When you mess with the LGBT community, you mess with ME, Bristol Palin

The below is a transcript from my Dec 30-31 show that can be heard at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lesersense/2013/12/30/special-on-snowden-and-bristol-palin-replay-of-pat-buchanan-and-bill-richardson . The Bristol Palin piece airs starting at somewhere between 8-11 minutes. It's worth hearing the radio version for the humorous sound effects I added.

Weighing in on the Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson’s homophobic statements, Bristol Palin said in a post on her blog:

““Everyone needs to leave Phil Robertson alone for expressing his beliefs, I think it’s so hypocritical how the LGBT community expects every single flippen person to agree with their life style. This flies in the face of what makes America great – people can have their own beliefs and own opinions and their own ways of life.”


Bristol continued saying:

“I hate how the LGBT community says it’s all about ‘love’ and ‘equality.’ However, if you don’t agree with their lifestyle, they spread the most hate. It is so hypocritical it makes my stomach turn. They need to learn how to respect others’ opinions and not just jump to the conclusion that everyone who doesn’t support homosexuality and gay marriage is homophobic.”


Folks, I want to remind you of a couple of things about Bristol Palin. First, she goes on paid speaking engagements to promote abstinence to teens. She and those who believe like she does want abstinence stressed instead of safe sex and birth control in order to combat teen pregnancy. They think that emphasizing safe sex and birth control encourages teens to have sex and that’s bad.

Bristol made $260,000 speaking on abstinence in 2010 alone.

Oh yeah and one other thing, Bristol became pregnant in high school at age 17, having had sex with her boyfriend, Levi Johnston.

That is who is calling gay people hypocritical for not wanting someone to say bad things about them.

A highly paid abstinence advocate who got pregnant in high school.

You can’t make this stuff up.
