Please, did any of you actually buy this? If you did give yourself a dozen demerits, and remember that NOTHING is as it seems with the Palins.
The guy yells a horrible comment across a bar, virtually right next to the camera which is perfectly positioned to follow Bristol, in one long uncut piece of video, as she makes her way over to confront him, and when she does it turns out that HE is the unreasonable one?
To make the set up even more obvious she asks if he hates her mom because he is a homosexual and he says "pretty much?" Who would actually blame their dislike of this terrible person on their sexuality? Nobody!
No folks that is not how people confront the Palins. That is how people wanting to make Sarah into a sympathetic figure, and turn potential viewers of a reality show against the Left in this country, PRETEND to attack the Palins.
If you want to see how people REALLY confront the Palins and how Sarah and Bristol REALLY respond when it happens, jsut watch this next video.
Get it now?
Come on people these are the Palins, we should be able to see through their mooseshit with out even breaking a sweat.
Update: Okay well I watched the TMZ interview with the heckler. I still have a VERY difficult time believing it was not a set up, but let me present all of the evidence and leave it up to you decide. (Really? He did not notice the camera and the flashes going off?)
No matter what I don't think that either Bristol or this guy came off very well.
thanks for the reality reminder dude! suddenly my brain feels cleaner!
ReplyDeleteseems to be just another attack set up on gays.
ReplyDeleteyou know these right wingers just hate gays so heres another reason to hate gays..cause they call palin bad names.
how repulsive these palin hos are.
If this merely is street theater for sympathy/opportunity for faux victimhood outrage, it's an absolute new low in scraping the bottom of the barrel.
ReplyDelete~Canuck~
Bristol's face looks so terrible. It is so sad. And on top of it, her soul is terrible. She is a homophobic bully. If she doesn't know how to behave with "hecklers," she should not be writhing in public in a bar.
ReplyDelete"homosexual"
ReplyDelete"African-American"
These words aren't in Bristol's vocabulary. She uses "f**got" and "n**ger".
Obvious setup. But it backfired as usual with the Palins and just ended up making her look worse.
What has the riding the bull got to do with her abstinence/reality show??????
ReplyDeleteLook at Scharlott's Palin Truth-o-meter! Hope you will pledge something, even if it's just $1. --Amy1
ReplyDeleteApparently this restaurant has their own reality show. http://www.vh1.com/shows/saddle_ranch/series.jhtml
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they had room for customers with all those crew people.
So Bristol takes one night off from obsessively posting comments on IM and this is what happens? Didn't she realize her mother is the most hated person in America? Hell, even her own family hates her. It's called blowback Bristol, look it up. Maybe this should be a clue for you to go back to being a lonely depressed hermit with no life. Stick to what you know: trolling IM and birthing babies.
ReplyDeleteThe SCRIPT had the homosexual slur?
ReplyDeleteyikes
yep, that long treck from the bull to the guy at the bar with a clear path was the dead giveaway to me too. Totally staged, no way that path exists that quickly in a bar so that the camera can follow everything so clearly. Nice try Palins. And the homosexual reason for hating Palin was ridiculous, nobody would say something like that. Bunch of clowns.
ReplyDeleteBristol was totally set up. She is dull as shit. Producers are trying to get some rise out of her. Certainly worked. Good God that piece of crap ignorant freaky ass face even rumored as a first daughter is OUTRAGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteGee, usually when something is scripted it's intended to make the topic of the script look good.
ReplyDeleteMission fail.
If it were up to me, I'd fire the writer, the actress or both. Most likely both.
My first thought was "homosexual" is NOT be the word Bristol would use. She's proven that repeatedly as has her charming younger sister. The only folks I've heard using "homosexual"--the entire word--are Republican candidates running for various offices. You know, the ones who are usually have a little bit of the gay themselves?
ReplyDeleteLooks like that Goody Two-Shoes, just some Christian Kids Hangin' Around LA storyline wasn't getting any traction. What better way to beef it up than throw in a little Jersey Shore? After all, don't some folks call her mom "Snowflake Snooki"?
Now where in Hollywood would one find an unemployed actor?
Was that April Morlock with her? So what is this the Wasilla White Trash Sluts on parade in L.A. all about? None of these kids go to school they just hoof their fug asses all around California?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gryphen, you are right.
ReplyDeleteHanging my head in shame that I DID fall for it.
Bristol's careful use of "homosexual" instead of her usual "faggot" should have clued me in that this was scripted.
Sarah DID tell Bristol to do something to drum up support for her show.
ReplyDeleteTMZ presented it like they were all hanging out after a hard day of work but it was all staged.
But stupid Bristol had to pick a homosexual heckler. News flash for you Bristol, most heterosexuals can't stand your mother either. Sexual orientation is irrelevant.
Good point, Gryphen! I didn't think about that potential angle - KNEW that it was filmed for her 'reality' show, but did not think of a 'plant'. :/
ReplyDeleteOTOH: I wonder how they were able to get into a bar - isn't she only 20 y/o, not 21? Wonder what California authorities will have to say about this when they get a hold of this video, because it is ILLEGAL for an under-aged person to set foot into a bar that serves alcohol.
Total set up on Bristol. She should be a little paranoid right about now where cameras are in her apt.
ReplyDeleteHer life is about making a buck...now someone elses is about making some change off her ass.
Whoever thought up dumping her ass on a bull is a sick genuis. Late nights are going to have a field day with tramp.
The guy playing the 'homosexual' was great!
ReplyDeleteIt probably was supposed to serve two purposes: liven up Bri$tol's reality show, and do a little damage control with the Glenn Rice thingie.
... too bad Bri$tol is a shitty actor and couldn't pull off her end of it.
Rick Perry as Sarah Palin

Well, also too I'm not one generally to comment upon style and such but must note I too also always wear my Jesus Camp hoodie sweatshirt when I'm headed to a bar to ride a mechanical bull especially when in Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteThe inevitably appropriate attire, oh yes.
That wasn't a setup. The friends who were with her last night were commenting today on the immaturity and hatefulness of people.
ReplyDeleteNE is reporting peeping Todd is filing divorce
ReplyDeleteI was aware of her bad acting and the funny person who kept saying"What happened Bristol?" So very very lame. They are trying to make this show interesting. Didn't someone say to do something(!) so the show would not fail? Mrs. Grifter keeps throwing herself under the bus. Must be desperate.
ReplyDeletehow repulsive these palin hos are.
ReplyDeleteHow immature you are to judge people you've never met and quickly take the side of a man who gladly displays his ignorance and hate.
What's she doing in a bar? Isn't she still 20?
ReplyDelete"No folks that is now how people confront the Palins. "
ReplyDeleteI think you meant not.
Brisket is no stranger to "reality tv" sets.
ReplyDeleteHomosexual? How many right-wingers say that? Except for Santorum on the campaign trail.
i sooo can't wait for these fukin' gangster grifters to be no more
ReplyDeleteCould be a set up of Bristol, too: "The wild ride," a redo of her DWTS gyrations, a plant in the bar to heckle her so that she looks bad. Oh please let this be a set up of BP.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on this. I was gonna watch. I don't have to watch the sk*nk.
ReplyDeleteI dunno' folks--these good and upright people have all along been trying so hard to warn us all that rescinding Don't Ask Don't Tell and such anti-gay policies would bring on the end of human civilization... and we didn't believe.
ReplyDeleteI guess we stand corrected, hmm?
Wish she'd confronted Dan Savage instead. He, at least, would have been able to articulate WHY Sarah is the "Devil." I guess Pastor Muthee didn't finish the job. But WHY was Bristol trolling for "Homosexuals" in West Hollywood? Maybe she could go next to the Wailing Wall to confront Jews, or to Salt Lake City to confront Mormons. Way too easy. She was totally begging for a confrontation. Hope someone finds this 47-year-old to ask who paid him to make Bristol a "sympathetic victim." Even if this was scripted, it's still a Major FAIL (like everything else they do) for Bristol and Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI don't get this. Is this being filmed for her reality show? Or is it suppose to be a random thing happening?
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe they would try this "Look over here" with the gay/black issue!
Bullshit riding a bull!
Alicat
Ok, I gotta say this…I’ve worked in many bars & clubs and a couple had that stupid bull. And believe it or not, there is a whole system to the thing.
ReplyDeleteLemme break it down for you:
If a sober guy gets on it, he gets a decent ride. If he tips, a great ride.
If a drunk guy gets on, they do a lot of spinning, with a buck here & there.
(If he’s a drunk asshole, they’ll try to get him to puke)
If its a chubby lady, they make the bull jerk a lot to make her jiggle everywhere.
(Same goes if she has big boobs. The guys love watching that.)
If she’s ugly, they do a lot of hard bucks & spins to get her off quick.
If the girl is hot, she gets the nicest ride. Slow, rolling bucks…(aka simulated sex.)
Now, watch Barstool’s ride again. Yep, she got punked. The guy running the bull knew what he was doing. Hehehe…
I loved when the guy asked her if she rode Levi like that. Not sure if it was the same guy that called her mom a whore but you hear it right before then.
TMZ has a brief interview with the heckler guy and he seems sincere. At first I thought "set up," but now I'm not so sure. If it had been a set up, wouldn't she have handled it better? She cam off looking like a homophobic twit.
ReplyDeleteThe guy was out of line. I'm no Palin fan, but the dude was Out Of Line.
ReplyDeleteIF it was a "setup" then whoever thought that would be a cute addition to anything was also out of line.
I hope that the reaction I'm seeing isn't becoming the norm. Bad behavior is bad behavior, even when it's aimed toward someone much disliked. The guy behaved like a total jerk.
Just sayin'...
I'm with 11:06. I think the producers rigged the whole thing, hoping to inject some drama into this dud show. Bristol, you got played.
ReplyDeleteSo not only does the bar have it's own reality show, but theyballowed Bristiol to film there. You know what that tells us boys and girls? The production company planned in advance to arrange filming there. Everyone who walks in there has to sign a release, and has agreed to be filmed for the show. More often than not , extras are hired to fill in the crowd. It's reality show production 101.
ReplyDeleteKnow what else we've learned? Bristol is still boring riding a mechanical bull, confronting a gay heckler, and while trying to use big words like homosexual and African American. YAAAAWN.
So let me get this straight: Good, wholesome ol' fashioned values Brisdull Paylin would have it so that some faux hick would use her mother as a punchline to promote her rancid "reality TV" show?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I always thought that the Palins would stop at nothing to fuck each other just to make a quick buck.
If this is supposed to be her "Teresa Guidice" moment to get people interested in her boring reality show, then EPIC FAIL!!

Let's try to keep it that way also too, shall we?
By the way, please tell how one earns "credence to hate"? And did Brissie really confront a bar? Well, I guess if it's a corporation it also too has personhood.
Also too I guess or suppose it's as Sam Elliot once said: "Some days you eat the b'ar, some days the b'ar eats you."
Ummm...what was Bristol doing in a bar? She's not 21.
ReplyDeleteTMZ video interview with Stephen Hanks

First things first: Bristol, get that trashy Christian Merchandising off your body. Jesus didn't die on the cross so someone could make a buck on a sweatshirt and reduce faith to an ad.
ReplyDeleteBack to the video: So Bristol thinks she's got "gaydar" now?
Screams fake. Especially considering Sarah's record on gays really isn't as horrible as some. I don't think she's ever issued Bachmann like statements.
So to leap to hating Sarah because someone is simply gay is just really, really, really BADLY staged "reality."
Now, a line I would believe was "so you hate my mom because you're intelligent?"
Pretty much.
Afterthought:
You know what's really sad, is now Bristol's show is about her mom. It's always about Sarah, isn't it? Bristol isn't interesting enough unless she's dragging her mom along. Wonder when Sarah's "surprise reality" guest shot will be? Just in time for sweeps week?
Bristol, you were played and it made you look foolish.

WOO HOO I'm getting a car thanks to Bristol Palin.
ReplyDeleteMy dad said he will buy me a car when pigs fly, so I showed him the video of Bristol getting thrown off the mechanical bull.
I've always wondered what self-delusion producers and 'performers' labor under when they think that this sort of staged set up would be perceived as a spontaneous moment.
ReplyDeleteReality?
Really?
As Bristol has demonstrated via Facebook and in personal dealings, the term 'homosexual' would NEVER be used. She would've spewed the word Fag or some other ugly pejorative.
And...WHAT does any of this have to do with working for a charity? Wasn't that supposed to be the basic ruse for Bristol hanging out in LA and living with The Massey Brothers?
This is all so sad. Bristol, at one point in your young life, you had integrity.
You sold it for infamy and a few bucks. It cost you your self-respect and the respect of others.
I am not a hater. I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for what was taken from you. I feel sorry for what you gave away.
I almost, almost feel pity for the simpletons who think this scripted unreality teevee garbage is real.
ReplyDeleteThe Homer vid shows their true colors. Their disdain for teachers and education is breathtaking. We're living our own Reptard hell here in Ohio under Kasuck's dictatorship. He wants charter schools. He's too good to live in the Governor's mansion so it costed us taypayers millions to provide alarm systems and security at his McMansion.

If Bristol and the producers of her "reality" show keep up this kind of action, they will soon not be welcome anywhere....Scraping the bottom of the barrel will not make this a "must'see."
ReplyDeleteHe has a follow-up video too:

I thought it was probably a setup, now feel a bit foolish for having had any doubt.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of "reality" shows and celebrity, it seems like Bricky Hollywood will be able to cash in even more than she already is if the truth comes out in a major way, as the media would be clamoring for exclusives with the primary players. Lots of baby photos and emotional "confession" interviews to be sold for big $.
Still, I'm looking forward to more from Fred, Me Again and Gryph!
@11:06 Did you just wake up Bristol? While Tripp's eating breakfast, you are reading stuff about you on IM, right? This is where you gives yourself "kudos" for this crap. It is so contrived and obviously fake. We've seen you in real action with your mama (clone).
ReplyDeleteIt's time the whole trashy Palin clan (with the exception of the small children) are relegated to the tabloids. Oh, that's right--they're already there.
ReplyDeleteThe girl in the beginning of the altercation looks like April Morlock. That poor dude better be careful or April will sick her psychotic, serial-killing, trophy-taking brother on him!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that Bristol takes her Wasilla entourage with her on her money-making excursions. Looks like Bristol is one of the "job creators" that the GOP is so fond of talking about :-)
Also it did look like Willow was there as they headed to the car; nothing says "Empowered by Christ" like two underaged Palin girls and their friend in a bar, oops make that, in a "gay" bar. Is this entire family lacking the "self-awareness gene"?
This incident took place in a gay bar, for Pete's sake. How prescient of Bristol to throw that epithet at the man---maybe because he frequented a gay bar?
ReplyDeleteQuestion is----why was she there when she's a) under 21 and b) not gay?
I think you're right, Gryph, it was set up for the show.
Isn't it called the Perils of Palin?
The fake altercation will get all the attention but the way that bull operator was jiggling the bull for her was a lot more like a different kind of machine I have heard you can buy for more ummm private use. I think it's called a sybian? or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing when Bristol wa riding the bull was a canvas tent.
ReplyDeleteReally can't tell if the Heckler is real or not. If not, he's a far better actor than Bristol. Hollywood is full of desperate actors who will play ANY part if the money is good.
ReplyDeleteIf so, he's a braver man than I.
(the newt / fourseasons reference was a bit convincing. but a good actor in front of cameras: total wild card)
So, the show was in danger of being canned, and a few days later: Voila! The whole internet is buzzing with it and it's viral. Suddenly, confrontation-addicted reality fans consider it a "must see".
ReplyDeleteHuge mistake on PR's part, IMHO. Everything on SPA was hyper-scripted to throw out the red meat to the right. And it failed in the ratings. This show, with two black boys, is not going to draw that crowd, anyway. Reality shows like the Real Housewives brand have a huge viewing demographic in the gay community, and they have just permanently shut them out.
Good luck with that, fake Christian Bristol.
I agree, G. A total set-up right down to the fake homosexual. Bristol doesn't even look angry which doesn't say much for her acting skills.
ReplyDeleteIf it were real, though, I'd have to say the guy was a total sleeze.
I thought it was because he was one of those Homo Sapiens.
ReplyDelete"... Bricky Hollywood will be able to cash in even more than she already is if the truth comes out in a major way, as the media would be clamoring for exclusives with the primary players. Lots of baby photos and emotional confession interviews to be sold for big $."
ReplyDeleteThough if the Palins decide to "get in front of the story" and go public with a confession, they'd have to protect McCain & Co. and insist they didn't have a clue about the hoax at any point.
Better story for McCain & Co. to have been fooled than to reveal that they perpetuated the hoax.
And as long as they can suppress any evidence to the contrary, McCain & Co have plausible deniability since the mainstream media didn't do its job. They can feign shock and surprise.
Gee, Bristol, wearing the Christian-motif sweatshirt should have reminded you to turn the other cheek.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about these people who actually wear emblems of their professed faith and yet forget the basic principles of it?
Bristol shamed the cross on that sweatshirt (and now, I won't even start about the appropriateness of wearing a cross on a sweatshirt - tacky, tacky, tacky).
That has got to be the WORST acting, ever! And yes, she's demonstrating her extensive 'riding' talent (the person who thought of this story line, is no friend of Bristle's. Can you say - PUNKED!

Well, now, he'd have to. Wouldn't he?
After seeing the interview with the antagonist, I think I spoke too soon...and wrongly about him being a set-up. He called Sarah a dominionist. I wish he'd been as rational in the bar instead of shouting and using the 'whore' word.
ReplyDeleteWhy is an underage single-mom hanging out in a gay bar?
ReplyDeleteIs a gay bar more important than being at home with your son?
I'm changing my mind again. This time to antagonostic.
ReplyDelete11:43, Duh...you think TMZ just happened to find this dude out on the street in Hollywood walking his dog....and were like " Lucky us, here's Bristol Palins heckler from last night?" If you believe that, I have a bridge to nowhere, Alaska to sell you.
ReplyDeleteHow do you think TMZ and the rest of the paps get their tips where celebs will be? They get them from the celebs' "people" . So and so will be out in Malibu, eating at Madeo, blah, blah, blah. Those pictures of Bristol yesterday? The publicity folks for her and/or her show call and tell them where she's fling to be, and if it's a slow day, they'll show up and photograph her since she is certainly d-list at best.
Remember a couple of weeks ago when Will and Jada Smith divorce rumors surfaced, the. The next day they were filmed happily out shopping in Malibu? Now, do you understand?
This is the shiny object meant to distract from Joe M and Levi. Sarah doesn't care if Bristol looks like an idiot.
Love the subtle "Empowered" sweatshirt. "I'm not an ignorant, partying, multi-partnered, multi-gravitas teen who enjoys unearned celebrity and insulting other people publicly. I'm saved! I love Jesus."
ReplyDeleteif it was a setup, then it was one of the worst ever. no one wins that one. they both come off as ignorant assholes.

Funny about the cameras, the lights, and everything.
ReplyDeleteAlso, she isn't swearing.
Also, wearing a Xtian sweat(?)shirt.
The behaviour was beyond strange.
I cannot even make myself watch what you are describing.
ReplyDeleteThese hateful people - the Palins, I mean.
Who starts off a show with a preview about gay people hating one's mother? Why go there????? What is her problem? So freaking weird.
Btw, haven't most of us determined that more than a few of her fans on these various tapes appear to be very likely young gay men? (Don't come after me, my brother-in-law is gay and he would agree with me.)
Can you say "issues"?
If the guy says he doesn't like her mother because she is an on-the-record-in-everything-but-deed Christian, well, he has every right to assume her mother is intolerant of gays. Fundies are. Not progressive Christians, but Fundamentalist Right Winger Christians; Sarah's crowd.
All very interesting given the persistent rumors about Todd.
Agree with the poster who points out that this poor girl can't even have her own show without it being about her f'ed up mother. Pathetic.
LIGHTBULB JUST WENT OFF. This show is set up to try and convince younger voters that Sarah Palin is cool. God help us, they will stoop as low as possible to fake everyone out. Younger people are smarter than that, I can only hope.
So funny--Playing that "Worst Gov Ever vid", as soon as Sarah started speaking in that screech of hers, my dog got up and left the room.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is an actor. And what's a good, devout girl like Bristol

ReplyDeleteJoe is checking in:
ReplyDeleteOnce more unto the breach, dear friends.
Or at least into the maelstrom.
My twelfth book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, is now out from Crown.
Not for the first time, I’m expecting the publication process to be eventful.
Actually, “eventful,” is a euphemism. What I’m expecting are vitriolic attacks from Palin supporters on my character, ethics, reporting and writing skills, wardrobe, haircut, and even the brand of dog food I feed my twelve-year old Norwegian elkhound.
For some reason, my books seem to generate controversy. It started with my first, The Selling of The President 1968, continued through my 1980 book about Alaska, Going to Extremes, intensified with Fatal Vision, reached tragicomic proportions with The Last Brother, my book about the mythic arc of Sen. Edward Kennedy’s career in the 1960’s (as I recall, both Russell Baker and Art Buchwald published attacks on me the same day), and took on international proportions when criminal charges were filed against me in Italy because of The Miracle of Castel di Sangro.
This pattern—and when a phenomenon has continued for more than forty years, it’s hard not to call it a pattern–has occasionally caused me to ask myself: “What is it with you, McGinniss? Why do you keep writing books that you know will make people angry?”
My therapist has suggested that I have a higher than average need for invigoration, and that taking risks in my professional life provides it. I’ve learned not to argue with my therapist (she’s always right), but I’d like to offer an alternative theory: when I set out to write a book, I do so not knowing what the story will turn out to be.
I didn’t know whether Richard Nixon would win or lose the 1968 presidential election. I didn’t know what I’d find in Alaska when I traveled there for the first time in 1975. I didn’t know whether Jeffrey MacDonald was innocent or guilty of the murders of his pregnant wife and two little girls. I didn’t know how I’d wind up feeling about Teddy Kennedy and the carefully constructed Kennedy myth. I had no idea what would happen over the next nine months when I arrived in Italy, speaking not a word of Italian, in late summer of 1996.
Nor did I know how Sarah Palin would react to my moving in next door to her last summer.
My books are shaped by events that haven’t occurred when I start my work. Nothing is predictable, thus everything is volatile. I’ve never started a book with my mind already made up about my subject.
As Flannery O’Connor once said, “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.”
Often what I say is not what my subject was hoping to hear.
Thus, the sound and fury that often accompanies the publication of a new Joe McGinniss book.
I don’t expect it to be any different with The Rogue.
But as Samuel Johnson once said, “I would rather be attacked than unnoticed.”
So buckle up tight and take a ride on The Rogue roller coaster with me.

- where are bristle's children while she is in a bar?
ReplyDelete- is she even allowed to be in a bar?
- whose idea was it to have her (of all people) "riding" a bar bull? (we all know that guys like to watch girls "riding" a bar bull, but the bull operator really makes bristle look NASTY)
- how on earth can a palin supporter watch this, and i'm talking visuals only - i won't even address the actual words used, how can anyone watch this and think this is a "good girl"? she appears to be nothing but a tramp based on this video with no sound. (and no babies being cared for)
How she has a clear path to the man? How does she know he is the heckler at all. He has his back turned to her.
ReplyDeleteIt went from Breitbart.T.V to Qawker, to Huffington and Wonkette, and either people are indignant, or laugh a bit and think it is a setup for her reality show. Spunky Bristol, a victim. It has all it needs for her bots.
Plus a big cross on her chest. Next a Star of David.

That poor f'in bull! Call the SPCA!
ReplyDeleteShe was wearing makeup. she had on her costume. She had lighting. She had cameras. She had DRAMA!!!!!!

Tooo funny. They made her jiggle cus she's a fat chick
ReplyDeleteShe's not just trash, she's boring trash. Who would want to watch this?
ReplyDeleteOh, and hello Bristol, and Bristol's paid-to-blog friend! Bristol, hon, the only way you're going to make money in the future is by getting out in front of the soon to be cracked story, and admitting you gave birth to Trig, and let Sarah raise him as her own. There will be big bucks in that. And really, you should go for it before your parents beat you to it.
No it was authentic. Name of Heckler is Stephen Hanks. He said he would do it again.
ReplyDeleteTMZ tracked him down.
LOL. He better watch his back.
I hatez ur mom cuz I'm a fag, y'all! Ebil ebil woman makin me hatez her cuz of my gaysness! Me a mean librul gay haten on de Palins cuz I a mean librul gay, den got took down by momma Palin's vagina turd. Hatez hatez hatez.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a very young mother doing in a place like that? She looks very uncomfortable on that bull ride, but right at home getting into a stupid fight with a drunk idiot.

Substitute "a man" for "$arah" and there you have the False Idol that you adore so much. Why do you love and accept her ignorance and hate?
I didn't watch the clip, but my Bullshit-O-Meter went off when I read about it and it sure sounded like a setup to me. We should all know to suspect ANYTHING you see when a camera crew - especially one that is there specifically to film a Palin - captures anything that seems to portray any Palin as a victim.
ReplyDeleteEvery last Palin is a fucking liar. Remember that and you'll be fooled less.
I'm with 11:06. I think the producers rigged the whole thing, hoping to inject some drama into this dud show. Bristol, you got played.
ReplyDelete11:34 AM
TOTALLY GOT PLAYED
Why is she in a bar- isn't she 20?
ReplyDeleteWhy does an abstinance spokes person hang out in a bar?
The bimbo jr. is old enough to be in a bar now?
ReplyDeleteThey just need to crawl back under their rock and quit embarrassing themselves. Watching her ride that bull was disgusting. I could have gone a lifetime without seeing that shit thanks. I would have heckled that shit too. Do the us all a favor and go away.
ReplyDeleteSee it wiggle - see it jiggle.
ReplyDeleteDang - can those jeans get any tighter?
Lay off the cheesecake factory.
OMG! Check out the latest write up by the Christian Science Monitor posted on Alaska Dispatch -- it talks about how $arah has had 'a great couple of weeks."
ReplyDeleteHow out of touch and misguided can a writer/publication be?!
I plan to tell them so and hope other IM fans will do the same.
NolaRedHead - thanks for the inside scoop. Hahahaha. I assume if they have a big butt, it stays up in the air allot? Never too old to learn something new :-)
ReplyDeleteokay that was fuckin hilarious! "she's the devil!"
ReplyDeletetotally scripted, the drunk guy was an actor. notice after she fell off the bull how she walks around the long way and walks right up to the dude. she couldn't have seen who yelled at her, she just knew who to walk up to because it was a set up.
even though this is set up as a drunk heckling brisdull, she STILL comes out looking bad. that was a serious fail.
the funniest thing though is the message that because the guy hates the quitter, he must be gay - because all straight men love the quitter! thanks for admitting brisdull, that's it's all about sex with you skanky people!
The Palins always act surprised when snide and course comments are directed at them (directly and in blogs), yet they continue to put themselves into the spotlight within situations that beg any and all responses. What a bunch of losers; no class, no intelligence, NO COMMON SENSE.
ReplyDeleteGryph, I love this blog, however I'll admit watching the Homer Moment again gave me a headache. Mrs. Todd Palin and clan are despicable. Sarah, if you had any common sense, you would hold your head in shame.
"...to confront someone, let alone a bar."
ReplyDeleteSo now the bar is a person? DUH!
Dumb Bristol, go crawl back in your hole and leave those of us who can spot a phony reality show set-up alone.
That bar scene and the TMZ interview with the guy are so fake. I'll bet the dude is related to Joe the Plumber.
ReplyDeleteThis guy, Stephen Hanks, is real:
ReplyDeletehttp://twitter.com/#!/sickofpalin
There is an article on Huff Post about this. The Palinbots must have been ordered over there to defend Bristol. What is really amusing is that many of them are new "subscribers" - how many fans you have will usually give an indication of how long you have been an active commenter. Most have 0 fans or 1. They are not even smart enough to "fan" each other to make it look more legitimate.
ReplyDeletePoint about this is - she is underage and should not have been in a bar.
Her use of "homosexual" seems planned ahead of time. Why would she ask that question and use that word? Makes no sense. If she did not know this was staged - then she was set up. In any event she comes off looking like a real country bumpkin.
Pat Padrnos
Now I can tell my grandchildren some day that I once saw a pig ride a bull.
ReplyDeletedude who says it wasn't a setup is paid to say it wasn't a set up. come on people. how the hell did tmz find a drunk dude from a bar the next day out walking his dog? he's an actor, and he's acting in the tmz interview.
ReplyDeleteWhat a phony set up! You are so right.
ReplyDeleteDo they honestly think this pile of CRAP is going to make it on television? Is this whole stupid thing to gin up interest ?
Bristol: IT IS FRIGGING BORING!!!
And SO TRANSPARENT! Do you honestly think anyone would not know that was all set up?
I happen to be someone who doesn't say bad things about you on here, so listen to me when I say: GET OUT OF THE PUBLIC LIGHT! Why are you doing this to yourself and to your son? If I were you, I would take the money that you have made so far and get as far away as I could from the cameras. And your family for that matter, although you won't listen to that. It is all toxic and you don't even know it.....It is very sad for your son. You are not bringing him up the way he should be brought up. You are going to regret it later, if you ever grow up. I doubt you will with parents like you have had. I hope you get counseling some day and realize how dysfunctional your upbringing has been. Open your eyes if you don't realize it and get help! For your sons sake.
Screw Bristol's show... I want "The REAL Sarah Palin's Alaska" show.
ReplyDeleteEpisode 1. Todd beats up a black 5th grader, Piper cheers him on.
Episode 2. Sarah jumps in bed with four NBA players, all at the same time.
Episode 3. Bristol slams down 18 wine coolers and falls into campfire.
Episode 4. Sarah and Todd do lines of coke and cruise around Wasilla trying to score some meth.
Episode 5. Willow is punished for B&E with a two week trip to Tahiti and a new SUV.
Episode 6. Piper shows off her collection of designer handbags.
I think the heckling just kind of happened - the guy seems sincere in the later interview
ReplyDeleteIt's also bad manners, but that's the way things go these days
"so you hate my mom because you're intelligent?"
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
He was out of line.But-he was drinking.In a bar.Why was Brisdull in a bar at age 20?
ReplyDeleteDear Sarah Palin,
ReplyDeleteYes, I know that you read here. If you don't, I can count on Bristol and her friend to report to you. It is laughable to think of you running for president if your daughter is going to get into bar fights, especially when she is recorded using homophobic insults. Bristol had no business being in a bar, being under 21 years old, the legal drinking age in California.
You are the one who used your children to define you. You are patriotic because Track served in the army. You claim to be a proponent of Right to Life, while you subjected poor Trig to bright lights, loud crowds, irregular hours and being put on display. Right to Life doesn't just apply to the 9 months that a baby spends developing in the uterus before birth. It should apply to a quality of life for the rest of the person's life. How is Trig's therapy going? Can he see? Does he wear his glasses? Can he hear? Does he use hearing aids or are you thinking of cochlear implants?
You do realize that if you run for President, we will be going through your financial records with a fine tooth comb. (Why do you think that Donald Trump won't run?). We'll want to see your medical records and proof of Trig's birth. Your private life will be even more of an open book than it is now. And, Bristol will be your surrogate. Every time that she flips someone off, insults them or acts like a diva, it will reflect on you-- because you are the one who put her on the national stage 3 years ago.
Wishing you the best of luck in your presidential campaign. If the late night comedians don't slice you up, your rival Republicans and Tea Party folks will do the job. Good Luck.
11:06: "It takes some major balls to confront someone, let alone a bar.
ReplyDeleteKudos Bristol!!!!!"
Yes, poor little fragile Bristol was there all alone in that big mean gay bar. She just went in for a chance to ride that bull, as she hasn't had a chance to use those pelvic muscles like that lately.
And then that big mean HOMOSEXUAL man had the nerve to shout something bad about her sainted mother and she just had to fight her way through the crowded bar to find him and tell him the error of his ways. She knew she was be safe because she was wearing her "empowered" jesusy sweatshirt.
Wow..and she even remembered to use all those hard words that her handlers have been drilling into her head....instead of the n and f words that everyone else in her family would have used.
We are all so proud of you Bristol.
(sorry, I even made myself throw up a little there).
SETUP....big time SETUP. I don't care what the guy is saying now, it was all scripted.
There was a lot of BULL going on in that bar and it wasn't mechanical!
after watchin' that stupid fukin' video, i am now absolutely positive bristool has a future in porn
ReplyDeleteWTF is she doin' in a bar anyhow at 20 years old, did california lower the age requirements ?!!?
fukin' white trash under age skank
Newsflash for Bristol - Hey, it's not just "homosexuals" that loathe you and your mother. It's also upper middle class middle-aged, educated, married, white women.
ReplyDeleteAll hell is breaking out for you and your family and unfortunately, this probably won't be the last time you experience public outrage. Better get used to it, hon.
"hey brisdull?, i got an idea"
ReplyDelete"whats that ?"
"lets make up a scene to gin up some attention for the show!"
"wow! great idea!, what you got in mind?"
"lets have some guy pretend to be drunk and call you mom a fuckin whore!"
"cool, lets do it!"
"ok brisdull, we got the camera rolling then you go over and pretend calling your mom a fuckin whore bothers you"
"lol..cool i can make believe!"
"your so cool too brisdull!"
Anyone think this was engineered as a "hey look over here!" device? There's a lot going on with babygate and Joe McGinniss's book. This incident certainly diverts attention away from babygate for a moment. In a totally sleazy way.
ReplyDeleteUgh, TMZ is saying Bristol got "verbally assaulted".
ReplyDeleteI'm so SICK TO DEATH of the media (even trash media) giving this family of liars, cheats, drug users, power abusers, money launderers, etc the kid glove treatment.
too bad todd hadn't been there, it'd been too much fun watchin' that guy at the bar kickin' todd's panzy purse carryin' ass
ReplyDeleteHer family hates her? Yeah, ok. Keep spreading your lies.
ReplyDeleteIt just proves our point, they'll do anything for money, whore!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Bristol wasn't in on the whole thing and maybe the guy wasn't in on it--BUT the producers sure enough were.
ReplyDeleteWhat's still the funniest thing to me, you all have never met these people once and think you know them. Well, i hate you all by your immaturecomments.
ReplyDeleteSame difference. You're all ugly people inside.
Not sure what to think of this...
ReplyDeleteWho took the video?
Who released the video?
What did they want to achieve?
Hmmmm....
Sarah Palin's backers are lobbing bright shiny objects as fast as they can think them up. Palin's name is in every news cycle. Good/Bad mention doesn't matter, just keep Palin in the news.

Sarah Palin’s Hairdresser Talks Big Hair, Alaska In Big Hair Alaska
ReplyDeleteThis week Sarah Palin‘s hairdresser started and finished her reality TV career. The two-episode series Big Hair Alaska had both its series premiere and finale this week, thanks to back-to-back airings on TLC. So, did you watch?
Admittedly, we did not! But we did find the clip below which pretty much sums up the goings on at Beehive, Palin’s salon of choice in Wasilla. The beauty shop talk about near-bear maulings and tragic sledding accidents actually tugged at our heartstrings, though we just cannot get behind the de rigueur Alaskan hair stylings.
http://www.styleite.com/media/sarah-palin-big-hair-alaska/
So you get mad when Bristols attempts to find out kindly what some rude guy's problem is, yet you applaud Levi for his trashy book that purports to clean of his slacker image?
ReplyDeleteWhat world do you live in? When I was in college, some girl screamed slutty bitch at my friend. I confronted her and feel no regret. The instigator wasput in her place. That was what Bristol was trying to do.
She knows most people unfairly hate her mom. She hates this because she knows her mom and knows her mom means well. If you were instilled with the deep family values Bristol was, you'd do the exact same thing.
So totally unbelievable that it's funny!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that girl that butts in, "How OLD are you?" is the girl in that other photograph that people were thinking was Willow. Same hair, but not Willow.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually post but I had to share what happened today with my favorite blog/blog posters.
ReplyDeleteSo I have been on the Trig Truther Train since the day they brought that at least seven month old child onto the stage of the republican national convention, and tried to pass him off as a sixteen week old premature infant. Absolutely preposterous!
Anyway, since then I've followed all the blogs, watched SP trip up her own "birth story", etc. I do believe there was at least two babies.
Of course I have talked about it with my husband and family quite a bit but until today I didn't realize how much my kids picked up on it.
Today my 4 year old son and I were at the HEB grocery store in Dallas where we live. When we were checking out, my son stared for a moment at the very, very pregnant customer in front of us. After a moment my son said VERY loudly "Sarah Pain-lin didn't gedda big tummy like that, her baby jus popped outta the SKY!"
Out of the mouths of babes and all... ;-)
Bristol Palin Heckler Lets Loose In TMZ Interview, Calls Her ‘Homophobic’, ‘Trash’
ReplyDeleteMZ tracked down the guy who hurled profanities at Bristol Palin in West Hollywood. Stephen Hanks was unrepentant for his tirade against Palin, in fact, he “felt good to get it off his chest.” Hanks just happened to be at the bar, and didn’t realize he was being videotaped. He denied he was an actor or a plant, just a person who was very passionate about his beliefs. He said he thought the Palins were “dangerous” and “trash from Wasilla.”
When questioned by the interviewer whether it was acceptable to heckle a 21-year-old girl, Hanks said she was fair game because she was an adult and was in the public eye. Hanks was taken aback by her accusation that the reason he didn’t like her mom was because he had to be a homosexual, which he deemed “very derogatory.”
“She comes from a home where gays are made fun of, where blacks are probably made fun of,” Hanks fumed. “She’s a racist homophobe, in my opinion.”
“Some people may think I crossed the line, some people may think I didn’t go far enough,” Hanks added.
Watch the interview below, via TMZ:
http://www.mediaite.com/online/update-bristol-palin-heckler-lets-loose-in-tmz-interview-calls-her-homophobic-trash/
Oh, yeah. Notice how Brissie, totally disoriented after being thrown from her "bulls--t" ride, heard the remark and knew EXACTLY whom to stomp over to at the bar? The guy seems to be hamming it up as well. I call the usual Palin shenanigans, meant to 1. bring attention to Bristol's show and 2. promote the never ending victimization of Saint Sarah by the Unsaved Dregs Of The World (perfectly timed right after Joe McG's book came out--how cute). Bristol even has a Jeebus sweatshirt on to show everyone what a good little girl she is. Meh. More fuel and fodder for the mental scrapbooks of the Bots. And this kind of Palin propaganda won't end until Sistah Sarah truly proves that she ain't running for anything except a 2-for-1 at Taco Bell.
ReplyDeleteWe Have finally found a career for Bristol!!! Job title: Homosexual detector. While she may not be accurate, she, at far last, could be amusing. Here is how she works: 4 NFL lineman, two per leg, hold Bristol out while she shouts straight, homosexual, or bisexual.
ReplyDeleteThen the linemen Put Brissie into a straight jacket while the judges score her performance.
Bristol has always been pretty protective of her family. Levi did say awhile back that even in the beginning of their relationship (whenever that truly was. I have doubts it was ik 06) she always talked about what her parents wanted for her.
ReplyDeleteThis is a girl who values family, with a tight extended family and an immediately family she trusts.
I would hope all of you would valiently defend your mothers against ignorant and immature comments.
Whoa, look who is getting credit for another shooting.

Of COURSE he does. That was in the contract too. ;)
This video does NOT help Sarah Palin AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteRather than making her look like a victim (AGAIN!) and deserving of sympathy, she looks like a person who has lost complete control of everything, specifically, her 20-year-old daughter, who should not even be in a bar at her age, and should not be further sexualizin her image (after DWTS and having a couple of kids), by riding a mechanical bull (simulating sex). But her mom put her in that sexualized setting time and time again, didn't she? It's the only thing Bristol knows how to sell now.
Seriously, can any one see Sarah Palin running a country? She can't even manage her own family. Please.
I think a better rating stunt would have been if the guy said, "so you are following in your mom's foot steps with the "dark meat."
ReplyDeleteAwful.
Put yourself in other people's shoes for once. You wouldn't like it if people insulted someone you love. But would you have the balls to confront them on it?

Yikes, I thought her chin was going to fall off while riding the bull.
ReplyDeleteThat is not a homophobic slur. She asked him a question and a good one. He continued to throw out rude comments. This is a middle aged man attacked the daughter of a woman he's never met.
ReplyDeleteI don't know his politics but political differences do not warrant personal attacks. All Sarah does is call out the President. It is liberals who bring race into it. Obama is a liar. Just because people see this doesn't make them racist.
Herman Cain is supported by republicans and for good reason. He is what Obama thinks HE is.
God Bless good, accomplished people who run for office. Its been too long since we've had one in the WH.
Nope, didn't buy it. Right from the start it seemed a promo piece. Then when the camera shows both faces, well lit, good sound (in a bar!) and the two clearly know they are being filmed: proof.
ReplyDeleteShe is trying to out trash jersey shore. I had to bleached my eyes after seeing bustol's big, wide, flat, nasty ass in the air like some retard.
ReplyDelete"It takes some major balls to confront someone, let alone a bar.
ReplyDeleteKudos Bristol!!!!!"
Yeah, real brave with a film crew, bodyguards, friends, hang-ons backing bustol up. Yeah real brave, fool.
Please the more I watch it the obvious it becomes it's a fake. Just like that whole damn dysfunctional palin group.
People are sure praising Bristol over at the Daily Mail.
ReplyDeleteSilliness!
Of course it was a set up. It's a bar with TV cameras rolling. Now, whether or not Palin and/or her crew put the guy up to it is another matter, but a BAR and TV cameras and someone's really going to claim it was all REAL?
ReplyDeleteThis guy gets instant fame for calling out something obnoxious and getting face time with the star of a reality TV. Does anyone really believe he wouldn't have yelled out something if the Kardashian family were there? If a Gosselin was there? No, he would have been hollaring just the same, hoping to get 1 million hits on Youtube and an interview with TMZ. This guy probably couldn't care less about Palin.
And I'll believe he's gay when he sucks a dick. Sorry, truly gay people don't treat their sexuality like that.

ReplyDeleteIf she didn't call him her favorite slur, 'hater,' it was a setup.
ReplyDeleteBlinded by his bad character, Breitfart jumped on this like an asshole, thinking he had something, but all he did was bring attention to Shailey and Todd and prostitution and so much more than Joe DID NOT choose to include in the book, but now, and especially after reading this article by a mostly right leaning journalist, this has blasted wide open with a whole new slew of information, questions, inquiries and it serves to muddy the veracity of Sarah Palin more than it does Joe M or Jesse G. Backfired bigtime.
ReplyDelete---
McGinniss, brushing aside the accusations, says the book holds up and could not have been written any other way.
"I go to where the story is," he says. "I don't sit in my office and pass judgments designed to get me air time on Sunday mornings. That's what I've done since I started work at the Port Chester (NY) Daily Item in 1962. I work sources. That’s called journalism. It's not always pretty, but without it, all we'd be reading are ghost-written celebrity memoirs. The homicide detectives I've gotten to know over the years have told me that their line of work isn't always fun either. But it's a necessary part of the effort required to keep our society from becoming any more dysfunctional than it already is. It’s been so long since any of the Beltway Bloviators practiced actual journalism that they apparently don’t recognize it when they see it."

Thanks for letting us know how it's done Joe, you are something of a national hero for me.
Not only is SARAH PALIN’s marriage over BUT so is her political career, The ENQUIRER reports exclusively from Anchorage, Alaska!
ReplyDeleteBitterly stung by Joe McGinniss’ book, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin,” Todd Palin plans to file for divorce AND Sarah’s been advised to forget a White House run, sources say.
“Sarah Palin has been destroyed by Joe McGinniss’ no-holds-barred biography,” a close source told The ENQUIRER. “It’s exposed all her lies, cover-ups and secrets.
“As a result, she’s been told by her advisers that it would be political suicide to announce a White House candidacy. The press and her opponents would have a field day digging into the dirty details of her background.”
The book has also put the final nail in the coffin of her marriage, added the insider.
Todd was “completely embarrassed” by the book’s disclosure that Sarah hooked up with NBA great Glen Rice in 1987, said another source.
“The hookup has become a crude joke on late-night TV,” said the source. “Todd’s been made a laughing stock.”
Todd was “further humiliated” by confirmation of a blockbuster ENQUIRER world exclusive – published in October 2008 – that Sarah carried on an extramarital affair with his business partner BRAD HANSON, and Todd dissolved their snowmobile dealership after learning about it.
Both Sarah and Hanson denied the affair, but Sarah’s ex-brother-in-law MIKE WOOTEN confirmed the cheating story.
Wooten was the key figure in the “Troopergate” scandal in 2008 in which then-Gov. Palin was denounced for “abuse of power” by Alaskan lawmakers for her personal vendetta against Wooten.
“Todd and Sarah were headed for divorce, but Sarah got pregnant soon after, so they decided to stay together,” Wooten told The ENQUIRER.
For the FULL STORY with an exclusive interview with the victim of Todd’s “racist bully” beating it’s ONLY in the new ENQUIRER- now on sale!

Bristol shamed the cross on that sweatshirt (and now, I won't even start about the appropriateness of wearing a cross on a sweatshirt - tacky, tacky, tacky).

surprised she didn't bling it up and point it at her crotch.

Ah, that was a homophobic statement Briscow made; what difference does it make if the guy is gay or not? She insinuated he detested her mom cuz he's gay. That would be a slur.
ReplyDeleteHis behaviour wasn't any better.
But here's the deal; she's getting big bucks to be there and now she looks just as bad as the guy who insulted her mom.
Stupid. Both of them. And she took the bait.
Bristol has always been pretty protective of her family.
ReplyDeletethey don't care about her - threw her under the bus with a faked pregnancy because nobody is supposed to know she got pregnant at 15 after being sexually active for years.
Her own 1/2 brother called her a *unt and a whore.
OK it was a setup. But how many young christian girls agree to perform this smut? How many girls would allow a guy, even a performer, to be filmed calling her mother these offensive names? Sounds like Bristol would take money for anything and has no boundaries.
ReplyDeleteAnd how does accusing the guy of being homosexual make her defense? If she thought she was insulting him, she's still living in Wasilla junior high. She was in a gay bar in California. Who are these people who are advising her on what to say and what kind of reality show is it.
could they make the bull go any slower????
ReplyDeleteshe is such a pig - just like her whore mother.
The Massey Brothers sure dodged a bullet not accompanying Bristol on this particular film shoot.
ReplyDeletepoor persecuted Christian girl... they just hate her because of her family values... LMAO!!! WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Sarah Palin worries about nasty pervs ogling her sweet little daughters thru their bedroom windows? The whole world's watching her eldest girl simulating sex on bulls in bars, on floors with stars...
ReplyDeleteThis was staged big time. How stupid do you think people are. The bouncers would have stopped the guy right off. The thing that really sealed it for me was when Bristol asked him if he was a homosexual and not a fag. Pretty pathetic but it was staged.
ReplyDeleteOk-
ReplyDeleteWho thought it was a good idea to have the world's best known teenage mom RIDE A BULL in public?
Those little "moves" that the Bull did? Yikes. I felt dirty.
And yet. I was SOOOOO bored!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit! Bored!
And the "altercation" was pretty pathetic too.
Seriously, if someone yells that they HATE you or your family, what would you say?
I would say they hated me b/c THEY were an ASSHOLE...
NOT because they were "homosexual".
Like, WTF is she EVEN talking about?????
And if Brisket ASSUMES this guy hates her mom simply because he IS a "homosexual", why wouldn't she mention all the things her mom did to SUPPORT homosexuals?
Oh yeah, that's right, Sarah didn't do SHIT for anybody but Sarah. Not now, not ever.
So, Brisdull, What the FUCK was the point of that?
But even though THAT guy was a plant,
Bitch ~ there are SOOOOOO many people who HATE your guts and your disgusting families' guts...
You better not go anywhere WITHOUT a film crew. Just saying.
I thought the bull riding was hilarious! Oh, what some people will do for a buck. It wasn't a very flattering thing for Bristol and whoever was at the controls was having some fun at her expense. It made me cringe when the bull would stop and then just vibrate. Ewww!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was staged. Bristol needs to cash in on all the current events surrounding her mother but still try to come off as the victim herself. In real life yes, this would be the proper thing to do, not allow someone to trash your mom. It is a true display of character to step up and do the right thing at the right time. But it is also a true display of character to ask someone if they are a homosexual in the form of slinging an insult.
This was all part of a reality show that needed an infusion of interest and this is how they got it. Pretty much taking the low road here, but what else is new.
These "fppl" are absolutely deplorable! Yuk!
ReplyDeleteNothing but the lowest of Valley Trash with Tabloid bucks! Paylins will end up broke before too long.
Scarcrow and Bristdul: YOU ARE DONE! The WHOLE WORLD is laughing at you!
OT. I think Fox News is slowly canning Sarah. Tucker Carlson was on today giving his opinion of everything. In the past couple weeks, the commentators have given negative feedback on Sarah. Grab your popcorn.
ReplyDeleteHere's the deal - if they show him, he had to sign a release. So, yes - a set up.
ReplyDeleteThat guy looks familiar. I think he was in an acting class i took. His name's Steve or something.
ReplyDeleteOkay, interesting question for you guys:
ReplyDeleteWould you actually SAY anything to Brisdull Palin if you had the chance?
Would you say something to Sarah Paylin, if you had the chance?
Since many people are calling this guy pretty nasty names,
What would YOU say to the Paylins?
I'm curious. I feel like I have SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much I want to say I would probably be overcome with emotion. Like, where would you START?
I know some people here had the opportunity to see sarah at a book signing, but at least one person "chickened out" of saying what they really wanted to Sarah.
We come here and we type our opinions under the cloak of anonymity.
Would you say the same to their faces?
I would certainly try.
Uhm. Why is the Abstinence Queen in a bar, shrieking while she drunk rides the bucking bull and confronts other shrieking drunks? Is this how the AQ maintains her quiet dignity? Huge ick factor here. Ew.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who doesn't think this is a slur against homosexuality needs to ask herself, why would Bristol say that? And then why say she asked because he looks like he's homosexual. His sexuality, whatever it is, has nothing to do with anything he said. Absolutely nothing. If she had asked about his political affiliation or called him an asshole or something, that would have made perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteIs Bristol the new Anita Bryant? Maybe she's recruiting for Marcus Bachmann.
The bottom line is that when you welcome people into your life the way Bristol has over and over and over again, sharing the most intimate details, you have to expect that people will have something to say about it. And if you go into a bar with a crew who are filming for your reality show and are stupid enough to get on a mechanical bull, you REALLY have to expect that people will say things to you.
I think it's hilarious that she's armed herself with words like "homosexuality" and "African American."
In which scenario is Bristol more idiotic, if this was a scripted encounter or if this was a spontaneous occurrence? I think she more idiotic if she agreed to a set up where she's riding a mechanical bull and then defending her mother against the homosexual.
wow the whole world watched her simulate alright. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThen she was spent and fell off. LOL
To Sarah vs. Sarah:
ReplyDeleteI think right now I'd just point and laugh at Bristol and Sarah and shake my head. They are beyond ridiculous. Of course, it would be good to stare Sarah Palin right in the eye and say, "we know, Sarah, we know."
What would YOU say to the Paylins?
ReplyDeleteWhere's the birth certificateSSS - any of 'em, all of 'em.
Where's the college degree?
Where's Track's and Bristol's HS degrees?

And can someone point me to ANON238's last post, please.
ReplyDeleteOr just, re-post.
Thanks!

I think silence would get them more than actually SAYing anything. Rattle them, make deep eye contact, with a knowing, slight curve of a smile.
They are so on the defensive, anything "said" they don't "hear".
I guess that Bristol's show is soooooo bad that this is what she has to do to get the media to notice her.
ReplyDeletea little paylin-ku:
ReplyDeleteI hate your mother.
You are homosexual!
Is this scene over?
I don't know his politics but political differences do not warrant personal attacks. All Sarah does is call out the President. It is liberals who bring race into it. Obama is a liar. Just because people see this doesn't make them racist.
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~~~
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
Bristol has always been pretty protective of her family.

Tripp needs some protection. He's being exploited for cash on a reality TV show. Tripp needs a chance to grow up with some privacy, get to be a boy, not learning his lines for tomorrow's film shoot.
Your protective Bristol line is blatantly false. Why not try something easier to sell? How about abstinent Bristol? er, well, How about educated Bristol? er, well,...
anyway you should keep trying for something a little less outlandish and stick with the truth for a change.

ReplyDeleteThankie. . . Just one thing, Dude.
D'ya have to use s'many cuss words?
The Dude looks at The Stranger as if just now noticing how
out of place the cowpoke is.
DUDE
The fuck are you talking about?
The Stranger chuckles indulgently and pushes off from the
bar.

Okay, have it your way.

Fran at 1:56, many thanks for your work. Someone else said his name was Steve from an acting class.
ReplyDeleteIs that Willow standing next to her at the beginning of the "confrontation?" Same profile, minus the big chin. Now two underage females in a bar. Oh yea, this is the family to send to the White House.
My question would be what is Bristol doing in a bar? She is not 21 yet is she?
