I really wish Mr. Palin would put Levi out of our misery.
MSNBC defending Palin vs. Levi's smears
The leftist MSM doesn't do this out of any love for Palin. I think they realize that Levi is more a liability to their credibility than any benefit of using this tool any further would bring. Some libs I know, who otherwise disagree with anything Palin stands for, expressed sympathy for her as a person, not at least because of this ridiculous character assasination attempts.
Levi the Turd is 0% credible and 100% loathsome.

Levi is trashy scum, and that’s perfectly obvious to people all across the political spectrum. The burning question is why, if Sarah Palin is such a devoted mother, she didn’t notice that Levi was trashy scum until it was way too late. Sure, no parent can totally control who their teenage daughter gets knocked up by, but Sarah was carrying on during the campaign about how Levi and Bristol were very much in love and had been planning to get married even before the oops pregnancy. By that time, Levi and Bristol had been “dating” for many months, and Sarah should certainly have known that he was emphatically NOT marriage material. She ended up heavily promoting him and giving him credibility, and since he’s trashy scum, he has predictably proceeded to milk that for all its worth. Hopefully the udder has just about run dry, and he’ll soon drop off the media radar for good, only to reappear in occasional brief yucky blips like Tonya Harding.

You may have a relatively normal family, and nevertheless a hostile witness could probably have a hayday with it.
Thats probably one of the toughest things about going into public life, and one of the main reasons people would hesitate or refuse. Your life and your family are going to be spread all over the tabloids and every foible or failing, mistakes, tragedies, all your cellulite and crazy uncles are going to be Enquirer material for the edification of the masses at the grocery store checkout line.
Your whole life will get distorted, exagerated, blown out of proportion and mocked publicly just so somebody can fill some air-time or fill a few inches of newsprint. Nothing you can do about it.
Because her daughter was pregnant to this nut and Sarah was obviously too classy to be in front of crowds trashing her daughter’s then fiancee’. What the heck was she supposed to say back then?
No, this is all on Levi. It’s his backstabbing, lying and whoring himself. And trashing his child’s grandparents.
Actually, that MSNBC Nora O’Donnell package is the same one that first aired on NBC’s Today Show.
The not-ready-for-prime-time MSNBC line up of Schultz, Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow, all of whom are certifiably insane, are on board with anything that bashes Palin, including the VF Levi load of lies.
Which is why I didn’t mention MSNBC in my post.

Track is due back from Iraq this month. Levi should be afraid... very afraid.

Plus, the vile, backstabbing trashing of the Johnston clan didn’t start until the split-up. But GS you are right that he was a POS all along.
Except if you are a Liberal Democrat.
Meant of course the trashing BY the Johnston clan.
“No comment, it’s a private family matter” would have been a heck of a lot better. And parading him across the stage at the convention was inexcusable (and there are more people than just Sarah who should be taking the rap for that — McCain shouldn’t have allowed it, even if Sarah wanted it).
{The burning question is why, if Sarah Palin is such a devoted mother, she didn’t notice that Levi was trashy scum until it was way too late}
Perhaps Todd, Sarah, and Bristol had the vain hope that Levi would change for the better with the arrival of the baby. Bristol and Levi maintained the relationship for a few months after the birth. By that time, they could have seen Levi refusing to change for the better and thefore caused the breakup.
So far, the Palin camp has not issued a rebuttal to the Vanity Fair piece. No comment is probably the best response.
And had he not appeared, the anti-Palin brigade would be outraged that he was being "secreted away" to avoid embarrassment. A no-win situation to be sure.
At the time embracing him was better than hiding he and the daughter away. That would have only brought on MORE speculation.
Hindsight is 20/20 you know and I guess Sarah should have gazed into a crystal ball and known that the father of her grandchild was going to do Vanity Fair hit pieces on the family, not marry her daughter, but alas she didn’t./s
And I’m sure Bristol thought she was in love with him at the time. Maybe Sarah should have embarrassed her daughter even more by publicly ignoring the whole thing. Not that the media would let her do that.
Yes, he was a scumbag all along. But teenagers will do want they want to do. Unless you lock them up. So, Sarah should have known, McCain should have known...I prefer to place the blame squarely on the little ratbag.
No the question is why do people who hate people continue to repeat this canard?
It has been stated many times that she and Todd tried to keep them apart and Levi (in one of his many changing stories) has even whined about how Sarah tried to take Bristol to Juno at one point.
