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.
Yeah Joy-less and YOUR slurs reflect directly on YOU...
Thanks for the tip, noob. Here’s a tip for you: don’t try to be a smartass, you’re having enough trouble as a dumbass.
Really? It doesn’t bother you that a 16 year old girl calls people “fu*ker”? A girl who was allegedly raise in a good Christian household by a woman who everyone praises for her parenting (god knows why)?
Thank you!! That is more offensive than “faggot’ or “gay’.
Where are my manners?
I almost forgot that I should defer to forum etiquette and automatically add 100 IQ points for seniority. My bad, Professor.
No one has mentioned that the boy Willow responded to was actually taunting her by posting, “Saral Palin’s Alaska is so failing” or something like that.
I hesitate to enter the fray on this, but I think all of us would be surprised to see and hear the language used by some of the young people we know. I know I was when I came across my godson’s very open website. He’s 19 but his mother would die if she knew what was on there. Another friend’s son’s fb page is accessible to me by way of his sister’s. He’s young and in the Army and he uses language that would make a sailor blush. He’s also a Baptist preacher’s kid. His parents are wonderful people as is my godson’s mother. His father is deceased. Anyway at some point the kids become responsible for their own life. As a parent we do the best we can and pray for the rest.
Behar - FAILED teacher, FAILED comedianne... what makes this nasal, non-consonent pronouncing, ( “I have a maystahhhhh’s degee” ), menal midget think she’s now a political genius?
She is supremely annoying, but deserves o be pitied and/or ignored.

Further, I clearly remember that if ANYONE said or wrote ANYTHING even REMOTELY negative about dear little Chelsea, the lib-dims SHRIEKED about it - bloody murder.
Bottom line is - these are young people - calling someone a poorly thought out name in the heat of passion (defending your family from a lib-dim personal attack) is hardy unforgivable and in no way reflects on Sarah & Todd’s parenting skills.
Personally I am in awe of Todd’s self discipline - being the man he is, I’m sure he’s have loved to kick Schmitt’s butt during the campaign, and the creep that renter the house next doo as well.
faggot?...maybe yes, maybe no.
She IS a “forget”.
In a couple of years, even fewer people who have any idea of who she is now will know who she is then.
At any rate, we all know that people like you are just looking for anything to call the Palin`s on, keep your hypocrisy to yourself
