(AP Photo/Al Grillo) The Palins can’t be happy about Mercede Johnston’s Palin-bashing blog…and now a source from their camp is insisting it’s all part of an anti-Palin conspiracy. “Mercede was put up by Jesse Griffin to do this blog. He is a Palin hater,” a source tells Radar. Griffin, who sometimes goes by “Gryphen,” is the creator of The Immoral Minority, the blog that famously posted the Palin divorce rumors.
