I hadn't even heard about this Facebook nonsense until reading your post, Boz. But upon further investigation, I found screenshots of the entire thing, and read every vapid post by these idiot kids (the Palins and the others..."Tre" and "Matt" and "Bridgette," just to name a few of my favorites). gawker.com/5691856/willow-palins-homophobic-facebook-freakoutIt's all really quite entertaining in the way that watching Jersey Shore while being hit with a Lousiville Slugger is entertaining. I especially enjoy one of the comments at the bottom: "All that I took away from this is that Alaska's education system has been woefully neglectful in teaching these kids the difference between 'your' and 'you're.'" (For the record, I would be just as amused by this even if it wasn't the Palin kids. I get some kind of sick pleasure out of reveling in how mind-numbingly dumb most of America's teenagers are. Why just yesterday, I read a similar Facebook thread involving some girl I haven't spoken to since high school and her boyfriend—now ex-boyfriend, and let me tell you, it was not a pleasant break-up—who I've never met.)

That thread could really use a little "Please remove this ad-hominem attack".

Former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough had some comments on the "former half-term Governor of Alaska": Excerpts What man or mouse with a fully functioning human brain and a résumé as thin as Palin’s would flirt with a presidential run?
If Republicans want to embrace Palin as a cultural icon whose anti-intellectualism fulfills a base political need, then have at it. I suppose it’s cheaper than therapy.
But if the party of Ronald Reagan, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio wants to return to the White House anytime soon, it’s time that Republican leaders started standing up and speaking the truth to Palin.
The most-talked-about figure in the GOP is a reality show star who cannot be elected. And yet the same leaders who fret that Sarah Palin could devastate their party in 2012 are too scared to say in public what they all complain about in private. Enough. It’s time for the GOP to man up.

Yikes, I wonder what Joe REALLY thinks about Palin....
That said, Palin and her supporters will probably just brush it off by calling Joe a sexist.
