Willow Palin's homophobic slurs reflect on Sarah Palin's parenting – or lack thereof – talk show host Joy Behar has suggested.
Willow, the 16-year-old daughter of the former Alaska governor, attacked a former classmate, named Tre, on Sunday.
“Sarah Palin's Alaska, is failing so hard right now,” Tre wrote on Facebook during the premiere of the reality series.
Which prompted Willow to respond “Haha your so gay” and “Your such a faggot.”
Willow and her sister, Bristol, offered a halfhearted apology, saying that they shouldn't have reacted to negative comments.
Behar criticized the incident with openly gay comedian Judy Gold, legendary talk show host Dick Cavett and In Touch Weekly Senior Editor Erika Vetrini on HLN's the Joy Behar Show.
“Their camp is saying she [Willow] doesn't use this language, this is new. I don't believe that, she's 16-years-old. This is the way she speaks,” Vetrini said. “And when you hear that your child is speaking this way, it's your responsibility as a parent to inform that's not the proper way to talk.”
Behar agreed, adding that her use of the word faggot was “beneath contempt.” (The video is embedded in the right panel of this page.)
Gay GOP group GOProud saw things differently, saying that such words are only homophobic “when it comes from the daughter of a conservative leader.”
“Make no mistake; this is about destroying Sarah Palin by any means necessary,” the group said in a statement.
While the politician turned conservative celebrity has previously criticized the use of racist and anti-disability comments, she has yet to speak out on her daughter's homophobic remarks.
Go sit in the corner with your Dunce cap, Joy.
Its only ok to call Tea Partiers faggots. What a hypocrite.
Pray for America
joy behar is a faggot
Dick Cavett? Was he the first or second Darrin? ;-)
Even children know homosexuality is Queer..
Yes.
Yeah, and Joy Behar attacks on anyone sane reflect on...Joy Behar. Woah! Who knew?
LOLFOADJOY
My wife used to work at a high school, trust me, these kids are mostly to dumb to understand what “striker” means on a matchbook.
Are ya getting what I'm laying down dog...?
i love to see the audio of it, but I do recall her using the word bitch. Obviously sexual slurs is okay
All the government school indoctrination in the world doesn’t stop kids from getting creeped out by homosexuality. It’s natural to get creeped out by homosexuality.
Another useless idiot who should be banned from FR along with Megan McCain and Bill Maher.
Behar is now picking fights with teenage girls. What’s next - beating up ten year old kids?
...as long as they are used against conservatives.
Funny really. I haven’t watched television but in passing for decades. My wife watches the damned thing. Last I saw of Dick Cavett was some show he was being interviewed in the early ‘90’s, and he looked dead then.
I too am surprised to read that he’s still alive.
Algore's son was a drug addict. What say you Joy?
How many times a day does she use the name teabagger? Same thing.
Pray for America
When I was a child, a “fag” was a cigarette. Homosexuals were indeed known as “queer”.
I can’t even find Willow on Facebook.
