WaPo’s Sally Quinn: Sarah Palin ‘Exploited’ Her Children
Newsbusters.org ^ | 7-9-09 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 07/09/2009 4:07:01 PM PDT by Justaham

Appearing on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, Washington Post writer and founder of the paper’s On Faith blog, Sally Quinn, exclaimed of Sarah Palin: "Well, clearly, she has not put her family first...And these children have, it seems publicly, to have been exploited by her in a, I think, really unfortunate way."

Even anchor David Shuster, who on Wednesday declared that Palin had "no future" politically, questioned Quinn’s accusation: "Sally, the use of the word ‘exploited’ is pretty strong. Give us some specific examples that you think qualifies for that?" Quinn was happy to elaborate: "Well, you know, she brings them all to the convention, including Trig, the baby. She brings the pregnant daughter with the boyfriend who clearly didn't want to be there. She then travels around with the children, using them as sort of photo ops...she brings the children up when she needs them to shore up her own image."

Let me guess, Obama hides his kids in a closet right Sally..What a disgusting pile of feces this supposed woman is, and I say woman lightly, I am still waiting on the DNA evidence to prove her gender

I would say parading around in the streets of Rome with a PEACE NIK t shirt is exploiting one's child. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

And if the kids hadn’t been at the convention, Sally Quinn would be saying “This is really bizarre behavior, not to have the family there on stage like every other candidate in recent memory. Is she trying to hide something? Is she ashamed of her Downs syndrome baby?”

This is the best “slept her way to the top” Sally can muster? That a candidate with a family exploits them when they are in photos? What about the Edwards clan? Clintons? What about the Bidens? Not to mention the obamas and what they exploit. Any recent candidate in history leave his family home when accepting the VP nomination?

What did Sally exploit to get Ben?

Sally Quinn is a woman who gave birth to a baby with profound facial deformities and has yet to accept that boy......IMHO.

She hates that Sarah so lovingly and proudly presents Trigg to the world.

So her son writes in his book that kids can be cruel.

Wonder what he thinks of his mother’s disgust at the sight of Trigg Palin.

Miss Sally is an evil evil woman with no redeeming qualities.

I wonder if there is any example of her being truly TOLERANT under this very good definition I found at
http://www.str.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5359

“Tolerance, then, involves three elements: (1) permitting or allowing (2) a conduct or point of view one disagrees with (3) while respecting the person in the process.

“Notice that we can’t tolerate someone UNLESS we disagree with him. This is critical. We don’t “tolerate” people who share our views. They’re on our side. There’s nothing to put up with. Tolerance is reserved for those we think are wrong.

“This essential element of tolerance—disagreement—has been completely lost in the modern distortion of the concept. Nowadays, if you think someone is wrong, you’re called intolerant.

“This presents a curious problem. One must first think another is wrong in order to exercise tolerance toward him, yet doing so brings the accusation of intolerance. It’s a “Catch-22.” According to this approach, true tolerance is impossible.”

I just thought this would be an interesting point to start putting to the self-acclaimed tolerance police of the world

The level of fear and panic Sarah Palin brings forth from the left is astounding.

So the Washington Pravda’s “On Faith” blogger is this adulteress who slept with her (married) boss to get to where she is?

How many religious faiths think THAT is OK?

What a doodle head. What does she expect? Their mother goes to the contiguous
States for an historic event(s) and the kids are supposed to stay home and wait for their t-shirts that say”My Mom and Dad went to the Lower 48 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”?

Parker, Dowd, Marcus, Estrich, Goodman and now Quinn and all the rest, all publishing scathing articles in a few days about Palin.

Are these people scared? Very very scared?? You betcha.

Palin has beeen accused by these feminists and others in the last 2 weeks of child exploitation, narcissist personality disorder, postparnum depression, midlife crisis, delusions of grandeur, “nutty”.

Funny, palin seems normal to me, and successful and attractive. And this lot seem like a bunch of mad ranters.

Perhaps they are projecting their own problems on to Palin?
