Sarah Palin Makes a Rolling Blunder at Motorcycle Rally (Scandal? Piper was on a motorcycle!!)
The Stir ^ | May 30, 2011 | Suzanne Murray

Posted on 05/30/2011 2:18:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Yesterday, thousands of bikers descended upon Washington, D.C., for the annual Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Rally. The rally is an annual demonstration that was started in 1987 to bring attention to the plight of prisoners of war and to those service people missing in action. Among the riders? Sarah Palin. Decked out in a black jacket, big shades, and a Harley-Davidson helmet the Mama Grizzly transformed herself into a Motorcyle Mama for the day to join them in the cause.

Palin was joined at the rally by her husband Todd (forever riding the metaphorical sidecar) and her two daughters, Bristol and Piper. She rode on the back of one motorcyle, Bristol rode on the back of another, and Todd drove his own bike with Piper on the back.

That's right. Sarah Palin let her 10-year-old daughter Piper Palin on a motorcycle.

Are you kidding me?

Motorcycles can be fun and exhilarating to ride -- I've done it. But they can also be dangerous and are known for their ability to kill and maim, even the most skilled riders. A motorcycle is no place for a 10-year-old. It makes no difference that Piper was wearing a helmet, that the bike may have been "going slow," and that she wasn't the one driving it. She's way too young to be introduced to such a dangerous activity.

Once again Sarah Palin put her own PR in front of her her children's needs and safety. But that's not so surprising. After all, don't mama grizzlies eat their young?

Do you think kids should go on motorcyles?

*******

In a former life, Suzanne Murray was a lawyer, a journalist, and a green lifestyle guru. She's launched several web sites, and has worked at the Washington Post Company, the New York Observer, and myriad women's magazines. In her current life, she's raising 8 chickens and one adventurous three-year-old.

I've got bad news for Ms. Murray: A lot of my friends had mini-bikes and motorcycles when I was Piper's age and I had a Yamaha 125 street bike that I rode off-road. Millions of kids have ridden on the backs of motorcycles. Heck, we rode in the back of pickup trucks when I was younger. No seat belts, no anything.

The writer has problems with a kid on a motorcycle?! Dufus. We were riding around on go-carts and all sorts of things as kids—like tractors. Driving them. Ourselves. Without a helmet. At 11 and 12.

The woman is a moron.

That lady lives a sheltered city life. My 11 year old son has been riding 4 wheelers since 6 years old and has had a 100cc Honda dirt bike for 2 years. I feel sorry for people who have absolutely no perspective other than their own little world and their pathetic little experience.

Three strikes and you’re out.

This no-nothing witch has a propagandizing axe to grind.

Dismissed.

Is this how low they HAVE to stoop to criticize SP?
Or, is it how low they WILL stoop to criticize SP?
Either way it makes the MSM look small.

What if this "dangerous activity" was abortion and a parent was trying to ensure that her daughter does not have one?

Would we get the same sort of warning, or would the parent be chastised for daring to infringe on the independence of her daughter.

look at the comments at the link. She’s not getting the reaction she planned on, I’ll wager. Even the self-described Palin-haters think the author jumped the shark!

This woman is a friggin idiot.

My son started riding when he was 7, he is now 46 and his daughter 10, loves to ride behind him, when she isn’t riding her own bike, a Honda 50.

A mistake to go on a family outing with your sisters and your dad? Crazy. Her Mom was up behind her other daughter Willow.

Do not let the fears of people who afraid of their own shadow frighten you. Do what you think is right.

When I die I will never have said I wish I had tried that. I tried it all-—except Bungy jumping, I never had much of a desire for that LOL.

You gotta love these idiot moonbats bitch about Palin. If she simply walked across the street, the MSM will make a story that her carbon footprints caused the earth’s axis to tilt 25 degrees.

From the author’s bio: “In her current life, she’s raising 8 chickens and one adventurous three-year-old.”

I’m betting that her chickens are having a more adventurous life than her 3-year old kid!

In her current life, she's raising 8 chickens and one adventurous three-year-old.

Presumably without a father for either the chickens or the 3-year-old. Her child is in more danger of getting e.coli from being around chickens than Piper Palin is on a motorcycle.

Anyone who imagines the Democrats aren't terrified that Sarah will send Zero back to Africa with what's left of his giblets isn't paying attention.
