Lefty Bloggers Go After Palin's Daughter

Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 5:47 PM

The lefty blogosphere hasn't stopped perpetuating the rumor Sarah Palin "faked" her last pregnancy and are now humiliating her daughter Bristol on the blatantly incorrect suspicion she is the real mother of baby Trig.

"Sarah Palin is NOT the Mother" is the title of this DailyKos blog that accuses Bristol, a completely fit looking adolescent teen, of having a "baby bump" in a photo they allege was taken March 9th of this year.

"Sarah, I'm calling you a liar" wrote blogger ArcXIX. "And not even a good one. Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation to the public, the better. "

Not only is the DailyKos disgustingly inspecting Bristol's midriff with all the fervor of LA paparrazzi examining J-Lo's or Jennifer Aniston's washboard stomachs for evidence of a "bump" DailyKos is is wrong on when the photo was taken. It was taken, and published, by the Anchorage Daily News in 2006. Baby Trig, a Down's Syndrome child, was born on April 18, 2008. That's a long time for a teen girl to be carrying a "bump" which looks nothing more than the curve of a tight sweater.

Shorly after Palin was announced McCain's VP, bloggers at the Kos started ginning up the rumor Palin faked her pregnancy, allegedly to cover for an illegitimate grandchiled, because she looked so fit and trim in a photo taken a few months before giving birth.

This is only the latest in outrageoues attacks against Palin's mothering ability. Fox News anchor Alan Colmes, of Hannity & Colmes, titled a recent post on his blog "LiberalLand" "Did Palin Take Proper PreNatal Care" that wondered if she somehow was at fault for having a disabled child. Colmes took down the post after being attacked by the blog Wizbang and later reposted a screenshot of the blog to prove he "wasn't running away from what I posted."

Why can't there be normal liberals that keep quiet and don't make a bad impression for all of the other libs?

Well, in fairness, there are some libs that do keep their criticism sensible, but they don't get featured on the DailyKos. The kooks generate more ad income.

[Joemailman]

Daily Kos is the nutcase fringe element of the left. Sorta like Tex on the right.

[texaspackerbacker]

It kinda sounds like the sick libs are projecting THEIR morality--or lack of it--on a good normal American family.

Just the logistics of perpetrating a fraud like they are accusing is completely beyond believability. How many co-conspirators would it take to pull it off? A helluva a lot. I don't care if she does have an 80% plus approval rating, some of the people with knowledge would have to be opponents of Palin.

The stigma of teenage pregnancy just isn't worth the risk to an ambitious politician of such a cover-up. It ain't logical.

Agreed, Joe. There are some partisan nuts out there.

Joe, I repeat the challenge I have given several times to the forum leftists--of which, you, admittedly, are one of the least obnoxious: What of my oft-stated positions on the issues could you possibly see as extreme?

I posted this on the previous page to illustrate exactly how blatant the difference is between the views and values of us "good normal America-loving Americans" compared to practically all of those in positions of power and leadership on your side of the spectrum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love of country and Patriotism versus hate, disdain, and lack of pride.

Emphasis on Judeo-Christian values and heritage versus emphasis on abortion, homosexuality, and a whole host of other sick immoral agendas.

Lower taxes, less government intrusion, emphasis on individualism and volunteerism versus socialism, tax and spend/welfare state, emphasis on dependence on government.

Positivity versus negativity.

Continuation of the Greatness of America versus CHANGE away from that greatness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can you possibly deny that it is the sick depraved bastards of the left--from Obama on down--who are extreme, NOT those of us who hold the pristine views and positions above?

Furthermore, it makes very little biological sense. Downs Syndrome is more prevalent in older pregnant women - thus the reason older women get more prenatal tests - such as a karyotype (looking at the number of chromosomes).

You have to remember that the reason for crap like this is to distract from the achievements of the woman. She took on corrupt politicians and a political machine IN HER OWN PARTY and defeated them. She took on corruption in Big Oil and defeated it, despite reports of Conoco spending 600K trying to discredit her administration. These facts scare the hell out of liberals, because this is what they've been screaming for, and it's coming from the next president and vice president from the opposing party!

And Colmes should be the one to talk about poor health - the guy looks like a living skeleton (if he actually has some physical ailment, I retract that statement). But to point his bony finger at Palin takes a lot of gall. So much for 'fair and balanced reporting.'

The hostess with the moosest [Mark Steyn]

Over in the Frumistan province of the NR caliphate, our pal David is not happy about the Palin pick. I am - for several reasons.

First, Governor Palin is not merely, as Jay describes her, "all-American", but hyper-American. What other country in the developed world produces beauty queens who hunt caribou and serve up a terrific moose stew? As an immigrant, I'm not saying I came to the United States purely to meet chicks like that, but it was certainly high on my list of priorities. And for the gun-totin' Miss Wasilla then to go on to become Governor while having five kids makes it an even more uniquely American story. Next to her resume, a guy who's done nothing but serve in the phony-baloney job of "community organizer" and write multiple autobiographies looks like just another creepily self-absorbed lifelong member of the full-time political class that infests every advanced democracy.

Second, it can't be in Senator Obama's interest for the punditocracy to spends its time arguing about whether the Republicans' vice-presidential pick is "even more" inexperienced than the Democrats' presidential one.

Third, real people don't define "experience" as appearing on unwatched Sunday-morning talk shows every week for 35 years and having been around long enough to have got both the War on Terror and the Cold War wrong. (On the first point, at the Gun Owners of New Hampshire dinner in the 2000 campaign, I remember Orrin Hatch telling me sadly that he was stunned to discover how few Granite State voters knew who he was.) Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are more or less the same age, but Governor Palin has run a state and a town and a commercial fishing operation, whereas (to reprise a famous line on the Rev Jackson) Senator Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth. She's done the stuff he's merely a poseur about. Post-partisan? She took on her own party's corrupt political culture directly while Obama was sucking up to Wright and Ayers and being just another get-along Chicago machine pol (see his campaign's thuggish attempt to throttle Stanley Kurtz and Milt Rosenberg on WGN the other night).

Fourth, Governor Palin has what the British Labour Party politician Denis Healy likes to call a "hinterland" - a life beyond politics. Whenever Senator Obama attempts anything non-political (such as bowling), he comes over like a visiting dignitary to a foreign country getting shanghaied into some impenetrable local folk ritual. Sarah Palin isn't just on the right side of the issues intellectually. She won't need the usual stage-managed "hunting" trip to reassure gun owners: she's lived the Second Amendment all her life. Likewise, on abortion, we're often told it's easy to be against it in principle but what if you were a woman facing a difficult birth or a handicapped child? Been there, done that.

Fifth, she complicates all the laziest Democrat pieties. Energy? Unlike Biden and Obama, she's been to ANWR and, like most Alaskans, supports drilling there.

Sixth (see Kathleen's link to Craig Ferguson below), I kinda like the whole naughty librarian vibe.

I think rejoicing at the dearth of Tim Russert puts you out of the mainstream of conservative thought. Several conservatives here would probably agree with that.

I think Tex's comments on Russert, etc. are outrageous, but he asked you about a set of positions above. What do you think of those?

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah yeah yeah, the crap about that bastard Russert--but NOT ONE WORD of response to the sick evil positions and views advocated the God damned America-hating extremists who constitute the leadership of that rotten party.

Joe, as seemingly not too horrible an example of a left winger, how can you defend or condone the horrendous anti-American anti-Christian anti-free enterprise immoral and perverted policies of your party's leaders?

As for Russert, he was a hugely influential part of that rottenness. That is why I was possibly a little over-zealous in reacting to his death.

It's pretty disgraceful, though, if THAT is the only thing you guys can bring up instead of commenting on the atrocious views, values, and positions of your side's leaders--your party's nominee being about the MOST ANTI-AMERICAN of the whole sick bunch.

[BallHawk]

Anti-Christian? Isn't there something in some document somewhere that says there shall be no religious test in government?

[texaspackerbacker]

Anti-Christian? Isn't there something in some document somewhere that says there shall be no religious test in government?

Religious test? What does that mean?

I believe what you refer to is the First Amendment thing that the government shall not abridge the freedom of anybody to practice their religion. Well, there's a whole lot of abridgin' goin' on these days, mainly because left wing judges appointed by left wing politicians. But wait, are ALL religions being persecuted and restricted? Hell No. It is basically only one. That would be the majority religion--the TRUE religion--the religion HATED so much by the sick leftist America-hating extremists who control the Democrat Party--Obama being the sickest piece of shit of the bunch.

How about it, Ballhawk? Do you care to defend the rotten positions, views, and values of your America-hating leaders? I doubt it!

sorry, Ballhawk. It's getting hard to know the players without a scorecard. From other posts, I see you usually are NOT one of the lefties of the forum. What gives with your post above which sounds contrary to the side you are usually on?

[digitaldean]

Being a conservative, I, for one, didn't care for Tex's Russert postings.

Like I've stated in other threads, the namecalling crap is jr. high BS. I think most of us are beyond that level of behavior.

There have been times where Harlan or others have stated stuff that was beyond the pale. If, after a few replies back, it seemed pointless to continue, I logged out. The only reason being is if I continue to post my frustrations it serves no useful purpose.
