The Internet phenomenon that is Trig’s Crew (Twitter tag #TrigsCrew) might represent the most potent example of the power of online activism we’ve seen yet. In a matter of hours, citizen activists rallied around the righteous cause of condemning a vile Wonkette attack against Governor Sarah Palin’s three-year-old son, Trig with astonishing results.
Best of all, and contrary to Andrew Sullivan feeling all “queasy,” this was not a “Palinista” uprising. (Heads up: When it comes to Trig Palin, Sullivan is nothing more than Wonkette with professorial elbow patches.) Decent people of all political stripes, including some in the media, put partisan politics aside over this — and it was a beautiful thing to behold. Better still, organized under their hash tag, a group of citizen activists discovered the small “d” democratic wonder of Twitter and effectively learned how to politely, firmly, and publicly fight for something they believed in.
Personally, I’m not a boycott person, but that’s my right. Others have a right to boycott, and brother, did Trig’s Crew put on a boycott. All on their own, they organized a list of Wonkette advertisers, tweeted them directly with a request that they pull their ads, and kept track of those who did and didn’t. Within hours, it was obvious a tidal wave was brewing and by the next day it was just as obvious that it had hit. As of this writing, over 30 advertisers agreed with Trig’s Crew and pulled their ads from Wonkette. Seemingly, and in record time, the dismantling of a fairly mainstream, left-wing snark-site seemed probable.
Like the Tea Party, Trig’s Crew has represented the very best of mainstream America as they engaged in an inspiring First Amendment online debate with dignity and decency....

The bottom line is that these are Obama’s supporters. He tacitly supports this kind of crap by NEVER opposing it without qualification.
The most you get from him is that he lets it run for days and days,, then mentions how both sides need to be nice.
Obama approves becuase this is all done on his behalf and he never disavows it.
Great news.
HAHA...they got a spanking and are running with their tales between their legs, for now. My guess is, this will be like obama’s speech in AZ about being civil. Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do.
If people that like celebrity cruises also like the digusting writing at wonkette, I’m not interested in ever taking a celebrity cruise. Think I’ll fire off a missive to ms customer relations and inform her that advertising on such a site absolutely financially supports that filth. If her response represents this cruise line (owned by Royal Caribbean) then shame on them for putting money over what is right.
We all have a God given purpose for living on this earth, IMHO. Perhaps Trig’s ministry is to help keep people from turning into animals.
The sick death party loves to predate on perceived “inadequacies” in other people’s disabilities.
A forger takes time to forge a blade, and no matter the blade or being, it can be grown to be sharp. It has been proven. But liberals choose death, despair and a feeling of superiority over the children perceived as inadequate, trying to make them feel guilty for being alive.
These people are the scum drums of the earth’s nuclear waste with a strange half life.
I’d rather spend a lifetime helping an imperfectly born being than supporting a perfectly well born liberal loser in a position of power and wild expensive overbudget lifestyle because these Nazis just think they deserve it.
It's far too late for that. But Trig's existence is having the effect of flipping on a light switch in a room filled with roaches that are running for cover.
America NEEDS to look at those roaches in the light, and see them for what they really are.
After the Wonkette disaster, Trig is officially one of the most influential Americans and will propel his mother to PTUS
