The Blowback on the MSM over Attacks on Bristol Palin
Political pundits have declared a vicious war against John McCain's VP pick, Sarah Palin, by attacking her 17-yr-old daughter, Bristol. Anger by women voters, in particular former Hillary Clinton supporters, continues to grow against the perceived "tawdriness" against the Palin family, with the Obama campaign, the MSM, and the Left Blogosphere being seen as "co-conspirators".
"One hopes that all those pundits are happy now. They have thoroughly embarrassed a 17 year old kid. What happened to those angry threats by Obama warning everyone to Lay Off My Family?
Apparently, these slimeballs will not be happy until they destroy every female past child-bearing age. Perhaps one of John McCain's daughters has a library book overdue, and they can tturn their attention to her." --Hillary Clinton Forum
The Internet rumors about Palin, in particular those which claimed Sarah Palin's fifth pregnancy was a hoax, were spread by various left-wing blogs such as Daily Kos and Huffington Post.
Huffington Post has taken center stage in attacking Palin with a full page yellow dog journalism spread. While this type of smear tactics may appeal to certain readers, the vast majority of the country has found the attacks, vicious and "gone too far".
Not only does the backlash center on the pundits but the main recipient of voter's disgust may come on November 4th in the voting booth against Barack Obama, whom many see as hypocritical as his own mother was a teen and pregnant when she married Obama's father on February 2, 1961. Obama was born seven months later on August 4 when his mother was 18.

Just keep bashing women, especially pregnant women, and a woman raising a handicapped child, it will really get the female vote.
Palin will need to rise above it and show that she can take a punch and keep on keeping on.
Obammie and his band of Chicago ‘RATS are going to regret the day they decided to let Kos (rhymes with Soros) run their smear campaign.
And I don't think she's going to disappoint tomorrow night.
I've seen several articles today, including one from U.S. News & World Report, asking if Palin is going to be jettisoned. I think those articles will start dissipating after this week's convention. :-)
I don’t believe this. Hard core pro-abortionists all want Sarah Palin destroyed, no matter what the collateral damage.
It’s too late for McCain to dump Palin. If he does that, he might as well go home too. Governor Palin has the base fired up. McCain needs to suck it up like he did in Nam and we’re going to pull this one out. Remember, we did not lose in Vietnam, we left. McCain is not a loser.
And I should believe this... why?
Sooner or later it'll come back on Chelsea... just wait.
You got that right. Obama and his boy Kos (rhymes with Soros) are letting their mouths write checks their @$$ can't cash.
These attacks are deeply sexist.
I sent Governor Palin an email of support. I never know what to say in those things, but I had to say something. She doesn’t deserve this. Bristol doesn’t deserve this, but I am gratified to see women helping women in this. Many of us have had unplanned pregnacies half of us decided murder wasn’t the way to handle it. I want to see Saracuda rip MSM a new one, then bury Obamanation in a landslide.
Wow, as angry as I am, I can’t imagine how the Hilary supporters feel.
Does their party even realize half of them are female?
I wish I were reading things this positive from liberals. It is beginning to seem like they hate motherhood, many of them are dried up bitter women who hate anybody not like them. Most of those seem to have very sterile lives, their biggest enjoyment appears griping and tearing somebody or something else down. That includes their emasculated menfolk and men of their ilk, too, if they bother to keep one around.
the Obama campaign has distanced itself from the Palin story, stating families are off-limits
Yeah, right. Sounds noble, but he's got surrogates out there by the thousands doing the dirty work for him.
Sarah Palin is the first political candidate in my whole lifetime I can even remotely relate to on a human level albeit from a distance. Maybe it is the woman thing and our shared values even if we both may be perceived to have fallen short.
They wouldn't like her no matter what she does or doesn't do. They are jealous of her and accusing her of selfishness. Maybe they had better take a good, long look in the mirror.
Are there more sources to back this up? This is dynomite if true.
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
I was shocked to see a picture of Gov. Palin's daughter all by herself on the FRONT PAGE of my local paper. It was about her pregnancy...
