OMG! Hollywood Liberal to Bristol Palin: ‘Your Mother’s a Whore. She’s the Devil.’ UPDATE: Gay Trig-Truther Loves Levi UPDATE: Heckler Says He’s ‘Ashamed’; Also: Is Bristol Really a ‘Homophobe’?

Posted on | September 23, 2011 | 53 Comments

Oh, the wonderful Civility™ of liberals! Bristol Palin went to a cowboy-themed restaurant/bar in West Hollywood, where she rode a mechanical bull while a reality-show camera crew shot video. Some guy at the bar shouted: “Did you ride Levi like that? Your mother’s a whore!” And when someone asked him, “What was that about?” the dude replied, “Her mother’s a f–king whore. She’s the devil.” It got worse from there. The action begins at about the 1:40 mark:

Bristol was criticized for asking the heckler if he was gay: “Is it because you’re homosexual?” Even though it turns out her gaydar was accurate, apparently it’s considered “homophobic” to make an issue of someone’s sexual orientation after they call your mother a f–king whore. (The etiquette of Civility™ is kinda complicated.) The very gay heckler, a 47-year old consultant named Stephen Hanks, seems to be either a Daily Dish reader or a Joe McGinniss fan or both. Hanks told TMZ: “I just don’t like that family. . . . Kinda felt good to get it off my chest. . . . I’m very passionate about politics . . . And I’m passionate that these people are very dangerous. I acted upon my feelings and I would do that anytime, anywhere. . . . She comes from a home, in my opinion, where gays are made fun of, where blacks are probably made fun of. . . . They’re trash. . . . She’s a racist homophobe in my opinion.”

When asked what he’d say to Bristol if given another chance, Hanks answered: “Your mother’s a media whore and a money-grubbing whore and a Dominionist who is evil and dangerous for this country — that’s what I’d say to her.”

It’s the New Motherf–ing Tone!

UPDATE: Thanks to Chris Jefferson, Brent Mohrman, and others on Twitter for pointing out that Stephen Hanks (a) appears to be a Trig Truther who (b) had a “SickOfPalin” Twitter account he’s since deleted, and is (c) like all gay liberals, a huge fan of Levi Johnston:

UPDATE II: Although Stephen Hanks deleted his “SickOfPalin” Twitter account, he left an associated photo account online, so you can see how he pushed Trig Truther smears.

UPDATE III: Congratulations to the online sleuths who have confirmed that Palin-hater Stephen Hanks is the proprietor of Stephen Hanks Management, a Hollywood agency whose clients include actor Michael Vartan:

stephen hanks [sickofpalin]
I’m sitting in the dressing room at #thelateshow with my client Michael Vartan

What you see here is the sloppy recklessness of liberals: Hanks included his name on his “SickOfPalin” Twitter account and used that account to Tweet about his professional client, so as to dragoon the client into the service of Hanks’s anti-Palin politics.

Hanks called into “TMZ Live” and said he was “ashamed,” evidently having realized how atrocious his behavior was: “Am I ashamed of myself today, after watching ? Absolutely.” But then he doubled down on Palin-hating: “The sentiment remains the same. I think that they’re dangerous people, especially Sarah Palin.”

Notice during the “TMZ Live” segment how the host assumes that Bristol’s question to Hanks — “Is it because you’re a homosexual?” –is “homophobic,” which I think is a complete misunderstanding. Notice that Bristol says next, “And that’s why you don’t like my mom.”

Let’s understand that Stephen Hanks is not the first case of Palin Derangement Syndrome that Bristol has encountered, and that many of the most virulent Palin-haters (e.g., Andrew Sullivan) are gay. They hate Sarah Palin because they have convinced themselves that Palin is, as Hanks said, a “Dominionist” — a Christian theocrat — and therefore anti-gay. My belief is that Bristol wanted to have a conversation with Hanks to try to explain that his hatred is an irrational reaction to a false stereotype of her mother. And it is a false stereotype.

Prior to Sarah Palin’s elevation to the national stage in 2008, she was widely viewed in Alaska as a reform-oriented leader, admired for her courage in taking on the GOP Establishment and powerful special interests. She’s got a libertarian streak a mile wide, and the attempt to depict her as a pawn of the Religious Right must be seen for what it is: A political propaganda campaign of the Democratic Party, aimed at exploiting fear.

Palin is indeed a devout Christian, but the image of her as some kind of demented theocrat apparently originated with John Stein, the incumbent whom she defeated to become mayor of Wasilla in 1996. During that campaign, Stein claimed he was the target of anti-Semitic rumors (he’s not Jewish, but is in fact a Lutheran of German ancestry), and this claim has been woven into a distorted tapestry of mythology about Palin’s Religious Right politics. Stein and his liberal friends were among the original Palin-haters, and have been the source of all kinds of false allegations about Sarah Palin, including the discredited claim that Palin tried to ban books from the library in Wasilla.

Once you understand how this kind of stuff gets started, and understand the political and personal motivations of those who exaggerate such a demonized image of Palin, the vast distance between that image and the actual Sarah Palin becomes apparent. And I suspect Bristol Palin asked Stephen Hanks if he was gay as a prelude to trying to convince him that he has been deceived by these media distortions.

Perhaps Bristol wanted to make Hanks aware that there are many gay people — Tammy Bruce among them — who admire and support Governor Palin. But we’ll never know, because Stephen Hanks is so full of fear and sick hatred that it was impossible for him to have a civil conversation with Bristol.

I love how he accused her of making “derogatory” comments about him. Apparently, calling someone an f*ing whore isn’t considered derogatory where he comes from? And it’s not like she sought him out; he yelled insults across the room about her AND her mom.

What kind of “brave” adult yells derogatory remarks across a room at someone who was minding her own business?

It’s behavior like this that gives the gay community as well as liberals a really bad name… Whatever happened to civility? Whatever happened to live and let live? Or agreeing to disagree?

Oh, no… we have to stand up to people we hate. So how does it feel when that shoe goes on the other foot? Will Mr, Hanks like it when people yell that he’s an idiot raging queen while he’s out trying to have a good time?

Of course, then he’ll be in the right. But apparently he’s also in the right now, as well. Because those evil mother f*ing Palins DESERVE to be put in their place. They’re dangerous!

I can’t wait for President Palin’s swearing in. I really can’t… I won’t feel badly at all when these hateful lefties have brain bleeds and drop dead.

Will be heck to clean up, though, I’m sure, as there will be a lot of them…

BTW… isn’t the left continually saying how irrelevant Palin is these days? If she’s so irrelevant, then how can she be such a danger to us all?

I’m kinda thinking these folks are delusional. But then, they also think governments can run constant deficits and the debt will never need to be paid down.

When you’re that far gone, it’s no wonder you’re suffering paranoid fantasies about how dangerous a mother of five is…

Evidently the guy runs a talent management company:

USA

Phone: (323) 656-1884

Fax: (323) 490-1894

All I can find of his “Talent” is representing a guy named Michael Vartan who I guess stars in the
series “Hawthorne” with Jada Pinkett Smith (Will Smith’s wife)… All
email to him is directed to this tough guy above… I wonder if Mr Vartan is as big an a$$hole as his management?….

But the question is: Everyone in SoCal knows what’s in West Hollywood. So the show had to know. Therefore they placed Bristol in a very bad situation on purpose. There’s no way in hell this was a coincidence.

Has anybody called 323-656-1884 to ask if, indeed, he is the same Stephen Hanks in the video?

Because I think calling 323-656-1884 to verify such a fact would be necessary before you could, in all fairness, say that this OBNOXIOUS BOZO is indeed the same guy who runs “Stephen Hanks Management.”

It might be that “Stephen Hanks Management” is run by a perfectly nice human being who just coincidentally happens to share the same name — small world! — with the VICIOUS MONSTER who said those things about Bristol’s mother. But you wouldn’t be able to say for sure until you CALL 323-656-1884 and ask.

Can we not, please? Because if it’s not, oh, my, is that mean. If we’re sure, that’s one thing, but if not – that’s ugly.

I hate all of this. Bristol Palin (in my nothing like humble opinion) ought to be studying hard and raising her little girl, but if she wants to make money playing to reality TV, it’s none of my affair; no one ought to be rude to her, except on her own terms. But – supposing it’s not the same guy – are we really behaving well?

No problem with calling out bad behavior, I just would rather not be guilty of it myself.

Dianna, This info was posted on a message board after some sleuthing. TMZ found the guy and there’s a good possibility this info is correct. After numerous calls to the number with no answer during business hours it’s likely the guy is swamped. IF it’s not him, there would be a message on an answering machine saying its the wrong guy… It’s happened before in the case of the teacher in Wash…. (Wrong number was first let out on the interwebs)

As far as letting this clown know he screwed up, it’s a man thing. Nobody should get away with treating ANY lady in that manner unless that lady is Genine Garafolo, or Jane Fonda… (JK) it’s unacceptable…

I’m still wondering if the “reality show” staged this, because if they didn’t it was the DUMBEST move any reality show has done since Jersey Shore did……. well, anything.

Except that even a somewhat athletic woman would be hurt very badly in a fight with even a somewhat lazy man. Which is why “your mom is a whore” is a totally out of bounds opening line in a conversation with a girl. The manager should have escorted this clown out. He should have saved any nearby gentlemen the assault charges. Bought the girl a drink. Kiss. Smile. Problem solved.
