It was hideous the way she marketed that baby and kept turning his face

[Peregrine Took]

around for the crowd to see. What about his privacy?

1. It looked like she wasn't used to holding him

Did you notice that? It really struck me.

[Peregrine Took]

3. They totally use him as a prop and sympathy ploy. I really feel sorry for him.

10. This eveining is the first time I have ever seen her or her husband

look at or touch the baby. They use him as a stage prop - that's plain as the nose on her face.

2. I'm part of a special needs family, and that's fucking insulting to all of us.

What kind of family values does one who uses a disabled child for political gain really have?

It's despicable.

[Plausible]

4. Did she breastfeed the baby while making the speech?

I feel a little bad for asking that ...but TV news or afternews news mentioned she is breastfeeding the baby. I could'nt hack watching an RNC convention after the last one with the purple heart bandaids..........but reading here that she had the baby on stage..ummm...I did wonder

8. If she's breastfeeding the baby

that doesn't mean he gets used as a prop. He could be in a quiet room with an attentive sitter.

5. Poor little guy

She's really exploiting him.

6. Did you see the little gril holding him?

I thought that that was just TOO cute when she licked her hand and started combing his hair.

7. Why didn't her father have the baby

That's what I don't understand. It is just weird that that baby keeps being shoved off to one of the girls.

[Stagecoach]

9. I noticed

That he doesn't even LOOK at the baby.

[ComplimentarySwine]

11. I thought that I saw him holding him for a little while n/t

[Top Cat]

12. I agree....... She is using the baby
