Really... This is News?

It's hardly surprising that TMZ has jumped at the chance to embarrass Willow Palin for calling another teenager names. It is also tediously predictable that gay progressives immediately savaged her for using the exact same pejoratives and slurs that they themselves used at that age, and which many of them still utter now in their own fits of rage, or for other Very Important Reasons, like someone giving them a dirty look.

Human beings are imperfect. Hormone- and judgement-challenged teens (i.e., all of them) even more so. They use harsh language to attack one another.

Big effing deal.

The simple fact of the matter is that the legion of the easily offended who are now going after this teenager for, well, being a teenager, are generally far more offensive, hateful, and vicious than the child they attack. Teenagers use such language as they off-gas raw emotion without a filter. The savages who attack her, however, are calculating in their assaults, and more chronologically mature, if nothing else.

They revel their own intolerance and viscous evil, and then are dim enough to think it is intolerance of their sexuality that leads to them being shunned.
