I don't recall them insulting black children. Even though there wasn't a black child of the President of the United States at the that time, I can't imagine Archie Bunker referring to them as a "family of ghetto trash" and "ghetto thugs".
So are some people on this thread. It's beyond ridiculous.
Of course he didn’t. You are right.
Once again, you refer to a handful of posts out of over 160. Not nice, for sure, but not the intent of the thread or indicative of the overall tone.
Re: “I guess your idea and my idea of hair looking *fine* wildly differ. Black Panthers and ghetto gangs come to mind when I see that and she does NOT wear her hair like that. It was a statement. We will agree to disagree. I will never agree with you on this.”

I agree with you, mojitojoe — and if I encountered that “child” with that hair “style” and that tee-shirt accompanied by that “15 year old (??)” male in the sloppy attire seen in the photo, I can assure you I would most certainly cross the street.
> These people said the most vile things about Sarah Palin and her family imaginable.
My response is the same as my mom’s when I excused my bad behavior saying the neighborhood kids did that and worse.
“It doesn’t matter what THEY do. YOU still need to act like a decent human being.”
No evil behavior on Dims’ parts excuses evil behavior on ours. Do you honestly want DIMS to set the bar for YOUR behavior? Seriously? Those comments about the Obama kids on the FR thread were absolutely disgusting, and if I ever see their like again on FR I will hit the “Abuse” link so fast it’ll make heads swim.
RE: “She does wear her hair like that. There are many pictures of her hair like that. There is nothing about her hair that is associated with Black Panthers and ghetto gangs. It is a typical african-american hairstyle, and not a statement”

Maybe it’s the frequently mean ‘look’ on her face that doesn’t help matters where many observers are concerned?
Someone needs to do a thread of "troll tricks". The newest one is: troll one says something like - 'Obama did "such and such" and Bush never would have done that' - then when a few marks have climbed on - the second troll says, "Oh that WAS Bush who did that". It's a one two punch...
Not the case. You have been defending the "handful of posts" and I have been countering you. You really come across as a racist who hates the children of our President because the are black.
With that type of elitist, better than thou attitude you should consider becoming a politician.
No, I have not. I agreed that the kids are off limits. But when it comes to the adults, it's a different story.
And go ahead and play the racist card. It's old, tiresome and untrue.
They're coming out of the woodwork today.
I think I posted on this thread. My contribution was that they were using the daughter as a billboard. I don't usually read every comment posted on a thread (is there someone designated to do this?). I know we have trolls posing as conservatives here. Seen many a ZOT of such. Still, I'm not surprised at the hypocrisy of a KOS poster. They chastise us for not having a sense of humor over the Palin children or not supporting free speech when they use the most foul or racist of language (house negro/uncle Tom comes to mind) to describe those they disagree with.
they were directed at the baggy pants black boy with the Obama child
make no mistake, Obama has her out there as a prop...she wore two different peace shirts in several days
i doubt that is coincidence
but unlike their viciousness towards GOP politicians kids which we’ve watched here since the Bush girls, we should leave their early teen kids alone
not that it matters in the long run really, nothing we do can reach the serious left, it’s a neurosis for which there is maybe not even a cure baring life experience
And someone who disagrees with your position is Sandra Dee. Oh yeah, you are the high and mighty.
Nope. Sandra Dee = PC.
Here, here, I was on a few of these type threads yesterday and pretty much saw the same thing.
This is so typical of the left, putting up people to pass their message along but who are of a select group that dare not be criticized. There is no doubt in my mind that is why zer0 was picked over Hillary to bring this liberal wet dream of a socialist utopia to a climax.
Criticize the one, you're a racist, put the kid in a peace sign t-shirt, can't say a word.....and so on
We are better but quite frankly it doesn't seem to matter, after all we're not exactly in the winners seat are we? We seem to embody the idea that nice guys finish last, I can't say I like the idea but it's where the dems have brought the political discourse.
I'm not advocating attacking the kids but what they're wearing is a different story especially when they are traveling on our dime and representing the USA. We can leave the kid alone but in my view it's time to get down and nasty with these traitors.
They are the enemy of this nation and I want to win the fight no matter the cost
Am I wrong....I'll close my eyes and peek
i find this sort of knee jerk weakness here where some freepers always fall for this “race is the end all” garbage the worst sort of irritant
that sort of kneejerkedness makes it impossible to deal with our most pressing problems, got Obama elected largely and has about destroyed our nation
our culture is simply not better off than it was before we started on this crazy road to perpetual minority victimhood and the war on whiteness......the cure for racial discrimination is arguably worse than the original problem
it's insanity and permeates conservatism only slightly less than liberalism
the poor taste in attacking any man's kids notwithstanding..
Great post, Ron. Thanks.
