Bristol Palin: 'My Mom Did Not Force Me to Go on 'DWTS''

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 6th 2010 08:47AM

Bristol Palin is firing back at Margaret Cho, after the comedienne and fellow 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant claimed Sarah Palin made her daughter appear on the show.

"I will give my friend credit for creativity, and extra points for getting so many 'facts' wrong in so few sentences," Bristol wrote on her Facebook page.

"Let me be blunt: my mom did not 'force' me to go on 'DWTS.' She did not ask me either. The show approached me. I thought about it. I made the decision," she continued.

"It saddens me that people would think that my mom would 'blame' me for anything that occurred in the 2008 election--much less 'harshly" and "openly.' I think that canard (there, I said it again), has been floating around since then also," she added.

Bristol decided to speak up because she wants to defend her mother.

"Why do I want to set the record straight? Because it is this type of hurtful and false narrative that people promote to make my mom look bad. For 20 years my mom had my back--and for the rest of my life I will have hers."

The teen mom also invited Cho to speak to her directly. "If you ever have a question, call me girlfriend. Don't ever rely on "sources" who claim to know me or my family. You will be taken every time."

Palin even took a shot at Margaret's politics. "If you understood that commonsense conservative values supports the right of individuals like you, like all of us, to live our lives with less government interference and more independence, you would embrace us faster than KD Lang at an Indigo Girls concert."

The comedienne responded to Bristol's remarks on her Twitter account. "The only reason Bristol is so freaked out and everyone is asking me to retract what I said is because they know its true."

On Nov. 29, Cho blogged about a rumor that Palin's daughter was only competing in the reality TV dance competition because her mom pushed her into it so she could score political points for a possible White House run.

"Sarah supposedly blames Bristol harshly and openly (in the circles that I heard it from) for not winning the [2008] election, and so she told Bristol she 'owed' it to her to do 'DWTS' so that 'America would fall in love with her again' and make it possible for Sarah Palin to run in 2012 with America behind her all the way," Cho wrote.

"to live our lives with less government interference and more independence" - unless it has anything to do with a woman's right to choose, that is...

Dear God! Do these mutant spammers never take a friggin' day Off?

funny how even after cho is corrected, from the one person who would definitely know the truth, she still believes her "(in the circles that I heard it from)" sources, rather than her friend. shows how delusional people continue to be even when confronted with the truth. sad

I wish you and your sex crazied oriental cult would stop blabbing about how to get a young man and your "great life". Rather stick to subject and shut up about your boyfriend. All of us readers aren't sex starved cougars !!

Hey Hugh..a woman has the right to choose...she CAN choose to keep her damn legs closed or deal with the consequences

Lets move on people. Hope all of you have a great Christmas.

good for Bristol, answering Choo back. Bristol was a much better dancer, Choo is an idiot, I did not like her DWTS, and I like her less now. Choo is probably just trying to get publicity after her sad appearance on DWTS.

Let's face it. They aimed as low as they could with this immoral, talentless little ninny, and they still couldn't hit the target. Dancing with the "stars"? What a joke.

"They aimed as low as they could with this immoral, talentless little ninny, and they still couldn't hit the target." Which one? Brisol or Margaret?

By Enough Already

Bristol does not need to explain anything to anyone about her or her mother. Most intelligent thinking people can pretty well figure out why there is always criticism on all things Palin.

By john

Who is Margaret Cho???

By speech

TO BE A PALIN IS TO BE CRITICISED

I agree - do not respond to the nonsense. It doesn't deserve the effort. The Palin's are a beautiful, loving endearing family. It's the old, old story - attack because jealousy doesn't give you any other options.

Idiot!

I don't like Sarah Palin's politics at all, but the more I see of Bristol, the more I like her. Yes she made a couple of bad decisions (Levi being the worst), but her loyalty to her mother is wonderful. My guess is that DWTS approached her and her mother encouraged her to do it - encouragement is a positive thing - and she did it. She termed it a "life-changing experience" and I believe that, for her, it was.

By karo

I agree that Sarah Palin stupidity helped her lose the election. Bristol had better be making some money as she is an unwed mother. Palin ought to have more democratic views as many more unwed mothers are democrats than republicans.

balogna . the woman uses and then smiles. what a slug

By Lynn

Yes, because the Palins are probably the most ignorant, trailer-trash people in this country!
