[bigdarryl]

OH SHIT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FeaZWKZMSCc

1. Sarah is about to be owned

and it's about time.

[bigdarryl]

2. You don't mess with a comedian they will kill you with jokes

[emulatorloo]

3. A sane person would not start a pissing match with Kathy Griffin, that's for sure

[vaberella]

5. Hold on here. If it's true that KG said what she said about Palin's daughter...

Doesn't Palin have a right to be upset and say---back off. If you want to pick someone your own size, pick me. I think Palin is in the right. Any parent would do that. I'm a bit shocked people would be siding with KG if she's the one who said that. To me she would be the one who started it and not SP. I don't even like Palin----I abhor the woman, but I'm not about to be biased on this one.

6. she can but unfortunately for her, she made her kids public and her

kids made themselves public persons. no refuge once you cross that threshhold. She's using this argument to generate sympathy and try and get back into the daily spotlight after all her gaffs. no sympathy from this person who has suffered with her since she slithered into the public eye in 1996.

[vaberella]

22. So you as an adult are going to say you want to destroy a 16 year old?!

I mean let's be serious here. There should be an adult here. What you're supporting is childishness.

[roguevalley]

31. I didn't say dick, Her littler brats are just loud mouths calling everyone

that opposes her mom's behavior craptastic names right in front of her. She does nothing about her kid's shitty behavior. I am talking about old Brisket Palin. If you want to make it about anything else, have at it. But don't put words in my mouth. Childish? My ass.

[emulatorloo]

7. This is the quote I've seen:

"I’ve already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously. But I think it’s Willow’s year to go down. In 2011 I want to offend a new Palin.”

So KG is going to tell some jokes about Willow.

Isn't Willow the one that posted a homophobic rant on her facebook page?

I understand your point of view if KG were a politician.

However she is a comedian, she makes fun of people for a living.

Palin is just doing her usual thing, overblowing something, playing the poooooooooor victim.

[vaberella]

23. Palin is in the right as any parent would be.

Why should someone go after her. She's a fuckin' kid man. I'm not saying she doesn't know right from wrong. But ignore the little spawns. It's not worth time and energy. And it doesn't take away from the fact that KG is the one who started this. I am truly shocked people are defending this. Let me ask you this. If you were a public figure, and your kid did something wrong and I mean really wrong. You would be okay with people mocking her and humiliating your kid. I mean seriously. You would defend the actions of the comedian. Be real here...you would protect your kid. It's instinctual. Even if you know your kid did wrong. And she's not "overblowing" anything.

11. Palin pimped out her own kids...

She has no right to cry foul based on that alone.

[vaberella]

25. She never pimped out Willow. Not once.

She took them on trips her. She mainly talked about Trip more than anyone else and she talked about the elder daughter. But Willow was rarely given any time. Please. You'd do the same as a parent. I'm really tired of these double standards here.

[JuniperLea]

28. I wouldn't allow my child to write gay slurs on a website either...

Any child of mine who did such a thing would have to pay the piper, and Willow should as well. No double standard here. Nope, not at all. If you want to play grown up and speak out on grown up issues in public, you are dancing to the music and the piper will need paid.

I'm really tired of Palin apologists here.

[Beaverhausen]

13. Did Griffin actually say anything about Willow, or did she just threaten to?

Sarah responding to this is playing right into KG's hands.

[vaberella]

24. See post #7. She did say that.

Joking or otherwise it's uncalled for.

[Beaverhausen]

30. say what? That she's going to "offend" Willow?

oh boy! And until she actually says anything, I fail to see what the big deal is.

this is Kathy Griffin's schtick. Palin is too stupid to just ignore her. This only gives Griffin more publicity.

[emilyg]

20. +1

[vaberella]

4. Who cares about this?! How is this relevant...she's done. Let's keep her that way.

I was hoping to never see another post about this woman on GDP. If it's true, though, that KG said that about her daughter---then I have to say SP was in the right on this.

[emulatorloo]

10. What exactly do you think KG said?

[vaberella]

26. I'm going by what was said in the video. Did you see it?!

And it was confirmed in post no.#7. Even if KG said it in a joking manner, I can see a parent being defensive, and a bit upset that their kid is a butt of a joke. I can respect that. And the phrasing KG used wasn't very diplomatic and is actually a bit antagonistic.

8. There's not enough popcorn in America

[liberal N proud]

9. When you attack the comedians, you are a sorry excuse for a politician

[verges]

12. I don't think KG will back off like Letterman did.

[nmbluesky]

14. Leave Palin kids Alone...

[hlthe2b]

15. SP has used her own children--exploited them to her own ends...

That said, only Bristol has made herself a public figure and arguably lost her right to expect total privacy. The other kids, however, have not and should be left alone, I agree.

Frankly, I wish the entire clan would be ignored--permanently.

[emulatorloo]

16. Willow did a big public homophobic rant on her facebook page

Sadly once you are on Facebook you are a public figure.

KG is a comedian not a politician.

If she were a politician, I would agree with you.

[hlthe2b]

18. Kathy Griffin can say whatever she likes...

I'm saying what I would do.

[emulatorloo]

19. Fair enough n/t

[vaberella]

27. Amen. n/t

[southernyankeebelle]

17. This woman is an idiot. Damn she makes her money making fun of situations. OMG Kathy will

eat her up and spit her out. I swear I think Sarah is a closet gay the way she was telling Kathy. I think it would be great to do another show in AK.

[last_texas_dem]

21. Palin may as well have painted a huge target on herself.

If she doesn't know what happens when you tell Kathy Griffin to stop talking about you, she hasn't watched enough Seinfeld. haha

[11 Bravo]

32. That's not a target! It's a surveyor's tool!

[JoePhilly]

33. Booh ... Yaaa!!!

That's going to leave a mark!!

[Beaverhausen]

29. anybody want to have fun with the Palin worshippers on Facebook?
