Palin hits back at 'malicious' photo Posted: 10:22 AM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – A week after a high-profile uproar with comedian David Letterman over the late-night host's joke about her daughter, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is again sharply responding to the appearance of her children in the public sphere.

Palin's latest response comes after liberal Alaskan Blogger Linda Kellen Biegel doctored a photograph of the former Republican gPresidential candidate with her 1-year-old son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome.

Biegel, who blogs in support of the Alaska Democratic Party under the name "Celtic Diva," superimposed a picture of conservative Alaskan radio host Eddie Burke over Trig's face in an apparent effort to show how close the radio host is with the Alaskan governor.

"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."

Stapelton also suggested President Obama should speak out against such behavior from liberal activists.

"Babies and children are off limits," She said. "It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."

She's just one more proof of #24 of Rush Limbaugh's Original 35 Undeniable Truths of Life:

"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society."

Yeah, that’s some high class there - let’s now make fun of a Down Syndrome baby.

If there is anything the abortion party fears more than Sarah Palin it's Sarah Palin holding Trig. They all have posters up in their offices of baby seals asking people to stop the senseless killing. They know they can't reconcile that with the picture of Trig having his hair smoothed down by the wet fingers of his loving sister on national television.

That baby should be dead in their books. He terrifies them.

It’s working.

No its not.

Palin and Romney are the current front runners. But Mitt will be bagged, field dressed and stuffed by Sarah in 2011.

Ahhh yes, I remember those undeniable truths. :)

I hope Alaskans will demand Begich and the state Democrats respond to this. Are they in cahoots with Biegle? I think so.

Its not the Democrat attacks on Palin that should concern her supporters, one can expect that. Its the vicious attacks from McCain and Rommney Republicans that are only going to get worse as 2012 approaches.

It’s like these people are deliberately trying to tear down Palin so she will become more popular among Republicans. With every vicious slur and attack it will probably help boost her fundraising, if she want to go for it in ‘12.

No, Bush's lack of willpower to fight the media allowed the Dems and the MSM to frame the picture of how things were going.

From the text.

..... liberal Alaskan blogger Linda Kellen Biegel doctored a photograph.....

What we have here is something that is common to many of the so- called "liberals". Especially those in media and politics. For what brings on the usual outcry about some "injustice". It is very often some facet of authority that may have slipped up somewhere. Then the liberal is in full cry. It reads like a litany.

"The poor, the sick, the elderly, the little children, the disabled, the vulnerable and so on".

It is used as a battering ram for their outrage which is often a put on. They can ingratiate themselves with their readers,viewers or their political constituency. The problem is that the concern of liberals is shown as an absolute lie. So old liberal blogger Linda shows what she really is.

Liberal thinker myself once and I came up close to the do- good socialist liberal when unemployed. This many years ago. I was given an idea then, it is virtually all a sham. The bigger liberal they are, the more likely is that they live better than the "fat cat" conservative. The conservative seldom sneers at the unfortunate- not that I have noticed anyway.

"It's called 'Baby Burke' because it's Eddie Burke…basically his probable second-biggest fantasy about the Governor," she wrote. "

Perhaps a photoshopped image of the celtic deva's face on a bikini clad model would illustrate her own fantasy.

I’ve always thought leftists were full of self-hate and loathing. Thanks for posting the picture which helps explain.

They are listening to their father. This picture is from his Father’s Day address in 2008. I don’t think they were even at Wright’s church.

You got that exactly right.
