That Sarah Palin rumor
Knoxville News Sentinel, TN ^ | 8.31.08 | Katie Allison Granju

Posted on 08/31/2008 10:53:07 AM PDT by rface

Bloggers

here

and here ] are all over the theory that Sarah Palin's four-month-old baby may actually be her grandchild - the son of her 16-year-old daughter, who missed most of the last school year with what the family said was mononucleosis.

[ snip ]

My first thought is that this sort of scrutiny has to be really hard on the 16-year-old girl in question. And my second thought was that IF this turns out to be true, I'll find it a really scary example - perhaps the most scary example of anything I've seen in a long time - of a politician who would do anything to get elected.

[ snip ]

And if this IS true, Sarah Palin has opened her daughter up to a rough ride by exposing her family to the national press. The mainstream media only recently found itself badly burned when tabloids and bloggers completely scooped them on a salacious rumor (John Edwards' affair) that turned out to be 100% true. You can bet the press won't let this happen again, and I guarantee you that there are reporters in Alaska right this minute, poring over school, birth, and travel records, as well as looking at every photo of this family that they can get their hands on.

WT...? This kind of thing would have been extremely difficult to hide. Pure BS, IMO.

McCain and Palin are going to be in St Louis this afternoon.... (O'Fallon, MO)

They're supposed to be there at ~4:00.

I am headed out the door right now from Ashland.

The MSM won't get scooped again, but to them it's perfectly acceptable to run with a DU/Kos-initiated rumor that will drag down a 17-year old girl and a 4-month old baby with Down's Syndrome.

It's official--there is no depth to which the MSM will not plumb to pump up the Democrats. Imagine had this been the Clintons or Obamas and this started coming out. The hue and cry from the Sunday talk shows would have been deafening.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Despite my feelings toward McWhatshisname, Sarah Palin appears to be a good strong woman and can take on all comers.

I'm no expert, but how many 16 year old girls have a Downs Syndrome child compared to a 44 year old female. Also, how difficult would it be to fake a 9 month pregnancy while you're the governor of a state? I'm sure some of this is defensive on my part because I am so taken by Palin, but some of it is just plain common sense.

There was a movie called “The Candidate” or something where Jeff Bridges is the Democratic President and Joan Allen is trying to get appointed as the first female VP. Of course, the Republicans are viewed as a smear machine against women.

Now that Palin is the REPUBLICAN VP candidate, the Democrats are pulling a smear campaign that make the movie look like a bad joke.

But let’s suppose that the rumor is true. So what? The daughter made a mistake and the parents supported the child? THAT is the horrible news?

Its the abortion lobby. They want you to believe that had they aborted the child, there would be no problem.

Murderers!

I suggest we start praying for her family, especially her children. And we should blame OBAMA every time his followers attack Palin’s daughter.

Let’s see... I’ll be this baby has a valid birth certificate; Palin can produce one, and put this to rest. That’s a better track record than Obama...

Uh, they new about Edwards the whole time and chose not to investigate it or report it.

Too busy to go look into Obamas past but will go to the ends of the earth to try to dig up some nonexistant dirt on Sarah Palin. Yep thats our “unbiased” news media.

Only someone living squarely in the center of the liberal plantation could write this bravo sierra. The MSM has been in the tank fro years and to pretend the truth wasn’t evident until they got scooped by the tabloids on Edwards is hilarious. No doubt they’d love to bring down Palin, but they’d have much better success going snipe hunting.

and I can guarantee you that the scoop WILL happen again if the subject is a Democrat. The media will CERTAINLY protect their own.
