In one recording, Shawn Christy of McAdoo, Pa., tells Palin's lawyer: "You want to play games, you wanna play little court games, well play games, now come on .. Come on! Let's play games as far as you want it to go on!"
The recordings have been submitted with a motion by attorney John Tiemessen asking a state magistrate in Alaska to deny a request to dissolve a restraining order against Christy.
The motion says Christy's father, Craig Christy, also has made multiple calls to his office. One of the calls is included in the filing.
"There is really not sufficient punctuation on a standard keyboard to express the seething, spitting, splenic, paranoid, bat-guano crazy rage that is encapsulated on the audio," Tiemessen wrote in the document filed late Tuesday. "None of these calls advance resolution of this matter. They only reinforce that the Christies are a disturbed, obsessed and delusional set of individuals who can not be trusted to behave in a minimally socially acceptable manner on the telephone."
The court papers say the Christys should be ordered to communicate with Tiemessen by letter only. The Christys do not have an attorney.
The restraining order against Shawn Christy was extended in May for Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a potential Republican presidential candidate. Magistrate Jonathon Lack also issued a restraining order against Craig Christy, who was accused of barraging Palin's parents with antagonizing telephone messages.
Shawn Christy disputes involvement in a letter threatening Palin's teenage daughter Willow that was submitted as evidence against him earlier this year.
The letter, consisting of cut-and-paste words, says that if Palin didn't announce by the non-existent date of April 31 that she would not run for office, "you will be cleaning Willows brain cells off your clothes." It is signed "Hollow Point" and mailed from southeastern Pennsylvania, which the Christys say is nowhere near McAdoo. They also say the handwriting on the envelope is nothing like Shawn Christy's, who submitted copies of the letter and envelope, along with a letter he wrote to Palin in the past to compare hand writing.
"I demand evidence be submitted to the United States Secret Service for further investigation, to prove my innocence, and I demand a retrial," Shawn Christy wrote in his request.
His mother, Karen Christy, told The Associated Press that the phone calls to Tiemessen reflect the deep frustration the family feels over the letter her son is accused of sending and their inability to find who has the original. In one of the recordings, Tiemessen said he sent the original to the Anchorage office of the FBI, but declined to identify what agent had it, saying he didn't know. The FBI won't confirm possession of the letter, Karen Christy said. She believes the letter weighed heavily in extension of the restraining order against her son.
"No one has yet to prove that Shawn wrote that letter and no one has been able to produce the original letter," she said. "Until something is proven that Shawn did it, I don't see how they can hold that against him."
Craig Christy just mailed a request to get the restraining order against him resolved as well, according to Karen Christy.
Tiemessen told the AP in an email that after the court's May decision, "Karen Christy promised that her family would not contact us anymore." That promise was short-lived, Tiemessen said.
"The Christys claim that they just want to be left alone," he said. "They have the power to make that happen. The fact that they continue on this self-destructive path suggests an unfortunate and potentially dangerous alternative desire."
Palin and a friend, Kristan Cole, originally obtained restraining orders against Shawn Christy last year, stating in court documents that he threatened them, said he was buying a one-way ticket to Alaska and sent a receipt for a gun purchase. Christy flew to Alaska on Palin's February birthday this year and stayed just one day in Anchorage -- about 40 miles from Palin's hometown of Wasilla -- before going back to Pennsylvania. The visit was monitored by authorities.
Palin also has said she feared Christy's parents because they believe she had a sexting relationship with the teen two years ago.
The protective order for Cole was not extended, although she is covered by the restraining orders against Shawn and Craig Christy. Palin family members also are covered.
Shawn Christy has said the threats were "stupid pranks" and that he deals with complications from Lyme disease.
He also has acknowledged sending threatening messages in 2009 to President Barack Obama, and to Republican Sen. John McCain, who chose Palin as his running mate in the presidential race the previous year. Christy was apprehended by authorities in Washington, D.C., two years ago. At the request of the Secret Service, he underwent a psychiatric evaluation, which concluded Christy had a sense of grandiosity that "could turn somewhat paranoid," according to court papers.
