Unclassy Bristol comments on why she wanted to win !

[saracat]

Notice please, she has no comments on "talent". I guess her message weren't delivered after all. Happy Thankshiving to us all.

Brooke - "Bristol, what would it mean to win tonight?"

Bristol - " It would be like a big middle finger out there to all the people that hate my Mom."

Stay classy Bristol. You really showed ALL of the Palin's true colors and ugly personalities last night. You were really raised well (not).

[wtmusic]

1. Not an ounce of virtue in these people.

Ugh.

[Taverner]

48. They're a bunch of Welfare Queens

Always living off the public dollar - whether through the public sector or with the money we throw at Alaska residents

[roguevalley]

69. she is the mirror of her mom. nothing but malice and a hand out.

[Enthusiast]

85. There simply isn't.

Just like the rest of the right. Not a spec of cereal.

[BurtWorm]

2. I guess all those people gave a big middle finger to you and your Mom!

[Historic NY]

3. "Isn't that special".

[Yeahyeah]

4. Talk about your sense of entitlement.

[madmax]

11. Can you imagine this

wench and the rest of the clan, as The First Family? :eyes:

[MoonRiver]

5. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Can't wait to watch Sarah in the presidential debates! That promises to be an unprecedented hoot! :rofl:

[Ian David]

14. More like the shit doesn't fall far from the bat. n/t

[MessiahRp]

39. Debates mean nothing unfortunately.

Kerry handed Bush his ass in their debates. Bush still got enough votes to steal it.

Jan Brewer had maybe the worst meltdown in debate history and she won somewhat easily.

Too much of the American populace is made up of morons without any sense of reality, history or for that matter, dignity. They think knowledge is elitist.

Rp

[hfojvt]

perhaps too many knowledgeable people

keep straying from the facts. A spoonful of disparagement does not help the medicine go down.

[LibraLiz1973]

71. +1,000

[Enthusiast]

86. Agree.

And the right wing media would just say she won anyway, like they did after the Bush - Gore debates. Bush looked like a complete fool but, somehow, he "won".

[butterfly77]

46. My friends and I

were talking about this yesterday I would love to see the other repubs on the panel on thee attack,can't wait to see her comebacks..

[niyad]

6. did she? win, I mean.

[Pathwalker]

8. No. Jennifer won. Kyle was second. Bristol 3rd.

SHE got the middle finger. :evilgrin:

[Bluenorthwest]

18. she lost

The winner was Jennifer Grey.

[LeftishBrit]

53. So I suppose now the teabaggers will go around demanding Jennifer Grey's birth certificate?

[grace0418]

79. OMG, that made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for that.

[Patiod]

93. +1

[warrior1]

7. Right back atcha

[madmax]

9. Right, as usual Bristol

you and your family, keeping it classy.

Wonderful example of American family values.

[bulloney]

10. Like, she became a contestant on DWTS on talent and not name recognition.

Sorry, Bristol. But if you weren't Sarah Palin's daughter, you would have been just another knocked-up high school dropout.

[MineralMan]

12. An ugly family, the Palins. And it comes from the inside.

[catbyte]

13. I see she inherited the Mean Girl gene

from her classless mother. I'm so glad that her little "show" is tanking so much. Couldn't happen to a nicer person...

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Diane

[Fla Dem]

15. Well you lost, so a great big middle finger to you and your mom. n/t

[joeybee12]

16. Some bastard un-recc'ed this! Here's a rec...I want this on the greatest page

to show people what scum that entire family is.

[felinetta]

17. Sarah probably loved her answer. And don't forget Jenna Bush stuck her tongue out at

a photorapher.  Love Repigs family values.  Such warm and
compassionate people.

[unblock]

21. they actually do value that. they call it "loyalty".

one of the BIG differences between democrats and republicans is that democrats are loyal to all of america and all americans, whereas republicans are loyal to a far more selective group.

in bristol's case, the loyalty to "mom" matters far more than the unclassy insult to the competitors who outperformed her, or the vast majority of americans (and the whole world) who are rightly disgusted that sarah was ever and may again be taken seriously as a major political force.

because the people that they're insulting are OUTSIDE of the selective group they value, they're blind to the rottenness of such insults. they only see it as sticking up for someone INSIDE the selective group. therefore, it actually *IS* warm and compassionate in their twisted worldview.

[donco6]

19. Gracious as ever.

And I've seen horses who danced better.

[Mz Pip]

20. Where did she say this?

I'd love to see the whole interview.

[Pathwalker]

23. On the show after her second dance.

I'm sure there's a replay somewhere.

[Mz Pip]

27. On DWTS?

Geez, the woman has no class.

Everything seems to be about grudges and getting back with the Palin crowd. I don't think I've heard of a more immature display of snark in a long time.

[Pathwalker]

29. She complained about the "haters" all season long.

Always asking her Mama's supporters to vote for her, whining about the "haters". That, and she has all the dancing talent of a Japanese robot.

[DeschutesRiver]

38. Here is a link to more of her pouting comments, claims that the media is at fault

and as if that exaggeration is not enough, the new excuse for not winning is that before the final, she was "slammed" with death threats. She is a carbon copy of Momma Grizzley (who looks a bit pissed off in the article photo). None of them have or are willing to cultivate good character or even take a break from lying/exaggerating. Imagine living in such an immature and paranoid family tribe... or worse, having them "lead" our country. Shudder.

[Lucky 13]

22. LOL!! How is you being able to gyrate your body a big middle finger to people who hate your mom??

It just give us MORE reason to laugh at your mom.

These morons make themselves more and more ridiculous everyday!

[hobbit709]

24. Personally Bristol, I despise your mother more than hate her.

[Erose999]

25. Nobody puts Baby in the corner. Not even Mooselini.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. Exactly! Dirty Dancing is an all-time favorite movie of mine and to see

Jennifer spread her wings again at 50 was a very special and beautiful thing to see.

I also thought it is very cool that Jamie Lee Curtis appears to be her very best friend. She was there for Every performance. Another very cool woman. :)

[catzies]

61. Slightly OT: Ms. JL Curtis is a huge DWTS star & sources say another one of her BFFs,

Melanie Griffith, has been trying desperately to get on the show and it is Jamie Lee who keeps bringing her to the show to get her ON the show.

And now back to the talentless, classless Palins.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

66. I would love to see both Melanie and Antonio on the show!

Be still my heart re Antonio :)

[LibDemAlways]

26. My 87-year-old mom would say

"She wasn't raised right."

Apparently Palin, who strikes me a cartoon character, couldn't be bothered to instill good sportsmanship and graciousness in her offspring because she doesn't know the meaning of either.

[wtmusic]

28. Uh, no Bristol. Your Mom's still stupid. nt

[Xenotime]

30. I'm glad she didn't win. Notice Sarah didn't show her ugly face.

Guess she knew her kid was a failure too.

[saracat]

34. Sarah was signing books not two miles from where I live. I could vomit. She has said she

will NOT do booki signings in NY or CA. Coward. and what a fine way to show "support of you kid by NOT being there on the last night. What trash they all are! This is their version of family values. Funny , staying home and being a Mom is just what Sarah thinks "other women" should do. She and her graceless cluncky daughter have too much "talent" Bleh!

[LibDemAlways]

58. Making money is more important to her than showing up at the finals

to support her daughter. Speaks volumes about her priorities.

[MadMaddie]

77. Sarah always hides from her perceived enemies

Run Sarah Run!

[AnArmyVeteran]

31. I'll say it for the millionth time, NO right wing fanatic can be a practicing Christian!!!

It's impossible to be a conservative extremist and a practicing Christian at the same time. The are exact opposites of each other. Right wingers seem to hate ALL of Jesus' teachings yet they claim to be holy, family values people. No real, practicing Christian could support wars, executions, torture, spying, division, lies, hate, racism, fear and eagerly lap up ever drop of hate-stew fed to them by hate merchants like Beck, Hannity, OReilly and Limblah.

'Conservative Christian' is an oxyMORON. (or is that 'oxymoran'?)

[PearliePoo2]

83. keep saying it Vet

because you are exactly RIGHT.
and thank you for your service. :thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

32. Bristol and Snooki: The Nightmare Begins.

It would be so gloriously awful it just might be art and worthy of watching.

[RZM]

33. Both of my parents have done things that I highly disapprove of

But I still probably would have defended them, especially at Bristol's age or younger. I would like to think I would have done it in a classier manner, but I can't say with certainty that I would have. BTW, would you say that the toddler with Down Syndrome and the nine year old have ugly personalities as well?

I'm telling you folks, cracking on the Palin kids is not the way to go. It might make you feel good, but the only real effect it can have is to gin up sympathy for Sarah. And sometimes sympathy makes the difference in the voting booth.

[saracat]

35. Bristol is a trashy adult. She is no child and is fair game. She has

made no attempt to be a private citizen.

[RZM]

37. She is an adult and you're right, she's technically 'fair game'

But adult or not, she's still Sarah Palin's child and attacking her is still going to benefit Sarah.

Have you folks stopped to think why Sarah Palin has put her family out there in the first place? I'm sure a good part of it has to do with constructing the Sarah Palin brand as a family woman etc. But the more cynical side of me also thinks it's partly a dare. I imagine pollsters know that attacking a politician's family usually helps the politician more than it hurts them. So she has nothing to lose by putting her kids out there, but potentially something to gain if they are attacked and it creates sympathy.

A lot of voters are parents, including of adult children.

[saracat]

42. I understand what you are saying but more and more folks are being turned off by this hypocrisy

and I think it benefits us more than it benefits Palin, so we have to disagree. When folks attacked Chelsea Clinton and Amy Catrer, they were innocent children who had done nothing to deserve it. Bristol has opened her own mouth and displayed the fruits of her upbringing.

I actually defended the Bush twins when folks trashed them because they were just kids doing what kids do. It bears reminding that neither the Clinton's or the Carters set themselves up as parental examples and considered themselves "better parents" than the average. And much as I dislike Dubya, I think the girls turned out fine.The problem with the Palins is not really what they do and say in private life but the fact that they deny others the rights they assume for themselves. They scream invasion of privacy and then film Joel McGinness. They preach morality and celibacy but don't practice it.They preach dedication to the family unit andare absentee parents. The hypocrisy is stunning and Bristol is a living example. Bristol is complaining that Grey used her surgery and played the Patrick Swayze card, in addition to other comments. These people have no class and no humanity.
I also find it very telling that there was no mention of "talent" whatsoever in Bristol's remarks. Apparently, she doesn't feel it necessary to possess any talent to win a dance show.DWTS is all about her mother to her and nothing to do with herself. That is very sad.

[RZM]

54. I agree with some of this, but not all

Perhaps what I'm also reacting to is a larger issue that isn't really about the Palins, but about public perceptions and the culture of celebrity. One problem with people in the public eye is that they are out there to be judged, but IMO, the public usually doesn't have enough good information to make fair judgments about them, particularly regarding character. Sometimes we do have enough information and I'm not placing all of the blame on the public either, because people who put themselves in the public eye know full well what they are getting themselves into.

When it comes to the Palin children, I just don't feel that I know enough about any of them to say much. I've never met them and I don't feel what I have seen is a full enough portrait to make judgments. If you feel the Palins have 'no class and no humanity,' that's your business, but I haven't drawn that conclusion myself. I would have to know a lot more about them to feel comfortable saying that.

Like I said before though, I think the main reason I object to discussing criticizing Sarah's family is that I think it's risky for Democrats to do so. I might be wrong and you might be right. It's also possible it doesn't matter much either way. We'll see I guess.

[astral]

100. "no attempt to be a private citizen?"

What is trashy about her? She is supposed to NOT step up to the plate and do something brave like what she did?

Why do I keep reading this shit?

Fair game, now, for filthy people to stomp her into the ground because not a single one of them would have had the guts to do anything like what she did.

I hope you all are feeling very superior to Bristol Palin right now. It's all you got.

[saracat]

103. "Brave" ? You are kidding , right? Ripping into Jennifer Gray for

her surgery and claiming she played the Patrick Swayze card and whining how unfair it was she had to compete against her is "brave"? Talking about giving people the middle finger for hating your mother while you encourage people to vote for your participation in a talent show for which you have no talent, but are paid $200, 000 to participate is trashy, particularly as you whine all the way to the bank and turn every photo op into a campaign stop for your Mom! You bet I am superior to Bristol. I have a lot more than that poor girl does. I have an education and had better parents than she could imagine and I defended my mother on multiple occasions and with a lot more dignity that Bristol will ever display.

[EOTE]

40. Why do you hate baby jesus?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

So you're just as classy as Palin Jr. and you're lecturing US? Too rich. And yes, Bristol's Down Syndrome child is incredibly classless. Lil' Trig cut me off on I-95 last week then flipped me the bird.

[RZM]

41. I think the operative word here is 'humility'

I said that I would like to think that at 20 I would have defended my parents in a classier manner. I think there's a good chance I would have. But I don't have such a high estimation of myself that I can guarantee that I would do the right thing in any hypothetical situation -- especially at a time when I was still learning how to behave as an adult.

As for the younger children, the OP stated that Bristol 'showed ALL of the Palin's true colors and ugly personalities last night.' All I did was ask if that applied to the youngest children as well. It was meant to be instructive. You see, when you criticize the Palin family as a whole, you're including young children in your criticism. And a lot of people don't like criticism of young children. Even more probably don't like criticism of young children with Down Syndrome. I'm not saying this because I care about the Palin family. I'm saying it because I think this type of criticism can only help Sarah Palin's public image.

And I don't hate baby Jesus. I just make him cry.

[EOTE]

43. No one is so daft as to think the OP was an attack on a Downs Syndrome child.

And Bristol's ridiculously crass behavior AS WELL AS any attempt to point it out does nothing to boost Palin's public image. I would think her extremely low approval numbers bear that out.

I believe the operative word here is "hubris". The Palins have LOADS of it.

[RZM]

45. The Palins have loads of hubris . . .

Does that include Trig?

B-)

[EOTE]

47. Yes, including Trig.

I told you that little punk flipped me off. And before you ask, that also includes any mentally challenged offspring the Palin harpies give birth to in the future.

[saracat]

44. I KNOW I would have defended my parents in a classier manner at 20 because I did so.

But then, I had classier parents! I am sorry for Bristol because she really has been neglected. And I am also sorry for the baby.He has been nothing more than a prop.

[LanternWaste]

55. I would imagine that anyone who inferred a verbal attack...

I would imagine that anyone who inferred a verbal attack on the infant with Down's Syndrome is consciously and actively looking for an insult.

And a funny thing about insults is that they can be found anywhere... even in places where they do not exist.

[RZM]

57. You can read the OP and judge for yourself

Of course I don't think anybody here would mean to insult an infant with Down Syndrome, but nevertheless, the OP did state that Bristol's comment showed the ugly personalities of all of the Palins. And Trig is a Palin. This is what my real beef is here. Even if the OP didn't intend to insult the child, it could certainly be spun and perceived that way. And as you know, spin and perception can go a long way in politics.

Yes I know, this is the internet and it doesn't matter and all that. But I think it's dangerous for Democrats to criticize Palin's family. I really believe it can only help her, so I don't see anything to gain by dong it. Like I said in an earlier post, perhaps this is one of the reasons that she's put her family out there -- to lure her opponents into a trap, since criticizing them has the potential to increase sympathy for her. Cynical? Yes. Effective? Maybe, maybe not. But why risk finding out?

[LanternWaste]

59. Again, I imagine we see what we look for.

Again, I imagine we see what we look for.

[RZM]

62. You're unintentionally backing me up here

You're right, people do sometimes see things that aren't there. But if nobody criticizes the Palin family, there won't be any insults, real or imagined, to be found. Do you think the benefits of such criticism justify the potential risks?

[sabrina 1]

78. The Palins, Bristol and her mother, put themselves out in the public

eye for one reason only, money. As for the OP saying Bristol showed all of the Palin's true colors and ugly personalities last night', she did. I know only Bristol and her mother, so I completely agree. As for the other children, I know nothing about them. I hope they grow up better than big sister and their mother.

Palin has a 28% approval rating in this country. I wouldn't worry too much about her getting any sympathy when it was she who felt the money was worth putting herself and her daughter in the spotlight. That was their choice.

Her daughter's comment shows an ignorance of the important things in life, that I almost feel sorry for her. I'm sure Chelsea Clinton often felt like defending her mother, and father from the viciousness of the press, far more vicious than anything Palin has been subjected to. But she has class, that's the difference.

[Hugabear]

73. She is putting herself in the public eye. She is fair game.

It's not like her mom forced her to go on DWTS. When a "celebrity" like Paris Hilton or one of the Jersey Shore cast does or says something stupid, we comment on that...so why should we treat Bristol any different?

[RainDog]

36. iow - It was all right wing bread and circuses bullshit

because the only talent any of the Palins seem to have is one for promoting themselves, no matter that they are talentless attention-seekers who equate fame with accomplishment.

[hfojvt]

49. I find that to be a very human response

Most people are not gonna be very sweet to people that hate their mom, or their dad, or their brother, or their sister, or their spouse, or their kids, or their nieces and nephews.

How much hate is gonna be in this thread. What true color is gonna be shown here?

[live love laugh]

74. Human maybe--in the Neanderthal sense. Uncivil, unclassy and uncouthe? Also too...nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

50. She also was filmed after a performance muttering under her breath how her haters and her mother's

haters wanted her to lose.

She just didn't get the fact that she had no right being in the finals. The Palins are a delusional lot, propped up by MSM. If MSM started to ignore them, they would all just go away.

[Obamanaut]

56. Her haters didn't do enough to offset the influx of votes from her likers. Based on

that she had every right to be in the finals.

Let the general public in on something like that rather than limit the judging to judges who know what they are doing, and things go awry.

I watched the finals of American Idol a couple of years ago, where Adam Lambert did "We are the champions", and it made my eyes leak. He didn't win.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

63. I think that people were complacent about voting up until the final show. I bet most

got off their asses because of the Spawn's comments and attitude along with baggers voting campaign of her mother's supporters, and decided to do something about it. Well they did. The cream rose to the top. I really feel sorry for was Brandy and she was collateral damage. She was a beautiful dancer.

[Obamanaut]

65. Agree with everything you typed. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

51. Bristol proves the cliche...

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[geardaddy]

60. That family is a whole bunch of walking middle fingers.

:puke:

[SharonAnn]

68. Grifters. Wasilla grifters.

[uppityperson]

64. She makes as little sense as her mother. Is as classy also.

[delightfulstar]

67. She gets it honestly...

Her mother is notorious for having chronic diarrhea of the mouth. I fear for our country's future if Bristol is actually considered a "role model" by any stretch.

[GoCubsGo]

70. Imagine the outrage if Malia Obama said something like that.

Or, Chelsea Clinton, or Amy Carter...

[Enthusiast]

87. Exactly

[Mike Nelson]

72. Sounds like a chip off the old block...

...this "spokeswoman" for abstinence was an idiot the moment she arrived on the public stage. Let's hope there is still time for her to come to her senses. I hear the other Palins are just as piggy.

[GoCubsGo]

105. Don't you mean "chip off the old blockhead"? n/t

[WestSeattle2]

75. Money does NOT buy class or respect. "Trashy" is well

represented in all socio-economic groups.

[MadMaddie]

76. I don't know why I continually keep getting surprised by the

lack of sophistication from this family. Like mother like daughter.

[MrScorpio]

80. It's obvious that living under Sarah Palin's roof has given her this sense of entitlement

Had she not been artificially promoted by the wingers, her ass would have been canned a long time ago.

In case she forgot, SHE WAS IN A DANCE COMPETITION, not some political statement for her mom.

It should have been ALL about little miss Bristol, and we see that according to HER OWN WORDS it wasn't.

When all the boos came out when she "won" over Brandy (Who was a much better dancer), she should have known that the jig was UP!

But like any other delusional, right wing brat, she could never see the writing on the wall.


If she knew any better, she should feel good about ending up at third place... Because, it gives her something that's in common with her mom.




Now there are TWO poor losers in that family.

[pepperbear]

81. which one....veruca salt or violet beauregard? n/t

[Anakin Skywalker]

82. I Told You the Palins Were America's White Trash Family!

[crazyjoe]

84. It makes me uncomfortable when we (not me) attack the children

of politicians we don't like.
speaking of "unclassy"

[Roy Rolling]

90. Yes, but

This is not a "child"---this is an adult on a Reality TV Show who insults the audience. If she wants privacy, PLEEEEZE, crawl back under the rock she slithered out from. Her comments were a calculated political assault meant to get sympathy for her "victim of the media" mother. She is a political hack, not an innocent child of a politician.

[astral]

101. She wasn't insulting the audience.

She was insulting the 'haters' who spew poison words about her for no reason other than they love to hate everything about Sarah Palin including her offspring. She spoke up about it only with that one little sentence, and everybody acts like she stepped out of line by even saying that much.

If the shoe fits you can wear it. It clearly fits the majority of people posting on this topic.

[peace frog]

88. Does anyone expect class from these yahoos?

This is the same family that would like to turn the White House into a boozing, brawling, boinking trailer park. The less we see or hear from them, the better.

[BaltimoreDemocrat]

89. Who gives a rat's a$$?

Ms. Palin, of limited talent by any measure and on the show only because of who her mother is, is quite arrogant in her assumption her winning a contrived, overly dramatic show designed to numb the masses matters to anyone who dislikes her mother for her reactionary politics and frightening religious beliefs. Now, if she won a Nobel prize, well, that's something different...
:nopity:

[stlsaxman]

91. anyone have a youtube link?

[iamjoy]

92. Um Why?

I don't know, I don't watch DWTS, but Jennifer Grey - well, Baby Boomers and Gen Xers saw her move her body in Dirty Dancing (Oh My God, what a great movie ) so either she still has it or we all just have a lot of nostalgia. Anyway, don't athletes often win also? So, it seems DWTS is at least somewhat about talent.

Unlike elections, results of DWTS don't matter, whether it's really about talent or just a big popularity contest the results of that vote count don't really affect our lives.

Face it, Bristol Palin is little different than Kevin Federline or Kim Kardashian. It's like, tell me again, why are you famous?

And now that I've made myself feel and sound old...

[tomp]

94. i maintain that her staying in the contest was rigged.

she should have been booted off many weeks before.

probably republican operatives making robocall votes or maybe abc manipualtion of some sort.

i hate her mother more now. that these dimwits can gain any traction at all in america does not speak well for america. soulless idiots united.

[Javaman]

95. oh bristol cream, since you lost, who gets the finger now?

the trials and tribulations of being a media sideshow.

[The_Commonist]

99. Who is that in your picture...

...giving the middle finger to Bristol?

[Javaman]

104. LOL That's from the 1968 Democratic Convention. :) nt

[fascisthunter]

96. yeah... and because of who your mom is, is why you were selected

you meritless dope

[B Calm]

97. I don't expect much from a WASILLA HILLBILLY

[DonkeyHoTay]

106. Wasillabilly!.... Nice

Makes me think of Dogpatch and its cast of characters.

[pasto76]

98. hey put her in uniform and in charge of prisoners...

and you have another abu ghraib.

people who walk around with that kind of chip on their shoulder are dangerous when they get even an iota of power.

[PearliePoo2]

102. The Palin girls have a nasty mouth and a mean attitude.

Remember the attack they just launched on a kid's own FaceBook page because he DARED to say Ms. WolfKiller's reality series was "failin'"?
They told him to STFU and called him a FAGGOT.
Nice kids you've raised there Sarah.
