“...is was O.K. for the DUmpsters, KOS clowns, and Huffers to savagely smear Sarah Palin’s kids, especially infant Trig?”

I was over at KOS poking around and I see they are still going on about who Trig’s real mother is. Can you believe they are demanding that the Palins produce Trig’s birth certificate? Is that rich or what?

[Madame Dufarge]

Usually we just let the bad ones die of starvation.

You're entirely correct.

[VanillaMilkSheikh]

Wow, I really should have previewed that.

"I'm not going to go along to get along anymore. This mister nice guy crap is getting to be over the top.

The Republicans in Congress & the Senate are wimping out with your same excuses...we have to be nice & above the fray."

You're kidding, right? Are you actually saying to be strong and be a winner we need to behave like trash?!

I'm deadly serious. You are the one saying 'we need to behave like trash' I did not say that.

I meant what I said. I will not be okay with the left being outraged ONLY by what Conservatives do. I will not sit in judgement when people fight back in whatever way they choose to express their opinions.

Silence is consent - so by not retaliating with disgust is to condone what the left is doing to Conservatives.

Discrimination is being touted as a MUST for us - but they are pretty quick to pretend 'outrage' when they are not the ones doing it.

So you reposted it newbie?

Are you the troll that posted it?

[Arrowhead1952]

Nope. No Grey Poupon at my desk. I learned early to stay off the threads that have a tendency to provoke attacks on spouses and children of politicians. Those are fodder for the left-wing nutcases.

[fullchroma]

No more double standards. Equality for all, good, bad or ugly.

Hey, if throwing word feces at little girls makes you happy and if you think it will advance Conservatism...

[buccaneer81]

spouses

Fair game if they insert themselves into the fray. Michelle did that last year with her "First time I'm proud to be an American" tripe.

A handful of objectionable posts out of over 160 on that thread.

[buccaneer81]

He got the ZOT!

[I see my hands]

"This thread is about what Malia WORE and the comments her T-shirt garnered. I guess you have a hard time concentrating."

Your assertion regarding this thread is wrong. It’s about appropriate posting not about dress, per se.

In any event you asserted I care about the kid’s clothing and that I think it is important what they wear.
(“And what they WEAR is important because?”)
I don’t know his kid’s names, don’t know what they look like, don't care what they wear. Didn’t post on the thread in question or any similar to it.

Your guess regarding the effort required for me to concentrate is wrong, too.

You just make things up and then back fill with more made up junk.

[dforest]

I guess one of the offenders got smoked out.

I was on that thread. I was careful about what I said, but I have to wonder about some of this being a setup by people like that milkshake troll.

When side by side photos of Hillary and the Wicked Witch of the West are posted, that's fine. But post a picture of Michelle Obama next to one of Aunt Esther and it's racist?

Ah, the classic straw man. Hillary Clinton is not, to my knowledge, green, nor were the pictures of a witch simply about her being a woman. And, by the way, I've objected to attacks here against Chelsea Clinton, too.

That double standard doesn't fly.

What double standard? The comparison between Hillary Clinton and the witch does not rely solely on race or sex for the comparison to be meaningful. What does Michelle Obama have in common with Aunt Esther other than her race? Do their personalities have anything in common?

[Sloth]

Yes, for some strange reason that I just can't put my finger on, the threads about the Obama's never include pictures or quotes from The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, or Petticoat Junction.

Strange claim, as I've seen pictures portraying Obama as Barney Fife, Joe Isuzu, Jesus, Steve Carell, Adolf Hitler, Spock, Superman, Alfred E. Neuman, etc.

[DJ MacWoW]

You said: This mister nice guy crap is getting to be over the top.

From that statement it is not clear what you intend. Defense is great. Offensive offense we can do without.

Our side did very well against Letterman. We need to be outraged but not offensive.

[buccaneer81]

What does Michelle Obama have in common with Aunt Esther other than her race?

Facial expression when she gets emotional. That has nothing to do with race.

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, I even try not to reply to those involving spouses. I will at times, but sometimes I use this.

*****************

Actually, I think they do have something in common. Both are angry women.

[Lakeshark]

I think I saw saw that thread on the end. If it’s the same one, OhioWfan was on that thread, telling certain posters how they shouldn’t be going after the Obama kids. She posted often, and forcefully, the KOS author conveniently forgot to mention her.
