If we allow them to set the tone and keep us running defense, trying to counter every ridiculous cry from them, we lose the ability to spread all the positive about this lady.
Truth prevails and if we get wrapped in their silly games, we just give them a sounding board to spread their hate further.
As Bill Kristol wrote, Let Palin be Palin.
The nature of politics has gotten cut throat and people end up hurt, but with the parents Bristol has, she will come out fine.
Common sense says that if they were covering anything up, they would not have allowed the photo of them, showing Bristol with a teenaged poochy belly, to be published in the first place. But don't forget, the left has no common sense.
Point out the obvious to friends who bring it up and move on to her strong positive aspects. She'll handle rumors if she feels they need handled.
What photo?
Its always been cut throat.
In the good old days, spreading this type of nonsense could result in the perpetrator being challenged to a duel, or a good old fashioned caning.
