Pat Buchanan gets it wrong.. AGAIN!
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 05:46 AM by SoCalDem
People did NOT "hammer" the young pregnant daughter.. Most people could not have cared less about her pregnancy. What "people" were "curious" about were the miraculously "odd" pregnancy of Sarah, and the utter hypocrisy of SARAH's "preaching" about abstinence.
MOST liberals felt sorry for that poor girl, to have to be trotted out in public for the sake of a publicity-hungry mother's gratification. Most mothers would have told John "Thanks, but no thanks!", and preserved what privacy a governor's daughter could muster.

1. That's not news
Now if he actually got something right, that would be news.

5. +1, hobbit709
He is playing a role, pushing his racist ideology.

2. also
anyone catch him say "African Americans will not be showing up in large numbers to vote next time ". Aren't African Americans the most reliable part of the Democratic voting base? This is the second time he has made that claim, and no one calls him on it. He's just saying "Yeah, these people are not interested in politics, just the first African American president." Ugh. I agree that he always makes these "EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF HER FAMILY WAS DESTROYED!" claims, while never providing any evidence.

3. The ONLY time we should have "seen" those kids, was at the convention
I'm guessing that the McCain staff was not all that pleased to be living in Kiddie Playland 24/7.

4. I never even think of her kids when I think of Sarah Palin
that's such a crutch by her defenders to wave off what we're really talking about when it comes to her many shortcomings. Also, Mika was saying that Frank Rich "took a shot" at Palin's daughter in his column, but she didn't read that part of the column today, conveniently. What is she talking about?

6. There have been accusations that people went after the baby, Trig, too,
and that definitely never happened. The only person exploiting a special needs kid was his mother.

7. people didn't hammer the young daughter ...
they questioned how an "abstinence-only" advocate ended up with a grandchild by her teen daughter who apparently didn't follow Mommy's advice ...

(and from what I heard in my Alaskan vacation in 2008, it's hard to NOT know pretty much everybody in town in Alaska ...)
