Bristol Palin Facebook Comment Controversy

During the premiere of "Sarah Palin's Alaska", Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's second child and eldest daughter, posted a number of comments on the Facebook page of a boy named Tre, who went to school with the Willow Palin, Sarah Palin's third child, after he wrote a status update that read, "Sarah Palin's Alaska, is failing so hard right now." Some of Bristol's comments include "You're running your mouth just to talk shit" and "Talking shit cause you have nothing else going for you." Willow Palin also made a number of comments using homophobic slurs such as "Haha you're so gay, I have no idea who you are" and "Tre stfu. Your [sic] such a faggot".
