Bristol Palin Says LGBT Activists "Hypocritical" Toward Phil Robertson

[Initech]

Bristol Palin says gay activists are "hypocritical" to take offense at "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson's anti-gay comments.

"I think it's so hypocritical how the LGBT community expects every single flippen person to agree with their life style," she said in a blog post.

"I hate how the LGBT community says it's all about 'love' and 'equality,'" she continued. "However, if you don't agree with their lifestyle, they spread the most hate. It is so hypocritical it makes my stomach turn. They need to learn how to respect others' opinions and not just jump to the conclusion that everyone who doesn't support homosexuality and gay marriage is homophobic."

Palin has denied in the past that she is herself "a homophobic."

"I like gays," she said in July 2012. "I'm not a homophobic and I'm so sick of people saying that. Just because I'm for traditional marriage doesn't really mean I'm scared or anything of anyone else, and I don't hate anybody."

Palin hasn't just been criticized for her opposition to gay marriage: She also made a gay joke during her first run on "Dancing," in 2010.

$10 says she hasn't read the article either.

1. "I like gays...

...but I think they shouldn't have the same rights as everyone else because a book written and re-written over the past 4,000 years says (kinda) no to it."

[putitinD]

2. $10. says she can't read

[Iggo]

36. I'll take some of that action

[kevinbgoode1]

3. I get so sick of reading about these grifters and their pontification - as if they should . . .

be assigned any credibility about anything in life. And ditto for Robertson.

Maybe the question should be: Why does someone like Phil Robertson even have an opinion about gay Americans? Since they clearly aren't having relationships with him and likely avoid his personally-selected-religious-interpretations (or should I say force-fed interpretations) what makes the media think he is entitled to a damned opinion about something he clearly knows nothing about? It's the same with the Palins and the rest of the right-wing chorus of "freedom of speech" claimers - what makes them think the rest of the world gives a damn about their "opinions" about people and lives they don't know crap about? These people have enough trouble managing their own damned lives and they need to learn to keep their noses on their own faces.

. . .and while I'm on this mini-rant, let me just add another message to right-wingers who claim to be obsessed about your "freedom of speech" in front of a microphone - don't go on about hating "political correctness" and then throw a fu*king tantrum just because someone says "Happy Holidays".

6. he knows homophobia is red meat to his ignorant, bigoted fans

more $$$$$$$$$$$$$

[SeattleVet]

4. Was she as supportive of Martin Bashir's speech concerning her mother?

Pot, kettle - you know the drill.

[JustAnotherGen]

5. This illiterate

Should not have a blog.

[chervilant]

11. Should we acknowledge (at long last)

that ~42-45% of this nation's adult population (depending on which research you cite) is functionally illiterate?

Frankly, I think -- given how degraded is our system of public education -- the percentage is much higher now.

[JustAnotherGen]

39. Hers is deliberate

I used to tutor adults who never had a shot - example - Emma through literacy volunteers. In 1998 she was 62 and had moved to Western Ny in her 20s from South Carolina. A poor black share cropper's daughter - she had to leave school at 12.


The world and circumstances she was born into - by design she read at the kindergarten level when I met her.

Bristol Palin is an "adult" now. She's fair game to call an asshole who is deliberately ignorant.

[edwardswd]

7. Who gives a flyin" F##K what Bristol Palin thinks?

[hobbit709]

13. you have to assume she thinks

[B Calm]

8. Wow, dumb as a hillbilly!

[cordelia]

19. Hillbilly?

[B Calm]

23. You have never heard of the Palin family

being referred as the Hillbilly's from Wassilia?

[theHandpuppet]

26. I'd really you rather not use that slur

As an Appalachian myself, I'm really put off by it. Thanks.

[truebluegreen]

35. +1

"Grifta" from Wasilla is way better.

[Scootaloo]

53. I'm an eternal fan of "Caribou Barbie" n/t

[truebluegreen]

54. +100

And Princess DumbAss of the Northwoods!

[HughBeaumont]

9. LIFE . . . not "lifestyle", oh dumb one . . .

And here's another mistake you're making: Their life doesn't require nor seek your approval or opinion to be respected. Their life is just like yours, mine and everyone else's; only difference is they have a lot more stupid tossed their way than most.

Oh, and another thing . . . If you don't agree that two people that have nothing at all to do with your existence, not causing you an atom speck of harm in any way (other than their "ewww gross" intimacy obviously annoying you) don't deserve the same happiness and human rights as your gawd-slobbering, hetero-normative world does .. . yeah, that would be "hatred", Slappy.

[barbtries]

27. this is good.

i think you should go paste this onto her blog.
actually it kind of boggles my mind that anybody is paying attention...but since we are, i like your response. i was at a loss myself, though i certainly know who's doing the hating in this instance. and pretty much every other one.

[HughBeaumont]

48. Maybe I should.

Then again, that would just invite the single issue Leviticus assholes to chime in and then it's on.

[Iggo]

37. Well said!

[Tikki]

41. Thank you…perfectly said...

Tikki

[JHB]

10. Clueless twerp who doesn't know the first thing about "spreading the most hate" or...

..."respecting other people's opinions and not jumping to conclusions."

Get a job, kid.

[hobbit709]

12. Grifterella can't even spell "hypocrite" much less know its meaning.

[riqster]

17. DUzy for "Grifterella"!

I am SO stealing that word!

[Atman]

14. "Just because I'm for traditional marriage..."

"...doesn't really mean I'm scared or anything..."

Really. Honest! I swear!

[catbyte]

15. OMFG. I can't take her wilted word salad spewing mother seriouly, why would

I give a flying fuck what this high school dropout hick thinks about anything? Didn't her toddler yell an anti-gay slur at her on that pathetic "reality" show she had? Thanks again John McCain, for inflicting this horror show of a family on all of us.

[barbtries]

28. yes, he did,

and she couldn't stop laughing long enough to express displeasure about it.

[Jimbo S]

57. I think Steve Schmitt

had a bigger role in that decision.

[catbyte]

59. Nope. It was McCain's call. Schmitt wasn't the nominee, McCain was.

[Ganja Ninja]

16. Considering the family she was raised in ...

I would expect her to be numb to hypocrisy by now. Irony too for that matter.

[stevenleser]

20. Says the abstinence advocate who got pregnant? nt

[truebluegreen]

34. Wasn't she invited to speak at a college

about college life and abstinence?--despite the fact that she knows nothing about either. As I recall, the actual students shut that whole thing down.

[stevenleser]

38. Yes. In 2010 she netted $260,000 as a "teen ambassador" speaker on abstinence

I kid you not. Might as well have had Ted Bundy as a paid spokesperson about non-violence.

[kelliekat44]

21. Why does anyone quote Bristol Palin?

Haven' read what she said and don't want to.

[marmar]

22. The Stupid is Strong in My Family.....My Mother Has It. ........

[spanone]

24. ...and the media quotes bristol palin because........?????????

[Bluenorthwest]

25. She's 'for traditional marriage' but she does not have one, she was Levi's baby momma

and I can't recall if they married and then divorced or if they just had the child then broke up, traditiionally of course.
Like the rest of the anti equality folks, she wants to do whatever she wants and call that 'tradition' and claim being a knocked up teen with a doofus boyfriend is the standard to which we should all aspire.

[Tanuki]

29. Meh, the family publicists probably thought this would be good for getting Bristol a couple of paid

speaking engagements at fundy hate group meetings and extending her expired 15 minutes of celebrity.

[Siwsan]

30. Who are these 'single flippin people', of whom she speaks??

Are they solo acrobats?

[Tanuki]

32. Or maybe....

[img][/img]

[Siwsan]

43. Are those moose burgers??

If so, that makes PERFECT sense.

[Initech]

46. Better yet - who says "flippin'"?

[Thinkingabout]

31. If she by chance read the article, she may not know what "vagina" and "anus" definitation.

[truebluegreen]

33. Almost as smart and articulate as her mother.

[marshall]

40. She has likely faced condemnation from her side

Knocked up, shacked up, then broke up. That' snot exactly the lifestyle her mother' screw are out advocating.

[napkinz]

42. Hey Bristol!

[nadinbrzezinski]

44. That apple did not fall far from the tree

But some of these attitudes you learn at home. It takes a very strong adult to challenge what they learned at home.

[napkinz]

45. a rotten apple

nt

[Quixote1818]

47. Gays commit suicide because they are seen as sinners by people like Bristol

This is just sheer ignorance at it's worst.

[treestar]

49. If she is for traditional marriage, why didn't she marry before having

a child? I thought that was part of the tradition?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

55. I completely agree. Excellent point. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

50. "I like gays,"

wow. that is all i can say.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

56. I'm sure she thinks they are funny and cute....

....but still thinks they'll burn in hell.

[senseandsensibility]

51. Weird, huh?

She doesn't seem to be following her own "values."

[MrScorpio]

52. That doesn't make any sense at all

But it's not like I expect her to understand what she did wrong there

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Very Convenient To Be Able To Make Up One's Own Definitions

Now, responding angrily to a hateful comment is hate. New defintion. See how easy that is.

One thing i'll say for her: She learned her lessons well. Provocative statements to continue to attract the interest of the troglodytes who hold her up as some perverted version of a role model. Just like mommy.
