The liberal Talking Points Memo website, which is deemed a respectable political site by the mainstream media which regularly quotes from their articles, published an article last night that speculated Alaska Governor Sarah Palin resigned because "she wants to spread Down syndrome." Palin's infant son Trig was born last year with Down syndrome.
Amazingly, the article was published at 11:51 p.m., hours after the Huffington Post had issued an apology over a similarly themed article that the site pulled after it was highlighted by Free Republic.
The TPM article, entitled Possible Reasons for Sarah Palin's Resignation and Other Schadenfreude, was written by Wayne Francis, a self-described Democrat.
The article, which is meant to be humorous, takes a snide swipe at Palin and her son Trig in Francis' reason number four for her resignation:
4. She wants to spread Down syndrome. When, earlier today, Sarah expressed a desire for more "Trigs" in the world, I could not have agreed more, because Down syndrome is just too cute to be reserved for 1 in 800 births.
Another liberal website, Paliban Daily, published a piece by Chris Smith entitled, Sarah Palin’s Retarded Platform: More Trigs!, that mocked Palin and her son Trig in language eerily similar to the master race language of the Nazis:
That’s right. Palin is about to embark on a career of causing babies to be born retarded. Down Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, crack addiction, or a good old-fashioned kick to the pregnant tummy, it doesn’t matter to Palin. She wants the world to have more Trigs.
Other than fueling a greater need for social services, think how this could benefit Palin politically. She already tests well with the Retarded demographic, and also the Retarded Sympathizer demographic.
Imagine the world Palin is trying to create, in which instead of a superior race, Palin breeds a stupider race. 20 years from now, she’ll only be in her late 60s. She’ll be able to run for President on the Retard ticket . . . no doubt with full support of Retardeds, Retarded Sympathizers, and the Politically-Correct.
Next time around, when Palin is told “Your platform is completely retarded”, she will be able to say, “You betcha! That’s just what my constituents want!”
It's amazing what passes for respectable political dialogue among Democrats these days. Simply amazing.
Liberals - what are ya gonna do with ‘em? You can’t reason with one and ammo is so darned expensive these days...;’}
Egads, how pitiful. No wonder we’re where we are with writings like that.
Just.....wow.
I just hope the average American is as sickened and offended by this kind of talk as I am. There’s a backlash getting ready to hit & it’s palpable.
Spread Down syndrome? Don’t thnk she can spread it, but it looks like she has done her part in identifying those who might have it.
It utterly disgusts me for the word “retard” to be used. Those who are less able than others because of a condition of their birth are often some of the finest and most loving sorts of folks on God’s green earth.
I wonder how well an article on, say, a “Faggot Party” would be received?
Your comment doesn’t make sense as people with Down syndrome are among the gentlest souls in God’s creation.
Average American will never know about this. Who is going to tell them? First of all people are partying this weekend so only big time politicos will be reading any of this. People on Fox News were asking about what they did to destroy a picture of Trig...FOX NEWS REPORTERS DID NOT EVEN KNOW. I think perhaps 2 percent of the United States knows about that incident and this less than 1 percent.
They are a sick group and should be admitted to a psychiatric facility.
I wonder if this jackass feels the same way about homosexuals who are also “born that way.”
This is what the left has been reduced to. They hate women, children, people of character and honesty. And, they are scared to death of Sarah
Best scenario:
Liberated from her heavy gubernatorial burden, Palin now becomes an political guerrilla war powerhouse, appearing anywhere and everywhere to raise holy hell against the enemy forces.
I am guessing these enemy cowards are terrified of Palin.
On CNN’s Lou Dobbs show last night, David Gergen and Ed Rollins both said they had no idea what Sarah was referring to when she mentioned the despicable things said about Trig. They were totally unaware of these vicious blogs....just what one would expect from these dinosaurs. And these clueless commentators are CNN’s resident “experts” on the GOP.
Won’t ID those joyous loving people with Down syndrome but those who are retarded as defined on the web :
b. a person who is stupid, obtuse, or ineffective in some way: a hopeless social retard.
As if more were needed.
Come on everybody knows that the real reason was Fox News and Karl Rove got her to resign as a way to cut-off Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson from making money off of Michael Jackson’s death.
“Amazingly, the article was published at 11:51 p.m., hours after the Huffington Post had issued an apology over a similarly themed article that the site pulled after it was highlighted by Free Republic.”
You rock, Kristinn!
Thanks again, Mr. Robinson for giving us this awesome forum that attracts the cream of the crop! :)
I guess that day is just gone.
If such liberals still exist, they are either too cowed or apathetic to shout down leftists openly, proudly and laughingly embracing fascist biological purity doctrine. Either that or they're too vastly outnumbered to be heard. (Effect is the same either way.)
