How should Palin deal with Baby Gate?
Sept 1, 08 | self

Posted on 09/01/2008 12:57:40 AM PDT by woofie

How do people think that the next VP of the United States of America, Sarah Palin, should handle thie stuff about Trig being not her's but her 16year old daughter's baby?

I think it should be addressed very soon and she should spell out the allegations so that all know what the left is busy working on. Then I would suggest she laugh it off with a remark like 'I dont know it sure felt like I had a baby."

In short point out the absolute absurdity of these people and not dignify any of it with anger

Any other thoughts? or ideas?

why should she have to respond? If they want to act like idiots, let them. It’s already creating a backlash against the left.

There is no “Baby Gate”. The whole thing is BS! She should treat it with the contempt it deserves.

My mother always gave me great advice on crap like this:

Ignore inappropriate behavior.

I would just like her to make them suffer in the best of all possible ways ...and Im not sure anger will do it..

Being laughed at is often what they hate most

Mark Twain said it best: "A rumor is like a hornet. You either ignore it or kill it with the first blow. Anything else just stirs up trouble."

Seeing as she would have nothing to gain by acknowledging their accusation, much less try to answer, IMHO she --personally-- should do nothing; let her supports carry the water on this one. After all, "they" will never believe it, no matter who says what.

The hospital shows 2 babies born that day. Neither were Trig. She’s going to have to counter with hard facts. There should be a birth certificate.

I don't think she should respond at all. I do wonder if somebody like, say, Olberman would use this, even by oblique reference. I suppose if it got even that far, somebody should say something, but it shouldn't be expected of her that she should have to affirm that she actually bore her own son.

You know, it occurs to me that this whole thing is cynically conceived as payback for the allegations that the circumstances of Obama's birth are uncertain. It's the same theme, in a way.

What if it turns out to be the worst case?

She did it to protect her daughter from the smears? Is that a bad thing?

And did they decide to kill the baby?

Nope. Baby boy is ALIVE, and they are taking care of baby boy.

Is that a bad thing? Did they not make a CHOICE? Don't the pro-aborts love CHOICE?

Couldn't they have quietly and secretly had the baby boy "terminated"?

In that case, none of our children were born because we’ve never let hospitals publish anything about our babies.

I normally would agree to just ignore this crapola but I think I've changed my mind.

Why?

Well I frequent a basketball discussion forum and they have a 10 page thread going and there's many nutroots over there who actually believe this rumor.

So how to squash it?

Simple?

She simply releases her medical records.

Personally, I think she should come out in stern rebuke. The fact is a large number of Americans will not have heard that the left is doing this to her. If she comes out and scolds them on it, even more women will see how the left really feels about motherhood!

This is a vote getter. She should use it to its fullest.

What, you work in the Hospital?

Or are you relying on the bloggers over at DU?

By the way, is there any chance one of them was Barry Soetoro?

OPERATION CHAOS for the RATS is in full shootin’ mode. I bet James Carville and the Forehead are laughin’ their butts off over the smears of the Palin family. I’m sure they justify it by remembering all the smears of Chelsea and the endless rumors that she is Web Hubbell’s daughter. Minor children of candidates should be off limits, and unless adult children are putting themselves in the limelight, they should also be left alone.

Ignore it. In fact, it’s ridiculous that FR has had so many threads on this issue. It falls into the same category as UFOs and bigfoot. It’s worth a post now and then for a good laugh at how stupid (or in this case, evil) the opposition can be, but to treat it seriously only gives it attention it doesn’t merit.

I agree with BunnySlippers - something like this is easy to document. IF they wanted this disgusting thing to go away, they could squash this in any number of ways.

I’m hoping that they are letting it go because:

A - It’s beneath an answer
B - It’s good for our side
C - She’ll tell Obombat to show us his COLB first

The DUmmies are going wild about Palin, with the latest being that her daughter is pregnant and that she wasn’t vetted, proving McCain is reckless. She has hit them where they live, and they will tear her down or die trying.

I will try to find the link for the Mat-Su hospital. They shoe two babies born that day.

I think this whole thing is TOTALLY ABSURD on a lot of levels. I do not believe it.

My first reaction is that the campaign should post an obviously photoshopped Hawaiin “certification of live birth” for Trig Palin. I understand this is the most powerful evidence one can have.

But really, I think she should not dignify these rumors with comments.

Its a BS “STORY”

They are using pictures from 2006 of Sarah’s daughter who has a normal female figure with a bit of a pooch (unlike the anorexic Hollywood types). They are trying to say that she was preggers then. Trig was born in April. LONNNNNNNNNNGGGG GESTATION.

Another photo when Sarah was supposed to be 7 months pregnant, you can’t see Sarah’s belly, but you can see her daughter. Same small pooch of a normal female figure.

Between the Key jangling around McCain and picking on a teenage girl for political gain, they have sunk to new lows.

then you know what they’ll do? They’ll bring up another question. She’ll be bogged down responding to their accusations and give them legitimacy

Ignore them. let them be idiots and turn off everyone else. Some on the left are actually considering voting for McCain because they are so disgusted.

This is hardly operation chaos. You understand that our side is not fighting and in conflict over this issue?
It hasn’t caused any chaos on our side.
Some people are a little too worried about it, but this will all be nothing after Sarah speaks at the convention, and goes through the debates. Voters who do not hang out online day and night (Psst..thats mostly all voters) are not paying attention to this sort of shit.

Why does hse have to deal with it?
Why lower yourself into the slime pit that is the left in America?
Just go about your business and do your job. That is what the American people are looking for.

So do I. There is nothing for her to answer to these goons other than to say “These alligations are a despicable lie involving two minor children, one of them with Down’s syndrome, and I do not appreciate it. Attack me all you want. I can take it. But, leave my children alone!”

Now just think about what you wrote here for a second.
People posting ona basketball forum are posting commenst on a women haviong a baby or not having a baby..Then you write that many nutroots over there actually belive this stuff.
You are correct. They are nutbags. They belive silly crap.
So why do you think that releasing medical records will change their mionds? We actually have so-called human beings in this very Coutry that swear George Bush bombed the world trade center on 9/11..
The point is that some people are nuts for a reason and facts, truth, common snese, those things usally are not a part of their life....
