Speaking of the Throwdown at the Hoedown, now the Right is accusing the homeowner of sexually assaulting Bristol Palin.

So it is now the day after audio and pictures of the brawl have been released by the Anchorage Police, and media outlets on the Right have finally decided on their plan of attack in covering it.

Essentially, Bristol's been victimized. Perhaps even sexually.

Take a look at this from the Daily Caller:  

When news trickled out about the Palins being involved in a drunken brawl, I was mildly amused. The narrative was that this band of rich hillbillies was at it again. Then I saw this disturbing quote from Bristol Palin (being questioned about the incident): 

“I walk back up. “Did you push my sister?” And some guy gets up, pushes me down on the grass, drags me across the grass. “You slut, you fucking cunt, you fucking this.” I get back up, he pushes me down on the grass again. And I have my five year old, they took my $300 sunglasses, they took my fucking shoes, and I’m just left here?

“A guy comes out of nowhere and pushes me on the ground, takes me by my feet, in my dress—in my thong dress, in front of everybody—”Come on you cunt, get the fuck out of here, come on you slut, get the fuck out of here.” I don’t know this guy.” 

IF this is true (and we may never know for sure, but she sounds sincere), then Bristol Palin was physically, verbally — and possibly even sexually – assaulted by a man.

The reporter, Matt K. Lewis, then goes on to suggest that Bristol's victimization should be the lead story, and that the media's refusal to recognize that demonstrates bias on their part.

What Lewis fails to recognize, and I think purposefully, is that the key part of his article was "if this is true."

But it's not true, and proven by the testimony of everybody who is NOT a Palin family member.

However that is unimportant as the Right now has their meme and they are going to run with it.

And this Right Scoop article drives that point home: 

CNN host Carol Costello can barely contain her excitement over hearing the new audio of the ‘brawl’ in Alaska that involved Bristol Palin a few weeks back. 

After the audio concluded, Costello said “I think that long beep was my favorite part,” referring to the beep that replaced a long string of expletives from Bristol Palin. 

Costello then quoted Sarah Palin’s Facebook post where she had remarked how proud she was that Palin defended the family, noting that it made her heart soar. Costello ended it by saying smugly “You can thank me later.” 

What’s so disturbing about Costello’s smug excitement over this audio is the actual content of the audio, in which Bristol Palin is incredibly upset as she describes to police how she and her sister were assaulted by someone at the party. I’m not sure how something like that can excite someone so much. Costello clearly has such contempt for the Palins that she apparently gets off on harm coming to the Palins. 

I suspect if these were Barack Obama’s girls in the same situation, Costello would be defending them instead of laughing at them. 

Yeah, you know what? The Obama girls are NEVER going to be in this kind of situation. They are far to well parented for that.

I know that playing the victim is the favorite Palin tradition, but that is simply not going to work in this case.

Those audio tapes reveal the Palin family as the foul mouthed bullies that we all know them to be.

They can try to shape this story any way they want, but in the end there is no escaping the fact that the party was completely drama free until the Palins arrived, and after that at least three fights broke out and every one of them involved at least one member of their family.

Bristol Palin speaks out about her parents divorce. By denying any such thing is happening. Update: From the Grizzled Mama herself.

Here is the big splashy picture that Brancy put on the blog to demonstrate the Palins deep and abiding financial contract love for each other. (A love by the way that seems only on display when they know there is a camera pointed at them.)

Then Bristol's ghostwriter uses her literary talents to wax eloquent about the love between these two people:  

Aw… so sad. 

I just read an article on Yahoo’s front page about my family. 

According to some random reporter, my parents are getting divorced… 

I find something new about my family every day! 

(Of course, the article and most of what the media reports about our family is complete garbage.)

"The media reports about our family IS complete garbage." Seriously? 

For this they need a ghostwriter?

I swear good help is so hard to find these days.

Of course these new rumors have resurfaced after Palin was spotted in Anchorage without her wedding ring earlier this week.

However rumors of a Palin divorce have bubbled to the surface, time, and time again.

Now I can't remember who first suggested that the Palins are getting a divorce, or at least no longer living together as man and wife, but since that time Sarah has been spotted repeatedly without her ring, and often without Todd all over the country.

In fact there is plenty of evidence to suggest that Palin spends the majority of her time in Arizona, while Todd remains in Alaska .

But hey, what am I saying? If Bristol Palin's ghostwriter says that there is nothing to these rumors, then why would we argue?

After all when was the last time that the Palins lied to cover up the truth?

Update:  Well look who has decided to weigh on the "rumors" as well: 

I love my Bristol! My straight-shooter is one of the strongest young women you'll ever meet. I have to say this as a proud mama: right up there with their work ethic and heart for those less fortunate, my kids' defense of family makes my heart soar! As you can imagine, they and my extended family have experienced so many things (liberal media-driven) that may have crushed others without a strong foundation of faith, and I'm thankful for our friends' prayer shield that surrounds them, allowing faith to remain their anchor. Thank you, prayer warriors! I love you!

She then links to the Brancy post above.

Okay so stories about divorce are important enough for both Bristol and Sarah's ghostwriters to weigh in on but nothing about the drunken brawl that is all over the internet and television?

In the immortal words of the Bard,  "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

"Lady" being used in its broadest sense of course.
