I didn’t resort to name calling. And in this case, I was defending Bristol Palin, not her mother. Bristol Palin has not done one thing to elicit the hatred that’s been directed at her. She’s a fine young lady who would make any parent proud. Conservatives, esp. at FR, claim to be for freedom and liberty but let someone like Bristol do something out of the ordinary and all hell comes crashing down on her. It’s my belief that those who attack her do so because they are embarrassed and are too much of cowards to defend her honor to their liberal friends. They don’t want to be bothered.
I bestow neither honor nor scorn on her. But like all the palin fans said when she took Levi back - “she’s an adult, she can do whatever she wants”. Yes, I agree, and as an adult, she has chosen to put herself in the public eye. Aside from DWTS, she’s given lots of interviews, including this one apparently to E!, which is a cheesy paparazzi outfit. She makes money for it, great. But there is no reason whatsoever for anyone, conservative or otherwise, to feel some obligation to defend her honor. As an adult, she sinks or swims by her actions and words. Just like every other adult kid of a politician.
