This became a national news story, even though it might have been shown to be an urban myth and just plain bad reporting. Well, in today's Boston Globe a right wing radio talk show host complains about about the reversal of fortune of some of his listeners when he brings up that Palin and her Todd are bad parents and gets taken to task by his audience demanding that it is a private issue in phone calls and emails . So he starts to compare the emails and finds that people who once called the teens in Gloucester sluts and the parents poor and at worst evil are now claiming privacy rights. He finds 70 instances of emails from the same people reversing their previous beliefs. Are we not surprised?

Good that he's calling them on it though.

5. Well maybe THIS will be the end of smearing AAs for being the SOLE source of the

"single-female household black teenage unwed mothers" club bullshit.

They so keep backing themselves into corners. :rofl:

7. He obviously doesn't understand

that there is one set of rules for "us" and another set for "them."

8. Doesn't suprise me one little bit.

9. Right wing media was indignant about the Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy

but is silent on the Bristol Palin pregnancy.

Hhhmm....
