Bristol Palin, Keith Olbermann Trade Barbs
CBS News ^ | December 3, 2010

Posted on 12/03/2010 2:29:37 PM PST by Pinkbell

(AP) Bristol Palin is striking back against MSNBC host Keith Olbermann for dubbing her "worst person in the world."

Olbermann gave her the title on his show earlier this week, casting her as a hypocrite for appearing in a public service announcement promoting abstinence and safe sex. Palin was an unmarried teenager when she had her son, Tripp.

He likened her being an abstinence spokeswoman to saying former President George W. Bush "kept us safe, 'cept for that 9-11 thing, which doesn't count."

The 20-year-old "Dancing With the Stars" diva and daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin defended herself on Facebook Thursday. She said calling her a hypocrite is an "old canard." And she said that what Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with "insincere incredulity."

But I know the folks touting her are all too often members of the same crowd that was yapping about Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and Dubya as the second comings of conservatism, and I don’t trust that crowd’s opinion.

That is BS.

Woo hoo!! FR is Palin Country!! 48 posted on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 12:12:51 PM by Jim Robinson,/b>

I’d be happy if both just went away.

. I don’t know Sarah’s political opinions enough to be a fan or not.

Feigning ignorance is so unbecoming.

Fame isn’t about reason or righteousness and believing a person’s worth equates to their fame in any way is silly.

That is your own personal hangup, don't project it onto us, you seem obsessed with the girl, fame, celebrity, whether someone is making money, TV, and people's worth in relation to any of that.

“How many people have impressive resumes at 20, while raising a child as a single mother no less? Beyond that, I think she’s demonstrating considerable responsibility for her life. Your comments were ugly, no matter how you try to pretend you meant no harm.”

To answer your question, lots of people have impressive resumes at 20. They just don’t get on TV much these days.

To respond to your comment, well, I’ve been waiting to give it out all week. You get the award for “Best Public Exhibition of Self-Righteous Hypersensitivity from a Self-Styled Conservative.” Hooray for you!

As opposed to your personal hangup, harassing people who didn’t post to you in the first place, just to make a statement about your membership in the cult of Palin. Talk about obsessed. Have any mirrors around your house? Throw a stone at a glass house, there, whydoncha?

I hope you will answer post 81, also.

I have questions she hasn’t answered—to my knowledge (see, not feigning). Here are a few:

1) Where does she stand on Gonzales v. Reich?
2) Is she for any sort of legal path to citizenship for illegals?
3) As president, what would she do about Roe, the interstate commerce clause, birthright citizenship, the UN, eminent domain?

I’d like to hear her opinions on those topics as opposed to the usual pap that elections are about.

Answer what? You had no point that I could see relating to my post, which objected to the crowd touting Colin, Condi, and Dubya. To my knowledge, Jim ain’t a Colin fan. Of course, since you know his political opinions so intimately, maybe you can show me those posts of his.

Wow, your second post on FR was pushing Mitt Romney.

Oddly enough, your very first post was 7 years after you signed up here.

Olberman is a 52 year old man picking on a 20 year old. How pathetic is that?

Exactly. She's a kid. He's more than old enough to be her father, but she still makes him look like a twerp. He simply wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.

“Another confused LIEbertarian who has FR mixed up with Lew Rockwell.”

At least I’m not a sausagesmokin’ RINO who wants to push perception over substance. At least Lew Rockwell wouldn’t have endorsed John McCain.

So you pick three questions you think she has not answered, out of what a hundred thousand she has answered and that means you don't know enough about her?

Your ignorance is quite amusing!

Palin does not attract rinos, she repels them, you seem to have missed that over the last two years somehow.

You know that Colin, Condi, and the Bushes are trying to stop Palin, and are rigidly aligned with Rove, Romney, Noonan, and that entire side of the GOP, the division between the Romney/Rockefeller crowd, and the Reagan/Palin/tea party crowd is the very war that we are in yet you pretend that their fans are the fans of Palin, what is that about?

Is this some of that goofy Ron Paul nuttiness?

The primary process has proven time and again when the GOP nominates someone who doesn’t speak on important issues, they always hold the wrong opinions. She hasn’t addressed issues I care about. Until she does, she won’t get my primary vote. Whatever you think about her, and whatever insults you spew my way.

Is that like Keith Olbermann's Worst Person In The World award?

You started with the insults in post 93, so quit the childish crying.

Being a loseatarian, she will never answer the questions good enough for you.
