Levi Fires Back -- Bristol's Not 'Realistic'

Minutes after Bristol Palin preached about abstinence being the best way to prevent teen pregnancy, her baby daddy was already calling her out on a morning show of his own...

Levi Johnston: Click to watch

Levi Johnston told "The Early Show," "I don't just think telling young kids, 'you can't have sex' ... it's not going to work ... it's not realistic."

For the record, the unwed teenage parents did use protection ... some of the time.

Another clueless idiot. Blame the man for knocking her up. Bristol is not trying to be a role model. She is a horrible example of a useless teen and my niece's will never look up to that media wh^re.

Levi has every right to see his son and that tr^mp is withholding his rights as a father. He has not done nothing wrong for her and that b^tch of a mother of hers to withhold his rights. Every son needs a father in his life. Not some h^ssy. What do you say about that?

32. Kids over 13 need to know the facts of life. If tell them nothing, then they will go to peers and get all wrong info. Such as age old myth "you cant get pregnent on your fist time". Or the otehr one "If you pull out, she wont get ..."

If parents are there for teens and answer questions, then kids will not rebel and go out and be slutty.

Also, for fathers to think it's OK for their boys to go out and 'get some and be a man', Will you like it if he gets girl pregnent and has to pay child support? No, he cant run away from it.

One other thing, conservative meaness towards pregnent teens leads to secret abortions! Girls get knocked up, and parents have told them "We'll throw you out if you ever..", so they get abortion and not tell, all "OK".

Biased. They are just reporting the facts, b*tch. If the tables where turned, and this where the Obamas family. They wouldn't have even come close to being elected because the devils and demons on the right would have whined about "Christian Family Values." Palin's family is not like every normal family. Not even close. Unless you live in a town where the population is less than 5000 and the education level is equivalent of a 7th grader. Sounds like Middle America. Aka Republican territory. Aka Poor Wh^te Trash. What an embarrassment to my race.

34. Levi - what are you doing with your life? Bristol is finishing high school, making plans for college and taking care of an infant. And, oh yeah, her parents are footing the bill.

Levi - you are a high school drop out and not working because you are too busy traveling all over the country appearing on TV shows. Your mother is out on bail while awaiting trial in a criminal case. Have you paid one dime to child supprt? Hmmm ...

I would have more sympathy for Levi if he was working toward a goal - like learning how to support himself and this, in turn, would support his son. It is time to fish or cut bait Levi! What is it going to be?

35. Some of you people amaze me calling her a hypocrit. God Forbid someone learn from their past poor judgement and try to help others making better, informed choices. You Go Bristol....

You go to Levi....GO HOME!

36. This young man should be ashamed of himself. He is going on these shows bad-mouthing the mother of his child. I think it's very sad the Media is using this young man to stick it to the Palin's. He needs to keep in mind, that this child will not be an infant forever and he will see how his Dad attacked his Mom, and I can guarantee you that it won't seem so cute then!!!

37. Levi is totally right when he said that because he didn't use a condom with her a few times they ended up with a kid. But everything else is stupid teenagers should never have sex most of you are not mentally impaired so yeah don't have sex idiots because you will end up like them or worse and for you adult people who aren't married don't have sex especially not intercourse if you want to f* so bad like that get married that way if you do end up with a child it will not be a bastard child with no true last name you stupid humans and if you think those kids you accidently have are worthless and never should have been born well look at your damn self in the mirror and break it if you want because it is your fault. I'm an abstinent 24 year old and will continue to be until the day I'm married, If I can do it so can you corrupted earth.

38. This jerk called levi is the scum of the world. Very possible he impregnated her on purpose by damaging any protection they were using. He even looks the part of a jerk.

41. I will never understand why people air their dirty laundry on tv or in books. I would think that if you thought enough of a person to share your body with them, that you would keep your big mouth shut about it. If I ever had a relationship I would hope the whole world wouldn't be in bed with us.

42. A parent should talk to their children about having SAFE sex not abstinence. Children will start dating and start having these feelings no matter how much parents try and talk to them about waiting until marriage. My mother instilled the fear of GOD in me when I was younger so I did end up waiting until I was 18 and with someone who I love before I lost my virginity! (PS. 10 years later I’m still with the guy- happy and more in love than we were when we started dating!) Instead of being reckless (for lack of a better word) he took my to the Doctor for my first Pap test and I got on the pill. He also, to be extra safe, had an AID's/STD test.

Sex is a natural thing that the vast majority of people will experience before marriage so insteaded of teaching abstinence, teach your child/children about how to do it safely!

43. I saw the Palin girl on the Today Show today WITH HER CREEPY FATHER! If Bristol wants to be a spokesperson, why in the heck does she need her father at her side? When Bristol was asked a question about Levi, she waffled and just said that Levi was being able to spend time with the baby. Then her father had to get all involved in the discussion - can't stand him. If she's big enough to have a baby, and she wants to be a spokesperson on the subject, she should do it alone without that creepy father hanging over her so they don't say the wrong thing to ruin it for that awful Sarah Palin. Its ludicrous.

44. BRISTOL and LEVI both need to grow up and stop trying to get so much media attention.. bristol is stupid for having a kid and going around saying abstinence is the only way..she should hav thought of that before she spread her legs... and what she said before about abstinece being unrealistic--now she is saying that was taken out of context...GROW THE **** UP n pay more attention to your kid-both of you--not tha media.

45. It takes a real man and parent to STAND BY his daughter during her trials and tribulations. Bristol's father is honorable and not at all Creepy for going on television shows with his daughter. Mr. Palin is doing exactly what a responsible parent needs to do to protect his family. Just a reminder, didn't Bristol's parents do the present-day hip thing by letting Levi hang out in their home and Bristol's bedroom prior to her pregnancy?

Levi, life is not all about toking and stroking. Shut the heck up, get some career assessment and counseling, then, focus on your future before your son figures out that you are a Loser.
