Recently, a left wing commentator named Keith Olbermann attacked me for being a spokesperson for abstinence education and for being an Ambassador for the Candies Foundation, which promotes teen pregnancy awareness and prevention education. He went so far as to call me "the worst person" he knows, apparently, for my efforts to educate teenagers about the real world risks of premarital sex.
Accusing me of hypocrisy is by now, an old canard. What Mr. Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with insincere incredulity. Mr. Olbermann fails to understand that in order to have credibility as a spokesperson, it sometimes takes a person who has made mistakes. Parents warn their children about the mistakes they made so they are not repeated. Former gang members travel to schools to educate teenagers about the risks of gang life. Recovered addicts lecture to others about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse. And yes, a teen mother talks about the benefits of preventing teen pregnancy.
I have never claimed to be perfect. If that makes me the "worst person in the world" to Mr. Olbermann, then I must apologize for not being absolutely faultless like he undoubtedly must be.
To Mr. Olbermann let me say this: you can attack me all you want. But you will not stop me from getting my message out about teen pregnancy prevention. And one day, if you ever have a daughter, you may change your mind about me.
Bristol Palin
She ignores her critics and does her own thing? Are you sure about that...lol.
I shower them with praise for getting their act together also. For example, my husband just reached his 18th year of sobriety. I think that is a real accomplishment. I divorced him and it took him 2 1/2 years to sober up. Remarried two years later.
Good for him!
It’s a good thing she doesn’t like the limelight that much...
ROFL.
Sarah will run against Hillary.
Hillary is hate incarnate.
Hillary's army of screeching droolers are trained, organized, rewarded, programmed, medicated, programmed hate incarnate.
After 20 years of this exact same thing, what on earth is not to comprehend?
Awesome and you betcha, that’s an accomplishment on both your parts. Many blessings, dear friend!!
So I guess you disagree with her message too!
Idiot..
WooHoo Bristol! Grate job!
Spit...
That was my first thought, also, But then I took into account who her mother is and decided that she has probably herd the term used often.
No, it’s more akin to Lyle Alzado warning people about steriods before he died.
Not equivalizing, I just hate bad analogies.
onyx, that was an excellent article, especially considering where it was published. Amer. Spec.!
A Momma Grizzly is born?
Amazing, given the source, but I have saved it. Good information and the summary is excellent. Thanks for reading and for telling me your opinion. Mine jives with yours.
Ok I’ll bite, how is her consequence similar to Alzado’s consequence of death? Are you saying that she was “punished with a child”? If anything she’s benefited from it with little consequence, ala Alex Rodriguez.
Bristol the Pistol and Olberman is a filthy troll.
To Olberdork: How’s it feel to get totally owned by a teenager? LOL!
Let’s see, he’s 51 and hasn’t been married as far as I can tell. He once had a hot reporter girl friend but they’re no longer together. The odds of him having a daughter are getting slimmer every day.
