You're just fantasizing.

lol.

I don't know a single person, conservative or otherwise, who has ever put Bristol Palin on a pedestal, or even a foot stool.

You're just making stuff up to make yourself look smart. Or something.

It's not working.

"Viewers were left shocked when sisters Bristol and Willow Palin burst out with laughter when four-year-old Tripp used a homophobic slur. The two women, both daughters of American politician Sarah Palin, burst out laughing when the little boy used the derogatory term during a temper tantrum. Tripp called his aunt Willow a 'f*****', an offensive term more commonly used against homosexuals, during filming of Bristol's docu-series Life's A Tripp.

BO scratches the first lady's every widening rear in public! Really, is THIS news......kids will be kids and if it stays mostly in their adolescent years I can live with it.....don't forget, Rahm Emanuel, questionably the biggest bag-man that got away (Think Blagoevich scandal...who was that 5th man...hmmmmmm?) IS on record for saying, and I quote:

"The Republicans can go f themselves" except he used the f word......former white house chief of staff......and you are worried about Palin's brood? don't cast too many stones my friend when your party lives in a glass house....

Let's see......

Clinton: "depends on what your definition of "is".....is.......yeah, right after his beeeelow job with Monica...yeah, there's a moral compass for ya....this guy couldn't keep his paws off any of them that were vulnerable.....no worries, Monica had a real cameo moment on Barbara Walter's interview....."he was a great kisser"......and somewhere in america, a frying pan went over Bill's head......priceless....

Reverend Right: Reverend....let that word sit on your tongue for a moment.......god damn america! Yep, a sitting Reverend with as much venom and anti-whitey a ghetto could ever hope for...he keeps selling the hate and his constituents keep dropping the cash....cynical beyond measure....


HNIC: Detroit's former Mayor in the 70's as he drove every business out.........and you can now see how well Deetroit is doing......imagine a white guy using that term???

There are plenty of Republicans guilty of similar comments. However, I would have to give the academy award to the Democrats...always full of venom, always full of hate, always full of stupidity....at least the Republicans know how to scam it down a little....

If Palin's 4 year old wants to say something completely incorrect and only if you can prove it, I'm probably not as worried about is a much as when they turn 18.....childish ignorance....don't expect too much from a 4 year old...try working on your guy and his abyssmal record with the economy.......

Emanuel's comment was way, way out of bounds for such a highly educated.....ryhmes with "trick"

Caleb, you totally forgot about JoeBlowBiden telling Obama (on national, nay, worldwide TV, no less) that OCare is a big f****** deal.

The fact that, in this situation, the parent is associated with a group of people that screams about family values just makes her extra deserving.
I think its NONE of your business what a parent teaches their child.

Not sure which is sadder. Me posting here about it, or the fact that what a 4 year old has said is now on page 8?

Fact of life....little kids curse without realizing what it means....get over it.

You'd like such discussions to stay hidden away wouldn't you? The hypocrisy of the conservative family values crowd can be difficult to stomach sometimes, I know.



For what are you blaming that poor child? He can't help if the adults around him think that teaching, whether implicitly or explicity, slurs to a child is appropriate. Poor baby. No child, especially of that age, should know language of hate and ignorance.
Your getting anxious over nothing............he shouldn't have said it, but I'm sure this will be the least of words the child will learn, even if he goes to the grocery store. Get a Grip!!!!


HMMM, guess it's true conservatives have problems also.......... Bristol never claimed she was perfect and those who throw stones usually have their problems also.

You can't have it both ways.
Actually us liberals believe in leading by example. It is obvious the four year old learned that word from repetitive use by those around him.

Now this was the most intelligent post in the thread........guess it's hard for some adults to remember the words that came out of their mouths when young.

For some as they get older their reminded how perfect they were.

Got to wonder about those that judge children at such a young age.........

And I believe most (all?) the criticism here is aimed at Bristol and not at her little boy. And, in case you haven't noticed, Bristol is an adult who CHOOSES to keep her name and face in the spotlight. She is no longer a kid and is open to criticism because she ASKS for it by continuing to try to make herself relevant (just like her mother does).

When the president and first lady star in a reality show and have their daughters' names in the show's
title then maybe you can make the comparison. Until then, it's apples and oranges.
We're discussing her child, who is 4. Younger than Obama's..........by much
