Say what you will about Bristol Palin, she’s a quick study. It didn’t take her long to master the ways of her elders on the censorious right and decide that personal circumstance and past error needn’t prevent someone from claiming righteous leadership. Uncle Rush must be proud.
Soon after President Obama stated support for same-sex marriage, Bristol publicly weighed in. Because, you know, the world was on tenterhooks.
In a blog post she focused on the reference that Obama made to his daughters — and to the same-sex parents of some of the girls’ friends.
“It would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends (sic) parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage,” wrote Bristol, making her heady debut as the new Dr. Spock for a nascent millennium. She added that “in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.”
Fathers like … Levi Johnston? It’s with him that she conceived her child — out of wedlock, at the age of 17 — and by most accounts, his relationship with her and the Palin family isn’t any warmer than Juneau in January. A mother/father home is not what he and Bristol have succeeded in creating.
What’s more, she has made sure that their son, Tripp, will at some point be treated to a worldview-shaping image of Dad as something akin to a date rapist. That’s the description of him immortalized in her memoir, one of her many efforts to monetize her surname. It recounts the loss of her virginity as a result of getting drunk and blacking out in the company of Levi, who pounced. What a gift that narrative is to Tripp, now being hauled into a TV reality show, “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp,” already in production. Little children are known to thrive in such environments.
I hesitated before picking on Bristol because she’s an easy target. It’s like shooting moose from a helicopter flying low over the tundra.
But she so perfectly distills the double standards and audacity of so many of our country’s self-appointed moralists and supposed traditionalists: hypocrites whose own histories, along with any sense of shame, tumble out the window as soon as there’s a microphone to be seized or check to be cashed.

Normal person's reaction to a banker causing JP Morgan Chase to post a $2 BILLION loss: "The industry needs to be regulated further." Bank industry insider's reaction to same: "(A) former executive said that the loss was unfortunately timed because it crystallized opposition to bank behavior and was being seized upon by regulators." →
Wall Street is just a collection of dickhead tools.
Sociopathic dickhead tools.
You’re being far too nice imo

This small-minded bigoted troglodyte annoys me perhaps more than any one person in the world. That includes Piers Morgan.
Then why am I only number three, asshole?
He constantly spouts the same old offensive shit to people, trying to get under their skin
It seems to be working.
and then calls them hypocrites if they ever insult him.
Hypocrite!
He’s always defending rape and paedophilia,
Yeah. I’m ALWAYS doing that.
claiming that they’re only immoral and morality is only a religious tool. Yep. Rape is fine by his books.
Show me the quote where I said, in seriousness, “rape is fine.” Locate for me that time that I made the argument that rape is in any way socially acceptable.
That’s not all though, if you’re a rape victim who challenges him you get thischarming response.
I’ve apologized for that outburst several times. You conveniently fail to mention that I said it while under a spam attack from feminists who were saying equally descpicable things in order to instigate me and incite just such a response. Am I an idiot for taking the bait? Of course. Is that statement anything more than a bad, failed attempt at a joke to make a point? No.
While he’s not trying to trigger post traumatic stress(which sadly, people often commit suicide after) he’s often being ableist, racist or just a smug prick.
Ableist, I will own up to. I think that stupid fucking people get far too much of a pass in this country, and I stand by that position.
Racist is a ridiculous claim, given that I’ve made several dozen well-known videos arguing with racists and I strongly disparage the notion that any race is innately superior to another.
If this were top trumps, he’d have the highest points possible for Misogyny - see him calling women FEMINAZIS if they dare to suggest that men have it better off.
I find the claim that men have it better off in modern day America to be patently absurd.
As an MRA(Men’s Rights Activists)* you can already tell he’s going to be despicable but his actions and thoughts are genuinely sickening.
I am not a MRA. I believe in judging people as individual, not gender binaries. I am as against the Men’s Rights Movement as much as I am against feminism.
During the whole issue around him insulting rape victims he cherry picked responses that wished harm upon him and smugly declared them all hypocrites, whilst ignoring those questioning him. He acts like a martyr, whereas we all know he’s just a coward.
I’m addressing you, sir. You think I’m too cowardly to do so, yet here I am—correcting your woeful and willful misconceptions.
Oh, and genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I hope he is struck down with a terrible disease or illness. I’m only saying that because he searches himself and I know he’ll read this but fuck it, it’s true.
No problem, buddy. I hope you get fucked to death by a 2 ton rhino with a chainsaw for a dick.
*MRA - These are middle class white men, the most privileged of them all, complaining because they think life treats them unfairly. I’m not entirely sure how, but they find some bullshit reasons to whine.
Oh? Is that what MRA is? I always thought it was an activist movement in response to false rape accusations, custody discrimination, legal discrimination, uneven distribution of workplace deaths, mandatory selective service enrollment, male genital mutilation, the social acceptability of female-on-male domestic violence, etc. Guess I was fucking wrong!
