really? I don’t get this fascination with this family. I think her coming back at Olbermann is classless and, frankly. immature. This argument is the kind of argument we use in high school..which..she basically still is. I don’t know, my friend, we are on way opposite sides when it comes to the Palin mystique.
Tell me please, what’s the difference between Bristol and Megan McCain? Both famous for doing nothing but being the children of a politician. Both not too bright...both making alot of money off of their name...so why don’t the people here in FR stand up for Megan McCain like they do for Bristol? They applaud Bristol for making the money while she can...why not applaud Megan McCain? Because Bristol says what they want to hear? I just don’t like hypocrisy.
Because Bristol is responding to a never ending series of attacks. Megan is attacking.
Some are just practicing what they preach, Hildy. They don’t think it’s appropriate to pay any mind to the adult children of politicians, so they don’t comment.
Some just think Megan’s a bigger idiot than Bristol could ever be.
I don’t like hypocrisy either...does anyone? But it’s a special vice in the eyes of the young and/or liberal, and they tend to see it everywhere, filtering out all other explanations. Just sayin!
If your guy/gal cant’ stand on their own merit - but you feel the need to denigrate the Palins = then your candidate ain't strong enough to run in the first place.
You really don’t see the difference between someone who defends themself, and someone who does nothing but attack her own (supposed) side? The hypocrite is McCain, for pretending to be a conservative while only attacking conservatives. Bristol does nothing of the kind.
The two aren’t even close to comparable. Bristol obviously recognizes that she’s a flawed person - and we can like her for that. McCain, like her father, enjoys the smell of her own farts. You need to get a little perspective.
Meghan McCain is an attack dog, while Bristol responded to an attack by the vile Olberman. That’s the difference and it’s a huge one.
There are big differences between them, Meghan McCain is like you, mean, bitter, petty, liberal, pro-abortion, and pro-Romney, Bristol Palin is a sweet young girl that is pro-life, and a nice person.

Romney has had to battle crap like this from day one. He’s a warrior..and the more he fights, the more I like him.

I am not for special rights, but I support anyone to live the life they want to live..just not force it on me. I am pro choice, I hate abortion, but I don’t see how it can be outlawed now...it is not the issue I care the most about. Anything else you want to know? I live in Arizona.

I think it's not only funny, but the classy manner in which she did it is an example of how to stand up to frauds like Olbermann.
She won this round. Olby lost it when he announced Bristol as "the worst person in the world" making a fool of himself. She raised the stakes and took the pot, elevating herself in a good way.
It’s all about the fame these days. I bet you a strong majority of teens and twentysomethings would rather be famous than talented. And why not? It’s not like you see productive members of society lauded anywhere but Chamber of Commerce meetings. The dregs of humanity own our TV screens and often the bookshelves. And they seem to be pretty well-off as a result. Bristol Palin’s celebrity is merely a symptom of the disease. But I don’t fault her for bashing Olbermann back—it keeps the fame going, and the reality tv dollars, for an otherwise no-education, no-talent kid, rolling in.
Bristol was defending herself. If you can’t see the difference probably not much hope for you....I’m gonna guess when Romney starts swirling the bowl in 2012 you’ll come on FR and post something akin to “I’m gonna support Osamabama over Palin”.
From what I've read here, your comments are exactly that of which you are accusing her.
Good grief...she's a conservative, megan is not. FR is a conservative web site.
I agree. I am so tired of hearing about the Palin family soap opera. If SP wants to look presidential, she will have to tell her family to shut up and start ignoring the silly comments that others make. This constant sniping is so juvenile, and that includes Barbara Bush.
Don’t we have enough real problems to deal with?
“I think her coming back at Olbermann is classless and, frankly. immature. This argument is the kind of argument we use in high school.”
And Olberman’s “worst person in the world” shtick does not even rise to your rating of a “high school” argument. It’s so 6th grade.
The McCain cow is an over-privileged, whining, imbecilic princess who instigates negative situations. Bristol is the recipient of situations created by over-privileged, whining inbecilic princesses — and moronic TV commentators.
Hildy... ya gotta think things through. The good Lord gave you a brain. Logic is your friend.
