Bristol Palin's pregnancy is a "damaging revelation " that has caused Sarah Palin's image to "suffer." Says who? Says ABC News, in an article by Rick Klein and Jennifer Parker.
In Palin Pregnancy Rocks Political World, Klein and Parker report reaction from a variety of Republican and traditional-values sources. Every one, from Dr. James Dobson to Grover Norquist to Chuck Donovan of the Family Research Council to a pro-life delegate to the GOP convention who said "the fact that her daughter's keeping it and marrying the father is wonderful," had a positive reaction.
But what do they know? Declare Klein and Parker emphasis added]:
Palin's image may suffer further if more damaging revelations come out in the coming days and weeks.

So it's ok for the MSM to smear Sarah?
People are going to see through this ad homonym attack for what it is -
I’ve had perfect human beings here at FR telling me all day that it matters.
This week's talking point
“Palin’s image may suffer further if more damaging revelations come out in the coming days and weeks.”
Isn’t that special? But no revelation seems to damage Obama/Biden.
Let’s see. We have a pregnant 17 year old. Adultry is mentioned in the 10 commandments....but don’t see a thing about a pregnant teen being a SIN.
However, bearing false witness is right up there.

Sen. Joseph Biden - Bearing false witness...
It doesn’t take a genius to smell their panic and fear.
I don’t know how this will ultimately play out. At first, I have to admit that I was disappointed by the news. After thinking about it, though, I admire the Palin family more than ever and my heart goes out to Bristol. Can you imagine how she must feel knowing that her mom, and entire family, will be the butt of jokes and intense criticism because of her mistake? The family’s statement, though, was so supportive and is just what my husband and I would say if we are ever in that position.
I do worry that the leftists will have some success with asking how this happened if Sarah was such a great mom and maybe she really shouldn’t be in the VP slot if she can’t take better care of what’s happening with her kids. You’ve gotta know that’s what’s coming next.
I'm Pro Palin and Proud!
Also this from Newsbusters:
“I think I’ve got it now. These are the MSM rules when dealing with the personal lives of national candidates and/or members of their family:
Given the chance to publicly embarrass and humiliate a Republican candidate’s 17 year old daughter, do it.
If it’s a moralizing former Democratic candidate for president, well, leave that to the National Enquirer.
Today, to head off the many tawdry rumors being passed back and forth between the Daily Kos diarists and their MSM fellow travelers, the McCain camp announced that Governor Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.”
ppppftttt...
Vile.
Please send them this piece if they want to learn how to think ...and write.

McCain has lost all support from the pro-”honor killing” crowd.
Teaching Abstinence in school take a hit.
So wait, the Number 2’s daughter got pregnant? That’s it; I want my donation back and I’m voting for Obama. /s
And if we refuse to watch their shows and buy their rotten newspapers they will be unemployed elitist slime. I won’t even read a Newsweek magazine at the doctor’s office because I don’t want to read their garbage.
If that's not a threat, I don't know what one is.
The MSM's going to hang itself trying to destroy this woman.
abc. Whistling past the graveyard again. When did a 17 year old girl becoming pregnant become a “damaging revelation” to anyone other than the liberal Commie ‘RATS in the MSM who think that she should have an abortion? Stuff it abc! That’s why you’ve become irrelevant.
Nor Americans, so far the Palin's seem like a normal American family.
Fox just clarified that the lawyer was hired two weeks ago, and represents both the governor’s office as well as the individual. In AK, they don’t have in house counsel.
The left sees the big problem being that the young woman is keeping the baby AND marrying its father.
Abort and run is more the left’s style.
