LOL, your insistence (and others like you) that we hate Bristol is your way of trying to put importance where it doesn't exist. Bristol is simply not an important person. Nothing you or your party members can say will make it so. If you feel she has something of import to say, its a free world, buy the book and immerse yourself in it. lolol.
Hate is a pretty strong emotion, its not something I feel for people I don't even know.
Since I was a child, I have watched soap operas, the same ones that my Mother and Grandmother watched. Fiction, ridiculous plot lines, unbelievable stories...As I grew up, I was fascinated to see that soap operas are not confined to day time TV...The Palin family is the best soap opera yet. They are like a car accident, you can't resist turning your head to watch the collision.

While I am a Democrat, I have to state the obvious...These soap opera goings on, are not confined to one party. I find them just as humorous when they are found within the Democratic party. No one group has a corner on stupid.

If she does, then fantastic, good for her. Education is the way to go.

I can't even begin to believe that you are that obtuse!

Of course I forget where I am at times...

Sit in a room and write???Until they got her and killed her.

What was she going to do, make money from the suffering of her family???No, that is what the daughters of right-wing talking heads do, after having done nothing worth mentioning.[/quote]
Don't get your panties in a wad, I do not care one way or another about Bristol. My only issue is that I have yet to see anything she has done at her young age to be writing about, but go ahead and buy it her book it is your money to waste as you see fit and I am sure there will be plenty of pictures for you to look at.

I am staggered that someone could compare Ann Frank and Bristol Palin...

From what I understand, Anne Frank didn't set out to write a book, she simply kept a journal that was found and published long after her death.

Can you really compare the diversity of being captive because your Jewish heritage and waiting to be put to death with Bristol Palin's life?? People who use the media to enrich their lives the way Palin and her family do, are SAD people. Its also very SAD that your partisan blinders won't allow you to see this.

I disagree, she is another valiant example of you can be single mom and rich as a result. Just like Murphy Brown, and Rachel of Friends.

One just wonders if all the same ridicule from the tolerant ones would be there if nancy pelosi's, lesbian grandaughter decided to write a book about her experience of coming out and having an abortion at an early age. Me thinks the left would be praising her bravery.

Do you really think Chelsea Clinton would have married a millionaire investment banker and attended Stanford and Oxford? Let's be real, Chelsea Clinton has lived a life of extreme privilege and you can't deny that one bit.
I'm not denying that Chelsea Clinton led a life of privilege...but look at what she did with her life compared with Bristol...

Chelsea: Goes to Stanford, Oxford AND Columbia Universities
Bristol: Knocked up as a young teen, goes on to preach abstinence

Chelsea: Works for well known global business management company and sits on the board of charities
Bristol: Goes on reality TV show

Hmmm... which of them would I want my daughter to emulate

Sure, Chelsea Clinton could have stayed 'white trash', but instead she used her opportunities to better herself. Seems to me Bristol is using hers to simply make money.

Before you thrust your tongue firmly into your cheek, you might want to reread some of the posts from the right side of the isle. The Anne Frank one was particularly heartwarming.
