They are the next-to-the-lowest link on the political food chain, only higher than petitions.

And just slightly lower than marches.

Weren’t they saying that the baby was really her daughter’s child? Here’s some other examples of the double standard:

Look at how we’re treated differently by the MSM:

The MSM protected Clinton’s daughter through college.

They protected that scoundrel John Edwards up until a tabloid ran a picture of him holding a baby.

They protected Clinton when he was accused of rape.

They protected Teddy Kennedy when he acted as a coward and left a woman to drown in a car.

They protected Jack Kennedy when he was hanging with mob women.

They protected Obama’s cocaine use... - but NOT Sarah’s husband’s third beer 20 years ago.

And a Republican seventeen year old?? No way... the MSM took on a 17 year old child who was pregnant - and they ran with it. And they were looking for more.

They’re disgusting.

Allow me to add another:

Find one story asking how Robert Kennedy could be an effective President in 1968 when he had NINE (9) children.

Do you know where I can order one of those polo shirts with the color McCain/Palin photo on the front?

Most of the threads on the left are about her too.
She has dominated the news cycle for 10 days. Don't be surprised if McCain is up by 5-10 points in the coming days.

That's what the left wants it to look like, a soap opera. They want to “saturate” us with these type of “trashy” stories, to make the Palins look like a bunch of back water rubes. They're terrified of this girl, and they'll keep this up right to the election..and beyond if McCain wins. I haven't seen the press this bad to anybody since Clarence Thomas. Almost makes it seem like they were nice to Bush.

I hope its higher than that, I hate all the lies about Palin, but I love all the non-stop coverage on her rather than on BHO.

I thought Barry said that the families and children were off limits.

It seems that Pinch didn't get the message.

If this is another hit piece against the Palin family, then I don't think the RNC or McCain supporting 527s are under any obligation to play fair or to play nice.

And if they don’t cancel, then they are true freepers, either get a right alternative or a free alternative.

This is war, Obama declared it on us by his statement of “small town people clinging to their guns and religion”

He is their leader, how can you continue to support them when you see your fellow conservatives under this relentless attack in small town america.

I don’t live in a small town anymore, but I am not going to substitute the attacks on my kin and like.

“Don’t play their game. Walk to your local machine (free exercise) and put some coins in - you have your paper but they don’t have you on their subscriber lists.”

You are still adding to their circulation numbers, and THAT is what determines their advertising rates.

Just do without them. I dumped my local lefty rag subscription back when they were pushing Clinton’s first run for the White House. I don’t buy them and I don’t miss them.

If some of you just have to read the paper- go to the library. The library is going to buy it until the last day they quit printing anyway and you won’t be adding to circulation numbers.
