the claim that liberals are CRITICAL of Palin for choosing to have her son....

Brain of J.Lo

If I hear one more allegation that liberals are criticizing Sarah Palin for choosing to give birth to a child with Down Syndrome, I think I might go on a violent rampage.

(Don't worry, it'll be an angry laundry-folding rampage...but it'll be fast and furious, for sure!)

I've heard this allegation 4 times now...yet I've heard absolutely NO one actually criticizing her choice. Is this infuriating anyone else? As a pro-choice mother, I find this absolutely revolting.

the pro-lifers have been doing this spin bullshit for years.

I heard this being thrown around on Hannity's radio show yesterday evening but really no where else. I have a simple rule what ever Sean Hannity says I believe the opposite.

The right wing conservative republican talking heads always do the same thing, the left wing liberal Democrat talking heads do it too just to be clear. Instead of talking about legitimate topics they always resort to Old Faithfull, the liberals and their attacks on people with morals and values. So they start talking about this made up attack on Palin and her decision to keep her child and by saying it enough times the retards who believe every word these jackasses say will start to believe it to be true.

That's a good rule to have.

I heard (from someone else) that Rush Limbaugh was going on about this a few days ago. Haven't looked it up, and I certainly didn't hear it first hand. I also just heard an evangelical talking head say it on MSNBC (which inspired me to rant here) and someone else mentioned it this morning, but I can't remember who. I was distracted at the time.

I also think Elisabeth Hasselbeck might have mentioned it...but who the fuck cares what she thinks? LOL

Ugh, I know. Believe me, I am not trying to imply that the left has clean hands on this issue.

I'm really fed up.

Look at the sources, Limbaugh, Hannity and Hasselback. If you put the three of them together they haven't had an original thought of their own in over 8 years. Pretty much anything that comes out of their mouths if fucking garbage.

I like listening to people like Limbaugh, Hannity, Olberman. I try to run the whole gammit when it comes to these gas filled meat sacks. The pure unfiltered garbage that they all spew is actually entertaining. Then I remember that there are millions of people out there that believe these people and I loose all hope for this country.

I used to listen to O'Reilly on a nightly basis because I found some pleasure in getting angry at him, lol. I had to stop when I was diagnosed with pregnancy-induced hypertension, and never started back up again. It's not funny anymore because, as you say, there are too many people believing it.

MSNBC had a McCain supporting preacher on about a half hour ago ... he said something along the lines of he was happy that Palin kept her baby, despite all the liberal criticism ...

The anchor then asked, who was it that said she shouldn't keep the baby?

His answer was that, oh, he was certain there are were doctors out three that would say to get rid of the baby as it will be a financial and emotional burden.

He wanted to call Obama a baby killer .... which is what I heard some senetor form New Mexico call Obama yesterday

EXACTLY ... which is my point. He wanted to call Obama and the democrats baby killers. You could just sense it.

Just once I would love for the candidates to tell all their supporters, strategist and aides to shut the fuck up. Just once I would love both candidates to agree to keep the campaigns clean and only focus on the issues and to reinforce that pact with their posses. I love politics but I can't stand all the bullshit that tags along with it.

Yeah, he really did say that she did so against the advice of people around her. I don't remember his exact wording, but Nora O'Donnell does get credit for trying to make him say exactly WHO was pressuring/criticizing. It was infuriating.

I would too. There is so much at stake, yet it is treated (by almost all who are involved) like a petty game.

agree.

the thing is, the american population is SO damn short sighted, almost none of this matters ... can anyone remember what was going on 3 months ago with this run to the white house .... hell, 3 weeks ago?

the debates will determine this election ... I bet 25% of the population won't make up their mind until the weekend before the election.
