The web site reports that Palin's teenage daughter wrote the comments on Sunday night, when her mother's television show "Sarah Palin's Alaska" premiered on TLC. According to TMZ, a classmate of one of Palin's children published a Facebook update claiming that the show "is failing so hard right now."
Willow Palin reportedly unloaded on the student, calling him "so gay" and "such a faggot." She later demanded that the student "quit talkin shit about my family." According to screenshots obtained by TMZ, the 16-year-old called another commenter on the Facebook thread a "low life loser" and lashed out at multiple others, writing, "Sorry that all you guys are jealous of my families success and you guys aren't goin to go anywhere with your lives." -Huffington Post
Does Willow Palin realize that her family's reality TV show is on The Learning Channel (TLC) not MTV?
Why in the world would someone who knows that their every move is being watched have an out lash like this on the Internet and even go as far as to use gay slurs? It really is hard to fathom this kind of ignorance. I am sure that Sarah raised her better than that…right?
Her mother may be the next President of the United States and she is cussing and calling someone “such a faggot” on her own Facebook account? I understand that she was upset that people were reacting harshly to her family’s reality TV show, but come on! When you are in the spotlight you are always going to have critics. It just comes with the territory. You are a public figure and therefore as we have discussed in class you have less protection against hateful speech. You are only giving the "haters" more pleasure by lashing out and giving them the attention they want anyway.
I would expect this kind of behavior from let’s say…Snooki off of Jersey Shore, but not the daughter of a former Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential nominee. Are there any boundaries anymore? Has the Real World house become no different from the White House? With political figures now having reality TV shows I am not really sure that there is…

I'm guessing that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as far as Willow Palin is concerned. As I was reading Facebook thread I couldn't help thinking of Eric Cartman on South Park saying "screw you guys." And what a little trash mouth!
