Sarah Palin Rips Bristol Critics, "Haters" >>Hollywood

Sarah Palin is in mama grizzly mode.

With Bristol Palin getting white powder sent to her on the Dancing With the Stars set, the former Republican V.P. nominee is in L.A. sticking up for her cub.

After a series of alleged death threats against Bristol, Sarah traveled to California to be with her and went off on her daughter's "haters" on Facebook, writing:

"I'm sorry to see that she's again getting those annoying death threats and more 'mysterious white powder' sent to her while on DWTS this All-Star season."

"These threats sure waste a lot of time, production and public resources; but do the haters really think this will stop Bristol and Mark and the producers from keepin' on keepin' on?"

"Silly critics - after all these years of goofy antics like this we find these efforts are actually quite motivating! Bristol's not letting this get her down."

"Hey, the haters will hate anyway; the critics will criticize, so you might as well dance!"

Sarah and Willow Palin also made time for themselves, stepping out in Studio City, Calif., to do some shopping at KMart and read a little celebrity gossip.

The political figure also raised eyebrows with her much slimmer figure. Between that and her casual attide, she was barely recognizable as she and Willow ate at KFC.

Will this be Bristol Palin's last week on DWTS? Don't bet on it.
