I think Palin is well within her bounds to complain about the treatment her children have received. And I see a slight difference between criticism of her and outright lies. But, I do agree she needs to stop with the ain't it awful. It really isn't helping her image as a strong, conservative woman.

We hate to pile on,
No you don't, but it did cause me to smile as I imagined your thought process in writing that.

Obviously, to "some people", the pot calling the kettle black is perfectly ok...so I guess hypocrisy isn't in the repuke dictionary...

"Some people" need to troll elsewhere instead so that "some people" will actually have the chance of swaying the opinion of other trolls...because I guarantee "some people", it isn't going to happen here....we really don't give a rat's a$$ what some trolling buzzards have to say about anything...
"some people" need to stick to Faux noise...

Axey -
Did you feel that Rush Limbaugh calling Chelsea Clinton the "White House Dog" was deserved or appropriate...because he never apologized, he simply deflected.
And you're probably right about the piling. In fact, the first thing I thought when I read that was "Hell no - pile it on!" In fact, I hope every dirty and corrupt secret comes to light, and Palin in buried neck high in her own shit. (But I don't discriminate on this point, I'd just as soon see the same for any corrupt Democrats and that includes the sitting president - I just don't think their shit stacks quite as high.)
Anyway, I second the notion that you go troll elsewhere, your posts are extremely tiresome and on this site toads like you are inevitably squashed...remember HHMCOR (or whatever his name was?)

What is a troll?

I didn't know he did. This is the 1st time I've seen this allegation. I'll go look for it to see what said and how the Clintons responded.
I just don't think their shit stacks quite as high.)
I'm not surprised.

With the welcoming committee that Brad has here, I'm not surprised he gets so little comments to his investigative journalism.

It appears "pallin' around with terrorist" palin is just going to slowly disappear into the sunset.
At least for now - good riddance, Alaska is MUCH BETTER OFF without you!

And you were expecting...? Are we supposed to 'debate' wingnut talking points? Sorry, I'd rather give them the credence they deserve, which amounts to 'squash and flush.'

Well, somebody's daughter got knocked up at 18 and it wasn't Hillary's.
Old double standard Palin can dish it out but she can't take it.
In her quittin speech, she said a good point guard holds her head up, protects the ball so that she can avoid the defense and help the team score. She then went on to say "that is why i'm keeping my on the ball"
When she had her eye on the ball, she wasn't keeping her head up, her daughter got knocked up and she lost an election and any shred of respectability she may have maintained throughout her pathetic eight months of politicin'.
By the way, was Obama waiving to Palin on her front porch in AK when he was getting off
air force 1 in Russia???

No, the big O wasn't waving to Sara P from Russia. He was too busy checking out a jailbait's rear end. In regards to Bristol Palin- is she only person that ever had a baby out of wedlock? Good grief! check out Hollywood, they're shelling them out like peas and proud of it.

Jena - trust me, nobody here really gives a shit that Bristol Palin was banging her beau under her parents' roof (apparently with their full knowledge)...and nobody cares that she got knocked up, or that their relationship failed (Levi and Bristol)...
What we do care about, however, is the hypocrisy of the conservative hardline on abstinence education and abortion. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a Governor and Presidential candidate as a mother to lend support for a child born to a young mother out of welock.

We know where "Jena" is getting her talking points. The Obama "checking out a jailbait's rear end" mantra propelled by Faux News has been thoroughly debunked see here, but that won't keep the liars at Faux News and their pathetic followers from continuing to "catapult the propaganda".

The irony of the ever continuing saga of Sarah is that the "iceberg" may be actually hitting from her excuse for quitting. Instead of her "nobody really knows" reason for quitting.

I hope you were kidding in #18, Agent 99. As much as there is to criticize about Obama, piling on with the Obama as a "tailchaser" crap just dilutes the impact of the real things he is guilty of (not to mention that most people, myself included, probably don't care if he checks out a well-shaped derriere when one presents).

(#19) IDONTGETIT ~ excellent point. Something is melting-down.
I was also SPECULATING (yes, I'm cyber-yelling the word just for clarity) that maybe the big "iceburg" is really a bunch of itty-bitty-but-plenty-shitty "icefloes". Or a few mightily-packed and hard-rolling snowballs (a more suitable analogy for Palin's apparently thinning, super-sensitive skin.)
Too many ethics investigations that she's paying for out of her own pock --- wait, no. The Alaskan taxpayers are paying for --- wait, no --- the Dept. Of Law is...no, it's her defense fund that's having to shell out $30,000 clams an hour for attorney's fees, right?

Palin preaches abstinence...then her unmarried daughter gets knocked up. When it's pointed out, she cries she's being "picked on"! wtf??? Another HUGE break the Palin's received from the media! Just pointing this out, isn't being "picked on". She deserved to be picked on for that! THAT...is called HYPOCRISY!

I am kidding, but it looked in both the still and the video as though he were checking out that tail... and could hardly have avoided it... and, having entirely too much experience in this sort of thing, I do not see how ogling someone's butt amounts to chasing tail. Whatever. At least he was less undignified about it than Sarkozy, but that was sort of the theme for this G8 Summit, anyway: undignified.

Listen, in all serious - and regardless of his sexuality - I'd think something was wrong with him if he didn't do a doubletake on that particular derriere. Come to think of it, if someone's going to have their finger on the button, I want them to appreciate a great ass, because that's what they'll be blowing up - a lot of great ass. I think that's why everyone felt so at ease with Clinton in the White House. And conversely perhaps that was part of what made me so uncomfortable with Bush - I don't think he'd know a great ass if it fell in his lap (it didn't.)

Wasn't Palin's whole purpose as the VP nominee to have a great ass?

Try as hard as you can and I don't think you could write a sentence as poorly constructed as Sarah's. As a child we used to sit around the dining room table and laugh hysterically at my father's Aunt Edith's letters. Sarahs rambling statements are pretty much the same thing. And though funny on the surface, pretty scary to think that this may get her to the White House.

The right needs to learn to fight. The left plays the dirty game. Sarah just found out how dirty.
Ensign, resigned? No. Sanford, impeached? No. And neither of them have quit after having their extra-marital affairs exposed.
Meanwhile, Fox News keeps pushing a talking about Obama that has been thoroughly debunked, and the Left plays the dirty game?

Comment #27...Foxwood....
So I go to the link you posted...the first 6 words were:
"The strategy of the commie left"...
The word commie is a hot link to another page on the same site that gives the webster's dictionary definition as stated in Marx's communist manifesto...
Hence the site has conflated and hysterically associated liberal thought in America and Marx's communist manifesto as one and the same...
And these extreme right wingers wonder why no one takes them seriously anymore.

The idea that the media is "liberal" in any meaningful sense is absurd. News organizations are massive corporations that generate revenue by selling (often privileged) audiences to big advertisers. Accordingly, the resulting news has a pro-business tilt.
Palin's complaints miss the big picture, and her analysis (not surprisingly) lacks any strength whatsoever.
That's That Woman for you.

Excellent link, Clint! I couldn't agree more and have been DYING to hear someone say exactly this:
"It would do crucial justice to the sanity of this country if there were a moratorium on continued discussion of That Woman. All statements and speculations about “2012″ and the word “presidential” or “candidate” should be abandoned in the context of her name...
"That Woman has resigned her office due to ‘public scrutiny’ and the ‘pressures of the press’. Why not accept her demands and completely stop coverage of anything she or her family members do? You’ll not only catch her out on a lie (because she wants attention) but will revoke her celebrity status and save Americans the pain of having to think of the possibility that she could’ve been one missed heartbeat away from running this country..."
Oh, could we,though? That'd be grand. Palin is having her way with us, and while we sit around wasting our breath trying to repudiate her obvious narcissistic borderline personality disorder to creeps and idiots who WANT to elect stupid people, we are once again collectively, successfully diverted.
What a grand pisser-of-time.
(Tho'many thanks for the astute, factually-backed comments from Blue Hawk, who showed up here just in time to help deftly defend the Fort. You're resilience is nothing short of astounding.)
