Levi Johnston is Bristol Palin’s boyfriend and her baby daddy. The fact that he is the father of her baby has been no secret to the community in which they live. Read about it below and see photos of Levi Johnston.
Levi Johnston
Sherry and Keith Johnston are the parents of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend, Levi Johnston. They have had to have their phone disconnected. They have had to distance themselves from the world because the left would like to do whatever they can to make the lives of anyone connected with Sarah Palin and her family as absolutely miserable as possible.
The problem for them is, that anything they have come up with to try to present as a scandal on the part of Sarah Palin pales in comparison to the scandals that have surrounded Barack Obama throughout his campaign. A couple of teenagers, long-term boyfriend and girlfriend, get pregnant. How does that discredit Sarah Palin as a vice presidential candidate?
It doesn’t.
The star of the local hockey team is the boyfriend of the beautiful town girl. They date for over a year and she ends up pregnant. The baby is due in December. Yes, it complicates things for their lives, but it certainly doesn’t mean they are perverts or that their parents are somehow deviants that should be shunned and give up their careers.
Apparently, the fact that Bristol Palin was pregnant with her long time boyfriend, Levi Johnston’s baby was no secret in their hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. On his MySpace page, which hasn’t been updated in over a year, Johnston describes himself as a ‘f**kn’ redneck’. She’s 17 years old. He’s 18 years old. They are both seniors. Levi is described as ’smart’, a ‘good kid’ and ‘well liked’. Their friends say they have been ‘engaged’ for a while. Everyone knew she was pregnant.
Its an American story.
Of course, everyone would rather they finished school and waited till they were older … and married … to start a family. But they aren’t the first high school kids to be in this position.
Is there really anything else to say about this? Is there any reason to further humiliate these young people? Or should we, out of decency, let them live their lives as best they can?
Frankly, I’d rather have a candidate that has an unplanned pregnancy in the family than one who has Marxists beliefs he would impose on our culture. Wouldn’t you?
Perhaps the left can find policy issues that they disagree with Sarah Palin on rather than trying to tear her and her family apart?
Sarah Palin needs to look the American people in the eye and tell them to examine every aspect of her life and her family. And then demand that they do the same with the Obamas and the Bidens. Don’t think for a second that Obama asked the American people to leave Palin’s family alone because he was concerned about Palin. He doesn’t want people doing the same to his wife and children. Check her out. But don’t forget to do the same for Obama’s family and Biden’s family.
May the family with the least skeltons in their closets win.

No one cares about the kids. it is the hypocrisy of the parents.
If a the shoe was on the other foot the right leaning blogosphere would be apoplectic with joy.

It is the religious/political right that has made “family values� an issue in American politics. On the specific issue of pregnancy, the anti-choice crowd has made it clear in their opposition to Roe v. Wade that they reject a privacy right, the legal underpinning of the decision, when it comes to pregnancy. There is no valid reason for Bristol Palin to have the only pregnancy in America in which the pregnant woman has a right to privacy. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Both sides go after the family every election, but this is getting ridiculous. The second Biden was announced the right went after his son, saying he was a lobbyist, and Obama was hypocritical for picking the father of a lobbyist. Now, it’s Sarah Palin’s daughter’s turn.
None of it matters, folks. We’re all looking for a magic bullet that wins this election. It doesn’t matter unless it hits the actual candidate.
I find it a little funny how both McCain and Obama publicly state that family is off limits, but then send their minions to attack half-brothers, daughters, sons, uncles, etc., etc.

Oh I think this is all fine and helps Sarah Palin in the end. Politico has a very good story up tonight about how uneasy camp Obama is about all the attention and ultimate sympathy she will get from undecided moms. The Victorias and Nice Trys of the world don’t matter ’cause they aren’t the votes McCain is going after.
By the way Victoria, you have it wrong about privacy rights which is amazing given the simplicity of the arguments on both sides of this issue. The argument is about what rights the unborn child should have constitutionally and morally. Those rights weighed against rights of selfish parents is THE fundamental debate between the pro and anti baby crowds.

I think I hear the theme song for the Beverley Hillbillies playing - did you see that tongue. Can someone say “white trash?” If Sarah girl can’t even monitor her teenage daughter - and how hard can that be. I monitor mine, I know whom she sees, how long, I also talk to my daughter about sex like twice a year remind her of concequences and how to avoid. Like super easy, we have a great relationship. Being a good parent starts at home. Sarah is not ready to be VP when she can’t even manage her own house. The right can disagree, but thats just hypocrisy speaking.

I say that if the Left succeeds in getting Sarah Palin knocked off our ticket, and they won’t, but if they do, it’s open season on Obama/Biden.
Everything goes. No holes barred. Balls to the Wall. Look under every nook and cranny at the entire Obama/Biden life history. And Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, et.al, as well.
We on the Right have been far too cautious. But we’re getting to the point, where we need to just let it all rip. We’re not quite there yet. If Palin gets dumped, that’s the tipping point. (Thankfully, John McCain is too courageous to let her go. And Sarah is too strong-willed not to stand up to them.)

The baby’s daddy don’t want kids according to his my space page. He’s a proud redneck– white people of lower socio-economic status in the United States or a “glorious lack of sophistication,” —lol
Why are they forcing these kids to get married?
Are they trying to make this look wholesome.
Redneck just wanted to have some good fun–not get tied down with the baby mama. Now this girl is knocked up so young. vagina will be so big now. let’s see if this guy will go thru with marrying her. The mama should be at home taking care of her 5kids. She put her career first before the kids. The daddy has pass DUIs. McCain must have been smoking the happy stick when he put her.

The issue is not Obama , Biden, Ms. Palin, or their families. The issue is McCain’s decision making process and his deception. It’s obvious he didn’t get adequate background information about Ms.Palin but claimed he did. I don’t want a President who screws up then tries to hide it.

Why do you write, “Is there any reason to further humiliate these young people?” after you also wrote, “Its an American story….Of course, everyone would rather they finished school and waited till they were older … and married … to start a family. But they aren’t the first high school kids to be in this position.”
I don’t think you meant to imply that this particular American story is one of humiliation - but do you see the contradiction that even your writing suggests? Which is not dissimilar how, no doubt, many parents are feeling for Palin & Bristol, and, very likely, their own similar situations?
Please - if you’re going to recognize that this situation happens enough to call it an American story, but then imply that they’re humiliated, explain why - why do you think they’re humiliated, if you’ve just written that it’s an American story - of humiliation?

Who uses family values as a wedge issue in elections? Answer: flying blind holier-than-thou conservative crowd like you! And so when you’re caught with your pants down, instead of admit your mistakes & accepting that we’re all human beings with weaknesses you start preaching to others about fairness?
My advice for flying blind holier-than-thou conservative crowd like you is this: live & let others live! Is that too much to ask for from holier-than-thou conservative crowd?

That girl is really ruining Levi’s life. I think this is not an American Story. Shotgun weddings are not okay when the girl tempts the boy into bed. Levi was a good christian boy before he met bristol.

When you start needing to spin this hard on this many things, you made a mistake.
The problem here is, as is frequently the case, one that people aren’t mentioning. Why would a loving mother expose her daughter to this? This is like John Edwards thinking he could get away cheating on his wife with a Hollywood producer–no one who isn’t insane thinks they can get away with it.
The only Christian thing about this woman’s family is having a down baby. Taking care of five kids from DC or uprooting them from Wasella? How you function as a mother of five children if you’re president? How you expose your daughter to bieng humiliated on the news? I don’t like this woman.

It’s obvious that the blame for this lies not with sex education but with Hollwood. Bristol probably went to the movies in Anchorage and saw the movie Juno. Damn commie pinko directors warping the minds of our children.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:35 am
Yes SWI, why would Michelle Obama want to do this with their young children? I am shock, shock, shocked.
Jill, anyone who would fake out a CNN audience just to get on TV does not have the professional standing to question the writing of others.
Cain, who is preaching about fairness? Obama’s mother was what one would charitably call “white trash” in the olden days. I will be writing an article about her soon since it’s fair game.

Darr.
I think you’re full of it and just grandstanding in hopes that you’ll look like some parent that we all could learn something from.
The only way you could possibly do what you say you do is to have a GPS monitor hooked up to your daughter.
Wheres the hypocrisy in disagreeing with your statement which is only an opinion based on suspicion ?
———————————————–
TIA !
I have been scolded for being vulgar on this blog before, I can hang with the raunchiest bunch out there.
But I have to say that if I have ever heard a nasty disgusting person in my life who could use a little “sophistication” it would be you.
And I really wish you bigots would knock off the “redneck” crap.
This family most definitley does not fit that stereo type.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:52 am
So do you say the same about underage drinking? If Palin can’t control her own children, how can she control a country? You claim there is no irrelevancy in it all?
Your response to the Palin’s “scandal” is a typical hypocrocy republican response.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:54 am
Yup McCain.
I think I’ve pointed it out twice now that Obamas mom had to of been knocked up at 17 in order to have him at 18
The odds are in my favor.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:57 am
McCain, nice non-responsive response.
The question stands.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:58 am
Read the above link..
This is a case of if it were Democrats, this would be totally wrong, however we are talking about George Bush Republicans. It is not wrong if they do it. This is a total reversal of values for the Republicans. They preach conservative, anti pro choice, no sex ed in schools, blah, blah, blah. Now the shoe is on the other foot and what is the story? Now we should all consider this a normal part of America and embrace the fact that Sarah is dealing with this so well and Bristol and Levi are going to get married and live happily ever after. Because it is them, we are suppose to feel all warm and fuzzy over this family. BULL CRAP! Just because you say it doesn’t make it so……….
I am a lifelong Republican. Not anymore. This election with John and Sarah is a complete farce and a major disaster for this country. The scandals are already flying…When will they have time to focus on us in America if they are always having to defend themselves? How can Sarah run government and a household of 4 kids and a grandchild. Sarah is still 17. Is this the example America wants to portray to its citizens and the world?

What the lefties are doing in going after these poor kids is just evil and absolutely STUPID!! Talk about moronic!! They’re trying to ruin these kids life and saying “No one cares about the kids. it is the hypocrisy of the parents.” as Nice Try says above.
Well, Nice Try… nice try but no wash.
Hehe, poor stupid lefties.
Lefties like to whine a lot about being a victim to appease their conscious and yet when they have a chance to show some actual class and well meaning decency, they horribly malign themselves by pointing out, once again, that they only care for the ’self’, that is, themselves… whatever point they happen to be making at that moment, and nothing else. Why, lefties change their positions every time they turn around. Can we say… obvious? Hehe
Going after these kids will turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes the lefties made in the entire election. And they can’t take it back. Heheheheheh.
GO PALIN!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:55 am
Duh! The issue is that of a politician who promotes the ridiculous (ie morally dubious and totally ineffective) tenet of abstinence, and campaigns against sex education for kids. For a sophisticated nation, this approach is a joke - and contributes to the USA’s dreadful record on teen pregnancies, which is the highest in the developed world.
Oh, and if this had been Chelsea Clinton who was pregnant at 17, you would have kept quiet about it, would you?
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:58 am
Paul T
Hehehe…. Try to lay the blame around huh? Why don’t lefties just stand up for what they say without passing around the buck? Hehehhehehe
Its not about Chelsea or the way things might have gone who knows when… its about what lefties are doing to Palin and her kids right now.
So try to stay on subject, won’t you?
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:42 am
You dig your grave, man…now lay in it…Whiny republicans….wah, wah, wah….
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:45 am
the hack job article says that they are long time bf and gf. Well that means mama was so dumb and out of touch she could not tell that this relationship was sexual and couldn’t see this coming…when Mcshame strokes out will she see Iran coming or Pakistan or the other 10 or 12 mad countries out there.
