I guess wanting to have your child close is akin to hauling around a prop.
I need a shower after reading hateful screeds like this.

Yes, WHY didnt she complain about Bidens grandchildren?
What time was it in Deleware? They didn't seem eager to get them tucked in as they lingered for a schmooze fest and photo op with Ms. Ifill.

I just e-mailed ABC Sports and told them they might want to muzzle the B!tch. I didn't use the word muzzle but I did say. . .
I'm getting so tired of people bashing the Palin family and I'm starting to make my feelings known. I realize it likely won't help but it makes me feel better.

I say let them keep yakking. They are doing more harm than good to their cause. Parents everywhere embrace and see what kind of parents the Palins are. They are us.
Oh by the way, Suze...I’ll bet you just swooned over that children’s video homage to your leader.

I bet if Suzy Shuster had a baby, shed realize Trig isnt a political prop.
And maybe she'd realize that babies don't pay attention to clocks. A baby doesn't care what time it is, if baby wants to be awake at midnight, it'll make sure to wake you up too. There's absolutely nothing wrong with bringing your baby with you wherever you have to go. If baby wants to sleep, it'll sleep even in noisy environments. If baby wants to be awake, it'll be awake even in dimly lit silence. As a new dad I've had these concepts drilled into me. It's the most basic principle in parenting an infant; wherever you go, baby goes with you. This is doubly true if you're a breastfeeding mom. I'm sure Shuster wouldn't care enough about her own children to put herself through the discomfort and trouble of breastfeeding though, so it's no surprise that she's clueless.
Although someone said they think she has had one child, I can't seem to find any info on it. If she has had a child then she's the world's most ignorant mother of all time. That, or she's just playing stupid to score cheap shot political points. After all, liberals think children are a punishment, so how could any of her libtard readers know any better? If they're willing to believe that Palin faked her pregnancy to cover up for her daughter, surely they'll have an even easier time latching onto this ignorant criticism.

It actually came after the debate, when for seemingly the millionth time, Sarah Palin trotted out her piece de resistance, her favorite prop of this campaign season: her five and a half month old son Trig.Ugh. If Palin had not brought Trig out or even along, never brought him along, 'left him to sleep in his crib', attended to by his dad or a nanny, Suz would be the first to blast her for 'hiding' her son with a disability or putting her VP job ahead of her infant, or both. Suzy is grasping at straws, has nothing substantial, so launches a personal attack du jour (changeable as needed).
To: Mike Bates
Natural motherhood is offensive to the left. Those who do have a child or two treat them like fashionable accessories. Once again, they project their own POV on Palin. Their kids are mere props, so Sarah’s must be, too.

Good point, also it might be useful to note that by alaska time, the debate ended around 6:00pm, not unreasonable at all. In any case, I still maintain that there's nothing inherently wrong with bringing a baby with you late at night (as long as it's a safe environment) since babies don't care what time it is - they're going to do whatever they were going to at home anyway.

Incidently, I tried making this point on huffpo in less aggressive terms. Not surprisingly, they did not accept my comment. Have to censor all of that rational thinking and experience, ya know, but comments wishing for the assassination of a sitting vice president are all good.

Amazing!
Sarah Palin trotted out her piece de resistance, her favorite prop of this campaign season: her five and a half month old son Trig.
It's bad for a mother to want to be with her baby??? I've seen the video of her daughters holding Trig, and that's not staged. This is a family filled with love and closeness, not planned props and staged movements. The problem here is that liberals can't imagine sincerity in a politician, so they assume the motives they would need if they were to do something so crass as allowing a child to intrude on their real life.
Why isn't this baby sleeping in a crib or bassinet somewhere with a sleep sheep or some other sound apparatus lulling him into night-night?
It's wrong that Sarah Palin, mother, thinks a real live person is better for baby than a 'sound apparatus'???
But the truth is, if she was just like all you other Moms out there, America, then she'd know the best thing she can do for this infant is to make sure he is tucked safely in his bed and out cold at eleven pm.
Has this woman ever been a mother, or if so did she interact with her own child before the nanny had the child fully raised??? At that age, an awake baby will stay awake and will benefit from something interesting to watch, whether it's bright lights or Mommy ripping into a stuffy old guy, and a sleepy baby can sleep through the monotonous noise of a debate. Any real parent would know that was not a problem, even without considering the time zone change and that Trig is probably up at 6:30 pm Alaska time anyways.

Did Barack trot out his kids when they joined him at the convention? Not to mention putting them on "Access Hollywood."

Apparently she has, but you wouldn't know it by reading her article, would you? That goes to the second part of your question. Without a doubt, if she really believed this nonsense that infants should be "out cold at 11pm" (nevermind that it was something like 6pm alaska time) then she's never raised an infant herself. They're on their own schedule and they don't care if it's noon or midnight, nor do they care if you have to go to work the next morning, which I'm sure is why she offloaded her offspring onto the nearest nanny from day one. A real parent would know better. Baby goes with you, wherever you go.
