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.

Gotcha. Looks like just the first few lines are there and the reader had to click a link to the rest of the story that has been pulled.

Wow, I’ve been away and didn’t know about this. Where was Ted Kennedy on this? Rosemary Kennedy was his sister. Who doesn’t know this story? She was assessed to be either mildly retarded or mentally ill and her father had her lobotomized and put in an institution. The Special Olympics was established by her sister, Eunice, because of it. Seems to me that the democrats should have eaten and spit the author of this out.

It’d be nice if Saracuda would hammer Zero for his asinine handling of the Honduras matter.

and the economy...

and Iran...

and Eric Holder..

but she should first celebrate the 4th and honor her son serving overseas.

Go Sarah.

As I mentioned on an earlier thread, after losing the GOP nomination in 1976, Reagan became the face of the GOP and was able to travel the country attacking Carter and won the presidency in 1980. Palin is now in EXACTLY the same position that Reagan was in 32 years ago.

You betcha. No office to embarrass. No party bosses to tell her what not to say....

Just finishing the books she's writing, going on the talking head circuit, attaching Obama, speaking for various candidates, attaching Obama and the congresscritters, speaking at conferences....etc etc

Carl on FOX said she's only making 100,000 year as gov. and is turning down hundreds of speaking requests that could be making her big bucks.

Unfortunately evil triumphed as Palin resigned.

I personally could never handle the endless democrat party campaign of slander, deceit, criminal defamation, and character assassination against anyone opposed to their evil totalitarian plans.

We don’t have a landline and my cell phone number is a closely guarded secret, but that’s an excellent idea. Personally I’d love to see her spend the next couple of years working with other conservatives to give the leftists a good thrashing until she’s ready to run.

It’s astonishing just how tone deaf the republicans in charge can be and CONTINUE to be.

I'm speechless. I read part of the article and I can't wrap my head around the cruelty and depravity.

Imho, this needs to be used as an example of what the left really is - sociopathic, immature pieces of excrement.

Bless you and everyone else involved in getting Huffington Post to remove this piece of filth.

Has anybody yet mentioned all the wildlife sounds in the background during her speech today? I heard what sounded like birds, ducks, sheep, I don't know what else.
