Obama eats a dog.

Romney ties a dog with diarrhea to the roof of his stationwagon.

And Sarah’s child playfully steps on his dog and there is media outrage.

Note the terror and pain in the dogs eyes.

Or is that boredom...

The dog must already be dead. /sarc

don’t you think the dog is a better judge on whether it was a problem or not? The fact that it just sit there unconcerned

Trig is a special needs child. Discipline is different for a child like him.

Geesh!

This thread is a microcosm as to whats wrong with conservatism. It really is. How much feel good liberal indoctrination can people spot? Because there’s a ton of it to be found.

The dog has prostrated himself to provide the kid a step so he can wash his hand.

The dog knows and loves the kid. The dog has a wider view than extreme political correctness of people that have dogs and not kids

I have been two feet from Sarah and I know she is the real deal. But she does stupid things sometimes, which give ammunition to those who think wrongly that she is stupid. I am face palming over this for her.

It was the wrong set of photos to share with the world. Sheesh. It was something that could easily happen at your house and maybe you even snap a pic. For yourselves. Then you teach him how that hurts doggy and we can’t stand on him. But you don’t send it out to the world as a Gdly greeting, sheesh!

I see those, too. The dog does not look perturbed. The child is not large. The dog is not small. Is it the dog’s dignity that is a cause of so much concern? I suspect it is all because “Sarah Palin.” Her choice of what to eat for breakfast is surely a cause of high indignation and worthy of editorials and a 20/20 segment.

I would not have let my children do this.

That really is the bottom line. And Sarah has once again innocently (and unnecessarily) opened up herself to more criticism.

And, yep, that matters. A politician can be ruined by one big fiasco (think Gary Hart). A politician can also be ruined by a thousand small cuts.

There is another pic of the boy standing on the dog with both feet. But even so, the dog is not showing any sighs of stress and could easily get out from under the boy if he needed to. I think we have all seen, at least in pictures, of dogs standing and laying all over each other in big piles. The whole controversy is contrived.

God bless Sarah Palin for posting the picture.

It brings the nut cases out snarling and foaming at the mouth.

Seriously, could the second day of the year have happier news?

You have a right to your opinion.

.... Hey .... I don't know about you .... but I really don't see a boy standing on his dog in this pic .... I see a boy with his foot on the back of the dog ..... which I do all of the time with my pooch to rub her on her back or belly!

.... I think the look of satisfaction on the dogs face kind of says it all.

Be a better picture if the dog was tied to the roof of Mitt Romney’s car and the boy standing on top of all that.

“As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ‘’Dad!’’ he yelled. ‘’Gross!’’ A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. Mr. Romney responded to his dog’s defecation by “coolly” stopping at a gas station where he “borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway” with Seamus strapped back on the roof.”

“Mitt Romney may not have told the whole truth about the scandalous tale of his Irish Setter, Seamus, being strapped to the roof of his car during a 12-hour [650miles] family road trip to Canada. According to a trusted Politicker tipster, two of Mr. Romney’s sons had an off-record conversation with reporters where they revealed the dog ran away when they reached their destination on that infamous journey in 1983.

Sarah Palin, The Left’s Ms. Inconsequential. Too funny.

That dog loves that little boy. It’s obvious in the videos if anybody else watches the background activities in them.

This dog is specially trained, and can handle anything this kid might send his way. Please go to the link to see what I’m talking about:

As long as she keeps the dog off the car roof....I’m good with it.

This is a non issue foisted on us by the same liberal MSM buttwads who want to give poor inner city raised Michael Vick a second chance.

Good grief! Some people need to think about how a child leans to be gentle with animals and thus other people.
