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."

“Does anyone have a picture of this dead beat liberal linda beigel?”

I’ve seen it. Believe me, there isn’t much you could photoshop over her face that would make it look any worse than it already is.

Go to her blog. She is obviously single as I don’t see anything attractive in her. In my single days, she is what we used to call a three bagger. She needed three bags over her head in cast the first two broke. Also, they would be large shopping bags to boot.

Responding on her blog to the uproar, Biegel said in no uncertain terms the doctored picture was intended to make fun of Burke, not Trig Palin.

"It's called 'Baby Burke' because it's Eddie Burke…basically his probable second-biggest fantasy about the Governor," she wrote. "So, connecting the dots for you…WE'RE MAKING FUN OF EDDIE BURKE!!!!!!"

Sick woman.

Is this person living in an alternate reality?

THIS is the supposed "desecration"??

You don’t want to see her photo. She is a hugely fat ugly woman. There are other threads on FR that show her picture, believe me you are better off without seeing it!

There’s no need to superimpose a beagle on THAT face!

She's the one on the left... Not sure if Photoshop could do any worse.

If you have to “explain” a “joke,” then it probably isn’t so funny.

From the article: ...the Alaska governor accused Biegel [of] "asinine political grandstanding."

She outclasses them every time.

Asking for help from Obama is hopeless.

But not pointless. She put him on the spot ... his likely failure to respond can be used against him.

Thanks, now if someone with the know how would be willing to overlay her mug with the face of a beagle dog (sorry to the dog in advance), we will have the bitch looking like she , should, we’ll send it to her and to everyone we know. That way, she will get to experience what it feels like to have yourself maligned and if we can FIND a picture cf her children, and if not, her PARENTS, we will do the same. Sometimes you HAVE to allow a cruel person to experience their own handiwork.

Oh, Saint Obama has no problem “speaking out” against those who would trash Sarah Palin. He actually did during the election, albeit in a passing, lip-service manner.

He can look like an angel because he knows FULL WELL the amoral, cowardly thugs in the ObmaMedia will continue to do the heavy-lifting and dirty work for him, while he floats above the fray.
