In reply to the discussion: Bristol Palin Receives Death Wishes Over Obama Blog Post [View all]denvine
(842 posts)15. Death wishes or threats are beneath us
I agree, as much as I disagree with what the Palin family stands for, mostly publicity, it is counter productive to wish her and her child death wishes. How does that make us better than them. You can disagree with what she says and even make fun of the hypocrisy of it, such as fathers helping to shape their kid's worldview. That is hypocrisy in two ways, she's not with Levi, and does she think she has a world view? But to wish her death goes too far.

Apparently "we" do, going by most of the other responses. Stay classy, DU; ugh. (nt)

Lots of talentless reality show stars like Bristol and Snooki get death threats.
