Sarah Palin under fire for posting photo of her son standing on the family dog in New Year's message

Sarah Palin has sparked outrage by posting pictures on Facebook of her son standing on her dog.

[Altariel]

Where did I make the claim that the dog is not a service dog? Please respond to what I actually wrote.

[Tallguy]

Anybody have the pic of LBJ suspending his beagle by its ears?

[Altariel]

“you are the one saying that she is praising and encouraging him. I want you to prove it.”

Where did I make that claim?

[defconw]

I know what you mean she beats me up. I had to get a special collar for her. Now it not so bad. Plus she forced me to get stronger. LOL

You seem to play the concern troll pretty well, for someone pretending to not know what it is.

That was a tremendous reply! The likes of which I rarely see on FR anymore.

Your creds are impeccable and you are to be applauded and I do!

Operating from inside the belly of da Beast, you are more serious in your approach to posts on FR than I, and you must be to survive where you are.

I myself was vomited out of it more than a decade ago and have run as far from it as I can since then. (Totally lost my lifelong love affair with it even though I greatly liked what I used to do.)

My silly post has been rebutted and I’ve received a lot more besides. Thank you.

We have a cat who likes that...little cobby blue eyed thing, looks like a living stuffed animal and ADORES roughhousing and “squish da floof”. If you don’t comply she’ll roll over and beg til you do!

These dogs are so very strong! I’ll never get another one because I’m a small person. But not as small as poor little Trig!

[Yardstick]

You are nuttier than squirrel poop.

[trisham]

I couldn’t agree more, Altariel. Very well said.

[Resettozero]

Do you typically assume obvious solutions to a problem as being “liberal” rather than “conservative”?

On FR, there are more closet libs than let on. Thought you sounded like you may be one. Still do.

Problem: A special needs child wants to help his mother wash dishes. He attempts to communicate this desire to his mother, but she does not respond as the child wishes.

Not a problem of the magnitude you make it.

Dilemma: Child, apparently not understanding that living beings are not to be used as stepping stools, steps on a dog’s back, risking injury to the child should the dog move, tired of being used as a surrogate stepping stool. (Has it occurred to you that had this happened, her family could be the subject of investigation by various government agencies?)

Never was a dilemma. Injury never occurred to anyone. All in people's fearful imaginations. Palin is constantly watched by "various government agencies". (You sound still like a left-leaning one.)

Solution: Pick up a (or relocate an existing) stepping stool to be used at the sink. Most families have at least one in the house; some have one for each sink.

Not YOUR Down Syndrome child, dog, sink, kitchen, worry. It's the Palins' concern and nothing like you fear happened.

Talk with child about how to appropriately act around dogs to avoid being bitten and/or suffer another injury.

...To a child YOU are responsible for worrying about.

Amazing, a solution that doesn’t require drama or government intervention. Still having difficulty fathoming what makes that “liberal” in the modern sense of the word.

Lots of pretend conservatives on FR are closet libs and know it. Some don't. Don't know you Altariel. But I've lived long enought to recognize the pattern and wording of some of your sentences. You see, I too have been educated.

A troll would jump onto a thread about Trig standing on a dog, and would make 4 posts that have nothing to do with the photos or dogs, or directly with the Palins, and would direct them all at me, in evidently some sort of stalking like grudge carrying from one thread to another.

[dforest]

Your’so vain, you probably think this thread is about you, don’t you, don’t you? LOL

Other dogs run their packs differently from the way that I run mine. I dont much care for what anyone has to say about how I run mine. I am sure the vise-versa is true.

Obvious pack behavior going on in all pictures referenced. The black dog is being submissive to the human dog child and is not in distress or he would get up and move.

ON TO 500 !!!

[proud American in Canada]

Thanks for the ping, Joe.

I’m jumping in here a bit late, but my first thought is, the dog looks happy, Trig (I think that’s his name) is small; if the dog didn’t like it, he wouldn’t let the boy stand on his back. Or her back. :)

I’ve rubbed my dog with my foot a lot; she loves it. However, if I stood on her, well, I couldn’t. Not at all. She would never let me do it if I even tried. Something tells me the dog and Trig have a special relationship and the dog accepts things from the boy that it wouldn’t accept from anyone else.

[Resettozero]

Apparently! Now it’s gotten so bad, I had to ask the moderators to remove a disgusting remark about a fellow freeper.

Thanks for nothing.

It is up to the offended FReeper, not you, to complain.

“if the dog did not like the child standing on him. The child would be on the floor and the dog would be standing on the child.”

LOL! Exactly.

[ansel12]

Strange post you just made, pretty childish, you should note that post 472 is totally accurate.

[Altariel]

You have not established how the problem (that is, the child’s objective) the dilemma (the situation that occurred and its risks) or the obvious solution (how a responsible parent prevents a situation from reoccurring in the future) are “liberal”. However, you have used that moniker on several occasions now.

Please explain how any of the above are “liberal” and not “conservative”.

It seems your concern over discussing another person’s child stems from the child being a member of a family of the political class. Or are you on record on FR as being against discussing another individual’s child for any reason, regardless of family background or prestige?

“Note the terror and pain in the dogs eyes.

Or is that boredom...”

Is Sarah a Freeper? If not, she must join up. :) At least I hope she sees and reads this thread.

She certainly knows how to get people riled up. :)
