Sarah Palin defends family over 'Rumble in the Tundra' fracas - and says liberal media to blame.

[atomic_joe2]

They’re calling it the Rumble in the Tundra. Two weeks ago the Palins, Alaska’s former first family, waded into a brawl at a party in Anchorage. Now, self-described “Mama Grizzly Bear” Sarah Palin has referred to the incident on Facebook, writing that she is “proud” of her eldest daughter Bristol, who is said to have punched the party’s host in the

Classy people, it seems. For such a devout taking-the-Bible-literal-Christian, she doesn't seem to have taken that whole "turn the other cheek" part to heart much.

I wonder what her comments would be if, oh, Malia Obama punched someone in the face? Something tells me it wouldn't be "hooray for family values!"

my thoughts exactly.

Tbh the "turn the other cheek" phrase has a totally different meaning from "be humble", but I highly doubt the Palins actually know that.

Track, an Iraq War veteran, spotted an ex-boyfriend of his sister Willow, 20, among the guests, and made known his distaste for the young man.

This story is incredibly vague about a great many things, such as exactly what or who started the altercation, who threw the first punch and what reason (if any) they had to do so, etc. But reading this, it *sounds* like Track Palin picked a fight with his sister's ex-boyfriend, for reasons that are extremely unclear. (He made known "made known his distaste for the young man"--wtf does that even mean?) Then again, who really knows, since this is all so vague. But if that IS what happened, it sounds pretty damned childish to me...and either way, the whole Palin family's behavior was about way, way, WAY out of line.

No one was arrested following the brawl, and no charges were filed against any participants.

Now THAT is a damned shame!

agreed. if this is actually what really happened (i.e. the ex didn't harass him first), he should've minded his own business and just avoided the guy.

gurl, as a descendant of Oklahoman/Arkansan hillbillies who were also fond of getting their drawers in a wad in public spaces, just own it already, ffs

Whoever tagged this with "Focus on the Family".....well played.

They named the kid Track.

That's something I can't get over either.

Their other son is named Trig. Bristol, Willow and Piper I get, but not Track and Trig.
