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."

Remember the hoopla when Chelsea was the First Child, and Rush on his TV show was accused of showing a picture of a dog when referring to Chelsea? The libs never failed to bring up that situation, even though it didn’t happen the way they said it did. But oh, the outrage from them. How could Rush be so cruel to a child?

I’m waiting for the outrage from the same sources now. (Wake me when they do).

Obama is the last person you should ask to care about the wellbeing of babies.

No, the citation of a classic political cartoon (can you name the author, thus giving an indication that you know anything about the topic?) is the "fact".

Please try to keep up with the class.

I guarantee you that when Obama sees/saw the picture he laughed.

Look at those girls’ faces and contrast them to mama. They look traumatized by Rev Wright, as any innocent person would be listening to that racist bilge, and Michelle looks ready to break into the Hallelujah chorus.

“At the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Celtic Diva’s Blue Oasis was honored to represent Alaska as the state blog.”

“standard traditional political cartoon”

True, FreeRepublic does this stuff too, but we don’t claim to represent anyone but ourselves as far as I know.

Stapelton also suggested President Obama should speak out against such behavior from liberal activists. Is this person living in an alternate reality?

This is a good tactic.

We need to make this sicko the face of the Alaskan Democrat Party. And by extension the DNC.

If the dems don't condemn her she becomes their spokesman by default.

Tell your mastiff I am very sorry indeed. :(
Maybe photoshop a wild boars puss over hers? Not to insult boars either, just looks like she grazes like one, and is as nasty.

Sarah scares the Hell into these people. I haven’t seen leftist scumbags respond with this much fear since Reagan had the state media wetting on themselves.

It's obvious this blogger pig Bagel is jealous of Governor Palin.

We need track down who is paying her.
