Little Tripp Palin Calls Aunt Willow a f****t on Bristol Palin’s Reality Show

"I'm doing a terrible job disciplining Tripp," Bristol Palin admits on her Lifetime reality show Life's a Tripp. And yes, giggling when your toddler calls his aunt a "f****t" is probably not a great way to let him know that's not a nice word.

Look, kids say the darndest things, and it's kind of funny when a child curses. But there's a difference between a precocious utterance of "fuck" and a homophobic slur. The complete lack of shame is especially embarrassing given that there were cameras filming it all — gay-friendly Lifetime cameras, no less.

Hmm, I wonder where Tripp learned to use "f****t" as an insult.

Wholesome, Christian family values.

And she is giving the President lectures on how to raise his children. Sarah needs to get her children and grandson off of the TV and into some parenting classes and counseling.

That was disgusting.

edit that out? Did they leave it in for cheap laughs or because they think thats acceptable on TV? To make Bristol and Co. look bad?( Not that the Klondike Kardashians need any more help making themselves look bad. They do just fine all by themselves.)
Seems a bit strange...

That's Bristol's kid, right? I can't keep all their names straight....and second...is "fuckwit" a homophobic slur?

I am not sure I heard the kid right.

I wish he could go to boarding school in Europe It's his only chance.
