That Sarah Palin rumor

Bloggers

here

and here ] are all over the theory that Sarah Palin's four-month-old baby may actually be her grandchild - the son of her 16-year-old daughter, who missed most of the last school year with what the family said was mononucleosis.

[ snip ]

My first thought is that this sort of scrutiny has to be really hard on the 16-year-old girl in question. And my second thought was that IF this turns out to be true, I'll find it a really scary example - perhaps the most scary example of anything I've seen in a long time - of a politician who would do anything to get elected.

And if this IS true, Sarah Palin has opened her daughter up to a rough ride by exposing her family to the national press. The mainstream media only recently found itself badly burned when tabloids and bloggers completely scooped them on a salacious rumor (John Edwards' affair) that turned out to be 100% true. You can bet the press won't let this happen again, and I guarantee you that there are reporters in Alaska right this minute, poring over school, birth, and travel records, as well as looking at every photo of this family that they can get their hands on.

Probably, but considering that she was pregnant in Alaska in the wintertime, I’d imagine that she’d be wearing bulky clothing most of the time. Ever if she showed, that wouldn’t be proof enough for the DUmmies (because she’s “obviously” faking it as part of the coverup).

Imagine had this been the Clintons or Obamas and this started coming out. The hue and cry from the Sunday talk shows would have been deafening.

As would the cheering from here. Such is our political process. Frankly, we richly deserve what's coming.

diverteach started a Pray for Sarah Palin thread two days ago. I’m about to combine it with the more established Pray for Bush thread and we will seamlessly change it come January 20th. Stay tuned for the thread.

Oh for pity’s sake...I’m sure there were eye-witnesses in the Gov’s office that can testify Sarah was pregnant!

[Melinda]

Amazing, just when you think they couldn’t be more idiotic, this.

[DeLaine]

Could you possibly give me a link to that picture??

Obama operatives in full attack against OUR VP CANDIDATE

I love the smell of liberal fear in the morning.

[They'reGone2000]

The desperate Democrats have watched too much Desperate Houswives.

Same plot line.

[Lancey Howard]

The silliness from the rats will not end anytime soon. When your own candidate is a known, crack-smoking homosexual this is the kind of smear that you are forced to resort to.

[freeplancer]

Not only what you said, but it would take a monster to force your other children to keep this secret also. I am sorry, but she is not the type to sell her soul for fame and power like the Clintons or Hussein.

[beckysueb]

I see the Knoxville News Urinal is speculating, too.

[aculeus]

Good grief. They really are spooked by our next VP. Poor lying babies.

[RichardW]

I warned about this problem yesterday. The upside is that if it can be ultimately knocked down it will diminish still further the far left’s wacko views.

wonder what these skurwasyny would say about my mother who had a Downs baby at the age of 48...the oldest of my sisters was 19 at that time...of course, this baby was the only one of us 9 who was born in the hospital so there would be multiple witnesses from the medical community to back me up when I rip their arms out and beat them over the head with them...

Wonder what is going thru Track’s mind on this “story”

[Gaffer]

Katie Allison Granju.....now how could anyone expect anything better from a lamestreammedia whore with a name like this?

Even if this tripe were true, she thinks it would be an attempt to get elected. In reality, I see a ficticious action like this as a deeply personal act to save an unborn life (even one whose potential for success may be limited) and the reputation of a daughter.

Katie, you should stop whoring for the DNC and try the streets. If you look halfway decent, you might make some real money if you tried as hard as you have with this $hit.

Twice I’ve seen you post that link, and twice I have followed it. There is nothing on that page that talks about the pregnancy. Maybe you need to update your link? Or what am I missing?

As would the cheering from here. Such is our political process. Frankly, we richly deserve what's coming.

Horsecrap--any FReeper who would have gone so far to claim that Hillary Clinton's child is actually the child of a incestuous union between Bill and Chelsea would have been ZOTted before the post had seen the light of day. REAL FReepers would have been smashing the ABUSE button on that one. We're better than that, and for you to claim otherwise is disappointing. I wouldn't have cheered it, nor would you. Get a grip.

See the DUmmie response to this rumor.

[I see my hands]

Suggested course of action:

In response to your supporters ugly smears here is my son's birth certificate. May we see yours, Barack Obama?

[Drango]

What filth....guilt by innuendo....spread by the MSM.
