Boy, what I'd give to be at the Palin family Christmas.....

[brooklynite]

[The_Casual_Observer]

1. "Gotcha!"

[MikeydaDog]

2. Stupid, violence and guns. Wouldn't find me anywhere near that garbage. Nt

[brooklynite]

4. Well, yes, but understand they serve up a mean turkey.....

[crazycatlady]

15. Wouldn't they serve moose?

[brooklynite]

16. ...

[crazycatlady]

21. How did I forget that?

[democratisphere]

29. redumbliCONs. There are NO WORDS!

[lindysalsagal]

46. Turkey with 27 gunshot wounds? I'll pass.

[Irish_Dem]

3. He ordered the police to lay down their weapons and called them names.

After he beat up his own father.

No words.

[DrDan]

50. called them "peasants" . . . he apparently shares these feeling of entitlement with trump

[Irish_Dem]

53. A glimpse into the Palin family arrogance.....

We the people are lower life forms in their minds.

[onethatcares]

5. Imagine if you will

a dimension where the Wasilla Hillbillies are second in succession to command our country. Jesus wept.

[Hekate]

8. I know a couple of Republicans who did not vote for McCain because Sarah Palin nt

[onethatcares]

9. there are probably

a lot more that voted for McCain because of her. Wink,wink

[lunatica]

10. yeah. The ones who ran his campaign

[Hekate]

18. A retired Sheriff and his wife in my town, actually

[Tipperary]

6. Very very sad.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Wait, Track Palin called the POLICE "peasants"?

That is just too ironic coming from a member of this whacked-out, white-trash family.

[nolabear]

25. I can guess at that some kind of medication he was on.

And it ain’t aspirin.

[Mariana]

34. His mother was mayor of the town and governor of the state.

Maybe he imagines that's just like being royalty, and he fancies himself the Crown Prince of Alaska.

Or, maybe that's how his mother refers to police officers.

[phleshdef]

11. As much as I loathe Sarah Palin, I find no satisfaction with this kind of sad, awful stuff.

[JenniferJuniper]

13. She blamed Obama the last time her son assaulted someone

She's as much a piece of shit as her son.

[phleshdef]

17. She is a piece of shit. I think I made that pretty clear in my post.

But I'm not gonna get all giddy because of dysfunctional family and drug problems that could have led to a man having to kill his own son. That isn't what our side is suppose to be about.

[ecstatic]

45. There had to be another way to de-escalate the situation. Why would anyone point a gun at

his/her child? That's crazy! Maybe next time, Todd should point the gun at his own head as a means of calming his son down.

[Miigwech]

23. I agree, the kid has needed help since they sent him into the Army

... he has mental issues and now has very serious addiction problems. But Sarah 'the idiot' Palin believes in praying away her son's problems so chances of him getting the help that he is crying out for, are never going to come from that family.

[bluestarone]

12. interesting to see how he gets out of this

Oh maybe not. his name is Palin so we already know this

[RandySF]

14. Nahh

The details suggest Track has something going on that needs treatment.

[gibraltar72]

19. Some coke

would get you in.

[Blues Heron]

20. Richie - my son, my enemy

Anybody remember that readers digest WOD piece from the 70s?

[PJMcK]

22. I'm sure if you showed up with a gift, they'd invite you into their house

If you hang back and nurse a drink, you could turn on your phone and record the whole thing.

You'd be rich after you sold the video!

I'm laughing just thinking about it.

[lunasun]

24. Rec for republican christofamily values . You betcha

Is this Obama 's fault again ?

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

26. A Very Palin Christmas!

I wish I had the access to the resources to do parody Christmas special. TBS would be showing it as a 24 hour marathon instead of A Christmas Story.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Meth?

[oberliner]

28. What is Willow up to?

She seemed to be the most together of the bunch.

[guillaumeb]

30. GOP family values?

So Palin was armed and confronted the police. Imagine if he had NOT been white. What would the likely outcome have been?

[jmowreader]

31. I think I know what the arraignment is going to look like

[lpbk2713]

32. " ... on some type of medication" ... riiight.

You betcha.

[Ken Burch]

33. They'll blame feminists, gays, Muslims and ALL Obamas(including Sasha, Malia and the dog)

(and under their breath, they'll blame the Jews).

[tblue37]

42. The Obamas have two dogs for the Palins to blame. nt

[Ken Burch]

44. And they'll blame the media for not knowing about the OTHER dog.

n/t.

[madinmaryland]

35. Well, there really isn't much to do in AK during the winter other than...

drinking, etc. It's no wonder that Moose appear to be such angry animals..

[CanonRay]

36. Better wear body armor

[Historic NY]

37. Wassilla hillbillies....maybe there will be gunfire.

[Kaleva]

38. Never, ever pull a gun on somone unless you are willing to use it.

It's apparent Todd actually had no intention of shooting his son but having a gun, loaded I assume, could have led to the death of 1, 2 or even all three of them.

[LunaSea]

39. Much like their Thanksgiving probably...

[Ilsa]

40. What would baby Jesus say?

I wonder if they bailed him out? You know, with it being Christmas and such.

[tblue37]

41. He called the police peasants. That is the attitude of entitlement that

the Palins have developed and nurtured in the entire family.

[Codeine]

43. You can take the family out of the trailer park. . . nt

[PeaceNikki]

47. I'm with The Rude Pundit on this. I have nothing but pity for the Palins.

Honestly, now that Sarah Palin is a negligible presence in politics and no threat to the nation, I have nothing but pity for what her family is going through. Track was in Iraq. It fucked him up. Even his mom admitted that.

War and domestic violence are not things I can find humor in.

[MrsCoffee]

48. Track went to Iraq to avoid jail.

Drinking, drugs, vandalism (supposedly cutting brake lines, deflating tires and breaking mirrors off 44 school buses).

He was already fucked up by his parents who now blame Obama for their son’s behavior.

There is no humor in any of that, but I can’t seem to muster much pity for Sarah.

[PeaceNikki]

49. None of that impacts my empathy for what they are going through.

Not even a little.

It's no less tragic than McCain's illness.

[DinahMoeHum]

51. Well. . .

[Orange Free State]

52. I would not wish this on any family...

...at any time. A father felt he had to defend himself from his own son with a gun. He could not bring himself to pull the trigger. Schadenfreude begets bad karma, so I hope for the healing of that family.

Let’s not all become hateful fools, there is already one Republican Party.
