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.”
I wonder if it’s some fool CLAIMING to be Bristol and Willow Palin.....imposters? How do we know for sure?
Why in the hell do they have Facebook accounts? They should delete them. End of story.
I have serious doubts about anyone who has been even semi-conscious for the past couple of decades, and still does not recognize the nature and magnitude of this political, cultural, economic war being waged against normal American citizens, day in, day out.
The commie mutant pinhead zombies want you dead. They want your children dead. They want you and your children to suffer mightily until you are all dead.
This is not a simple difference of opinion.
You're right, don't google it, at least not without "Safe Search" turned on.
Here's something I find curiously ironic. There is both a sexual context, and also a competitive/combat context, and in both of them the teabagger is in the dominant role -- indeed, in the competitive/combat context, the teabagger is demonstrating dominance by humiliating his beaten opponent in a particularly impolite manner.
So those Dems and other leftists who use "teabagger" as a pejorative for members of the Tea Party are actually handing them a compliment (of sorts). They are saying the Tea Party is dominant -- successful at humiliating its foes!
But of course, given the sexual context, and the impolite nature of the competitive/combat context, it's very unlikely that the Tea Party will ever embrace that usage. :)
Yup, definitely a tingle for the leftists with such news. I imagine that the media will go into full meltdown and implode when SP announces her run (if she decides to). ‘Flinging sh!t’ is right.
I tried facebook for 6 months or so...I often found myself wondering aloud why I should give a crap about what my facebook friends were up to every 5 min. That, coupled with the privacy issues I gave it up.
Ok, I’ve made the rounds of the Leftist enablers — Schlocker, HuffPuff, the DUmmies, Daily POS — and there’s only one useful, new takeaway ... Nov. 2 finally woke these PDSr’s up to the better-than-50% likelihood of Palin winning in 2012 ...
Fully awake here. Would it even penetrate if I said I understand and believe with every cell in my body exactly what you’re saying? I’m not a Palin hater, not even a Palin dis-liker, but only the semi-conscious won’t see she’s not perfect. My point was, I don’t respect her parenting because I have seen it in action, on stage, on TV, and crazy me, it bothers me. I didn’t say I wouldn’t vote for her. Man. I get it. I just don’t want another six years of this. And if I’m sick of it, it worries me scores of other voters are sick enough of it, she won’t get elected.
so the left doubles down on stupid and goes after Palin’s children again. what’s next? Using Piper’s essay form 4th grade?
these people need to get a freaking life.
oh stuff it.
yeah right. Willow was doing nothing but defending her family. Give it a rest. Facebook is a tool to communicate. The fact it is used for shouting matches by 16 year olds is nothing new. this has been going on sinc e time began.
I really don’t see what the big deal is these two libs sound like absolute aholes. They must get a lot of crap from their classmates and that’s sad so I can totally see why they would lash out like that. But, while I think the Palins are just acting like your average American teens they will need to learn that they will be under constant scrutiny. I’m sure Sarah and Todd will explain that to them.
The real issue here is that the whole Palin family is on the front lines in this war, from the youngest children to the grandparents. Through their experiences, we should be learning the kind of enemy we and all our children will eventually have to face and fight. Martyrdom is for suckers and losers. There is no neutral ground, and every man, woman, and child will have to fight.
The children of millions of other families are already, or soon will be, also engaged in this war. There will be profanity, vicious language, thrown objects, and eventually many, many dead bodies; old, young, and in between; of all sizes, shapes, and colors.
I doubt that parenting skills will be discussed during the intermissions.
Because Bristol and Willow have both publically apologized for this incident.
What’s worse, the Enquirer is ready to publish an article announcing that Willow is pregnant.....yellow journalism? Maybe, but they’ve been right before.

I agree, and I like Palin. However, this next election 2012 is not right time for her to run, because she has a family that has been harrassed, embarrassed and damaged. There should be family counseling in preparation for a run in 2016 or 2020 depending on cirumstances for her and country.
America needs in 2012 a candidate beyond reproach, and who will be able to focus on issues, and not be as polarizing as Bush or Palin...both of whom I really like. This country cannot afford to have Obama win in 2012. NOT Romney, Gingrich or McCain...PLEASE find someone who can stand the scrutiny, speak well, and have a good voting record, and no family history that is ripe for the left media.
Make the media dig for a story on the Conservative side, and Sarah Palin is a good bulldog on the outside, and can stump well for candidates. It is a much better place for her right now, and she has money to wait it out now. Her family like all families with several teens needs some time to be together, and find out how to act in public arena.
Right. No "good parent" has kids who sneak postings onto the computer when they're giving a speech to 30,000 people in Lexington, or flying to a fundraiser in Tallahassee.
< snickering at you >
Here're two clues you can get:
1) Many homely women will not vote for Palin out of feline jealousy or temporary hormonal imbalance.
2) Like she's going to need your vote? Get a life.

I saw a show recently called “Louie K.C.” or some such. He said it this way (paraphrase)
“I would NEVER call a gay person a ‘faggot’ unless he said something totally gay. I mean he could be s*&$^%#& a c*#$, and I wouldn't call him that, but if he stopped and started saying a bunch of faggy things I would tell him “Stop being a fag and go back to s*$&%^# that c*^%.””.
Remember, whip the crink-stick at the ape-boy. There's a good girl.
