and there is little doubt that the former Alaska governor would rather talk about anything else. But RealClearPolitics spoke with a source close to the Palin family, who wanted to provide their version of the events in question.
Consider the source: RCP's polls are great, but editorially speaking, I would be remiss in not advising you that it's more likely than not that the Palins will come out as the heroes. Aside from that, is this source an actual eyewitness, a family spokesperson -- or a family MEMBER?
According to previously published eyewitness reports, the fracas began when Track Palin, the former governors adult son, confronted a former boyfriend of his 20-year-old sister, Willow...But...the instigator was actually the former boyfriend...the young man in question tried to get in to the Hummer limousine after hed engaged in some unspecified questionable behavior.
With or without Willow?
On the previous night, (Sarah was) at a fundraiser benefiting...wounded veterans. That event apparently was fresh on Palins mind when...her husband and son were trading blows with their adversaries...Palin was yelling (in reference to her son), Dont you know who he is? Hes a vet! This...differs slightly but significantly from...Palin shouting, Dont you know who I am?
It also differs slightly but significantly from Dont you know who the Palins are? They're idiots!
At some point, Bristol Palin became involved in the free-for-all, but the Palin source took issue with a report suggesting she had brandished a mean right hook, noting that the eldest Palin daughter is left-handed.
That doesn't make the witness a liar -- Bristol might actually be ambidextrous. While I consider myself to be "naturally" left-handed because that's the hand I eat, write, and drink with, I do everything else right-handed, including throwing both objects and punches!

No..I'm not sure. But I DO thank my lucky stars that I'm a male and NOT married to Track.

Can't look. What's 'he's a vet' got to do with 'bending over' someone else's wife on the lawn?

Jesus. Ol' Track thinks he's Prince Joffrey or one of the dearly departed Hussein brothers.
