And I agree with everything the writer wrote. It's a bit tacky.

It just makes themselves look bad.

But when she gets a little bit of blowback on that, golly, think of her children! Too bad.

But come on in this instance she did nothing that millions of parents do all the time, be it a sporting event, play or dance competition. She went in support of her child you're going to seriously boo someone for that?
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan They're not booing her for that. They're booing her for two years of insulting people as not being "real Americans" because they don't share her views on politics. The far right was all excited when that dunce screamed "Liar!" at Obama. That was cool. Awesome. He got lots of fresh campaign dollars and became a known name.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan And in theory, yeah, I agree DAR, it's tacky. But Palin's reaping what she's sown. She's set it up so that she exists in this little echo chamber at Fox. Every time she steps out of it, she gets a little whiff of the disgust people have for her. She trots her kids onto the national stage every chance she gets, then wants to say they shouldn't be subjected to any political ugliness. Please.

Originally Posted By DAR RE 10-Believe it or not I agree with you that she thinks about her and only her. And I hope that she's not running 12 because I'll gladly sit out next election. And if she were to show up on say the View and the audience booed I'd have no problem. But this was not the place to do it.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>however it was in a political forum. This was not.<< EVERYthing with Palin is a political forum. Look, the show has Bristol on there because it gets attention for the show, and Sarah Palin is all part of the package. She's blurred all the lines between political and non-political. Like I said, she wants to have it both ways -- mouth off constantly about things but not have any accountability or criticism. I wish I could take the high road. I'd like us to be more civil. But since Sarah Palin has been one of the main proponents against civility and driving us more into the fringe, it's nice to see her get the raspberries for a change.
Originally Posted By DAR <<EVERYthing with Palin is a political forum>> You're right I seem to remember because Palin would be in the audience. There would be themed dance offs for lower taxes. And I can't wait to see some poppin and lockin on behalf of health care.

She wants publicity and all the coin that comes with it, she can accept the responsibility that people have a right to boo her when she steps out.
Originally Posted By DAR Come to think about that wouldn't be a bad idea having dance offs solve the worlds problems. Or whatever domestic issues we have.
Originally Posted By skinnerbox FWIW, I'd rather see Meghan McCain on DWTS than Bristol Palin. At least she's articulate and educated, unlike Bristol the high school dropout. And she's written two books, where she was actually the author instead of some little known white supremacist creationist ghostwriter like Bristol's mom employed. In terms of picking the bigger celebrity, I'd choose Meghan over Bristol any day of the week.

I usually get sucked into DWTS, but I can't bear to subject myself to that media whore Bristol Palin. I'll be tuning in as soon as the judges give her the boot. "She went in support of her child you're going to seriously boo someone for that?" Are you really that gullible?
