This is not intented to be an attack on Palin. ============================================ Baby talk floods WRKO A funny thing happened when WRKO conservative talk host Reese Hopkins told listeners 17-year-old Bristol Palin's pregnancy makes him question VP hopeful Sarah Palin's parenting skills. Angry Republican listeners blew up his e-mail box, claiming Bristol's condition is family business. And Hopkins, who talked extensively on-air about the suspicious Gloucester teen pregnancy pact, was a little shocked. "You called these girls sluts, you said their parents were horrible," he said of his listeners. "But in 125 e-mails I have stacked in front of me, you're telling me [Bristol Palin's pregnancy] is not a big deal." Hopkins went back to the e-mails he received on the Gloucester story and compared them to his Palin e-mails. He found 70 listeners who flip-flopped on the teen pregnancy issue and invited them to explain. |

Teen accidentally getting knocked up by her fairly steady boyfriend - oops, been there, done that. Teens signing a pact to all get pregnant and one of them using a homeless 20 something to do so - hmmmm, not where I went to school. VERY different situations. I wouldn't presume to judge individuals in either case without at least a few more details, but I can tell you which situation I understand and which one makes me go "WTF?!?!?!" I hardly call it a double standard to judge the two situations differently. Probably 30% of the population has sweated out a late period at some point in their early sex life prior to marriage. Hardly the same as riding a hobo bareback praying this one is a babymaker. Typical liberal blindness seeing totally different things as the same. |
