Piper Palin Blocks Reporter From Sarah Palin On Bus Tour (VIDEO)

A reporter seemed to get too close to Sarah Palin for her daughter's liking during a stop in Philadelphia on the former Alaska governor's bus tour of the eastern United States earlier this week.

Piper Palin appeared to physically block a reporter when he welcomed her mother to the City of Brotherly Love and tried to ask her a few questions. The former governor herself did not shy away from engaging with members of the press in a clip of the action from local station My Fox Philly.

On Wednesday, Real Clear Politics relayed new details on Palin's bus tour:

Following her current "One Nation" tour of the Northeast, Palin will next journey to the Midwest, where Iowa will be front and center. Plans are still being drawn up, but she may visit the World Pork Expo in Des Moines.

During the third leg of her tour, Palin will travel to South Carolina and may also appear at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, where several other current and potential GOP White House hopefuls are scheduled to speak.

What kind of mother uses her little kid like a body guard? When does this kid go to school?

Um,. anyone watching the video with an objective eye (oh, I forgot what blog I was reading) can see it was Piper moving forward to block that reporter of her own accord. She seems willful, like most girls that age. No one is USING her. More blatant ridiculousness.

Oh, and genius, it's summertime. Children don't attend school in the summer. I assume you know what month it is.

Anyone watching the video with an objective eye (oh, I forgot what blog I was reading) can see that Piper moves ahead of her mother of her own accord to block the reporter. Seems like a typical willful girl for that age.To say she is "using" her is a ridiculous assertion.

Oh, and genius, check the date stamp on your post. It's summertime. Children have this thing called summer vacation where they do things, like travel with their parents.

Perhaps they are, as many children in our country today. With the lack of faith in the educational system, and the negative effects of the teacher 's unions, I would chose to have my children learn by alternative methods, be they home schooling, or touring the country and being exposed first hand to the experiences that may be gained by such.

well, then you'll have yourself another generation of little bratty kids without discipline or education, who think paul revere warned the british that we had guns.

MY children went to private school, (with the help of scholarships) and have college degrees from the University of California. One is a teacher and one is a graphic designer with her own firm. Ms Palin has herself an unwed teenage mother, a jr college dropout fisherman, a facebook racial slur thrower, and an ill behaved little brat. I suggest school, before it has to be reform school..

It is summer vacation. This trip sounds like a fantastic learning opportunity as well.

This little girl has obviously been taught to interfere with the press. WHO WOULD PUT THEIR CHILD IN THAT SITUATION? The most dangerous place around a Mother Grizzly is if you step between her and her cub. Obviously this isn't a problem with Palin. I feel sad for this child.

Actually, in many inner cities children are systematically used as sheilds against adversaries, be they police or rival gangs. They are also used as drug runners and lookouts. But I guess that's acceptable, as their parents are victims of the cycle. Who is responsible for the cycle. I'd say it's the system which enables irresponsible behavior by rewarding and not punishing it. Just sayin'.

I agree, things like teen pregnancy, dropping out of school, quitting your elected position, ignorance, and general media milking should be punished, not rewarded...

just sayin'

Wow. What the heck are you talking about? Bad parenting by some one else is no excuse for the bazaar way that Palin uses her kid like a body guard.

Piper's obviously been in thug training with Todd.

Just three thoughts for all these "experts" that are insulting Sarah.
1. Judge not lest you be judged.
2. Forgiveness and kindness.........
3. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...
or do liberals reject these principles as well ?

Funny, palin has never lived by those words....

[mollysmomma]

that is so true!

Nice deflection. I wasn't talking about her... I was talking about YOU.

[mollysmomma]

we believe in them.....but the Bible also says after seventy times seven you do not have to turn your cheek anymore.....palin has knocked the left side of this country much more than that.....she has verbally hit President Obama more than that. she needs to not be so mean. sarah is a mean woman.

[starztruck4u]

11:25 AM on 06/05/2011

No it does not say that. Peter asked Jesus how many times we must forgive...7 ? Jesus answered... " no seventy times seven". That would make 490 at least. The meaning is that you must always forgive. LOL do you keep a tally of how many times you forgive and when you reach a certain number you stop ? LOL I am guessing you never actually studied the Bible.

When will you people stop defending him. He shouldn't have been elected dog catcher. I doubt if he could hold a real job like working in a McDonalds without screwing it up.

If Piper is being home schooled by her doofus of a mother.....the authorities should be notified. Isn't a decent education a right of all children in this country?

[mollysmomma]

01:36 AM on 06/05/2011

that is true........those children have not been taught any manners, either.

[EducatedVoter]

Not if the Republicans have their way. They always try to cut education in our country, because it's the uneducated that support them. Gov. "in-the-closet" Rick Perry of TX is doing his part to destroy public education in this last session.
If Palin's daughter was sent to school, she might learn something and then turn against her own mother. Palin wants to keep her little body guard on her side.

Why isn't Piper in school?

[FiveToOne]

08:55 PM on 06/04/2011

This is just too much! Where are the good family values that Palin prides herself as having? Piper's lack of respect for people comes from watching her mother behave precisely the same way. We are supposed to think this is cute or funny - I find it revolting.

Serious question: Where are the other kids on the Palin Family Grifter Vacation?

This is sad. Sister Sarah do you see what you are doing to your children or I guess the question should be do you care?

Go Piper!

AAhhhh - The Palin's - America's Soap Opera family of Grifters! Raising a new generation of American delinquents - one child at a time!!! Go Piper it's your turn, now that your brother vandallized Wasilla's school buses, BP knocked up

Don't forget that the other one is a Facebook bully...

I would never encourage my child to act so boorishly. But then again, I'd never use my child as a human shield.
