Palin daughters are threatened, taunted in Facebook war
Daily Caller ^ | 11/18/2010 | Laura Donovan

Posted on 11/18/2010 12:33:43 PM PST by markomalley

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.”

Y’know, that “teabagger” thing bugs me. It’s pretty apparent that people are using it in some sort of sexual reference, but my imagination is apparently not broad enough to know what it means in that context. And no, I’m not googling it. I don’t want to know.

Sometimes ignorance really IS bliss.

On a related noted, when I was 19 I somehow picked up the word “dildo” as the equivalent of “dope” and used it quite a bit until someone told me what it meant - about a year after I started saying it.

If that’s a real exchange (appears to be from the TMZ screenshots, unless someone is impersonating the Palin girls) then young Willow and Bristol are really foolish to be getting into online flame wars with jerks. What is Willow thinking (ok she’s not) throwing around 4-letter words that will be there forever? She’s something of a public figure whether she wants to be or not, especially once she engages in Facebook flame wars over her mom’s show.

I understand and sympathize with wanting to defend one’s mom and family against the jackals, but it does the Palin cause (not to mention the conservative cause) no good at all to have the Palin girls throwing F and S words around online just b/c some teen dorks were mean.

"I know I dont have a kid, maybe because I know what a f*cking condom is.”

It's just going to be a matter of time before this stupid twit ends with an STD or getting someone pregnant.

The Palins have no one to blame but themselves for letting Willow attend public schools, let alone interact and flame with scum like this.

"homo-nazis need to get a life"

Exactly the opposite of the correct admonishment.

Bristol and her sister are probably fed up with what’s being said about their entire family.

Why is Mom and Dad not paying closer attention to what is going on in their kids lives.

Parents first priority is their kids Everything else comes second.

Here’s a better one.

DeFriend everyone on the page and set it to private.
I have 10 friends on FB. Anyone else who tries to “friend” me is denied.

Well said. Sarah should sit the kids down, despite some of them being over 18, and remind them (for the umpteenth time) of the EXTRA-ordinary scrutinary on everything they all do because of who Mom is, and who she could be in 2012.

Homo means pertainging to humans as in Homonid. Homo also means sameness as in homosexual or homoginizes. Phob means fear of. If you are a homophobe you are afraid of humans or are afraid of things that are the same. The Gaystapo is using language as a weapon against us. They should leave our language alone and stick to packing fudge.

Very disappointing news, if true. Smutty language from the daughters isn’t helpful.

They have time to sodomize the language because, not having children and having really good jobs, they have the time and the money to fiddle about with this kind of thing.
