Is Bristol Palin making a lesbian joke by mentioning k.d. Lang & Indigo girls in Facebook reply to Margaret Cho?

Not to sure why Bristol Palin brings up k.d. lang & the Indigo Girls in her response to Margaret Cho's claim that her mom, Sarah Palin, made her appear on Dancing With the Stars, unless of course she is trying to start some crap.

Bristol writes on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/notes/bristol-palin/cha-cha-cha-to-cho-cho-cho-heres-a-hint-three-dog-night/174852705875956

To my friend Margaret Cho, if you ever have a question, call me girlfriend. Don't ever rely on "sources" who claim to know me or my family. You will be taken every time. And we need to talk. You say you "don't agree with the family's politics at all" but I say, if you understood that commonsense conservative values supports the right of individuals like you, like all of us, to live our lives with less government interference and more independence, you would embrace us faster than KD Lang at an Indigo Girls concert.

Hmmmm. What are your thoughts?

[HipChick]

1. Palin's facebook ghost writer wrote this..

same vein..same shit

[Safetykitten]

27. Yes, very true, a dullard like her could not write like that.

[whathehell]

2. Certainly sounds like it.... n/t

[TwilightGardener]

3. I don't know--have either the Indigo Girls or k.d. Lang been on the scene lately?

And what would they all have in common...:think:

[Ken Burch]

11. UH...they sing?

n/t.

[DURHAM D]

26. Makes me thing that her ghost writer must also be a lesbian.

... not to mention probably over 45.

[Ken Burch]

42. OMG...that's it...ELLEN is her ghostwriter...

:eyes:

[Lint Head]

4. It's amazing that someone so ignorant every learned how to

write much less type.

[Obamanaut]

14. Proofreading is your friend when poking fun at the writing/typing of

other folks. "...so ignorant every learned..."

[Lint Head]

15. Good catch.

[Motown_Johnny]

5. I think that whoever they hired to post for Bristol gets paid by the insult

[saveferris]

6. Yes she is

That is a swipe using two gay entertainers as her punchline.

Punch back.

[Codeine]

7. Bristol Palin can't write her own fucking name.

Jesus, now the fucking kids have writers. :puke: This is why I liked WebTV -- it kept the hillbillies off the real internet.

[Systematic Chaos]

8. I think somebody got paid way too much to write that "joke" for

Little Miss Bridiot.

[petronius]

9. I suspect that whichever Palin family ghostwriter is on duty today has decided that

Bristol needs to be the 'hip, young, sassy' face of the clan. I'm sure the persona will change when the next shift comes on duty...

[prolesunited]

20. Yep

Especially after that drivel about Olbermann with the $10 words was mocked mercilessly the other day. I guess they got the message about using the speaker's voice, not that this nails it yet as it is clearly an adult trying to sound cool.

With the constant changes in tone, she either has multiple personality disorder or the monkeys are working overtime.

[Ken Burch]

10. "Survey Says: Yes!"

(Or, I supposed, it could be a VEGETARIAN joke...but that's a stretch...)

[hlthe2b]

12. That this is written by Grizzly Bear Palin's ghost writer, RAM

(Rebecca Mansour). 'Don't doubt the whole family is homophobic, but Bristol can hardly string a coherent verbal sentence together. Do you really believe she wrote this?

[Botany]

13. 3 things

1) Gay slur w/ out a doubt
b) If Bristol wrote that then I one the Heisman trophy @ Ohio U.
"but I say," :rofl:
iii) Although, both the Indigo Girls and k.d. Lang are big talents neither have been
in the public eye for years so I doubt young Ms. Bristol is very familiar with any of
the 3.

[Blue_In_AK]

16. Another Rebecca Mansour post.

She's been really busy lately.


If you want to hear how Bristol really thinks, check out Immoral Minority http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2010/12/for-those-who-may-still-find-themselves.html

[Dawson Leery]

17. This was written for her.

Seeing how willfully small their world is, how would Bristol and her trash bag family know who K.D Lang is anyways? Gretchen Wilson? Of course, since Gretch the Wretch is lowly trash too, that the Palins would know.

[SidDithers]

18. Looks that way to me...nt

Sid

[RandySF]

19. Bristol's ghostwriter is wrong about one thing

Her mom's "values" do not support the rights of all to live free of government intervention, especially those who are gay.

[prolesunited]

21. Yep, they directly interfere with the most personal freedom of all

The freedom to openly love who you want.

[Stevenmarc]

22. LOL the concept that Bristol could write this is like expecting an orangutan to recite Shakespeare

[DefenseLawyer]

23. Faster than Noel Coward at a Cole Porter concert!

The Palins need some younger writers.

[RandySF]

24. Is Bristol's ghostwriter the family ghoswriter

Bristol Facebook rant refers to "commonsense coservative" just like Sarah's tweets.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Really? Outlawing gay sex and birth control = "less government interference"?

Bullshit.

[Strelnikov_]

28. 19 yr. old . . kd lang . . Indigo Girls . . yea, right n/t

[tammywammy]

29. It's nice that Sarah shares her ghostwriter with Bristol. n/t

[Lex]

30. OM God that is just a sad little joke about lesbians who are

old enough to be her mother. Or grandmother, if they were Palins.

[pokerfan]

31. Ah yes, those "independent" Alaskans

... if you understood that commonsense conservative values supports the right of individuals like you, like all of us, to live our lives with less government interference and more independence...

No state benefits more from federal largess than Alaska: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/19/alaska-stimulus-hypocrisy_n_687482.html

[AsahinaKimi]

32. This family gets too much press...

Does any other family get this much press?

[Marr]

33. No twenty-year-old would make a KD Lang *or* Indigo Girls reference.

I suspect it's their 30-something PR agent who's making the gay joke.

[HughBeaumont]

34. Hoo boy . . .

It saddens me that people would think that my mom would "blame" me for anything that occurred in the 2008 election--much less "harshly" and "openly." I think that canard (there, I said it again), has been floating around since then also. I will set the record straight, though my mom already did in her bestselling book "Going Rogue"; there were a number of reasons President Obama won in 2008, but the primary reason was that the economy was starting to falter and the majority of voters thought Obama could do a better job than my mom and John McCain. It turns out, two years later, the majority of voters were wrong, but we can talk about that another time. The point is, I seriously doubt anyone who considers herself a student of American politics truly believes I impacted even one vote in that election.

Oh, we don't, "Bristol". Yer mum did a right fine job of that herself, and despite the opinions of even many on this board, your mom couldn't get more than 50% of the vote now or two years from now. Your mother and all people who continue to believe "Trickle Down" works are about as lunatic as your average insane asylum resident.

The majority of voters were wrong? If McCain and your shit-stupid mom took the reins, we'd be looking at Great Depression II: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. You talk about history - you may want to read up on what happened the last time a Repub president tried to use ultra-conservative solutions to fix an arch-right/Corporation-created economic disaster.

35. Who is Bristol Palin ? n/t

[MiniMe]

36. Yes, because conservative support gays (see DADT)

[HipChick]

37. Why is an unmarried teen mother of a failed VP Quitter Ex-Governor

of any relevance?

[TexasObserver]

38. Written by someone older than Bristol's parents.

And, YES, it was a clear lesbian slam. Probably the four biggest "lesbian" buzz terms used by the right are (1) Ellen Degeneres, (2) Rosie O'Donnell, (3) KD Lang, and (4) Indigo Girls.

Sounds like Dennis Miller.

[LawnLover]

39. My thought is that Bristol Palin doesn't go anywhere near facebook

and this is all manufactured bullshit.

[Ramulux]

40. How is that anything other than a gay joke

I love how the Palin daughters can use gay slurs and disparage gays and everyone thinks its totally cool. She is also being obviously insulting considering conservatives are openly hostile to homosexuals and Margaret Cho is bisexual.

[donco6]

41. It's just lame, but yeah, it's there.

I seriously doubt that Bristol Palin has ever heard k.d. lang (one clue, not spelling it right, because it's very specific). Someone fed this to her. Someone older.

[Lorien]

43. those same "conservative values" that brought us Homeland Security and warrentless

wiretapping? Sorry Bristol board, I'll pass.
