WASHINGTON, July 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Liberals on the Internet took a quick trip to the gutter with regard to the nomination of Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. to the U.S. Supreme Court. On the left-wing Daily Kos Web site, a participant suggested the behavior of the nominee's four-year-old son, Jack, warrants investigation while another speculated about the toddler's sexuality.
"Is nothing sacred anymore? Is no one exempt from insulting partisan attacks?" asked Project 21 member Michael King. "If someone mentions the relatives or personal lives of a liberal, there are wails and caterwauling from the left. But it seems that it's always open season on conservatives."
At the White House nomination announcement held late on Tuesday night, young Jack Roberts was visibly restless in his seersucker suit, and was shown on television fidgeting during the event. On the Daily Kos Web site, contributor "Mayan" later posted the comment: "When Roberts thanked his family, he mentioned his son, Jack ... Roberts' (sic) wife's face fell. It was like a poker tell. I think we should research Jack." This was followed up a few minutes later by "Geotpf," who posted, "Of course, this is how ridiculous rumors get started, but extreme conservatives seem to have a lot of homosexual children ... "
This sort of talk was strongly derided by liberals after it was discovered that then-President Bill Clinton had an extramarital affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Former first lady Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), while promoting her memoir in 2003, said of this type of speculation: "I think that these were obviously personal and private moments that unfortunately were made public for partisan, political purposes -- a part of the ongoing politics of personal destruction."
"The consternation I feel at this personal, attack-dog politics is echoed by people across the nation," added Project 21's King. "Judge Roberts's son is four years old. It is not unusual for kids that age to dance and prance and otherwise frustrate their parents."

As I said on another thread. Liberals don't know how kids act because they rarely have any.

I didn't know the Kos was an advocate of kiddie porn? Gee. You'd think pedophiles would be more circumspect on sites read by others.
need to keep this bumped so people know how liberals really are.
You are right, so many lib kids have their brains sucked out at birth...
Is this a joke of some sort?
Sad and pathetic are the only words I can think of at this point.
As Mrs. Cheney would say, these are not decent people.
The kid was probably just trying to stay awake! It was 9+ at night in Washington, D.C., for goodness sakes. Probably at least an hour past his bedtime...not to mention having to "dress up" for the cameras. IMO, little Jack did pretty well under the circumstances.
I think this has got to be a joke. Not even the left is this sick.
Afraid not. And they are.
And the ones they do have are on Ritalin.
It's online from Yahoo and also at US Newswire. I haven't checked KOS but, then, I don't want to have to throw up.
Amazing. The kid is only four. And they're already labeling him.
freeper mhking?
I wish. However, seeing something like this come from the Left isn't really all that surprising.
