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 is going to get it back in spades. It is time to stop this creepy and dirty abuse of children by sick liberals who do not care about innocence or ethical action.

I hope someone who knows how to put a beagle dog face on this pathetic human will do so...captioned act like a bitch, look like a bitch.

And send it to her...I followed one link to her facebook page...there has to be a way to get the photo to her...and if there is a photo around of her parents...then malign them too....just like she did Trig.

She needs to understand what this feels like and other dirtbag liberals to know that one's FAMILY IS ALWAYS OFF LIMITS!

The media will not rest until it brings this lady down to their disgusting pessimistic view of reality. They loath anyone or any thing that represents light and virtue.

Sarah should be more like President G.W. Bush and say nothing to these obvious provocations. CNN is only reporting this to broaden the effect of the initial slight.

good photoshop of her at above. I don’t know how to post photos but I think the site that does them deserves the traffic anyway.

I know the left is despicable, mean, gross, intolerant, backstabbing and uncaring, but this is a surprise even to me.

It shouldn't be. algore joked about republicans who opposed his policies being from the "extra-chromosome wing of the republican party". Numerous other democrat "leaders" joked about Bush being retarded. The democrat party in one of the south-eastern states (I think it was South Carolina but I'm not sure) made a poster in which a photo of a young Special Olympics athlete crossing the finish line in a race was doctored with George W Bush's face superimposed. The caption read "Voting for Bush is like running in the Special Olympics: Even if you win, you're still retarded!" Democrats have a tendency to be hateful, condescending, and convinced of their own mental superiority to anyone who does not share their statist philosophies. algore and Joe Biden are poster children for this delusional sense of grandeur.

Nope; it's just a standard traditional political cartoon, like this classic:

I doubt this bitter old hag has children.

It’s why she’s “married to the gov’t”.

Why are there quotes around malicious? Is it because CNN, the despicable media arm of the democrat party, doesn’t think it’s despicable?

Because that was the word Palin used in her response. They were quoting her.

I can just never be surprised at the viciousness of these little lefties. Just when I think they have gone as low as they can go, they take another step down.

"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."

(from the article) Then why you pig did you use the Palins baby for your picture..You are such a liar..Your president must really get his jollies when pigs like you do something like this..

President Bush would have said something..but not the Muslim..
