Trig is a BABY! Mothers defend BABIES. Maybe someday Trig will punch somebody’s lights out, but today he is UNDER THREE YEARS OLD. Get it? DEFENSELESS.
Then why does Sarah knowingly and willfully subject her family to these "terrible" insults.
You know, her commenting on Rahm Emanual saying 'effin retard was really stupid and shows how she is looking to be insulted.
If this were Mitt Romney's or George W. Bush's Down Syndrome child, outrage would be universal, and understood. There would be no apologists blaming Romney or Bush for bringing it on themselves and their families by being public figures. Nobody would suggest it was, “no big deal.” There would be nary a post or thread patronizing the “joke,” telling their supporters that their candidate was “overreacting” in answering an interview question in such a way. It simply would not happen for almost anyone else but Sarah Palin.
No, Judith, such is the frustration Palin haters have with her support that they cannot bring themselves to be of the same just and righteous mindset they would be of if it were Mitt Romney or George W. Bush, or for that matter, just about any other GOP national figure. Instead, they slowly devolve. First, she just can't win. Soon after, she's actually as dumb as the Liberals say. Next comes she's a “quitter.” Not longer after that, she doesn't even have any real Conservative accomplishments. A short time later, she's not even really Conservative.
And then after a little more time, the flood gates open and they find themselves blaming Sarah Palin for the vitriolic attacks on her and her family. She had it coming! Besides SHE'S the one “rubbing her family in everyone’s face for political gain.” Then they fully devolve to moments like this: where they find themselves on the side of the people making fun of a Down Syndrome infant, actually more critical of Sarah Palin speaking out against it than of the culprits who should be universally condemned.
That is the hatred, deep-seeded hatred Sarah Palin evokes in people. Make no mistake about it. Just take the time to read the comments of anti-Palin apologists on FR like BRL. Everything Sarah does is wrong, everything. Even when it's right, it's somehow wrong. Even standing up for her Down Syndrome baby Trig when asked to comment about the “joke” is wrong. That's how far they devolve. Trig had it coming, and Sarah's the one REALLY to blame. Besides, she should just shut up; or, as UNBELIEVABLY stated by an anti-Palinite in this very thread, SHE should apologize to the folks at Family Guy for overreacting.
There is nothing like PDS, nothing. I have never seen anything like this. I have never seen people on FR actually lose their sense of basic human dignity just out of disdain for a candidate's popularity here. This is truly unprecedented.
