In case you haven't heard about it yet, Sarah Palin's 16 year old daughter Willow went on a friend's Facebook page (screenshots here) and began retaliating on the boy for making a status update about Caribou Barbie's 'reality' TV show that read "Sarah Palin's Alaska is failing soo hard right now" by telling the boy who made the status update (and another boy who agreed with him) that he was a faggot, that he was fat as hell, and a low-life-loser. Big sister Bristol, of Dancing With Mommy's Puritannical Little Slut/going raw dog with Levi Johnston fame initiated the fray by insisting that the boy was only talking shit - because of course the show couldn't possibly be a giant nut-filled turd on merit and worthy of criticism and/or mockery, now could it.
Both girls are old enough to know that this kind of nonsense is stupid, but I for one am glad it happened. Not because they ripped on another kid, but because it's just another brand new example of what a total lack of parenting is happening between Sarah Palin and her children. That's pretty fucking important when you consider what a hypocritical opportunistic shetbag Sarah Palin is for just a moment. She's not had a single word to say in any sort of press release or interview on this matter, not one fucking syllable. She won't, either - because in the extreme right-wing teabagger world these people live in, you're impervious to criticism and nothing you do is ever wrong. You're only ever surrounded by people who agree with you so you're never challenged on anything and no one holds you accountable for your bullshit, and the bullshit is LEGION.
It's pretty amazing how you can operate consistently on two completely different standards and yet not a single one of your beloved fans ever gets hip to this hypocrisy, which to me can only mean that those who adore this walking bag of hair must be more stupid than she is. Nothing else makes sense, and no one with a fully functioning brain can extol the greatness of anyone this phony without an arsenal of sarcasm fueling them.
Let's not make this about Bristol and/or Willow Palin's choice of words and behavior in employing them because that's only an issue if you're comparing it to the current climate of awareness that has been drawn over the string of bullying and suicide incidents that have become such a common reality in this country - and rightly so - because it's clear that once again a lack of parenting has lead to something stupid and unnecessary. Bristol and Willow Palin are assholes to be sure, but they're no real threat to anyone. Before you try to give me shit for calling these young girls assholes, one is 20 and has a child - the other is old enough to secure employment and operate a 2,000 lb. carcass maker on wheels, so FUCK OFF. The real problem here is their mother's complete lack of public response on her offspring's behavior when a considerable response would be expected of someone who wishes to play word police for others. Case in point, Rahm Emanuel and the "R" word. If you recall back to February of this year, the then Obama Administration Chief of Staff was overheard ranting angrily about Democrats (in a strategy session over budget issues I believe) being "fucking retarded". This deeply offended Bible Spice to the point that she took to her Facebook notes page and put out this gem:
" Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking. [...]
As my friend in North Andover says, “This isn’t about politics; it’s about decency. I am not speaking as a political figure but as a parent and as an everyday American wanting my child to grow up in a country free from mindless prejudice and discrimination, free from gratuitous insults of people who are ostensibly smart enough to know better..."
It seems that her delicate sensibilities (funny how a self professed 'Mama Grizzly/Pit Bull Hockey Mom/Barracuda' even HAS those, but I digress) were offended because her youngest child, Trig, was born with Down's Syndrome and Rahm's use of the word was hitting below the belt. Before I wrap this part of this post up, let me be clear on something here. Trig Palin is cognitively disabled - Sarah Palin is fucking retarded.
She laments her family's lack of privacy and makes a stink about leaving her kids out of the spotlight, yet she's whoring the entire clan on one reality show while the oldest daughter is cha-cha-ing on another. She goes to great pains to bust Levi Johnston's balls at every opportunity for having the nerve to upstage her in exploiting the fuck out of 15 minutes of fame, taking -0- responsibility for the fact that she's the one who threw him on that stage and into that spotlight to begin with. You're not exactly the shining pinnacle of Christian virtue you want people to think you are when EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO is out of self interest.
But it gets worse. Much, much worse.
Enter GOProud, the newest organization of self professed conservative homosexuals who wish to align themselves with mainstream right wing groups and politicians that couldn't give a shit less about them or their agenda.
I don't mean to imply here that people shouldn't be allowed to have their own views that may cut against the grain some. That's fine. While I personally don't know that I have any genuine conservative positions, I can understand where some would and I raise no objection to that. What I DO have an objection to is any group or organization stupid enough to defend someone who, like Sarah Palin, would deny them any and all of their civil rights if it were in her power to do so. Yet that's what they've done in jumping into the Palin girls' fray by dismissing any issue taken with Bristol & Willow's brand of response as simply a cheap shot at their mother in an effort "...to destroy her by an angry, misogynistic Left":
GOProud on the Willow Palin “Controversy”
Statement of Tammy Bruce – Chair of the GOProud Advisory Council
(Los Angeles, CA) – “Willow Palin is a 16 year old girl who, like all 16 year olds is going to make mistakes and say things she shouldn’t have. This, however, has nothing to do with Willow Palin or the substance of what she said on Facebook. The ‘slur’ used here is one you could hear on the streets of West Hollywood or Chelsea every day of the week. Apparently, it’s only a ‘homophobic slur’ when it comes from the daughter of a conservative female leader. Make no mistake; this is all about destroying Sarah Palin by any means necessary.
“The angry misogynistic left and their accomplices in the main stream media have been unable to take down Governor Palin – no matter how hard they have tried. Unable to take her down directly they now have decided to try to hurt her by attacking the most important thing in her life – her family.
“Any person, gay or straight, who participates in this cheap political smear should be ashamed of themselves.”
Oh, you motherfuckers...
Yes, it's the people calling Palin on her bullshit that should be ashamed of themselves. This coming from the very people who love the hand that beats them, even when that hand is attached to those who will exploit them for a vote but wouldn't take a wet shit in their mouths if they were seconds away from death by dehydration.
Yeah, I just fucking said that.
Your post is right on target when it comes to Palin & family. They have a much different set of rules for everyone else other than the ones they live by, which is, anything goes for the Palin family. You mention how she spoke about Rahm and said that if anyone used the "N" word, everyone would be up in arms. We certainly were when Dr. Laura said it, yet Palin came to her defense claiming that she lost her 1st amendment rights. For someone with an alleged degree in journalism, she apparently knows nothing about the 1st amendment.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to Bristol & Willow, I would have thought that with the last two years in the spotlight they would be much more circumspect in what they said and did. With each passing day, the Palins' become bolder in their excoriation of anyone who dares to question them. I'm so sick of this woman, her hypocrisy, her vehement hatred of those whom she doesn't consider "rill 'murikens", and how thin-skinned she is when anyone dares to criticize her. Her co-workers said she spent much of her time in office after the 2008 campaign perusing the internet and newspapers for negative articles about herself and speaking out against her detractors. Hasn't she seen what our President has gone through, much of it due to her disgusting lies about him? If she were to run for President, she'd get a good idea of what she would face as President in terms of criticism but until you actually occupy the office, you'll never fully appreciate how bad it will be. Palin could not handle being Governor, complained about the commute, the press, not spending time with her family and yet now she thinks the American people want her to run the country? She can't take care of her own family, including leaving her toddler special needs child to campaign for others the day after he had surgery! Of course the fact that she spent the day after that in the New York Jets owners' box with her husband was probably far more helpful than being at her son's side. I doubt he recognizes her, which certainly reinforces her lie that she wanted to spend more time with her family.
The best thing for this country would be for her to take her family and disappear. Isn't there a private island somewhere, without cellphone & internet service, that she could live on for the rest of her miserable life?
Awesome fucking Rant!!! there were so many tweets in there...it took me a long time to read, lol!
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head!
I will have to bookmark your blog.
Ya spoke it good. Enjoyed reading. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
ReplyDeleteConservatives like to 'blame the parents' only when it is convenient it seems.
Bravo! Your friend Brad is spot-on with this description of Sarah Palin and her family. Low class is the NICEST thing I can say about the whole bunch.
ReplyDeleteI am conservative (not a Pailin fan). I blame the parents. My children have been taught to be tolerant and respectful of all people and never use such language. You have to drill it into them and teach them to respect all people.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is sooo great! Down with the dirty little Palin trollops! Gah, their just so...stupid and obnoxious it's infuriating. I completely agree with your friend's rant and more power to him for making it. Palins making a big deal out of the word retarded, they know not the real meaning apparently, because retarded means hindered, nothing more. They named their mentally challenged child Trig, which is a bit of an insult to the poor kid, hopefully he'll understand that when he gets older. Willow never should have made such cruel comments especially over something so silly. But because of their unending stupidity, i can sit back and be bloody glad that i am not that kind of idiotic. And down with the GOProud an oxymoron if i ever saw one. Everything the GLBT community has built up over the years is the liberal and democrats' work, definitely not the GOP's, i do wish those people would see what being GOProud is going to do to themselves and the nation as a whole.
