Free Republic Forces Huffington Post to Pull Offensive Sarah Palin Article
Friday, July 3, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/03/2009 5:10:14 PM PDT by kristinn

Exposure by Free Republic has forced the Huffington Post to take down an article attacking Sarah Palin over her Down Syndrome afflicted child, Trig, within ninety minutes of the offensive article being written about at Free Republic.

Clicking on the source link at the Huffington Post now brings a page devoid of the article and headline. The keywords referencing Trig remain, however the original 'Comedy news' tag has been changed to 'Home news'

The article, entitled "Palin Will Run In '12 on More Retardation Platform" was written by Huffington Post writer Erik Sean Nelson.

The "slower kids" still think that Rooty and Myth Romney are conservatives.

Yeah...that's true. Well, maybe they'll learn a thing or two if they keep hanging out with the brighter pupils. Maybe.

Doubtful. Two years ago most of the Rooty Rooters needed to be shown the door because they couldn’t quite grasp that there was no such thing as a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, gun-grabbing conservative.

Wait until the 2012 election season kicks into gear. We’re gonna see a bunch of country club RINOs entering the field, and all of their supporters will be here wasting Jim Rob’s bandwidth supporting them.

Of course the fact is is no where near being conservative does bring up a wee bit 'o a problem...

She is just acting as a good distraction for a real Republican...Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney IS a real Republican: Yet another neosocialist pro-abortion anti-gun uberliberal.

I'm looking for a real CONSERVATIVE.

HuffPo is plumbing new depths of depraved yellow journalism.

The article, entitled "Palin Will Run In '12 on More Retardation Platform" was written by Huffington Post writer Erik Sean Nelson.

I saw similar stuff on Twitter last night. Loads of comments about Trig, about retardation in the Palin family, etc. Vile, awful stuff. And just as sad was the fact that so very few people were slapping down that crap and supporting Palin.

Conservatives have all but abdicated Twitter, YouTube, Digg, etc. to the lefists. That HAS to change before 2012 or we're in trouble. It takes 60 seconds to sign on to Twitter or YouTube and slap a leftie. Do it once a day--you'll feel better.

More personal attacks in place of reasoned discourse; the Huffington trademark.

Baloney. Why would anyone want to support a liberal?

Yea, Romny, the pro-abortion, public option, socialist, REAL Republican.

He really should come clean and take a position in the Obama administration. Given that Zero needs all the help he can get to destroy our health system, Romny impeccable qualifications for the job.

Not exactly ... see post 125. What you posted may in fact appear on HuffPo now but the author's post elsewhere (as reported in 125) gives lie to the sincerity of the HuffPo CYA post. I'm not buying it. It's "I'm sorry I was caught but I really meant it, wink wink."

There are these two articles appearing about this story that might be of interest:

From the HeraldSun.com.au:

Palin Quits

And from The Barry Rides Blog Spot:

BREAKING: Erik Sean Nelson to be fired from The Huffington Post

But if Erik Sean Nelson is fired, Planned Parenthood might hire him as a PR person...
