Palin hits back at 'malicious' photo

Palin hits back at 'malicious' photo Posted: 10:22 AM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – A week after a high-profile uproar with comedian David Letterman over the late-night host's joke about her daughter, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is again sharply responding to the appearance of her children in the public sphere.

Palin's latest response comes after liberal Alaskan Blogger Linda Kellen Biegel doctored a photograph of the former Republican gPresidential candidate with her 1-year-old son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome.

Biegel, who blogs in support of the Alaska Democratic Party under the name "Celtic Diva," superimposed a picture of conservative Alaskan radio host Eddie Burke over Trig's face in an apparent effort to show how close the radio host is with the Alaskan governor.

"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."

Stapelton also suggested President Obama should speak out against such behavior from liberal activists.

"Babies and children are off limits," She said. "It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."

Asking for help from Obama is hopeless. To him, it is only desecration if it is down to Obama.

Does anyone have a picture of this dead beat liberal linda beigel? The blogger who trashed Trig in the photo with an overlay of a radio host that supports Sarah?

I would love to see her photo....doctored of course (this is the 13 yr old in me) with the face of an old female beagle laid over hers. After all...good for the goose, good for the gander...or in this case, bitch.

I know the left is despicable, mean, gross, intolerant, backstabbing and uncaring, but this is a surprise even to me. Apparently anything goes with the left as long as it HURTS a conservative person.

There are some in our society that are just scum and I censor myself using the word scum.
Two centuries ago these things were settled on “ The Field of Honor”. Maybe this was not such a bad thing.

She knows that - she’s drawing a line in the sand publicly, knowing there’s no good answer the Obama White House can (or will) give. I see it as good, clean political ground-standing.

They can’t help themselves, especially when it comes to SP.

So there will be an endless series of outrages to keep SP in the spotlight.

Yes, they are truly evil. I don’t say that lightly. It is because of their “father” that they are so violently opposed to SP.

Go to her blog. She is obviously single as I don’t see anything attractive in her. In my single days, she is what we used to call a three bagger. She needed three bags over her head in cast the first two broke. Also, they would be large shopping bags to boot.

Responding on her blog to the uproar, Biegel said in no uncertain terms the doctored picture was intended to make fun of Burke, not Trig Palin.

"It's called 'Baby Burke' because it's Eddie Burke…basically his probable second-biggest fantasy about the Governor," she wrote. "So, connecting the dots for you…WE'RE MAKING FUN OF EDDIE BURKE!!!!!!"

Sick woman.

But not pointless. She put him on the spot ... his likely failure to respond can be used against him.

Thanks, now if someone with the know how would be willing to overlay her mug with the face of a beagle dog (sorry to the dog in advance), we will have the bitch looking like she , should, we’ll send it to her and to everyone we know. That way, she will get to experience what it feels like to have yourself maligned and if we can FIND a picture cf her children, and if not, her PARENTS, we will do the same. Sometimes you HAVE to allow a cruel person to experience their own handiwork.

Oh, Saint Obama has no problem “speaking out” against those who would trash Sarah Palin. He actually did during the election, albeit in a passing, lip-service manner.

He can look like an angel because he knows FULL WELL the amoral, cowardly thugs in the ObmaMedia will continue to do the heavy-lifting and dirty work for him, while he floats above the fray.

She is going to get it back in spades. It is time to stop this creepy and dirty abuse of children by sick liberals who do not care about innocence or ethical action.

I hope someone who knows how to put a beagle dog face on this pathetic human will do so...captioned act like a bitch, look like a bitch.

And send it to her...I followed one link to her facebook page...there has to be a way to get the photo to her...and if there is a photo around of her parents...then malign them too....just like she did Trig.

She needs to understand what this feels like and other dirtbag liberals to know that one's FAMILY IS ALWAYS OFF LIMITS!

The media will not rest until it brings this lady down to their disgusting pessimistic view of reality. They loath anyone or any thing that represents light and virtue.

Sarah should be more like President G.W. Bush and say nothing to these obvious provocations. CNN is only reporting this to broaden the effect of the initial slight.
