Via CNN's Political Ticker. An aide asks Obama to speak out against over-the-top Democrat activists? Puhlease!! Mr. Acorn trains them, he doesn't rein them in. Apparently Biegel filed a frivolous ethics complaint against Palin earlier this month, too. h/t the Freepers.
Biegel, who blogs in support of the Alaska Democratic Party under the name "Celtic Diva," superimposed a picture of conservative Alaskan radio host Eddie Burke over Trig's face in an apparent effort to show how close the radio host is with the Alaskan governor.
"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."
Stapelton also suggested President Obama should speak out against such behavior from liberal activists.
Shouldn't that be "fat-asinine" political grandstanding?
Earlier this month Biegel filed an ethics complaint against Palin for wearing a jacket made by a company that sponsored her husband — a snow mobile racer — to a public event. An investigator ruled Palin had not acted wrongly and the Alaska governor accused Biegel "asinine political grandstanding."


Yet, the Asinine is unaware of the fact that according to Obamacare being fat is worse than being Hitler; thus disposing of the Asinine is necessary to maintain the proper shiny happy for all others under Obamacare.

Ass a nine? I'd bet that ass is about a 15.

It's hilarious that Palin has moved on from using her children as props to express her poutrage at David Letterman, to progressing *downward* to using her children as props to express her poutrage at a local blogger. This is the person favored by the winger base to be the GOP's nomination in 2012. No surprise that the party of petty, reality-denying children is gaga over one of their own. Caribu Barbie trots out her family for political gain every chance she gets and her supporters express such pearl-clutching shock and outrage that anyone dare say anything.

She really scares you, doesn't she, Patrick?

Actually, this doesn't surprise us, Patrick; your party is the one whose leader explains his poor bowling by mocking the Special Olympics.
Under Obamacare, babies like Trig would be euthanized or aborted. It's thus no surprise that you and your fellow Obama Party members see nothing wrong with mutilating his picture or mocking Palin for having him in the first place.
Really, what do Obama Party members care about children? You kill the "unwanted" ones and you think it's normal and funny to talk about raping teenage ones. The only use you have for them is as political props to explain why you're allowing people to be butchered wholesale in Iran by claiming you're too busy taking your children out for ice cream.

Absolutely ON TARGET, North Dallas Thirty.
Go SARAH 2012.
And this "blogger"...she definitely has a blogger face!!! [did I actually write that???]

Conor (with one N)- Are you going to write a column on how dastardly the Democrats are about this? Or no? I'm betting no.

Why, stupid rants are a tough thing to master Bateman, and you've done it all by your lonesome. Keep pounding away, lad!
Rob, Dallas, Charlotte, with ya. The more hysterical the anti-Palin shriek, the stronger Sarah becomes. Better, the more support she'll have from the base to clean-up Washington. I believe the Left are afraid of her and that their fear is entirely rational. They've left a huge f^&king mess to be un-done. We've let the cancer of big-government liberalism progress too far. I'm ready for some roll-back...
"Go SARAH 2012."

Sorry, Limbaugh already has taken out the patent on that.

Hey Deej, I'm trying to get banned here. I figure enough sicko puns and repulsive metaphors and Dan will pull the plug.

You have a ways to go, Ran. But what does it say about master Bateman that he prefers that wooly mammoth over a Caribou Barbie?
Hell, everytime I hear "caribou barbie" I think about Palin in a fur parka and nothing else. What's so bad about that?

[sweat dripping from temples] Er, Todd, apparently, is not to be trifled-with? Can you spell "field dress moose"?

I'll pass, Ran. Now if Sarah wants to "field dress my moose", that might be a different matter! ha ha

'Caribu Barbie trots out her family for political gain every chance she gets and her supporters express such pearl-clutching shock and outrage that anyone dare say anything."
Wow, that has to be one of the most incoherent sentences I've ever read ! By "anyone dare say anything" is Pathick saying that it's okay to mock a Down's Syndrome baby just because the baby's mother is a conservative ? How brave these liberal bloggers are..."speaking truth to power" by photo-shoppping an innocent baby.

Why do people keep attacking Palin for having her children with her on the campaign trail? Didn't Obama do the same thing? Don't we all get sick to our stomach every time we hear about the kids and the dog? But no one criticizes them. Imagine if someone were to take the Obama family and put the faces of his political cronies on them, then the outrage would come out. But let's attack Palin's family, that is okay since she is a republican woman. This simple minded blogger went over the line of decency. She could have made her point in another way. And those that say Palin is thin skinned and others have been attacked just the same way, she was not attacked, it was her child. Blogger was absolutely 150% wrong. Not an issue of 1st amendment rights, it is about her intelligence to post such an offensive blog.
