NoodleyAppendage (1000+ posts) Sat Aug-30-08 10:26 122. What many here don't understand. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. RUMOR IS TRUTH.

The modern laws of media hype and political warfare have a useful tenet: Repeat ANYTHING or raise false concern over ANYTHING and it is likely to be planted in the conscious/subconscious of many voters.

If people start to think that there might be something fishy with Palin's last kid (if hers), then that's FINE. One more doubt (whether tied to reality or not) is another hesitation at the ballot box.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE. The "rising above it" bullshit has served us so well in the past, hasn't it?

If you have problems with the story, then STFU and get out of the way of Dems who are engaged in MODERN POLITICAL WARFARE. Go tend your garden or some other pedestrian task, because the "concern trolls" are not helping shape the message.

The pictures were allegedly gathered from Bristol Palin’s MySpace and FaceBook pages. If Miss Palin is, in fact, posting pictures of this nature, her Momma needs to have a nice long sit-down with her. Posting pictures of this nature has no place on the net, for a multitude of reasons.

In principal, leaving children of candidates out political discourse sounds wonderful, however, in practice, I think most of us know it is a fantasy. Like it or not, a candidate, and their family, become virtually public property. And the family, I mean the whole family, had better be prepared for the scrutiny.

I'm not saying this is a good thing or a right thing. It is unfortunate, but it is a real thing.

Looks to me like is screen name is apt. Anyone who would deliberately engage in this sort of vileness *must* be a spaghetti d***k...
