A new low for politics. If I were Governor Palin, which I could not hold a dime to the courage she has displayed the last year under the constant personal attacks on her and every member of her family, I would garner a deal for a daily hour on a cable news station and make it my mission to find dirt on every piece of crap who attacked me personally the last year especially the jerk who penned the following article and expose them on national television.  I have no tolerance for people who attack my children, especially my special needs children.  But she has more class then me and greater backbone.  If you oppose the current administration or criticize them publicly and forcefully then you will be destroyed. Comedians will get laughter from suggesting your 14 year old daughter be raped at a baseball game and that your retarded baby will be the laughing stock of an online arm of the Obama Administration... God help whoever runs in '12...

The Huffington Post, an official arm of the Obama administration, published an article a few minutes ago on the resignation of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin with the following headline: Palin Will Run in '12 on More Retardation Platform

To make sure that the article's reference to Gov. Palin's infant son Trig who was born with Down Syndrome last year, the article is keyword tagged by the Huffington Post: ...Sarah Palin Trig; Trig; Comedy News

The article is authored by Erik Sean Nelson was posted at the Huffington Post yesterday at 6 p.m. EDT.

 

The text of the article:

In Sarah Palin's resignation announcement she complained about the treatment of her son Trig who always teaches her life lessons. She said that the "world needs more Trigs, not fewer." That's a presidential campaign promise we can all get behind. She will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people. To me, it's kinda like saying the world needs more cancer patients because they teach us such personal lessons.

Her first act as President: To introduce a Pre-K lunch buffet that includes lead paint chips. Sort of a Large HEAD-START Program.

She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40's just to mix up some chromosomes.

She now is in favor of abortion only in case of diploid birth.

Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter.

This will lead to smaller government because fewer Americans will have the cognitive ability to hold a government job.

Look, she says she's resigning as governor because people are making attacks on her and Trig. If she ever did become president, all Osama bin Laden would have to do to defeat the United States is Photoshop a picture of Trig and she'd surrender the country that night. As she said, "That's not politics as usual." It isn't. Politicians don't usually quit for so stupid of reasons.

Nelson's HuffPo bio: Erik Nelson has written for several comedy websites and published short fiction while living in the deep South. He has studied the local culture of his Red State and feels confident that they have accepted him as one of their own. Big mistake.

The Huffington Post was recently invited to the White House to ask a question of Barack Obama at a nationally televised press conference. The questioner, HuffPo National Editor Nico Pitney, asked a question on a pre-arranged topic of Obama. Pitney was trusted to do so because of his background as a Democratic party operative.

 


Merry Christmas!

I think it is incredibly sad that someone would use her son in this manner. It's not funny. But, this is a reflection of our current media. And, unfortunately, this is a reflection of us as a nation. Our priorities are off. When Michael Jackson died, it was as though all turned peaceful and beautiful in Iran, at least according to our cable news. Media is driven by how much interest stories will generate and how many advertising dollars can be earned in that process. We, as the public, offer support to this kind of "news". I will stay focused solely on this aspect of the OP, because to attach this kind of crap to our President and his administration is reaching, unfair, and not worth further discussion in my opinion.

It just amazes me the level of attacks aimed at Plain and her family.

 WOW, I never post in the politics threads because sadly I know nothing about politics. What I can say though is that this is a very distasteful article and I would not care who it was written about it whether it be Palin or your average jane on the street. It makes me wonder if people think or proofread anymore.

Ah, 'scuse me but the article is based on a quote from Sarah Palin that the world needs more Trigs. Should such shallow remarks be ignored in order to placate other conservatives?

(I read and ignored your prediction, tatiana.)

^^^Sadly there is a market for this type of trash.  Just look at all the people who defended Letterman and the tasteless joke he made about one of Palins daughters.  Justifying the joke based on whatever reason they could come up with.  Many will say Palin is the one who chose to put her children in the spotlight by excepting the nomination for VP.  These same people cry foul at the slightest thing said about Obama.  Like the outrage at chimp cartoon that was not even meant to represent Obama, but people were so outrage by it.

 Ok, not going to condone it; it was intended to be a humorous post that totally crossed the line, which is why he took it down within 10 minutes and apologized:

Of course, Hope, your shrill tone is ridiculous and you too take it too far.  This has nothing to do with President Obama.

CT,

 

Guess you have never had the honor of loving someone who was born with incredible imperfections. Seeing what they overcome each and everyday and their simple loving view of the world would teach even you that the world needs these people. But it seems you are ignorant on the impact these special people give to our community...

 

Anyway it could be a mute point - 75%, of children with Down's Syndrome, are aborted. Soon you might have your master race of people all with the appropriate amount of chromosomes.

 

Nixon, I know it would be very difficult for you to post something like " This is the most disgusting article one of my own has written and I am embarrased that he calls himself a Democrat.. " but that's a pretty high bar.  I said in the OP that he took it down, glad to hear he apologized. One thing we know about people is that sometimes its best to really pay attention to someone's first reaction to see how they really feel... I have no doubt that upon hearing Palin resigned and penning his article that he thought.. "it's for the greater good, I am mouth piece who hate's this woman and has joined with other so-called journalists to trash her family."

 

Hope

 


Merry Christmas!

 Hope, I guess you really need some lessons in reading.  Of course, that would involve you doing something a little more than just seeing what you want to see. 



 Peace sign

Hope never misses an opportunity to drag Obama into every one of her ranting negative posts.
