Palin lies about daughter’s use of gay slur
Edited on Mon Nov-29-10 03:08 PM by Ian David
Sarah Palin is forgetful with the truth.

Remember the recent Palin Facebook drama? Sixteen year old Willow Palin called someone a faggot.

In Mama Palin’s version, her child used a “bad word” only after being provoked by “very, very hateful things about the family and….mean things about her little brother Trig.”

This would be a great story if it were related to the truth. The youngest Palin was never mentioned in the Facebook conversation; the gay slur was typed after someone offered a mild critique of Palin’s reality show. In the world/mind of Palin not liking her show equals saying “hateful things.” By the way, I’ll grant her point about leaving her kids be.

Typical right wing rewrite of history...facts be damned...
If you read the things they post on chat boards, you can see that they have a completely alternate reality. Facts from solid sources cannot shake them from the beliefs they cling to.

2. If she wants her kids left alone, she should keep them off face book, reality shows and interviews.
Not to mention keeping them off the campaign trail as supporting characters. My comment to her, put on your big girl shoes, sweetie, you started this. You use them as props, they mouth off in public, we get to talk about that.

5. On her last show WITH Bristol on it, she says that this is a chance for Bristol to get away from it
all. Of course this is after all of the interviews and magazine covers.

Yep, she gets away from it all by being on TV. Then does Dancing With the Stars.

Bristol Palin= adult, fair game.

the other daughter, still a juvenile, but since the hate speech used by her is out there, Palin should have condemned the use of it by her daughter.

4. to repeat my other post
It would be news if Grifterella actually told the truth for once.

she lies about something every time she opens her piehole-which unfortunately is way too often.

8. It's crazy how thin-skinned she is
You'd think the Mama Grizzley would be a bit tougher.

9. Yeah, because being told your mom's show sucks is instant justification
Which also qualify as "very very hateful things".

God this woman is DUMB.

10. IT's a shame she doesn't realize we all know how foolish she really is.

11. She doesn't truly take any responsibility or show remorse for what had happened.
And if the mother has gone through life feeling superior and entitled instead of embracing a sense of accepting diversity, the kids learn the example from her to also not be accepting of others different from them.

It is quite telling that Sarah and Willow's apologies were miniscule. Sarah didn't even apologize for her blatant racism during Election 2008 and now while in the limelight. Since, the mom probably uses that language and feels no remorse about it, the daughter probably grows up without any indication how truly hurtful the utterance of such slurs really are. Sadly, they probably don't care.
