Mother of Palin's boyfriend arrest
 

Wow, Bristol picked a good family there :rolleyes:

My goodness. How terrible. Seems to be one thing after another with that group.

On a hijack note...has Bristol had her baby yet?

Whoaaa! I'm sure Sarah isn't pleased.

I wonder if this who thing is a good advertisement for her younger children.

Kinda like---"See, this is why we do NOT have sex before marriage. Look at the family you might get stuck with!" lol

That would scare me enough. haha

No, she hasn't but she is due within the next few days.

A lesson to all of those who still tried to point out Obama's drug usage (year and years ago that he readily admitted to...more than I can say for Clinton or Bush) as a reason why he shouldn't have been elected.

Stones and glass houses.

according to the link, Bristol is due Saturday...question is....is the wedding still on....?

Hmmm...

Barack Obama was accused of "palling around with terrorists" a claim never substantiated.

Sarah Palin's family can be accused of "palling around with druggies".

...wow.

At this point, I can only assume you're trolling with posts like this . . . seriously, this is a total non-issue, for a multitude of reasons, and has absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama or how some of his opponents tried to portray him. You really need to get over this mentality - you won!

Jesus "palled around with druggies" and prostitutes too. See I can totally add something irrelevant to the topic too.

If the roles were reversed, I wonder how much of a non issue this would be.

ETA: It's a non issue the same way Palin told us that her daughter's out of wedlock pregnancy was a non issue.

I hope you realize how ridiculous this whole line of posting is, or that you're just trying to get a rise out of people. Otherwise, it's a bit odd how much anger there is behind your political posting.

Also, you can't (with any credibility) opine about how much of a "non-issue" something would be when you're the one making the issue out of this.

ETA: You may want to take a page from GeekyPenguin, nittanyalum, or any number of other posters who obviously feel passionately about the issues, but who have been able to participate in reasonable political discussion.

I am not the one who said it was a non issue.

I am being very reasonable BTW...sorry if I am pointing out a double standard that will be a sore and sensitive subject to some.

Some of you knw good and gat dayumed well if the roles were reversed, people would want Obama's head on a platter.


So yeah I am calling a spade a spade...


Palling around with terrorists?

Palling around with a druggie...

How is it a double standard? If it were Obama or Biden we were talking about, it would be an issue to some people. The fact that it is Palin is an issue to some people (including you). It's a double standard as to individual feelings on the issue, just as there is a double standard on most issues involving politicians.


Would you be posting the same things you're posting about Palin if it was Obama? If not, then you're guilty of a similar double standard.

Roles reversed? So if Malia was pregnant by a kid who's mom was a druggie?

Why bring Obama into this at all? This thread had NOTHING to do with Obama, and in fact had nothing to do with Sarah Palin either.

Funny part is...I wouldn't be the one posting it....think about it.

Leave it to somebody ike Phigam to do....

Remember, Palin tried to play the guilty by association card....this is doing nothing but circling back around and adding to the list of black marks....including Troopergate

it has everything to do with Sarah....how could it not?

Her daughter is pregnant by someone who either he or his mom has drugs in the house using and or selling, your town is called the meth capital of the state and...did you forget she is GOVERNOR??

how do you NOT know these things about your future in laws???

But...you criticize Phigam, but you're doing the exact same thing.

and....?

And this is obviously a pointless endeavor. You don't want to entertain any opinion that might be different than yours, and you're still angry about the election process.

I would only suggest that you shouldn't criticize others for their double standards or extreme positions, since you're also employing double standards and holding to your own extreme positions (i.e. "I'm right and I won't seriously listen to anyone who disagrees with me.")

where are you getting this from???

angry about the electon process?

what???

Let me clue you on something more akin to sociology than politics...

Maybe what you don't realize, where I come from, you hear about shyte like this all the time.

And it is an ISSUE in the African American community.

They show this shit on shows like The Wire, the Corner in your rap videos so much that most people think that it is true about me and mine and happens to no one else.

It's an issue.

It's an issue that overcrowds the jails and empties schools

Its an issue that continues the cycle of violence that you see on the nightly news.



Sorry if I get pissy when I see this happen somewhere else, I give a strong opinion that no one gels with and someone tries to tell me it's a non issue.

Forgive me if when it's Average Joe's problem that he and his community have to deal with but when the governor of the state has the exact same problems happen, I should turn a blind eye.

Sorry if i come off a lil more passionate and 'angry" than you do, that is just who I am and it's not changing.

What are you talking about? Drugs? Teen Pregnancy? You know that is not just limited to the African American community.

go back and read the whole post of what I just wrote.

If you read it, you would know that I know that already.

Two totally different things.

Not everyone knows everything about their in laws, let alone their own families. HER DAUGHTER made the decision to get pregnant and get engaged to this guy. This has nothing to do with Governor Palin, nor does it have anything to do with her. She is associated with the lady's SON, not her.

Ahhh..we still don't know whose drugs (or what for that matter) it is now do we?

heck, I still think a red flag should have gone up when Levi opted to drop out of school among other things....moreso when "Mommy I m pregnant" came out in the Palin household.

When that happened I wonder if Sarah or hubby gave the Johnstons a thorough vetting process...heh

I'm not disagreeing that these types of stereotypes are an issue. You didn't get at any of this in the thread, though. It seemed like you were letting your distaste for Palin drive your postings in this thread. In effect, it seemed like your postings were completely political.

This post of yours makes sense to me, and the rest of your postings make sense in light of it.

Now you get it...thank you.

I know its sketch, but we all don't know the reason why he dropped out, so why not give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't want to be in a public school if everything like this was happening at once..imagine the ridicule he'd face. Maybe he's doing homeschooling or getting his GED?

Once again, parents have some control, but you can't watch your kids 24/7. It was her daughter's decision.

Not if your mom is abusing oxycontin:

Only think we can assume was it was her decision to have sex with him, getting pregnant and married...well..only they know.

As horrible as it sounds, at least it was a painkiller and not crystal meth or cocaine.

My money's on Levi and Bristol not getting married anyway. And now, who would look askance at the Palins for not wanting her to get tied to "that" family? (or further tied, I guess, besides a child/grandchild with shared DNA).

Its right up there...just as addictive in it's own right.

I never said I condoned it. Unfortunately, its unlikely that she's just a user and is probably selling it.

I dont disagree with you at all...and we just dont know all the facts as of yet...she could have easily been doing both.

I would just sit on it and wait to see what happens.

Speaking of family...didn't Obama's aunt break some laws?

Dude...it's not an issue.... ;)

A suggested name if the baby is a girl is Crystal... LOL...

And Bill Maher told the dude he could crash at his house if he found his way out to LA...

LOL. Immigrations a bitch.

What is the lesson? Is the lesson that Obama should have been arrested or is the boyfriend's mother now qualified to be President?

R.I.F.

Go read the thread.

FWIW - I thought the Obama/Ayers thing was really not an issue. Given the circumstances of their association, I didn't see it as a problem. However, the fact is that Obama chose to work with Ayers. I don't know that Sarah Palin chose this family for Bristol - I have a feeling if she had her druthers the whole family would have no association with her whatsoever.

I also thought any past drug use by Obama (or Bush, come to that) is also not a problem - everyone makes mistakes, and what matters most is what you learn from them.

I don't think whatever her daughter's in-law's legal problems (and she is innocent until proven guilty, btw) are really reflect on Sarah Palin. Now, if Obama were to want to appoint Ayers to an important position, or if Palin tried to get a job for the in-law, then it would be a problem. I know I wouldn't want to be judged by some of my in-laws! :rolleyes:

There is no DIL involved.
