Bristol Palin fired back at Keith Olbermann via Facebook over his labeling her “Worst Person In The World” on his TV show for her advocacy work promoting abstinence.

Olbermann calls Palin a “hypocrite” for being a teen mother and preaching abstinence. As ludicrous as that charge is, Bristol lays out a very compelling argument for why he’s an asshole misguided.

Recently, a left wing commentator named Keith Olbermann attacked me for being a spokesperson for abstinence education and for being an Ambassador for the Candies Foundation, which promotes teen pregnancy awareness and prevention education. He went so far as to call me “the worst person” he knows, apparently, for my efforts to educate teenagers about the real world risks of premarital sex.

Accusing me of hypocrisy is by now, an old canard. What Mr. Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with insincere incredulity. Mr. Olbermann fails to understand that in order to have credibility as a spokesperson, it sometimes takes a person who has made mistakes. Parents warn their children about the mistakes they made so they are not repeated. Former gang members travel to schools to educate teenagers about the risks of gang life. Recovered addicts lecture to others about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse. And yes, a teen mother talks about the benefits of preventing teen pregnancy.

I have never claimed to be perfect. If that makes me the “worst person in the world” to Mr. Olbermann, then I must apologize for not being absolutely faultless like he undoubtedly must be.

To Mr. Olbermann let me say this: you can attack me all you want. But you will not stop me from getting my message out about teen pregnancy prevention. And one day, if you ever have a daughter, you may change your mind about me.

Bristol Palin

Anyone with a fully functioning brain can understand that the best spokesperson for a cause is a person who understands that cause first hand. Bristol can speak about the difficulties of being a teenage mom — because she is one. She can encourage kids to hold off on having sex, because she didn’t and ended up with a kid.

Personally, I don’t think the abstinence only message is one that works. I think abstinence should be the primary message, but I also think young people need to learn how to use protection as well.

At the end of the day most teens are going to have sex. All the preaching in the world isn’t going to change that. I’m only 29, so it wasn’t that long ago that I was a teenager myself. I remember what it was like. I was taught abstinence as were my friends, but that didn’t stop any of us from having sex early and often. Was that dumb? absolutely. Are kids dumb? Absolutely.

We may want a world where kids don’t have sex until marriage, but unfortunately that isn’t the world we live in. Bristol Palin is a living example of that.

However, I think Olbermann is a jackass for attacking Bristol for her work. She has a better chance of making teens think twice before having sex than anyone I know, because she’s living the consequences of teenage sex.

So kudos to Bristol for standing up for herself and the good work she’s doing. She should take comfort in the fact that most people were watching O’Reilly and didn’t even see Keith Olbermann call her the “Worst Person.”

This is so extreme that I really can’t explain it to you. It’s beyond the pale and one of the most outrageous things I’ve ever seen. It has to do with Barack Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings, founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).

This is not about gays or gay rights, this is about teaching 14-year olds how to stick their fist up a classmate’s ass and whether or not they should “spit or swallow”. I know this is uncomfortable stuff for some people to read, but imagine what it must be like for school kids to hear.

Big Government has all the gruesome details. They have the actual audio of GLSEN activists instructing 14-year olds on the finer points of fisting.

From the AP:

At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.

A virus that causes cervical cancer is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection in teen girls aged 14 to 19, while the highest overall prevalence is among black girls—nearly half the blacks studied had at least one STD. That rate compared with 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-American teens, the study from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

About half of the girls acknowledged ever having sex; among them, the rate was 40 percent. While some teens define sex as only intercourse, other types of intimate behavior including oral sex can spread some infections.

What this really means is that parents need to quit kidding themselves about their kids. I don’t care how many “promise rings” you buy or what kind of promises of saving themselves for marriage are made, most likely your kids are having sex.

Encouraging abstinence is obviously a good thing, but acknowledging reality is also important. Parents need to quit being shy about discussing these issues openly. Teens should be taught about the importance of condom use and how sexually transmitted diseases are spread.

I understand that some parents are uncomfortable with their child’s school teaching them about sexual issues, but if that’s the case it’s extremely important that parents discuss these issues at home.
