Boo Fricken Hoo! The GOP is upset that Liberal bloggers are tearing down their VP candidate!

[bluesbassman]

First of all I don't believe that candidate children themselves are fair game. I also don't believe that the vast majority of blogs and posts are attacking any children, and if any do, they should be denounced immediately. What they are doing however, is bringing to light the incredibly poor decisions that Sarah Palin has and is continuing to make. This is something the MSM should be doing, but in their absence, we're left with the blogs, and thank goodness we have them.

1. cry me a river

they own the airwaves, we run the internets. deal with it.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. hypocrites..

[TwilightGardener]

Funny, they didn't cease and desist with the email smear campaigns against Obama.

[IndianaGreen]

3. Fuck the Republican Party and fuck the Republicans!

McCain and Palin want to make decisions for our families, but they claim a right to privacy when it involves the scandals in their families.

[mwb970]

4. Poor babies!

It's so unfair....since they would never tear down any of our candidates....

[akangel2008]

9. repubs may be pricks for lots of reasons but I don't remember them going after Obama and his young

mother as a campaign tactic. Children should be off limits. Like I've said many times, being an Alaskan there are LOTS of real issues that can be trumpeted besides her young daughters baby. While repubs may not give us the courtesy we need to be above board and not stoop to their level.

14. No they just called him a muslim and a terrorist.

[akangel2008]

24. Correct & that is the kind of stuff we should be targeting; not the daughter nt

[mwb970]

17. Did you happen to read the OP?

It mentions that children are indeed off limits. Both McCain and Palin have displayed terrible judgment on numerous occasions, and discussing this is absolutely necessary. We mustn't let America get saddled with these two!

[Kahuna]

32. FCOL!!! Another one!

:grr:

[HughMoran]

5. What? So Palin is a redneck stoner who has a teenage pregnant child and had a child too late in life

Apparently she CAN'T EVEN MANAGE HER OWN LIFE. She just simply is not qualified to be President.

(I went off on a tengent - I know - I just love the sound of my description of her)

[AlCzervik]

6. the very same rw that has tried to advance "Obama is a muslim", that right wing?

fuck off right wing.

[NewJeffCT]

7. GOP to liberal bloggers

[samuraiguppy]

8. does anyone know

how to get a job as a liberal blogger? I imagine DU has several people that do this kind of thing...

[neomonkey]

10. Yeah, tell that to Chelsea,

you disingenuous, hypocritcal human garbage.

[im1013]

11. And I just love how they tried to blame it on Obama!

:mad:

[Phredicles]

12. Oh sure. And the Rethugs were never anything but kind to Chelsea Clinton

People have been mentioning McCrash's joke. And remember Limbosevic's "White House dog" joke? What what did she ever actually do?

The issue is not Bristol Palin's conduct. The issue is Sarah Palin's deceit and McCrash's incompetence.

[RagAss]

13. Blame the Dems?...Why ?...Is the Baby's father a Dem???? LOL

[AkFemDem]

15. Obama is upset about it too.

I think DU now has all of Alaska's hockey-mom slash feminists signed up! ;-)

[IndianaGreen]

22. How much are they paying you for acting concerned?

:eyes:

[the Sundance Kid]

26. sure you're a Dem, sure

[Kahuna]

16. Yeah. Three days ago they were all smug touting what a superb choice Gidge was..

:rofl:

[IndianaGreen]

25. Gidget was nice and innocent. Sarah Palin is nothing of the sort.

Like you, I smell fear in the air from the GOP.

[dcindian]

19. "Obama's Baby Mama,"

Yep the same group who cheered that statement now crying like the little babies. Screw them, their broken VP, and their crazy Presidential candidate....

[progressivebydesign]

21. So Bush & Rove can go after McCain's CHILD.... but we're the bad guys?

Shit. The GOP went after McCain's daughter in 2000 when he had the audacity to run against Bush. The shit they did was horrific -- not to mention they went after McCain implying he was insane, PTSD, and his child was his illegitimate black child. Not ONLY did McCain kiss up to Bush and Rove repeatedly since then, the fucker HIRED the guy that orchestrated the filthy attacks on McCain's own family.

Now those pukes want to chastise US for hitting below the belt??? Since their trolls read DU, and are paid to do so...

I've got a link for ya right here (if they haven't scrubbed it already): http://bartcopnation.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=8&topic_id=522 From Bartcop, and it's really pretty offensive, so forgive me for posting it, but the GOP is offensive!

Take that, GOP, and shove it up your ass.

(on edit) I think it says a lot about the bigotry in the GOP, that a tactic used to sink McCain was to say that he had a "black" child, and it worked against him. How fucked up is that?

[TwilightGardener]

27. They're still hiding Bridget--she's not even on the People cover--but the preggo is.

[bobd0]

23. Perhaps someone should point out to them that it was a conservative blogger who came up with Palin

Fucking hypocritical bastards that they are. :)

[tandem5]

28. This is the bottom line that I get from the whole thing...

Because of rumors floating around about fake pregnancies Palin couched what would have otherwise been a very uncomfortable revelation to the republican base as vindication in the face of liberal slander - and she gets to talk pro-life values to boot... made villains of her democratic foes and energized the base. From the political standpoint I don't think the GOP is that "upset."

[Kahuna]

31. Nonsense. This is the last thing they want to discuss. nt

[tandem5]

35. they dont want to discuss it - they want it out the way with the least damage

and rumors of fake pregnancy was a pretty nice excuse.

[BumRushDaShow]

36. As long as she is on the ticket, their fundie base naturally stays intact but

this reality show's melodrama should make independents, a group who they have been trying to court, take pause.

[TexasLady]

29. The Dish It Out, Can't Take It Crowd

I love the internets..:D

[TransitJohn]

30. They're just reaping what they've sown

with their dirty campaigning since Reagan. Willy Horton? Swift Liars? They have no call to be upset.

[BumRushDaShow]

33. Jeremiah Wright. 24 frickin' 7. Month after frickin' month.

And they can't take one day. :eyes:

34. He'll Be Back In October

37. At this point it is yesterday's news. Americans crave sex, lies, and videotape. n/t
