It looks like Karl Rove has unleashed the Romneybots already.

The Huffington Post reported Tuesday that 16-year-old Willow Palin “unloaded on [a] student” and “lashed out at multiple others” during a Facebook wall post war. But Palin was not the only Facebook user to throw out scathing insults.
Willow Palin is under immense media scrutiny and being dubbed “homophobic” by Gawker, a website that has made clear its unfavorable view of the Palin family, for describing one former schoolmate as “so gay” and a “faggot.”
TMZ obtained screenshots yesterday of the Facebook debate, which began when a Facebook user and former classmate of the Palin girls named Tre posted a status update that said, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska, is soo failing hard right now.” Willow Palin responded, “Don’t watch it dumb shit” and Bristol Palin wrote, “You’re running your mouth just to talk shit .”
Tre replied with, “Willow, don’t make me count to three” and a boy name Matt wrote, “not as fat as Bristol … The only program I enjoyed from your family is Nailin’ Palin.”
It is around this point Willow jumped in to criticize those “friends” lashing out at her and her family, calling one, Matt, “s0 gay” and another, Tre, a “faggot.”
Tre went on to call Willow “hella ignorant” and say, “Your mom’s show sucks, just get over it. I’ll post whatever the f*ck I want about it on MY Facebook….& sorry Bristol, we can’ all live fail lives because you got pregnant when you were 17ha we all can’t get lucky and have our mom’s be the gov. and you getting on talk shows because your pre-marital sex.”
Toward the end of the spat, Matt wrote, directed at Bristol Palin, “B*tch if I remember right you were grabbin my a** in wrestling practice…I know I dont have a kid, maybe because I know what a f*cking condom is.”
The news outlets that have written about this story have attributed anti-gay views and bigotry to Willow Palin, a minor, but none have questioned Facebook user Matt’s comments calling the Palin daughters a slur for a prostitute.
Mario Ruiz, vice president of media relations at The Huffington Post, wrote in an e-mail to The Daily Caller, “Huffpost exercises caution when reporting on minors. In the case of the widely-reported remarks made by Willow Palin on her Facebook page, HuffPost editors considered Palin’s age as well as the story’s newsworthiness, in addition to her public profile, including her on-screen participation in a reality show, ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska,’ before deciding to cover and link to TMZ’s story.”
In January 2009, Tina Wells wrote a Huffington Post column condemning the dolls being made of Sasha and Malia Obama. Wells said of the Obama daughters, “They did not ask for the attention and shouldn’t have to maintain an image provided without their, or their parents’, approval…For the most part, President and Mrs. Obama have kept the girls out of the media’s reach, and a situation like this totally violates and exploits them.”
Lots of ...ahem....cough...”concern” on this thread....
A words war on the facebook pages of one of Sarah Palin’s daughters and her schoolmates? Is this REALLY considered news?.................................. For the Left it is a tingle, any little thing on SP they can inflate into a big issue is Good News for them. This is nothing, wait till SP says she’s in the running, then the Left will be flinging sh!t like bombs on Berlin in WW II. The language I see on Facebook from teenagers is a lot of potty mouth. Really nothing that should make Headline News. But, it happens to be Palin’s daughter, so, let it rip.
“Parents first priority is their kids Everything else comes second.”
Sometimes just doing what you have to do to keep food on the table and a roof over your heads takes all your time and energy.
I agree. Why not just...I don’t know, GET OFF FACEBOOK for a start?
Most of my family is on that thing, and I finally got one after years of pestering. What a flipping waste of time, IMO.
Ok, I'll go with that.
“GET OFF FACEBOOK for a start?”
Absolutely. Especially given their mother’s situation.
Sounds good in theory.
Yeah, that is what I thought until I went to Dictionary.com. Here is what they say:
intense hatred or fear of homosexuals or homosexuality
I do not hate homosexuals, but the word “or” is in that description. I do HATE homosexuality. I hate sin. I understand that God HATES sin, and homosexuality is pretty clearly spelled out as a sin in the bible.
That means Christians are, by definition, homophobic. And that is a good thing.
Gawker is run by two foreigner faggots, Nick Denton and Remy Stern so no one should be surprised at their gay rage PDS hysteria.
As much as I would love to support Sarah for president, this is just one more reason I have very serious doubts. It DOES matter how she parents. They have been in the public eye long enough for those girls, at their age, to project a better public face. Language like that does not endear me to them. It’s like the whole family is just an inch away from wigging out. When is it going to happen? Piper is cute as heck, but she is extremely willful and will follow the way of Bristol and Willow. I have no problem with the tv show and I want to love Sarah, but I’m just really sick of them and their extremely bad choices. And I have to wonder how many others just like me, conservative to my core, are feeling the same way.
Agree. Dont think the Palins can use that excuse though.
“Bristol and her sister are probably fed up with what’s being said about their entire family”.
True...but they need to conduct themselves with grace and integrity for the sake of their mother.
Turning the other cheek isn’t easy when someone is attacking those you love and care about,,but that’s exactly what these girls should have done.
Sarah should take a page from Michele Bachmann’s playbook. The latter is super cautious about what she says and does in public so as not to break any ethics rules. I doubt that any of her kids do or say things that might embarrass their mother.
They are a terrific family.
I agree with you, indoor girl, and am not afraid to say that I hope Cuda doesn’t run.
If she does, I believe that we can plan on watching President Clinton(no, not that one) or President Bambi for four more years.
Good gosh.
This discussion is really ridiculous.
Every kid knows that “faggot” is just a synonym for “poopyhead.”
You are sooooooooooooo behind the times. These kids are doing all this by the infamous blackberry. I see my younger relatives sending FB messages from school, the bus stop, shopping ... so far, every place but church. I frankly don’t know why parents are buying the kids blackberries.
A foul mouth in public is not only encouraged but welcomed on mjsbigblog. But, if you dare criticize the ugly, fat a** on her liberal bias, she will suspend you.
She lives with delusions of grandeur that she is someone important in society because she blogs about AI, DWTS, and Glee. And, of course, she is the nazi police if you dare disagree with her liberal views.
IMHO*, Facebook is more trouble than it’s worth.
As the Mom, Sarah should lay down the law that no one in the family use or access Facebook for anything.
This would mean that Sarah would have to “give up” her Facebook account. No biggie. I’m sure and of the blogging sites would welcome her and her traffic with open arms.
* Please bear in mind that I’m a curmudgeon.
Sorry, but those girls are stigmatizing themselves as trash.
No facebook for my kids. No google, no gmail, no youtube, no yahoo, no chat, either.
We have a proxy web server with a whitelist of web sites and our own mail server.
All email entering and exiting the house is copied to my account.
With nine children, there’s no other way to restrict or monitor their internet activity, other than forbidding it altogether and pulling the plug.
