of the details of the drunken rumpus are known at this point, and take but a few minutes of googling and following links, but I did talk to my own source who had a couple things to add to the growing body of first person accounts. Sarah and Todd Palin were invited to a birthday party for Mark and Matt McKenna, twin brothers who own McKenna’s Paving, a successful business in Anchorage. The party was held at an address in the South Anchorage community of Oceanview. I lived in Oceanview once upon a time. It’s nice. There are tree-lined streets, and lilac bushes, and lots of little cul-de-sacs where kids ride bikes in circles and play hopscotch. Nothing much happens there, and that’s why people like it. When people throw parties, they are usually subdued back yard affairs. I never saw the police once in the five years I lived there. And if I lived there still, I might be sitting on some sweet cell phone video right now which I could share with you. Wouldn’t that have been something… But, alas.
The Palins arrived at the party, but not just Sarah and Todd who were the only actual invitees from the clan – the whole fan-damnily and some other tagalong friends from Wasilla turned up in a stretch Hummer limo. Because, of course they did. The party was an adult and relaxed event, with most guests at least in their 30s. Reports have come in that Track got into a fight with an ex-boyfriend of Willow’s. But according to my source, the initial fight started when Track and his buddy were aggressively pursuing… how shall I put this… “romantic relations” with some female guests. They were allegedly explicit and crude in their depictions of what they’d like to do with and to the ladies, expressing a desire to “bend them over on the lawn,” according to my source. Apparently the lawn was large enough to include places one could be “bent over.”
Hey. You guys wanted this… don’t look at me.
As Track and his companion were wooing the ladies with honeyed words, certain individuals took exception to it – namely the husbands of the women in question, whose presence right there with their wives the whole time was no deterrant to our confident and ambitious Casanovas from the Mat-Su.
Track did not fare well in the ensuing confrontation with the spouse. The irate husband punched Track with the full force of his annoyance, and the young Palin ended up “spread eagle lying on the grass.” You could say someone did end up bent over on the lawn, but not in the way he first envisioned.
Track’s buddies then got involved in the fracas to defend the honor of their fallen comrade, others followed, and soon Bristol Palin began to punch the host in the face for reasons we do not fully understand. Repeatedly. Then Todd showed up and joined the scrum, ending up with a bloody nose out of the deal. Did I mention that it happened to be his 50th birthday? He probably won’t forget the big 5-Ohhhh.
Then Sarah shrieked, “Don’t you know who I am?” and other such things making clear the importance of the Palins, and the lack of importance of the non-Palins to whom she was speaking.
She then apparently tried to fling herself on top of the giant dog pile into the middle of the melée.
If there’s one thing the Palin’s have learned from the last six years it’s that the darned media is ruthless, and every little thing you do is scrutinized, so you keep your nose clean, and walk on eggshells. Oh, and “keep the children out of it.” Don’t forget that one.
After tiring of being punched in the face, our host informed the Palins it was time for them to go home. Bristol’s young son Tripp was apparently sleeping in the back of the Hummer limo at the time, blissfully unaware of intoxicated mommy’s raging fists of fury.
The fight ended up involving about 20 people, but eventually the police arrived, and the marauders piled into their limo and headed north to the wild lands from whence they came. But not before Track ripped his shirt off and stood in the road giving the one finger salute to departing guests. Ok, I kind of loved that part.
“Alcohol may have been a factor,” said the police report filed later.
The day after the incident occurred, Sarah tried to do damage control and got on Twitter claiming “I was traveling yesterday, so I’m posting Todd’s 50th birthday greeting a day late.” If by (air quotes) “traveling” she meant sitting in the back of a Hummer stretch limo sitting next to Todd and his bleeding nose, with her shirtless drunken son and his randy friends, her street fighting daughter and the rest of the intoxicated hoard, then yeah… she was “traveling.”
It has also been reported Track suffered from four broken ribs and a busted tooth and Todd's nose was bloodied.
Sarah also went on Hannity on September 11, bashed Obama and apologizes but not for the brawl:
Since the story broke Sarah has been on FB a few times to pay homage to the Star Spangled banner and show pictures of herself coming out of Yoga. Eww!
Willow's ex-boyfriend Conner Cleary had this to say on Twitter:
