Bristol Palin and Sarah Palin pregnancy scandal? Rumors began circulating online Friday about whether Governor Sarah Palin or her daughter Bristol is actually young Trig's mother.
The risk of reporting rumor as news without doing research and your homework for an article, is an embarrassment when the facts eventually come to light.
The rumors began with a popular liberal website, Daily KoS, and certain media outlets reported on them and was even reported here at tPC.
Conservative activists have been pleased Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has tapped Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, observers say.
The Politico reported that the conservative base of the GOP has been reinvigorated given that McCain chose a solidly anti-abortion, pro-gun candidate. For some conservatives, Palin's nomination has spurred them to work for McCain, for whom the party base has, until recently, offered only lukewarm support.
And that might be the very reason why this story has surfaced.
The reports focused on photos of Republican vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, showing that she didn't appear to be really pregnant, then the story followed with supposed "proof" that the baby was her daughter's, Bristol Palin. Kos "proved" Bristol had missed time at school and then they produced pictures of her daughter which they claimed showed her to be "pregnant."
The photo that KoS used and claimed was taken on March 9, 2008, was taken in Wasilla, Alaska in 2006.
No matter how you do the math, there just isn't any way a girl could be pregnant from 2006 to April of 2008.
Keep in mind that secular progressives have simply fabricated this for a lack of any real dirt. The Daily KoS and those that have reported on the speculated rumor as truth, without doing their homework and just repeating the rumor, have all now maligned a 17 year old girl and her mother who is the vice presidential running mate on the Republican ticket.
These people have no shame.
Bristol is not a Public person. She should have a lawyer sue these sites and shut them down. Mrs. Oil money Huffington has enough money from her divorce to pay her millions.
More stuck-on-stupid.
***Not a surprise though. If they cant find a scandal they will invent one. Disgusting.***
Correction: Because they cannot find a scandal -
they will create one.
Calling Dan Rather!
Fixed your post. Hope you don't mind

hey! if that were true, the msm would be embarrassed all the time.

Another piece of scum on the earth dreaming up story’s.

The kos krud and DU scum are incapable of truth. Fabricating lies is their strong suit. May their servers crash and burn.........permanently.
Nice one Joe! Post it everywhere!
Look at the double chin in this picture....that is really hard to fake...that is weight gain from pregnancy....from a very sports savvy athletically fit women who really enjoys exercise.
Agreed.
Kids have always been off limits, KOS needs to go down over this.
Sue them out of existance.
Quite the contrast to the Edwards story that the buried for a week, isn’t it? Instead, the media runs with the first piece of garbage that they can find from one of the most biased sites on the internet.
I hope the websites and media outlets pushing this crap get sued for every dime they’re worth.
Gotta hand it to the KOS kids... McCain vets this woman for over a month, but within 24 hours — using only Google — the KOS people find naked pictures of her AND uncover a pregnancy scandal. /sarcasm
man they must be really planking it over there on kos to come out with this...
If I’m not mistaken, this rumor was traced back to Obama and one of his websites as the original source.
The rumor was totally debunked when a fellow passenger at the Anchorage airport ran across Governor Palin and said Governor Palin was clearly pregnant at the time.
Which reminds me, Nancy Pelosi, Governor Palin sold the state jet on eBay for two plus million dollars, saying she would use commercial flights. That alone separates Governor Palin from those Democrats who believe they are entitled to special treatment and special perks of their office.
The Obama and Democrat attack machine that uses the politics of personal destruction will have more attempts in the future, but unlike President Bush, these are going to be countered effectively as fast as they come out.
Considering they aren't worth more than cow dung, I'd settle for just shutting them down.
