That’s some good grassroots action. Let’s hope it works.
AP- A group of gay Boy Scouts, leaders and their families say they have 1.4 million signatures on a petition to the organization to end its ban on gay members. The Boy Scouts may consider reversing its policy during a leadership meeting. (Feb. 4)
Let’s see ladies (and gents). Who would you rather spend a romantic evening with, Rush or PBO? ‘Nuff said. Via.
I posted previously about Willow’s homophobic Facebook slurs, for which her sister Bristol has apologized.
However, today there is a report of new revelations , the type I tend to shy away from. They consist of teen hearsay, yet if true, illustrate, once again, how the “family values” Palin image is tarnished by hypocrisy, irresponsibility, and scandal.
If false, then Willow has been unfairly smeared.
So, rather than divulge the details, I’ll provide the link and you can decide for yourselves whether to read on or ignore it completely.
Willow is sixteen. She’s old enough to drive a car. The Palins have no qualms about putting her on display, whether on a fake reality show, in books, or on stage at political and non-political events. Therefore, they have exposed her to fans and hateful critics alike.
I am neither.

I am refraining from saying too much, since Willow Palin is so young, and I am so offended.
HuffPo has the screengrab, I’ll give you a sample of the text. Then go over there and read all about it:
Willow Palin reportedly unloaded on the student, calling him “so gay” and “such a faggot.” She later demanded that the student “quit talkin shit about my family.” According to screenshots obtained by TMZ, the 16-year-old called another commenter on the Facebook thread a “low life loser” and lashed out at multiple others, writing, “Sorry that all you guys are jealous of my families success and you guys aren’t goin to go anywhere with your lives.”
Either Mommy and Daddy Dearest didn’t teach their daughter properly, or are completely oblivious parents, or Willow is hanging out with and being influenced by some nasty little ignorami.
Somehow I doubt anyone will be jealous of the Palins much longer, nor will they go anywhere with their miserable, small-minded lives…. no matter how much fame and money comes their way.
UPDATE: I’d like to add this… Kids torment each other. Willow may have felt hurt, attacked or cornered, but that does not excuse the slurs she used.
