Classy... Real classy

Thanks for reminding me... Could you or another liberal woman please explain to me why NOW always jumps to the defense of liberal women, but only once in a blue moon, ever defends conservative women?

The answer to that is easy if you use the formula I posted... Since the left rarely does use it, the chances of me getting an honest or real answer from you or anyone else, is very slim.

Listen, Grim, if my 20-something semi-famous daughter with a baby was on video drunk and riding a mechanical bull, she'd have heard worse from me. This is NOT the conduct I hoped for -- or got -- from the kid I raised who managed to avoid having a child out of wedlock).

I do occassionally defend conservatives. When Glen Beck took his family to an open air concert at Central Park and was harrassed by other patrons, I said it was wrong. (Wasn't here then, so you'll have to take my word for it.)

OTOH, taking a family to a concert in the park is easier to defend than getting drunk and playing "girls gone wild" when you have a baby at home.

at least she didn't wrap the baby's head with duct tape and throw it in the swamp :shrug:

I see no reason why I (or anybody else) should pass judgment on Bristol's being at a bar on one particular night. Even the very best parents occasionally enjoy a night away from home and a moment of poor judgment. Seems kind of judgmental/pretentious to start railing on her for a night out. Her stupid comments? Absolutely.

She was inserted into the public eye, and then embraced it. This is a consequence of choices she made....ones I would have counseled my child against.
 
In general, if you can't admit to yourself or others that there are assholes, scumbags, partisan bigots and people far too ideological to be considered sane on both ends of the political spectrum, it's probably because you are one of those people.

Good for you. But you're not perfect. The Palins aren't perfect. One night does not make the case for lambasting the girl and her family. You "advising your daughter against something" doesn't mean she'll decide to follow your advice. In fact, I'm willing to bet there has been at least one occasion when your daughter either deliberately disobeyed you or ignored advice you offered. Kids do that...almost universally. It just seems silly for you to go off on a little holier-than-thou tangent about the quality of parenting going on here based on this video.

Just so we're clear....the parenting I'm lambasting is Bristol's, not Sarah's. Though I can do both.

You can tell me I didn't raise a better kid, tessaesque, but the fact is, I did. Most of us did. IMO, Bristol is one step above "Jersey Shore".

he was stupid, she was just as stupid. and of course, calling him gay, in her mind, was an insult. so what else do we know about ms mom of the year?

And there goes honesty, right out the window.

I didn't tell you or imply to you that you didn't raise a better child than anybody. What I will say is that arrogant assumption that you're better (based, again, on one video) means nothing. Her parenting was not the issue here, but you brought up and paraded yourself around like some sort of model of parenting, trashing her ability to be a mom to her child based on almost no evidence. It doesn't come across well.

what, so she called him gay as a compliment?

Why does embracing liberalism distort a persons perception of reality?

Watch the video 5, 10, even a hundred times if you have to... How ever many times it takes for you to see what actually took place, rather than the politically distorted version that your ideology has created for you.

Sounds like a typical illiberal conservative reaction to a bull riding unwed mother out drinking while her child is at home.
 
This "guy" is a real jerk for what he said to Bristol. It was totally rude and uncalled for, he should be ashamed of himself, and he deserved a bottle across his head.

However, Bristol should have taken the high ground, and not made any comments about his supposed homosexuality.

In summary, they were both wrong.

Also - who gives a rats ass about what some drunk dude says to a celebutante in a bar, and how the hell does that have any real bearing on anyone's politics?
 
Thunder said:
Hmm.....Bristol Palin accuses him of being gay because of his wardrobe. That's real classy.

Now you accuse the victim of being a gay basher... Classic liberal dishonesty.


How about you quote her, so we can all laugh at your ridiculous and dishonest accusation.
