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.
This next quote sums up the feelings of how many perceive Palin's handling...

I worry about Briston. 17 years old is very young to be targeted by such viciousness.
Sarah and Bristol are living examples of what the pro-abortion crowd think. They believe that all “imperfect” babies should be aborted and that no teen should be “punished with a baby”, that abortion is the perfect solution to any problem a woman has.
Well, I hear her mother's been known to shoot and gut Elk and Moose. And I saw a picture of her sitting on a Grizzly pelt draped over a couch (can't say if it was her doing).
I suspect Bristol's family will do whatever it takes to defend one of their own. And I also think, while not relishing such attention, Bristol is made of pretty tough stock herself.
bttt
No way in hell would I wish to be in their shoes once she gets them by their rotten throats!
Her speech to the delegates will say it all. If she can come out fiercely for her family, she will energize women all over this country, even the ones who disagree with her politically.
Obama might also want to be careful because his core voting block is comprised of many, many, single women raising many, many children out of wedlock.
Oh yeah? This is straight from Time.

On Feb. 2, 1961, several months after they met, Obama's parents got married in Maui, according to divorce records. It was a Thursday. At that point, Ann was three months pregnant with Barack Obama II.
Hardly. Obama tells this story himself, and did so in his statement ordering the nutcases to lay off Palin's daughter.
I’ve seen a 1961 pic of her and him together.....she is quite obviously a teeny bopper, and he (obama sr) looks about 40.....
You could go read their own words in their forum.
As a whole, it certainly seems that they’re all pretty p*ssed off about it.
I’d bet the south 40 that Hillary will vote for Sarah when the curtain is pulled.
“Are there more sources to back this up? This is dynomite if true.”
It’s true. Ann Dunham was pregnant (with Obambi) and did not marry the father (who, incidentally, was still married to a woman back in Africa) until February, 1961. Obambi was born six months later in August, 1961. Obambi was conceived out-of-wedlock by a teenage mother.

America and especially American women do not like lynchings of 17 yr old pregnent girls. The Establishment press is gong to pay with their jobs.

“McCain is NEVER going to dump Sarah Palin! He is not a coward and neither is she!”
Truth!
Palin needs to come out swinging. I wish that she would challenge the media to grow some balls and discuss real issues that our country is facing and quit picking on her pregnant minor daughter.
What I think she needs to do is be like Reagan and speak directly to Americans. She needs to get women voters to identify with her. If she can rise above the media and connect with the public, then I think it will be a landslide.
How can she not reach the women in America. This is the story of all of us and all of our worries. All these crepes have done is made this twice the viewership it was going to be. Americans don’t like lynching 17 yr old girls by bullies.
