Sarah Palin's future son-in-law says he's an Alaska 'redneck'

[Ichingcarpenter]

Source: Miami Herald

The boyfriend of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter describes himself as a "redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.''

The description appears in a profanity-laden entry posted by Levi Johnston in his MySpace account. The entry was made private over the weekend, but not before several media outlets published parts of it.

Johnston, 18, is believed to be the father of Palin's 17-year-old daughter Bristol's baby. On Monday, Palin revealed that the unwed Bristol is five months pregnant.

In a statement, Palin and her husband said the young couple will marry soon.

But in Johnston's MySpace entry, the teenager hints that fatherhood was not in his immediate plans.

Johnston says he is ''in a relationship,'' but on the question about how he feels about children he said: "I don't want kids.''

He also says his true love is ice hockey.

Here's part of his entry before it was made private:

'I'm a f--kin' redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes. But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s--t and just f--kin' chillin' I guess. Ya f--k with me I'll kick ass."

OK...... its hit the news feeds

[Tangerine LaBamba]

1. Let's just say it's the teenage testosterone speaking.

Let's just say that.

Kids post stupid stuff online, as we all know. Come to think of it, so do adults.

But, jesus god, if my daughter was knocked up by this kid, the last thing I'd be planning for her would be a wedding.

[Gman]

4. I'm sure the Palins think

he's a wonderful "christian" boy.

[Frisbee]

56. Probably got a religious tatoo somewhere... n/t

[Rebellious Republican]

60. Probably a swastika on his on his little pecker! Cause that way he

could say he is a true blue skin head! I know I am bad.....:spank:

[gateley]

5. True. Teens talk trash - but would the fundies want THEIR kid to talk like this? nt

[John Q. Citizen]

16. Word. And if her mom or dad gets mad at you, you get fired! So I doubt he

is breathlessly awaiting being a part of the family either.

Like sands through the hour glass these are days of Americas' lives.


Stop the drama vote Obama!

[zbdent]

27. "fired" should be the least of the worries ...

there's a lot of remote open space up there where you can be "disappeared" to that you won't be found until Spring thaw, if then ...

and don't forget, NRA member Guvernator Momma believes in shooting at things from the air ...

[smoogatz]

2. Well, good luck with THAT marriage.

Yeesh.

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. I'm glad the news feed have pick up on this story

He's a real jewel isn't he?

[skoalyman]

55. uncle dick may have to takem on a huntin trip and straiten him out lol

;-) :rofl:

[Mme. Defarge]

3. Don't forget Billy Carter, but ...

the notion of a shot-gun wedding at the White House may shed new light on why the Second Amendment is so sacred to the right-wing.

[Blue_Tires]

7. lol...

[TwilightGardener]

8. Sad. These are two immature kids. Why force a marriage, why force them

to put on a charade for the McCain/Palin ticket's benefit? These kids are now the property of the GOP.

[Myrina]

39. Unfortunately, that is a correct assessment.

n/t

[Zambero]

46. It's a political "CYA" marriage

That way Palin can properly refer to this fine young lad as her daughter's husband.

[astonamous]

52. I wonder if he was given a choice

between marrying the young lady or statutory rape charges.

[my2sense]

9. Wow - he's a piece of work

You mean Sarah approves of this relationship. Sounds like the daughter may be better off NOT hitching up to this fellow.

[RubyDuby in GA]

10. It's only right since his MIL to be is Redneck Barbie

If it wasn't so pathetic that she is their nominee, it would be freakin' hilarious!

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. Caribou Barbie and Hard drinking Ken n/t

Proof that Sarah Palin is not Trig's mother
So I'm sure most of you guys are aware of the controversy surrounding Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President in the 2008 election.

If you don't, get acquainted.

Anyway, while I was browsing Myspace, I decided to see if I could find anything about Bristol (Sarah Palin's oldest daughter).

It seemed like a fruitless search until I came across the profile of "Mercede" or "Saddie", sister of Levi, the father to be of Bristol's child.

I found a picture that she had labeled "Mommy Inlaw Trig and Myself".

19. Barack says I'm not supposed to pay attention

Nothing to see here, move along citizens . . .

[eagertolearn]

26. He said we should not bring the 17yr olds personal life into focus...but

the real story is not about that. The real story is that Sarah Palin covered up her daughters first pregnancy (Trig) for her own good. While being the possible candidate for VP it was better to say that "I had a baby with downs syndrome" (they knew all the pro life people would go wild with that one) versus saying my 16 yr old daughter got pregnant at age 16 (looks bad on moms credentials for parenting and abstinence only education). The reason they all came out and said Bristol is 5 months pregnant is that this would cover up her first pregnancy (I bet you anything that Bristol is more like 3-4 months pregnant). THE BIG DEAL ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS NOT THE BABIES OR PREGNANCIES ITS THAT SARAH PALIN CAN LOOK RIGHT AT ALL OF US AND LIE ABOUT IT ALL. THE LIE IS WHAT IS WRONG!!!! SHE CAN DO IT SO EASILY....JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE REPUGS. THIS IS WHAT IS SO WRONG. DO YOU ALL GET IT????

[notadmblnd]

30. I get it

[blossomstar]

38. Got it. Had it. Sick Bitch.

[spoony]

48. Did you find anything on her gynecologist's roomie's brother's best friend?

And has anybody checked their family tree? Maybe someone in the 1800s got a DUI or something juicy.

[notadmblnd]

49. no, but I'm still looking

I know some people like to keep their hands clean. However, I like digging in the dirt without my gardening gloves on.

[spoony]

51. The only problem with digging

Is that the dirt from the hole has to go somewhere, often onto people who have little to do with anything. I merely wonder how far out you're planning on casting the net, and how many bystanders' personal information you're willing to splash on the site.

[skoalyman]

57. I notice they both have big hair but oh so small in the noggin department

:P

[phillysuse]

59. Could Trig's mother be Mercedes Johnston and

not Bristol but not Sarah Palin either. Inquiring minds want to know.

We need at the very least Sarah Palin's medical records (as well as John McCain's).

[Hardrada]

17. Isn't this just a northern version of Dubya?

That played pretty well.

[deadparrot]

18. Link got scrubbed quickly...

:eyes:

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. Miami Herald Link still up....... found it....... got it right here

[WatchWhatISay]

21. He's apparently got more than a red neck

How about a red headed wood pecker?

[nichomachus]

22. Levi, dude,

I'm sorry, but that "don't want kids" ship has sailed -- and sunk.

[Endangered Specie]

23. Charming young lad... feel sorry for the baby

[Virginia Dare]

24. Guess you should have kept it in your pants homey...

sounds like a really fine ambitious young man. Sounds like another good candidate for cannon fodder for the repubbies crusades actually.

[Danascot]

25. Levi's statement on the upcoming nuptials

Marriage?! What f******* marriage? Hell, Palin's hot. She asked for it. If she didn't want her bun baked she shudda done somethin' when we wuz ruttin', right? I ain't chasing no rugrats, I got partyin' to do!


(Note - Lest anyone get excited, I made up all the above, got it?)

[not fooled]

28. Well. if Caribou Barbie gets booted off the ticket...

...what do you want to bet that the wedding is called off? Also, I'd like to know what leverage the Palins have on him and his family, to force the marriage. Seem a pretty ruthless bunch.

[all.of.me]

63. caribou barbie! rofl nt

[ashling]

29. Sounds like a fine young 'Murikan

who wants nothing more than to join the Army so he can serve his country.
:sarcasm:

[marshall]

31. Kids should be very careful about what they put on Myspace accounts

They can't tell what freaks may be out there reading their personal ramblings.
I'm sure this boy is getting a very rude awakening now that he is thrust into the spotlight against his will.

[POAS]

32. Kids should also be careful

about where they put there private parts.

Oh wait I think I'm not supposed to talk about that.

In fact I think I'm not even supposed to look at this thread!

[marshall]

40. they often are lured into putting their private parts somewhere because of what they posted

I'm sure this boy will be getting lots of emails from girls (an no doubt boys too) offering their services, thanks to the media attention and his foolish posts.

[Javaman]

33. A "rebel" without a clue. nt

[boomerbust]

34. Right Wing

Marriage material. My advise to Levi is to pull yourself up by your snow shoe straps and get to your local job service. Your mother in law will not allow any government sponge to support her daughter and grandchild. Good luck, "My Friend".

[JDPriestly]

35. Now -- this is off limits.

What does this kid's talk have to do with anything? Leave him be. His true love is ice hockey. He loves snow boarding. He is a normal teenager and precisely the reason that we need good sex education in our schools and churches that helps kids understand what their choices are and think them through.

Obama is correct when he says this is not about the children themselves. It's about issues. And one of those issues is sex education. The other one is how do families balance two careers and children?

The reason that the Palin teen pregnancy story is relevant is that she is typical of a lot of kids who get into the trap of early parenthood followed by drudgery in the workplace just to make ends meet. That's not the American dream. These kids deserve better.

Sarah Palin has not been able to help her own daughter set priorities and plan her life. How in the world is she going to do for American what she could not do with her daughter?

Of course, sexual abstinence during the teenaged years is best. That's not the issue. The issue is how do you help kids understand their choices and set their priorities? As a liberal, I believe that open discussion with children about all the facts makes it more likely that kids will make the right choices.

[Ichingcarpenter]

37. Hey, US magazine is doing a cover story on this too.

I just reported the news feed.

[JDPriestly]

47. On the boyfriend's website entries?

These My Space, etc. things are not to be taken seriously. As on DU, people float all kinds of fantasies. Should serious news media read the stuff and investigate -- yes. But this young man's imaginative boastings are not facts. Please.

That the daughter is pregnant is a story. It highlights a genuine social issue. That the teenaged boyfriend is typically fun loving and carefree and likes to depict himself as a macho guy. That's not a social issue.

[Ichingcarpenter]

54. Send your complaints somewhere else ........

Huffington Post now has the story.

[Auggie]

36. The front row of the Freak Show...

"When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat." -- George Carlin

It just gets more and more weird.

[AZ Criminal JD]

41. People responding to the OP are showing their age

They obviously don't know what kids put on their myspace accounts. This is mild compared with many.

[Ichingcarpenter]

43. US magazine's newest cover

[AZ Criminal JD]

61. I think I'll pass on the magazine

I get all the gossip and rumors I need from DU now. I used to come here for discussions on politics and social issues but posters seemed to have moved on from that.

[CRF450]

62. Amen, a huge number of them put so much crap on their pages...

Im sure it would throw alot of parents into an outrage.

[underpants]

42. The internet-from Bach to Levi Johnson

thank you Al Gore!!!

[Zambero]

44. Goober alert

The Gorilla from Wasilla?

[Buns_of_Fire]

45. I detect a future Assistant Undersecretary of Defense in a McCain administration!

Or at the very least an Assistant Chief of Staff for VP Mooseburger. After all, he's got a HUGE potential, from what I've read! :evilgrin:

[mitchum]

50. Know thyself

[goforit]

53. OK ....Bill O'Rielly picked John's running mate!!

[HopeHoops]

58. OH Give me a break!!!

Like anyone in Alaska knows what a loofah or falafel is? If it isn't made of moose, it isn't food.

<just for grins>

[True_Blue]

64. He's sounds so mature

Funny how rednecks are always pround of being rednecks.

[gauguin57]

65. Yeah, he's ready to get married. Uh-huh. Sure. Right.

Can't someone stop this debacle? I'd rather they raise the kid together, and save marriage for when they actually grow up!

[ckramer]

66. So the rightringer's daughter attracted to a POS

Good match!

[kitty1]

67. Looks like there'll be some trailers hitched alongside the limos..

at the wedding. A beer keg alongside the champagne fountain.
Should make for a fun nite. Maybe they'll get McCain to do the chicken dance at the reception.

[kitty1]

68. The shotgun wedding is to be taken literally out in those parts...

I'm sure there'll be lot's of fresh moose steak and plenty of ammo to go around.

[OhioChick]

69. Levi...

Welcome to the family of "family values." Sounds like you'll fit in perfectly.

[Darth_Kitten]

70. Great Baby Daddy material.........

really high I.Q. there as well. :sarcasm:

71. Prediction: full-blown tweaker within five years.

JMHO.
