THIS IS A FAGGOT.

Nobody is saying it's excusable... what's ridiculous about this is people somehow view this as making Palin not qualified. I'm sorry, I guess everyone on here was perfect parents! Nobody on HERE gave a crap when Bush's daughters were drinking the sauce.
We all know you are no Sarah Palin fan but I hate to break this to you but this type of conversation goes on all over the Internet and cell phone texting and yes XBOX Live these days. I know because I have a normal 16 year old son. Just shows Sarah Palin’s family is just like most families in this country. Yours may be different.
That being said, after arguing that people should leave her kids alone, Palin puts them on TV. I don't understand why. It can only lead to bad stuff...like what's happening now. YOu'd think, after the last two years, the kids would have been educated as to how to deal with people saying negative things about their mother and family. But apparently not. Plus, I don't know about you guys, but that Piper didn't look like she was so happy in the show I saw, and I thought it was weird when she called her mother, SARAH. Again, these are things we shouldn't have to know and I don't care WHAT anyone here says...all of this is a reflection of Sarah and her choices and decisions.
I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread. SARAH IS CHOOSING TO PUT HER FAMILY ON TV..if she didn't know this would happen, or if she and Todd didn't prepare her young child for this, than she has nobody to blame but herself. Let me ask you something..as a Christian Mother trying to raise a moral young woman...what would you think if she wrote things like that on a public venue?
THIS IS A FAGGOT.
Excuse me, who have I given a pass to? And even if I did, which I don't think I did, is it SOMEBODY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT? I have to admit, I have a different standard for a Republican candidate for the office of President of the United States than a Hollywood bimbo. SUE ME. But, again, since you're accusing me of this, tell me who I've given a pass to. I'll be standing by.

This stuff is mild compared to what one will find on DU.
The one contrary example I can cite is “Little People, Big World”. It is informative, the family is interesting, and being on TV does not appear to have hurt them in any appreciable manner.
They also don’t appear to get special treatment because they are on TV, so maybe that’s a difference.
TMZ supplied proof, I didn’t see it though.
Palin’s kids are spunky punkins.
I love their spirit.
They’re loyal to the core, like their mama grizzly.
If they were the children of Democrats, you’d call them spoiled, unmannered brats. And you know it.
Dem children would never be scrutinized like this, as YOU well know.
What you call bratty behavior, I call normal growth.
As Dr. Laura says, life is a “sloppy journey.”
It’s incredible the lengths some of you will go to protect Sarah Palin. It feels like what the Dems did for someone named Barack Obama. NOW, before you get all steamy and pissy, I am not comparing Obama and Palin...I am comparing the people who follow with blind faith, when these candidates are just HUMAN BEINGS with faults and some of these faults are not good for a candidate for President of the United States. I don’t think she’s going to run anyway. Someone not even on our radar will emerge, that is my prediction. Sarah has a great place on the Conservative Stage..just not President..THAT IS MY OPINION.
Seems YOU’RE going to ‘great lengths’ to use the Palin kids’ normal kid behavior to paint her as unfit.
That’s pretty ‘pissy’, IMHO.
Will Sarah run? Who knows?
She and Todd are raising rously teens amidst a backdrop of impossible expectations. They will never measure up to your standards and why should they?
They’ve opened their home to the world.
What you see is what you get ~ transparent ~ whether you think they should or not.
Those who’ve raised teens recently know it’s a challenge these days more than ever, with opportunities like never before for them to be tempted, taunted and used. Right under our noses.
Life and experience are the ultimate teachers.
The Palins are giving us a whole lot more than just a view of Alaska.
They’re offering America a view of ourselves, and these discussions, like this thread, are very helpful.
