Understood - and I get why he needed to do it, and why tpm picked it up. But it is unfortunate because candidate’s children’s personal lives should not be public fodder. I felt that way about Bristol Palin and I feel that way about the Obama girls. The salivating on this page about a young girl’s misfortune is disgusting. I am all for people reaping what they sow but in this case it is a young girl who is the one who is doing most of the suffering, not the candidate.
Wasilla Kardashian used Barstool as a stage prop
Yes, and dump all over him, but she’s 17, and a candidate’s daughter shouldn’t be a target of ridicule.
Ever.
“town sluts”?
17 year old girls who get pregnant are sluts.
??
That doesn’t make it right and neither does calling her barstool.
You are who, exactly? Joined 2 hours ago, have made 4 posts?
I named her Barstool when she went on Dancing with the D-List and tried to turn her mother’s fame into income. Barstool is a public figure in her own right, and is subject to public criticism as a public figure.
Fair enough. I have been a tpm reader since the beginning but rarely post. The comments on this one pissed me off.
The issue is not this dumb kid. The issue is where were the parents? This guy is so busy being a BIG FUCKING DEAL that he is not supervising his child. She is a child, and I don’t care if kids fool around, the parents need to take responsibility. He is obviously not paying attention to the Home Front.
Only one negative comment about her. Rest of comments have to do with how Republicans view the pregnancy of a teen in the suburbs vs. inner-city, Republican opposition to comprehensive sex education and the hypocrisy of the religious right.
You obviously do not understand. Bristol was a slut. Levi was a moron. And Sarah the Moosekiller is and was a dreadful example of motherhood. She was so busy being a BIG FUCKING DEAL that she didn’t notice the moaning and grunting as Levi screwed her daughter under her nose. That’s the issue. If you can’t keep your own kid from fucking some loser, you have no business running for an important office.
Plus Bristol the Born Again Slut delivered speeches about virginity. She was going to come to Washington University in St Louis carrying her little dumpling and lecture the students about virginity and not getting pregnant. There was such an outcry that it was cancelled. What a slut that bimbo is.
Palin may be a terrible mother- but none of this makes Bristol a slut anymore than it makes anyone with a child a slut. Not cool.
You have a pretty awful view of women, maybe you shouldn’t throw stones.
The issue with the Palin spawn - Field, Barstool and Pillow - is that they are evidence of Wasilla Kardashian’s failure as a parent. According to published reports, all three have had problems (vandalizing school buses, underage drinking in a licensed bar, vandalizing houses). Their actions can’t and won’t be overlooked as long as their publicity whore mother continues to Twatter her tossed word salad all over the intertubes and over the airwaves.
Again with calling innocent kids names. They weren’t all on tv by choice. Not their fault who their mother is, just because she chooses to show them off like ponies doesn’t change the fact that they are just innocent kids who have don’t deserve to be publicly ridiculed.
Not my fault that Wasilla and Tyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahd chose names by flipping through an issue of Guns and Ammo. As to being “innocent” kids - the three mentioned are of legal age and are public figures in their own right, and became so when they sought out the same type of “fame” as the lowliest Kardashian.
Field Palin - 25 years old
Barstool Palin - 23 years old
Pillow Palin - 20 years old.
How, exactly, are they “children?”
Well that’s embarrassing? Add another Republican to the Larry Craig “do as I say not as I do” right wing pseudo-Christian self righteous Republican list of things American’s aren’t supposed to be doing
I guess the aspirin between her knees slipped.
Or maybe the rufy in her drink
They all could be in for a little surprise on delivery day.
