She is not cold-blood Dukakis. Trig is very dear to her. Politically, I agree that she shouldn’t react to every singe mock about Trig. She has made it clear now that mocking or saying making fun of Trig is not something she appreciates. I hope she will be selective in the future.
She was asked to comment on it since she is an advocate for the special needs community. She said it best on BOR’s show, she said that when she gave her RNC speech she said that she would be an advocate for those with special needs, and even though she did not become VP, that did not change. When someone trashes special needs children, I don’t blame her at all for calling them out on it.
I think it’s a hilarious show. I hate the PC crowd and that goes for both the liberals and conservatives. I don’t think we can have it both ways.
When the show makes fun of gays, we all laugh, when it makes fun of Palin it’s not allowed?
I don’t think so.
People need to relax a little more. I miss the days of making fun of people and being made fun of right back. Ethnic jokes, short jokes, bald jokes, dumb blonde jokes, etc. We used to laugh a lot more as a country.
The problem is she cannot have it both ways. If she really really really wants to make it stop more than anything else, then get out of public life. But she has made it very clear that her public life is more important than her family not enduring these snide comments. But then she plays the victim role when the snide comments come. It is not wise. She needs to ignore it and take more the attitude of willingness to expose her family to these things in the name of helping the country.
These people that criticize her for reacting would probably criticize her for not defending her family if she didn’t respond. They hate her for not having an abortion, for having faith, for hunting, for being a Republican, for running for VP, for being a woman with a career, for being too motherly, for being not motherly enough. Nothing that she does escapes their attention and disapproval. Everything anyone who is with her does is scrutinized for hidden messages of antagonism toward her.
She should just be herself, and react as she feels appropriate. When they go so far as to use Down’s Syndrome children to attack her, they have jumped off the cliff. They are really attacking every family when they use children. Which of us has perfect children?
