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.

I just heard the loser’s shock theory balloon get pricked. The foul air just went south. If this isn’t an example of stupid so stupid; I don’t know what is.

We have a bright and wonderful new face on the horizen with a wonderful family. What a blessing.

Their boy B-HO is going to lose in Mondalesque fashion.

I concur. With Sarah Palin on the ticket McCain wins with an electoral landslide. The American voters will fall in love with this grand lady. Also, I cannot wait to cast my vote for her in 2012 for POTUS.
Sarah Palin will do for the G.O.P., and our nation, what Ronald Reagan did.

I’ve been looking but I can’t find the thread it was on.

She was standing sideways talking to someone and wearing a dark maternity top....quite obviously preggers.

Possibly whomever posted it will catch this thread and oblige us all, again.

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

And yet the NYT and th LAT had the story on Edwards for almost a year and didn't publish it. Gee, I wonder why?

If you follow the link, it is in the 3rd paragraph down:

“Of course I had to check out the “Hottest Governor in the US” and quickly turned to see her pregnant (she has since had her baby) with bags and daughter in tote.”

I’ll be[t] this baby has a valid birth certificate; Palin can produce one...

The McCain camp should produce a multi-celled image with birth certificate thumbnails on the right of McCain and Palin, their spouses and kids. McCain's, himself, should be the largest thumbnail, top dead center on the right side of this image. And, on the left side, thumbnails of Obama, Biden, their spouses and kids. Again, Obama's featured prominently on top, dead, denter.

Any ORIGINAL Birth Certificates not made available should be left blank.

Well, I didn't find a picture of a blatantly preggers Governor (there's another one floating out there, anyways)....

....BUT....

...when I clicked on the "next page" link on that site, I uncovered a major scandal!

UNCOVERED: Picture reveals that Governor Sarah Palin has been creating an evil 'Children's Abu-Ghraib' Detention Center in Alaska!

Uh, no, that would be Joseph Biden.....who condemned an innocent man.

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?

*******************

That's my thinking as well. This is only a scandal in the eyes of the pro-abortion crowd.

Read it again. Look for the word “pregnant.”

They really are spooked by our next VP.

To the point of not being able to react to the situation without stuttering and fumbling politically.

Ummmm, she was already "elected" at the time - AND she had no idea McCain would pick her. I doubt this is true - but if it was, it would be an example of a mother doing "anything she could" to help her daughter.

The MSM will do the bidding of the dems and they'll go after her with both barrels. This type of rumor will become more common.

We are supposed to believe covering up a Teen pregnancy, if it were true, would preserve conservative credentials?

That is a far stretch by any imagination.

Cheney’s daughter is an openly gay and his conservative credentials remain intact.

Then again, if covering anything up, would they allow photo’s of the daughter from the time period to be published?

This allegation falls flat on its face when a little common sense is applied.

Just an act of desperation from the left.

proof that he (obama) is not for the violent overthrow of the USA.

Tin foil mega alert. You need 1/4 plate aluminum on your head. Polished side out.

I personally am so offended over this breach of privacy that I don’t even care if there’s a picture or not!
You know the moonbats will just claim she was wearing a fake bulge.

The silliness from the rats will not end anytime soon.

It should be ended promptly and decisively by the McCain campaign, before it saturates every voter's mind. That's what the Democrats are trying to do. The campaign should crush it now, without delay, and with all appropriate umbrage. It's insulting--infuriating--and far outside the bounds of decency. Every day it's ignored, it spreads further.
