Obama's Huffington Post: "Palin Will Run in '12 on More Retardation Platform"
Friday, July 3, 2009 | Kristinn

The Huffington Post, an official arm of the Obama administration, published an article a few minutes ago on the resignation of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin with the following headline: Palin Will Run in '12 on More Retardation Platform

To make sure that the article's reference to Gov. Palin's infant son Trig who was born with Down Syndrome last year, the article is keyword tagged by the Huffington Post: ...Sarah Palin Trig; Trig; Comedy News

The article is authored by Erik Sean Nelson was posted at the Huffington Post at 6 p.m. EDT.

The text of the article:

In Sarah Palin's resignation announcement she complained about the treatment of her son Trig who always teaches her life lessons. She said that the "world needs more Trigs, not fewer." That's a presidential campaign promise we can all get behind. She will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people. To me, it's kinda like saying the world needs more cancer patients because they teach us such personal lessons.

Her first act as President: To introduce a Pre-K lunch buffet that includes lead paint chips. Sort of a Large HEAD-START Program.

She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40's just to mix up some chromosomes.

She now is in favor of abortion only in case of diploid birth.

Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter.

This will lead to smaller government because fewer Americans will have the cognitive ability to hold a government job.

Look, she says she's resigning as governor because people are making attacks on her and Trig. If she ever did become president, all Osama bin Laden would have to do to defeat the United States is Photoshop a picture of Trig and she'd surrender the country that night. As she said, "That's not politics as usual." It isn't. Politicians don't usually quit for so stupid of reasons.

Nelson's HuffPo bio: Erik Nelson has written for several comedy websites and published short fiction while living in the deep South. He has studied the local culture of his Red State and feels confident that they have accepted him as one of their own. Big mistake.

The Huffington Post was recently invited to the White House to ask a question of Barack Obama at a nationally televised press conference. The questioner, HuffPo National Editor Nico Pitney, asked a question on a pre-arranged topic of Obama. Pitney was trusted to do so because of his background as a Democratic party operative.

I worked with disabled people and those who were in the facility and company mostly voted Democrat. They got govt. grants and I do remember well how much that word was offensive. Yes. I think that is an astounding revelation right there. It is only about shutting people up. Not about women (think about Sarah) and not about the disabled. Never was and never will be.

I, too, wrote to Erik and recieved te same reply:

I believed her weak reasons for leaving were worth mocking. But it just upset the loved ones of the retarded, which wasn't my goal, so I removed it.

You dumbass.....she means letting the precious children live instead of aborting them.

You should be ashamed of yourself for writing this. Is your momma proud of you???

It’s amazing to me a child of God can get so far away from Him that spitting in the Almighty’s eye means nothing to them.

God raised us up to be so much more than the dust from which we were formed, but some simply choose to wallow in the dirt.

Agree 100%. Just look at where ‘rise above the tactics’ has landed us: a hard-core Marxist in the White House, a psycho-Marxist as Speaker of the House and a fool running the senate.

Pubs fiddle while Rome burns.

These people have no shame. Anyone who would make fun of a retarded baby is lower then an animal. Animals have more respect for life then they do.

Oh, I don’t know. Lions will eat the young of the pride after he defeats the former head. The life of a male lion is almost as chancy as that of a conservative politician. ;)

Seriously, what they have done to Palin makes me want to punch out a lot of these guys. All politics is dirty, but I thought a woman’s children would be off-limits. But no one is more vicious than the pro-choice feminists and their gay allies.

Well, that’s pretty lame.

In other words, they don’t care.

WEll, I know I care about Trig. That’s why some friends and I started a website to support him, www.pray4trig.com.
