Sarah Takes on the Media
The Washington Times ^ | 1/3/09 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 01/03/2009 10:35:24 AM PST by lakeprincess

Mama Tiger: Grandma Sarah Palin cuts to the chase with journalists eager to dismiss her daughter Bristol and husband-to-be as "high school drop outs" just days after Bristol became mother to a little boy — Mrs. Palin's first grandchild. Link has the governor's complete statement about motherhood, media - and faith.

Let's be optimistic and say each completes high school. If you weren't well to do they wound;t have a chance. Not all single Mom's have the situation your daughter has. Your daughter just maybe an exception but dear, the stats don't lie for other single Moms in the same situation. Also dear,isn't it time your daughter and the father married?

Sarah Palin's unmarried daughter has baby. Women and Minorities hardest hit!

Sarah is NO ROLE model in this house.

I would hate to live in your house. I'll bet if one of your kids make a mistake you would never forgive them. You probably have no idea what your kids do behind your back.

Isn’t it actually time people got their noses out of the Palin family? Or, stuck their noses equally into the families of the Socialist Demokratik Politburo?

Let’s hear more about “the one’s” conception and subsequent marital break-up. Let’s hear more about how a Black child in Arkansas bears an uncanny resemblance to B.J. Clinton, while daughter, Chelsea, remarkably resembles Webb Hubbel more so that ‘daddy.’

It isn’t so much time for “Sarah dear to PIPE DOWN” as it time for others to “SHUT UP!!!!!!!”

Playing the class division card that they may fare better because of the Palin’s wealth is pure garbage. Others have made it throughout life because they worked hard for it.

If Sarah wants to get anywhere on the National Scene, she should learn to keep her mouth shut. She might not like what the press is saying about a personal matter, but she would be better of to say nothing. People get tired of the same old saws, and she should reserve her comments for a real issue.She has to realize the press is just doing what they always do.

Remaining quiet sure helped Bush and the GOP as they were mercilessly attacked these past 8 years, didn't it?

Sarah does not need to shut up in defending her children....She took enough bs during her run for the VP...She is a class act and conservative.....There is not very many that we have to chose from....All my life I have been around pious individuals and you know what...They are the first to critize someone else and they are never ever perfect....I hope she continues to defend her daughter and the rest of her family and I will help....I look forward to voting for her the next time around....If the other half she ran with had have the spunk she had he might have won.........

The right’s problem is that we have “shut up” for far too long. It is time we took the fight back to the left and “got in their faces.”

All Sarah Palin is is a BIG MOUTH bwitch.

Do you teach your kids also coarse, gutter-level insults? I guess these are your "family values".

She's also not to bright - which she seems to revel in ...

When accusing someone of being dumb, learn to write properly first.

Amen too that...We are in for a rough two years....I read a recently retired LTC out of the Marines comments....He stated we have no idea what we are up against....At least some in this Country do not.....I will defend Sarah any time and any place....It is time she got the chance to defend herself and her family and I will be right there by her side.. For one individual here I have no respect at all and I imagine she knows who it is......

“Isn’t it actually time people got their noses out of the Palin family? Or, stuck their noses equally into the families of the Socialist Demokratik Politburo?”

What I object to is “conservatives” defending liberal family values.

“Let’s hear more about “the one’s” conception and subsequent marital break-up. Let’s hear more about how a Black child in Arkansas bears an uncanny resemblance to B.J. Clinton, while daughter, Chelsea, remarkably resembles Webb Hubbel more so that ‘daddy.’”

Changing the subject doesn't solve the problem of liberal family values becoming the GOP’s new mantra. I will not be side tracked. Liberals have NO VALUES. There is NO low for them. Don't you SEE that? What I don't want is my party, the GOP, being dragged down with defending an unwed daughter,being pregnant and viewing this as okay. Why would I want to waste my time of the mantra of Demoncrats - liberal family values? I don't. We've beaten to death all you have brought up to distract me from being critical of Sarah Palin. I expect BETTER and MORE from people who want to be labeled “conservatives”.

It isn’t so much time for “Sarah dear to PIPE DOWN” as it time for others to “SHUT UP!!!!!!!”

“Playing the class division card that they may fare better because of the Palin’s wealth is pure garbage. Others have made it throughout life because they worked hard for it.” You want people like me to "SHUT UP" because you do NOT like TRUTH that I speak. Well, get used to it and WAKE UP! Remove yourself from the Palin cult. Sarah is certainly not the BEST we can do as a representative and certainly NOT a role model - a loud mouthed, empty headed, "pit bull with lipstick" is hardly something I can look UP to.

There you go again! Initially Bristol Palin WILL DO BETTER because of her Mom's better financial position. Surely you can't deny that. IF they ever decide to get married .. will the marriage last? Probably not. Both are immature. Regardless of ECONOMIC STATUS, kids raising a baby don't fare well. It also doesn't appear that Sarah and her husband have any plans on changing what lead up to the pregnancy - MAKING TIME FOR THEIR KIDS.

Had these parents been AROUND for their kids, this wouldn't have happened. It's tough to have sex in front of your parents. Something went wrong with their teachings on values... .

When I deal with someone like you, I swear I feel like I'm conversing with a LIBERAL - right on down to “class warfare”. What I am saying is that Bristol has the ADVANTAGE of having some money to help her with her baby. She will live at home. She will not be forced to drop out of school and get a job. The baby will have all it needs courtesy of the PARENTS. Most unwed mothers do NOT have her financial backing - that is NOT “class warfare”. That is a FACT. The stats for kids having babies is BLEAK.

We don't want kids mislead into believing that having kids at 16, 17, or 18 is good - married or unmarried. It isn't and I don't care what their economic status is or who the parents are.

If Sarah was SMART, which she is not ... she'd shut up. She is throwing gasoline on the fire by responding to the media. She is showing how childish and petty SHE IS by responding. She will NOT win. All she does is look bad by defending what will NOT work - unwed kids having a baby - and what we do NOT need more of - unwed kids having babies.

So focus on what my reply is ABOUT instead of bait and switch tactics. They don't work with me. I EXPECT Demoncrats to have NO ISSUES with Palin family values. Heck, Obama wouldn't dream of punishimg his girls with a baby. So now that I have said that should Bristol have had an abortion? Of course NOT! She shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place! Bristol should have had more self control and conservative values.
I'm so tired of the GOP watering down traditional family values to that of LIBERAL FAMILY VALUES and now fiercely DEFENDING LIBERAL FAMILY VALUES because it involves a "Republican". It's mindbogglingly.

No it’s not “fake”.

I’msimply trying to point out that LIBERAL FAMILY VALUES like the Palin family are NOT Christian by any stretch of the imagination.

When the label fits, I sure do. I consider Hitlery and Pelosi to be the same. That will probably please you since it is a Demoncrat. It's not my fault if you don't like the label and you wish to be a BLIND partisan of gutter values.

She's also not to bright - which she seems to revel in ...

When accusing someone of being dumb, learn to write properly first.

I do. I don't have time for all the bells and whistles people like you want to nit pick. It's just another signal that you have LOST THE ARGUMENT. You are a petty person with nothing of value to say so you resort to nit picking. Why am I not surprised Sarah Palin impresses you?

What liberal family values are you talking about ? They look like a normal family to me. she is a successfull mother and governor. Her daughter made a personal choice.

you can try and try to raise your kids perfectly.

I know guys who had terrible parents who are doing well. I also know people in my family who had great parents, got everything they wanted, and they sit around and smoke weed all day long.

You are being way too judgemental here. It is time to step back and enter the real world.

These comments are from the drive by news media who support the former married president of the USA, father of one daughter whose wife is the Sectratary of State to be and who after attending Easter services at his church was later discovered to having been fellated by a White House intern barely 20 years old.

Please, drive by media, preach more to us about family values.

Your writing is appropriate for a teenager, not a 10 year freeper.

Coarse language, all-cap screeching, incoherent attacks... utterly immature and laughable. If you are trying to defend "conservative family values", learn to formulate coherent arguments. You might actually win a listener or two, instead of coming across like a bug eyed rottweiler. I didn't lose any "argument" since I had no discussion with you. All I do is laughing at your rants.

You are a petty person with nothing of value to say so you resort to nit picking.

Severe case of projection.

I consider Hitlery and Pelosi to be the same

Alrighty genius... Palin has the same values as Hillary and Pelosi? LOL.

I'm used to seeing hateful posts about Palin from this person. I used to think it was pathetic and sad but as of this thread it's become scary. Total deranged lunatic.
