The skit was not offensive to Palin.
How do YOU know that it wasn’t offensive to Todd Palin? Are you saying that if you were a father with a daughter you would accept the comments made by SNL because they attacked the NYTimes? You wouldn’t be offended or embarrassed by that imagery, despite it being untrue?
It shows the evil lengths the media will go to smear the Palins. It is indeed vile, but it is identical to threads I read on DailyKos over Labor Day. I posted on this forum a DailyKos thread alleging that Trig was a result of a rape of Bristol by Todd Palin. Had these things been said about the Obamas on FreeRepublic, there would have been 2-hour town hall "discussions" on Nightline and 20/20 about it, and elaborate charts connecting the poster with the McCain campaign in the Times.
