A heckler who got into a heated exchange with Bristol Palin at a Southern California bar and restaurant last week has apologized for the incident.
Palin had just finished riding a mechanical bull at the Saddle Ranch & Chop House when Stephen Hanks shouted, "Do you ride Levi like that? Your mother's a whore."

"Having had an opportunity to view the camera footage of the incident this past Thursday ... , I have come to the conclusion that no matter what my feelings are towards Sarah Palin, I should not have expressed them towards her daughter, Bristol Palin," Hanks said in a statement released by his attorney Tuesday.
"I am very passionate about politics, and believe in equality for all Americans," Hanks continued. "I expressed my feelings in an improper manner in the heat of the moment, and allowed my emotions to get the better of me."

A statement from Hanks' attorney, Michael Gulden, denied any connection to the TV show.
"Mr. Hanks would like to clarify that, to his knowledge, this incident was not 'set up' for Bristol Palin's forthcoming reality show, as has been suggested in various media reports," Gulden said." In fact Mr. Hanks was not even aware that cameras were filming the exchange."

He still deserves a nose job!
Sniveling Sack Of Crap Alert!
Being passionate about equality is no excuse for being a complete jerk, a fool, and a coward.
What a bold-faced lie! Bristol was surrounded by cameramen — the only way Hanks could miss that, would be because he was blinded by hatred.
But you must carry through with the suit. Or it will look like a piranha feeding frenzy.

Huh. Crazy wild insane nasty talk from a homosexual?
I mean, who could have seen that coming?
horse hockey
there were at least 2 shoulder mounted, full size, professional cameras filming Bristol on the mechanical bull. they were following within 3 feet of her. there would be no way to miss them
pinko slim needs to be recycled
I suspect the faggot doesn't have the guts to express them to Bristol's mom. ...in person.
What a girls private he is. He must be getting some heat after his gay anger pride, proving his side is exactly what they state we are.
Too little too late fag.

courage by the glass (or bottle..or shot)
We had a sign up in the bar I used to frequent..”Don’t let your MOUTH get your a$$ in Trouble!”
He most certainly owes her and her family an apology.
Equality is the religion of the feeble minded.
If ugly hecklers in America need lawyers, I think we’re done. It was a nice country while it lasted.

What exactly can he be sued for? Being a massive douchebag?
Is it now illegal to heckle people? I mean, the guy is a conmplete toolbox and seems a bit unstable, but I’m wondering why he could get sued, and by whom?
passionate about equality ... except for those he hates.
