Can someone explain how some conservatives have sunk so low as to make their argument “They (libs) do it, so it’s okay for us to do it”.
Say wha?
Do I have to get my kids to explain that two wrongs don’t make a right?
I don’t know what side you stand for but I stand for the side that doesn’t make fun of innocents. I’m glad Sarah stands on that side with me. Children are innocents, especially those who aren’t yet at the age of accountability. Mentally handicapped kids (and adults) are the most innocent of the innocents.
This isn’t about Sarah and Trig, or her family’s response, this is about right and wrong. I am truly fascinated with the efforts of some to make it not wrong.
Finally, this has nothing to do with being thin skinned - Sarah has had more daggers thrown at her way than any politician I’ve ever sseen, and let it roll off.
What this is about, is her being willing to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves (whether it’s her kid or not). It’s the right thing to do and it’s Biblical.
One thing to add to my previous post...
Saying that Palin was “asking for it” because her kids were in the public eye is still no justification for wrongdoing. It’s the same tactics some unscrupulous people to try and discredit victims of crime or rape.
It’s situational ethics, and I don’t play that game. This is a clear case of right and wrong.
