Sarah Palin: “Haters are going to hate”

"No matter what they do, they're going to be criticized," Sarah Palin tells Salon, as her daughter's show gets heat

By Roger Catlin



“I’m just continuing my contribution to Fox,” she said with a smile, when asked if she had any upcoming TV projects, in her familiar singsongy voice.

She was more expansive when I asked about her reaction to “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp,” the latest reality show on Lifetime for her daughter, a former cast member of “Dancing With the Stars.” The show generated controversy this last week when 3-year-old Tripp apparently told his mom to “Go away, faggot.” (Bristol later said he was using a different F-word, but you can be the judge here.)

“It’s been great and I love the show,” she said. “I think it’s clever, it’s absolutely real and I’m proud of the girls.”

“I know that no matter what, Bristol or Willow or Track or Piper and someday Trig, no matter what they do they’re going to be criticized,” Sarah Palin said. “But it’s like Bristol said all along: ‘The critics are going to criticize, the haters are going to hate, so you might as well dance.’ That’s why she did ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and that’s why she’s doing what she’s doing today.

1. Of course she wouldn't see anything wrong with it. It's clearly how she was raised and how she

raised her kids. She knows nothing else.

2. So what she's doing today has nothing to do with money? Really? Really?

5. Was sitting out on the creek bank this morning,

getting in some fishing before it got too hot (108 Now). Kind of dozing and daydreaming and it struck me that the perfect venue for
Bristol, Levi and that whole circus is the Maury Show. Went through the whole show in my imagination....lie detector, dna tests, on camera confrontations, hooting audience; the whole magilla. Strange the workings of an unoccupied mind.

6. Doesn't she get it that she is the one teaching hate?
