Stay Classy Daily Kos: Accusations Palin 'Faked Her Pregnancy' of Down's Syndrome Baby

Taking a look at the stories in the Old Media will show that the Media is turning attack dog ASAP on McCain's choice for vice president, Sarah Palin. Notice the main meme is her supposed "inexperience." Funny how Palin was the VP pick for about 15 seconds before the Old Media went after her "inexperience" while they have yet to hit Barry Obama on HIS inexperience at all and he's been running for president since 2004. We should also note that Palin didn't get the honeymoon that Biden got when his announcement was made. But, the worst is yet to come and the Daily Kos is doing its level best to mine the lowest of lows. In a Kos diary today, it is being alleged that Sarah Palin "faked" the pregnancy of her last child, a baby born with Down's Syndrome. The claim is that it was her teenaged daughter's child, not hers. And, true to form, the Kossacks took that absurd calumny and hate even further in the comments.

With all the pseudo gravity the Kos diarist could muster, this ridiculous story of a "cover-up" was floated for the foolish Kossacks to lap up. Inky99 gave us the scurrilous diary headlined "Palin's faked 'pregnancy'? Covering for teen daughter?," in which the Kossacks posit that Governor Palin covered up her own teenage daughter's teen pregnancy by pretending it is her own child instead of her daughter's.

But it appears that Pallin's last child, a baby with Down's syndrome, may not be hers. It may be that of her teenage daughter.

Actually, "it appears" in no way to be true. The diarist gives a story from the Anchoage Daily News that does not in any way prove the diarist's claim -- nor even broach the subject of a faked pregnancy, for that matter.

The Kos diarist then goes on to claim that the "proof" of this claim is that Palin's teenage daughter was sick and out of public eye for a few months earlier in the year.

Apparently her teenage daughter was out of school, unseen, for months, because she "had mono".

And, even if this story is true, why is it one worth pursuing? Why it's because Palin is pro-life, you see...

... seeing as how she's quite willing to butt into the private lives of every other American woman, I think it's fair game.

Yeah. Stay classy Daily Kos.

And the diary entry isn't the worst of it. The comments get more vicious as each one passes. Here are a few...

I agree although you probably meant that in terms of morality. I'm thinking in terms of IQ.

These guys are the scum that scum wipes off the soles of its shoes.

Shows their desperation. I already saw an article on her preganancy and delivery (c-section). As I said in another post:

She is an All-American. Not a drop of liberal poison in her. The Libs hate her.

Yes, but I predict: the mainstream media will somberly report on the "controversy", in a way carefully calculated to plant doubt in the mind of the reader.

Of course, they will continue to ignore the question about Obama's past.

I am beginning to believe the people who deal in this could care less about the United States as a nation - and thrive on stirring up controversy in their desperation to seek
fame for themselves.

Narcissism with a dash of ignorance does well in the world of reportage these days.

Good upstanding people who still desire to inform and keep the bar high in keeping the public aware of events, have no need to get into the sewer.

OMG that is as LOW as you can get!
