Before Palin's kids were ever in pictures, the incompetent press and hyenas were already floating rumors that Trig was actually Bristol's baby, but the family was claiming it was Sarah's to cover up the pregnancy.

The slime in the press and the DNC targeted the kids long before Sarah posed with them at all.

If there is a single honest person left in the press, I wish they would stand up and say something.


myLot reputation of 91/100. meandmy3 (1328)   ranked 409 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

I agree that it is not right are fair and that our press needs to be more concerned about the truth than they are about spreading rumors and lies about people in office and not.


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 401 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

They would much rather spread a rumor than worry about facts.

As you remember the RNC ASKED Sarah to run with McCain, she didn't have a gun to her head, nor was she forced to do this. You are correct in pointing out that Sarah pushed her family values, and her children onto the public stage. We all remember how Rush attacked Chelsea Clinton, but I never heard one decenting voice from the right during that time. I wonder why that is? Could you imagine if Hilary was out promoting abstinence while Chelsea was pregnant? Rush and the right wing hate mongers would have made what the press did to the Palin family look like a FOX News interview with Cheney. When all is said and done, the only person to blame here is Palin, she had the ability to stop this from happeneing, but she was so wrapped up in her career, and her future that she didn't care about what it would do to her family. Every parent knows that your kids come before you, apparently Sarah forgot about that.


myLot reputation of 76/100. suspenseful (17149)   ranked 196 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

Have you ever considered that as soon as Bristol got pregnant Sarah got very upset and told her "I told you this would happen if you ran around with him. I told you to wait until you are married," etc. Sarah did not persuade her daughter to have s*x before marriage. And as for the lectures Bristol is doing, I suppose some are "do not do what I did. I will never be able to go to University. I might not be able to marry the man of my dreams." And she has a baby, the example to show why she cannot do the things she would have loved.

So why not say the same about Obama? If he did not want to have his face plastered over and go traveling and campaigning, etc. but of course he can because he is a man and not only that, he is part black. And I bet if Oprah decided to run for office, you would have not said anything bad about her. Only female Republican candidates are fair game and especially if they are not black or part black.
And what about Obama's girls? That is what is unfair. Okay if you are of a certain ethnic group.
I would have rather that only men went into politics and ran for office, but I guess there were no strong Republican men who would have had the courage to run. So do not blame Mrs. Palin for stepping forward, blame the men who did not have the courage to.


myLot reputation of 45/100. thegreatdebater (1057)   ranked 517 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

The difference here is that Obama isn't complaining about how he is being treating, nor his family. The reason Palin was attacked the way she was is not because she was a women, I would have attacked Rudi Gulliani if he was talking about trust when he cheated on his wife with his kids in the same house. I would say this of ANY politicans who is upset that their family is being attacked. Like I said in my post, I never heard one republican defend Chelsea Clinton when the current leader of the republican party Rush was attacking her. Is that because rich, white men can say anything they want ("babe"), and republican women just think it is fine that they treat women like second class citizens? Your leader is a sexist pig, and he is proud of it, he has been married and divorced so many times, I don't even know which one he is right now. And he is the leader of your party!!

There were many men that wanted the job, but the RNC felt that Palin had the best chance to beat Hilary (which is who many felt was going to be on the ticket). I do blame Sarah because she could have said NO, but HER personal career was more important than her family. I would blame anyone that ran for office and had personal issues, then complained that people were bringing them to light. But, I find it hypocritical that you are going to say that the press attacked Palin because she was a women, when the leader of your party treats them worse. What do you have to say about that?


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 401 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

So why is it supposed to be rough on Palin's family, but not on Obama's family?

If you were center right in persuasion, you wouldn't do it anyway because it's just wrong to do it.

It's one of those things that's okay to do if you are a hard lefty. I hope she does well.

It is a problem of extremes on both sides. The Left just likes to point out the hypocrisy of the "moral" Right whenever possible to show there really isn't alot of difference in morality between those who have differing political agendas. (Except the agenda of controlling other's rights with one's own morals, of course. lol)

I suppose that one would have to wait until one of the Obama girls is old enough to rebel against daddy saying that children are a punishment and run off and elope or get pregnant just to spite him. I suppose Bristol did the same thing when her parents said to wait until marriage and decided not to "because we are in love." It does not matter if one is in the public eye. And Sarah was not to blame for Bristol's pregnancy nor for herself having a baby with Down Syndrome and letting him live. Quote from anti-unborn imperfect baby crowd"*Horrors! I mean how dare she? She should have killed it!"
Of course if she did, then that would have provoked another reaction from the handicapped and disabled who would have assumed that she was against them.
So from what I hear Sarah is to blame because her daughter got pregnant, she had a Down Syndrome baby, she home educated her children, she entered politics, etc.
Sounds as if it is sour grapes and perhaps she entered politics because there was no one else available who would work as hard.
But no matter what happens, if the Obama girls decide to rebel against daddy, or decide to run around, dress crazy, go on motor bikes, go Goth, the press will still consider them little angels because no one is allowed to say anything against the Obamas.


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 401 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

Yeah, the incompetent press gave Obama a complete pass when he said that kids are a punishment.

Of course not. He said BABY'S are a punishment. We have to make sure we use the correct wording here.

I seem to remember Obama's kids being brought up on stage when he was running, but when you need a puppet you don't open your mouth. I seem to remember you making a rude remark in a topic you started on here about them. When anyone running for office or anything else in fact, is it too much for you to act like an adult, if you have to ridicule the person running then so be it, but damn leave the kids out of it. It take a really low life to make a statement about a child. Obama's time is coming, I assure you, and he won't like it but don't see him making any remarks to stop doing this to Palin. And as I read through some of the responses you got, it appears to me that there are a bunch of people that are so jealous of this woman, or is that afraid of what she might do once she was in Washington, I bet a bunch of the cr*ap going on right now would not be happening. Yes I agree when you run for office you are putting your whole life out there, but the cowards only pick on the kids, they are not able to defend their selves. Things are getting worse instead of better, and believe me when they start on Obama it won't be pretty. His being president, I guess gives him a right to stop it against his kids but not against others. You don't see much of Obama's kids cause she has her face plastered all over every mag and paper you see. I don't like her and I dont' like him so I could care less what they do, I know he is running us in the ground and people too blind to see it.

Four, ever listen to right wing hate radio? The same group that called Obama a muslim terrorist, and said that he was going to convert the country to Islam? The same people that did the very same thing to Chelsea Clinton. Do you consider them to be "one evil entity that has no class and bounderies"? I do.


myLot reputation of 61/100. foursox212 (175)   ranked 168 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

Been listening to talk radio for years and funny how I never heard anyone say Nobama was going to convert everyone to muslim? LOL, Let me guess it was Rush!!

Secondly you wanna talk about his muslim roots didn't he all of the sudden become proud of them when He was on his Bash america first tour??? If they bash Obama's daughters then sure they're evil but so far nothing compares to the treatment of Palin's kids.


myLot reputation of 45/100. thegreatdebater (1057)   ranked 517 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

Four, they bashed the Clinton's daugher didn't they. Even McCain got in on the fun, and yet no one on the right attacked either. It must be that you can only be upset when it is a REPUBLICAN who has their children attacked.


myLot reputation of 61/100. foursox212 (175)   ranked 168 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

Debater, you keep bringing up Rush and I don't think it's right on either side but come on, the left was one angry bunch just cause of Sarah's policies and came at those kids like a pack of wolves and still do, I know Rush called Chelsea a dog and so on and I don't defend that but come on, there was some pretty low stuff out there IMO.


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 401 out of 6,392 in politics  6 months ago

Rush Limbaugh did make a joke about Chelsea, but it wasn't anywhere near the lies and smeres the incompetent press has been to the Palin family... and when Rush made that one joke, the press was there to call him out for it. When we call out the press for their treatment, mindless idiots come out defending the press and trashing Rush Limbaugh.

They enjoy the abuse of kids... as long as the kids are from conservative families.

In spite of my instinct to say "what goes around comes around," I would still be horrified such attacks would be brought by the MSM against innocent children, whomever their parents are. I wish they would treat such behavior by the MSM as child abuse just the same way they would treat someone trying to abduct a kid off the street. Hopefully that would put an end to it.

Has the Palin family been treated badly? I've heard a couple idiots with bad jokes (and they were called out on them by the press), and I remember the Far Right morality cops coming after Palin for her daughter's life choices, but the mainstream media has been pretty quiet until this latest publicity stunt.

As for President Obama's girls: they have been removed from the spotlight as much as possible. If they start to get out on their own, I'm sure you'll get your wish.

Are you living under a rock? The incompetent press came out with a story saying that Trig is actually Bristol's baby, but Palin faked a pregnancy to cover it up.

Spall, NO mainstream media outlet reported or repeated the vicious story about Trig. From what I understand that was started by one sick online blogger. The first I'd ever been aware such stories had existed was when I read it here on myLot after Bristol's pregnancy had been announced.
