Pulled that out of what orifice????


No, I NEVER saw anyone in here say that....YOU are mistaken.



IF ANYONE'S daughter did EXACTLY what I wrote Bristol did I would have the same opinion.


But maybe YOU approve of this immoral coat-tail riding lazy do-nothing as the epitome of REPUBLICAN/Conservative/Teabagging values.....I guess you do!

I'd like to point out that when Chelsea Clinton was attacked the lefties went crazy and wanted Rush taken off the air... are you denying that or do you just not know what I'm talking about? Now try to type your reply in a normal format, lay off the random capitalizations and maybe we can discuss this like rational people. Is it ok to attack the children of politicians that you hate?

If you have an irrational hate for Sarah Palin then knock yourself out with the hate fest but at what point did the liberal left decide that it was perfectly ok to attack family members and children of politicians they hate? When Chelsea Clinton was attacked the left lost their minds and wanted Rush's head on a stick because he called her a dog, I'm certain some of you were in that group who were offended and wanted Rush taken off the air... Why is this any different?

Does being on a TV show make it ok to attack this girl? If someone on the right openly attacks the Obama daughters you're surely going to support that person's right to speak their mind right?
She's 20! If she wrote a "memoir" about anything, I would question why. And, yes, I think Justin Bieber's biographical movie is just a ludicrous.

Both Bristol's book and Bieber's movie are about making hay while the sun shines. These young people are cash cows right now and they mining the mindless masses for all they're worth.

Then don't buy her book.

At what point does a person go from being a rational non-purchaser to an out of control attacker who isn't satisfied with the simple point that would be made by not buying her book? What does wrong in a person's mind that causes them to attack someone they don't know, someone who hasn't done anything wrong and someone who doesn't affect their life at all?

Coming out as a gay woman while living with a highly conservative religious family? Sure, I'd probably respect that more than a highly conservative religious family who preaches family values and whose daughter gets pregnant at 16...

Envy? Nah, at 16 I had a successful dairy business, no children and my parents didn't thrust me into the national spotlight...so I'd say I had it pretty good.

The only reason people are 'attacking' this girl is because SHE IS PUTTING HERSELF OUT THERE. Do you understand that? You use Chelsea Clinton as an example... she went to a very prestigious college (well, three actually...), graduated, got a good job and got married all while basically staying out of the spotlight. Bristol got pregnant and barely graduated high school.

Bristol is not a child anymore. She can apparently make grown up decisions like having sex and producing a child so now she gets to be treated like an adult.

So basically you agree with how Chelsea lived her life so it's wrong to attack her but you disagree with how Bristol has lived hers so it's ok to attack her? That seems pretty intolerant to me, especially from a group of people who claim to be the champions of tolerance.

If she had pictures in her memoir of her and her lesbian lover, I would buy it, if she does a video with her lesbian lover I'll buy it. If she has a lesbian video with her mom, I'd be first in line to buy it. Her spoken word on paper is useless to me, especially at such a young age. Her mother taught her how to be media ***** which Chelsea Clinton isn't and never was.
Good for Bristol though, her mom has been pulling one of the greatest scams in American history, democrats and republicans can't stop talking about her and when Bristol gets the GOP nomination in 2032, remember you heard it here first.

You assume I'm mad....which is an indication of bad comprehension skills which lead to other problems in comprehending written words.


WHY do YOU repug/Palin worshippers have "hate" so close to the surface ? I don't hate Bristol just because I don't like her or criticize her. Can't you Palin Worshippers EVER just dislike or disagree with someone WITHOUT hating them?



Chelsea Clinton, at 13, was attacked for her looks by adults who meant to be nasty and were, including John McCain(a Republican PIG).

SHE was not attacked or criticized for something she DID.



Can you possibly..possibly try to understand the difference???

Chelsea lived a respectable life, made good choices and didn't use her parents to get famous. She was never on a reality show, she attended prestigious universities and received honors.

As another poster said, mean spirited adult men attached a THIRTEEN year old girl for her looks.

Yes, I disagree with the way Bristol has lived her life, but I'm definitely not attacking her, nor do I hate her. She made some stupid decisions and is no better than any of the other 'celebrities' who are famous for being famous. She's charging money to preach about abstinence after getting knocked up at 16...do you not see anything weird about that?

And I never claimed to be tolerant. Your need to put everyone into categories is silly.
