Bristol Palin apologizes for sister Willow's homophobic posts on Facebook, slams 'haters'
Source: NY Daily News

Bristol Palin is on a winning streak on "Dancing with the Stars," but working hard to keep from losing in the court of public opinion.

Palin, 20, apologized Wednesday for her sister Willow's behavior, amid reports that the Palins had used homophobic and profane slurs on Facebook this week to bash their mother's critics.

-----

On Wednesday, amid furor over Willow's comments, Bristol took to her own Facebook page to offer an apology.

"Willow and I shouldn't have reacted to negative comments about our family. We apologize," she wrote. "On a nicer note, thank you for supporting the great competition in Dancing with the Stars!"

2. LOL, & she totally FAILS in clearing their names! It's not that they reacted, it's HOW they reacted
"Willow and I shouldn't have reacted to negative comments."

No, your mother has probably told you that you "shouldn't have reacted". Because it exposed how badly you've been brought up...

18. I've been trying to avoid all this, but just look at that language...
Complete and utter TRAILER TRASH. The nastiness, the ugliness, the shallow small mindedness... the poor grammar.
These are some truly despicable people.

3. Willow's behavior
What.... did the little breaking-and-entering home invasion party pig use the word "fag"?

Freeze dried trailer trash. The lot of 'em.

5. That is NOT an acceptable apology in my opinion
From Bristol's FB page

Bristol Palin: Willow and I shouldn't have reacted to negative comments about our family. We apologize. On a nicer note, thank you for supporting the great competition in Dancing with the Stars!

So....
1) She only apologized for 'reacting'. (Total: 14 words)
2) There is NOTHING there apologizing for the obscene words and the slurs they used.
3) Tacky to add on a plug for 'Dancing with the Stars' (Total: 16 words) onto a paragraph that is supposed to be an apology post.
4) And what does she mean by "On a nicer note,". Didn't she intend for the first half of the paragraph that contained her half-assed apology to be nice? LOL ;)

6. Also, "thank you for supporting the great competition in Dancing with the Stars" means...
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 01:30 AM by Turborama
She's thanking supporters of her competitors?

That word salad is reminiscent of her mother's mangled English. Maybe she's banned them from using FB and wrote that herself?

And where does she "slam haters" in this unapology, like the OP suggested?

On edit, here it is. The "slam" is written her mother's style, too...

7. The 'slam to haters' is a newer post.
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 01:31 AM by Tx4obama
Look at the first post on the FULL WALL view link below
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bristol-Palin/109696302423164?v=wall

It says:

Bristol Palin: Thank you supporters who continue to support. The haters are already pulling out all the stops this week to destroy.

8. "The haters are already pulling out all the stops this week to destroy."
Sounds exactly like the sort of thing her mom would say. In fact, I'm sure I've seen someone post a Twitter thing she wrote here that says that exact same phrase.

12. i am not
ignorant, backward white trash. and for that, i am grateful. i grew up around them ("the sticks") and i know them well. i escaped that destiny and went on to learn about civilization and culture. clearly, the palin family did not. i pity them. but i'm glad i'm not like them. i can spell, and read, and i know about history. how sad it must be, to not know of those things. i'm a black woman, and i'm very glad that i am not related to people like these. how tragic they are, and how much they represent the future of white america: it makes me weep. but then again, this is probably the "karma" of slavery, or something.

best of luck, "willow" and "bristol." you'll be so unhappy and lonely when you're about 35 of so. it's... well, "pathetic" is the word the greeks would've used for you.

What a revolting family and to think it is being "excused" as that is the way kids "talk" by the Teabaggers! Sheesh. The Palins are human vermin.

16. I fucking hate hillbillies.
If you cannot spell the most common of words or properly construct the simplest of sentences DO NOT FUCKING ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE VIA THE WRITTEN WORD! You're an idiot, and anything you have to say is meaningless.

23. Aka "love me for my dancing and forget our stupidity!"
oh the spin control of a marginally talented dancer with a control freak mother overshadowed by equally questionable social behavior.

Life in a bubble.

They hate being famous so much that they feel compelled to the world every detail.

25. Let's see:
Here we have a butterfaced, barely literate piece of white trash who's baby daddy ran out on her, and once Momma Palin's star power finally fizzles out, she'll probably end up in bumfuck Alaska married to an abusive alcoholic and pumping out another rotten kid every couple of years. That is if she isn't blown up in a meth lab accident or in jail for her tenth DUI.

Yeah, I'm just "hating." I'm soooooo jealous. :eyes:

26. Let the little bigots keep it up.
If anything it's just going to show most decent Americans that this family is trash and not worthy of stepping foot in the White house ever.
