Sarah Palin's parents say their family has faced death threats since she rose to prominence and that they sleep with guns as a precaution.

In an interview with BBC's "Newsnight," which examined the former Alaska governor's possible 2012 presidential bid, Chuck and Sally Heath said they fear for their daughter's safety.

"As a mother I do have concerns about her safety and that of the kids... she knows how I feel, that it's risky," Sally Heath, the former vice presidential candidate's mother, told Jackie Long of the BBC.

"A good example is one guy from Pennsylvania," said Chuck Heath, Palin's father. "He sent us and other people copies of a gun he’d bought, copies of a receipt for a gun he bought, copies of a one-way ticket to Anchorage. We kind of laugh it off, we got a restraining order on him, and lo and behold last week he showed up in Anchorage, from Pennsylvania, and fortunately the FBI was on top of it and sent him home.

2. Never happened.

Just yesterday, the FBI issued a statement saying, basically, that Heath just pulled that right out of his ass.

4. It's been a while since high school biology, but how does one sleep with a gun?

I keep mine high enough up on a shelf that the kids can't get it. Once had an incident to test my reaction time to get to my gun, and I discovered I could move pretty fast and with determination when needed.

Is that what the kids are calling half-assed celebrity these days? More like notoriety. These people are all delusional. Oh, and big fat liars too.
