Sit back, relax, and enjoy a bowl of popcorn while you watch this bizarre fight between Sarah Palin and Azealia Banks.
The whole mess started when Banks found a fake news article on one of those “we’ll just make something up and say that it’s satire even though that’s not what satire is” sites. The piece fabricated a bunch of Palin quotes like “slavery wasn’t forced onto African-Americans, they accepted it willingly,” and “Negroes loved being slaves and they were doing just fine under our rules,” and “They need someone to govern them, to show them how to organize, how to live as a community, in a civilized manner. They pretty much need us more than we need them.”

OK, that’s a pretty awful thing to say, but it was scammy clickbaters at “Newlso” who wrote it, not Palin. And frankly, all of those sentences are a little too coherent to have actually come from Palin.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Nevertheless, Banks believed it, and went on a Twitter rant. A lot of it’s been deleted, but among her ideas was “Let’s find the biggest burliest blackest negroes and let them run a train on her. Film it and put it on Worldstar.” (“Run a train” means enlisting a woman for a gang bang.) She also wrote that Palin should get fucked by a big black dick and then locked in a cupboard, and so on.

Then Palin hit back on Facebook, in a post starting with “Hey Female Rapper – listen up, little darling,” and going on, “No one has any idea what you’re wigging out about in these bizarre, violent rants against me,” calling the whole thing “some fake interview in which I supposedly offered comments representing the antithesis of my truth.”
And now Banks has apologized for “any emotional distress or reputational scarring I may have caused you.”
And this:
My only mistake was insinuating that SP might have sex with someone other than one of her cousins. #trailer

But Palin says that’s not enough, and she’s going to sue Banks, because “if a white girl were to say what this black girl is saying, the screams for the entire white population’s head would be louder than the nonsensical rap that Azealia spews all the way to the bank. The white girl would probably be locked up.”
Uh huh. Well, good job to both parties. You definitely deserve each other!
Michael J. Murphy
Both individuals are offensive to me. I despise Sarah Palin from day one. But condoning rape is horrible. We need to move away from these types of celebrities and focus on those that are doing their best to make this a better world.
Alex Rothwell
I’ll say !
John Matthew Tramel
Azealia said nothing about rape. She talked about a gang bang, if that’s what you’re referring to.
James Rumsey
She better be careful there opening the floodgates for people to sue her over offensive tweets
Mark Hunziker
Can we sue Palin for being offensive?
Bill Mountrey
Can we sue Sarah for being an offensive – and failed – mother? Has she taught Bristol what abstinence means? Is she still shooting animals from a helicopter? Pathetic republifool….
Baba Booey Fafa Fooey
I side with Sarah Palin her on this.
Berkley Wood
Sue her for what? That trash ain’t got nothing to go after…
Chris Johnson
Can I sue Palin for insulting my intelligence every time she opens her mouth then? lol
Mark Ilvonen
Perfect, they deserve each other!
Cory M. Warren
one piece of trash getting angry at another piece of trash for that piece of trash posting things about the first piece of trash that were written by a third piece of trash whom there is more legal precedent for the first piece of trash to sue than for sueing the second piece of trash.
AtticusBennett
how about a massive LGBT class action lawsuit, suing all the anti-gay politicians for their hate speech which has resulted in so many youth suicides, murders and beatings?
Sidney DaviesWinter
Sarah Palin can stfu
Sebastian Holiday
And she should. They deserve each other.

Gays siding Azealia after her homophobic comments are def a joke
Bob LaBlah
Sarah, honey, just out of curiosity why didn’t you file a lawsuit back in 2008 when a porn company produced the HARD CORE flick “Whose Nailin Palin?” What gives? Double standard? It was obviously you who was the subject of that movie and your character in the moved got NAILED by a black guy. And don’t forget, Cindy Adams was the one who brought the movie to the attention of the world. Why wasn’t she named in a lawsuit, even after you and McCain lost (thank goodness).
If ya’ll ain’t busy do a google search of that porn flick “Whose Naiin’ Palin” and also its sequel “Whose Nailin’ Palin Now” and see for yourself. Its on damn near every free porn site out there. You are also on record as having had a “affair” with a black basketball player while you were a student in Hawaii. I don’t blame you honey. I remember all to well that once you go……..well, anyway, the article is about you and not about some of the best, Academy Award winning sex that I ev…….good-nite all.

That homophobic evil bitch needs to be taken down …flip a coin
Shirley White
Who cares?

Azealia Banks is a silly black woman who needs to apologize for her stupid statement. Silly black women are a dime a dozen, apparently.
Brian
Oh, and the silly black woman Azealia Banks needs to understand that rudeness is no substitute for intelligence.
Kevin J Desmond
Though I hate rap and think it’s nothing but garbage, that bitch whoever she is has the right to sing ( if you want to call it that ) about whatever she wants .. so long as it’s she’s not committing a crime with it. Palin is a sad and pathetic boob and a sorry excuse of a woman.
o.codone
Suing gay hater Azalia Banks. Who has ever heard of her anyway? She’s putting herself on the map. But I hope Palin gets a judgment against Banks’ future earnings. Keep that bitch in the ghetto where she belongs. And Palin can donate her award to a pro-life organization just to bother the sh it out of everyone. Good for you Sarah. Go TRUMP!
Captain Obvious
Suing over Twitter comments? Nation of big babies.
Richard Rachman
I think i’m the one of two gay men I know that is in love with Azalea Banks and how offensive she is. Maybe it’s like being a christian fundamentalist and loving Marilyn Manson (who I’m also in love with), but she can’t really do any bad by me. She’s an artist. I love her art. She personally, her method, her story, filters to me through her art. Her social media presence isn’t important to me… I’m not on twitter or insta…. so… I just keep listening to her music and jiving on.
Nathanael Quiala
She’s a breath of fresh air.
CamRon Hastiin Yazhii
We, the American public, should sue Palin for her speeches and seeing her image here and there. She needs to go
David O Brien
Sarah Palin is a dumb b****
DCguy
@o.codone:
What a shock, here is ANOTHER anti-gay bigot that you support.
As for Palin and Banks, it’s like two rats fighting over a moldy old sandwich behind a dumpster. They’re both disgusting, I don’t care who wins, and nobody would mind if they never saw them again.
Jay A. Scaramazzo
Palin is offensive period.
maxxbot
I’m having some serious trouble deciding which person in this fight is the more loathsome human being, this is a tough one.
martinbakman
Sarah Palin is one ignorant ho, and I mean that with all due respect.
n900mixalot
But her music is sooooo goooooood …
crowebobby
I’d have believed Palin said all that Sounds just like her.
Bob LaBlah
@o.codone: This does sound like some shit the hopelessly untalented Foxy Brown would have pulled to get attention, huh. I guess you know she (Brown) supports Trump. I read about it at that sleazy-ass NYDailynews.com. Personally, I hope ol’ Sister Sarah loses. I happen to LIKE Obama and want to slap the shit out of her every time she opens her mouth up about him. The same went for that ex-twink looking Marco Rubio.
