How would you react if the Obama girls were treated in the incompetent press as

I'd react the same way as I do to the treatment of the Palin family. There's no excuse for going after a politicians child. Go after the politician all you want, but leave the young ones out of it.

The sad part is, some people are brushing the Palin family treatment off because "Conservatives did it, too". It doesn't matter who does it, it's a deplorable act to go after a child for any reason, and those who brush it off because someone else did it need to be shunned for the partisan hacks they are.

I dislike Palin a great deal - but you'd never see me go after her children and insult them. That's just scummy and low.

Ted, I thought long and hard about whether I should bother responding to this and subject myself to another vicious assault from you. Obviously, against my better judgment here I am. I'm just SOOOO sick and tired of reading about poor Sarah, the mistreated victim! Clearly, when it comes to anything about the Palin's anything but glowing praise is seen as an attack and nothing the press - with the possible exception of the Fake News Network - says or does will ever be seen as anything BUT incompetent by you and others like you. What would YOU like the press to do to President Obama's little girls? They're not old enough to date, they probably don't even pick their own clothes to wear to school! Now tell me what the press has done to terrible to the Palin family; I mean the entire press as a group, not just a lone blogger who tried to start a vicious rumor or who wrote a sick article making fun of the mentally challenged.

Let's see, what have I heard from the press about the Palin children...
I know the oldest son in currently serving in Iraq; I hardly consider that being an attack, for it to be reported that a candidate's son is serving his country.
I know that Bristol became pregnant at 17, she got engaged, she had a baby boy, she broke up with Levi and then she became an activist for abstinence. I learned all of these things from Sarah or Bristol themselves, not from the incompetent press.
I know Trig, the youngest, is a special needs child with Downs Syndrome. I also got that information directly from Sarah.
I know next to nothing about the other two daughters. I've seen them with their parents several times but that's about it. People on the right got a big charge out of bringing Willow up following David Letterman's tasteless joke but that wasn't the incompetent press's fault unless you're now calling the right-wing media "incompetent" since either they or Sarah and Todd Palin themselves brought Willow into that equation when the could have easily voiced their displeasure at a very bad joke clearly meant to be about Bristol without mentioning the younger daughter. Those who brought Willow into it are incompetent child abusers, how do you like that, but it wasn't David Letterman or anyone from the "liberal" media!

There are good people, there are bad people and there are incompetent people in every walk of life and that includes the right, the left and the press. How would I react if the Obama girls were treated as "bad as the Palin family has been treated"? If one of them becomes pregnant at 17 I don't doubt that the press will report on it and talk about it. I can't think of another example right off the top of my head that would apply, can you?
