Free Republic Forces Huffington Post to Pull Offensive Sarah Palin Article
Friday, July 3, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/03/2009 5:10:14 PM PDT by kristinn

Exposure by Free Republic has forced the Huffington Post to take down an article attacking Sarah Palin over her Down Syndrome afflicted child, Trig, within ninety minutes of the offensive article being written about at Free Republic.

Clicking on the source link at the Huffington Post now brings a page devoid of the article and headline. The keywords referencing Trig remain, however the original 'Comedy news' tag has been changed to 'Home news'

The article, entitled "Palin Will Run In '12 on More Retardation Platform" was written by Huffington Post writer Erik Sean Nelson.

That’s nothing. Obama actually appointed one as his running mate.

Just checked.That’s him.Don’t look.”Jesus of course would never masturbate to naked pictures of Miss California winner Carrie Prejean. He has some dignity unlike this Bible-loving hypocrite. Today naked pictures of her were released and in response, I’d like to change her name to “Carrie Pre-cum in my Jeans.”

in my dreams - in der fuhrer’s next presser - a real reporter is called on

opens by reading some of this hufpo post

lifts head and asks

‘why are these people admitted to your press conferences?’

if the spin is ‘taken down’ or ‘one time incident’, read from the celebrations when tony snow was diagnosed with cancer - and when it returned

the only thing a bully understands is a fist in the face from a bigger bully - hopefully someone will investigate the author and his family

"Palin Will Run In '12 on More Retardation Platform"

She reveals their nature.

They fear her. Desperately.

Way to go.

“Palin will never run for President. She is just acting as a good distraction for a real Republican....Mitt Romney. Go Mitt, Go!!!”

Only if real Republicans consist of shape shifting, pro abortion, pro homosexual rights RINO’s.

I’ll pass on that type of “real Republican”.

And by the way, the Sarah Palin that addressed the Republican convention, would absolutely destroy Romney in a debate.

Mitt Romney is a well-oiled sleazeman whose mandated healthcare plan is running Massachusetts into the financial rocks, even as longtime residents migrate out to escape the state rightly called “Tax-achusetts”.

Mitt is a RINO, and will never have the full support of real Conservatives because he is clearly and obviously NOT ONE OF US.

Screw Mitt and screw his campaign hopes and screw his “plants” everywhere who ply their vicious and petty character assassination attempts against those who might oppose him.

He doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in a blast furnace in 2012 - and even if Conservatives don’t see to that, the mainstreamer media will! They’ll set him up, and knock him down just as they did with McCain - if he ever gets that far.

Mitt is McCain lite (give an issue here, take an issue there), just like Huckabee and other RINOs.

Elephant wanted - no RINOs need apply.

Sorry - NO SALE!

Just did a very quick inquiry of his work, per your link. Undergrad level writing, not jocular or especially creative or thoughtful, relying upon shock value to hustle his wares. In short he’s got nothing. Thus my unknowing...

There is such a large number of freepers that if we played six degrees of separation we could probably find out all sorts of info about this creep and other Huffhos.

Since I posted, I called the RNC and told them I registered and voted Repub since Reagan, but am a conservative independent. I said the Republicans hadn't done much for me over the past few years, and their treatment of Sarah was the last straw, especially not saying anything against the people attacking her kids and that snot S. Schmit giving info to VF.

I also told her to take my name off call list and mail list, as I would be giving to SarahPAC to help a true conservative,and our own Senator Jeff Sessions, who is one of the few Congress members doing anything. She said she would pass it along to the Chairman.

If a few thousand people would do the same, Maybe it would hit the NRC---they CANNOT win elections without the base. There are not that many "moderates" and "O" will keep most minorities and a hunk of the mods, no matter what.

Also told her the Repubs didn't seem to have a clue as to what is happening--Obama shredding the Constitution every day and them sitting there thinking it is politics as usual.

When FreeRepublic has enemies like that vicious foreign strumpet Ariana Huffington, who woul slither so low as to attack a child with Down’s Suyndome. we KNOW we are on the right side.
