Not meaning to speak for another poster but I viewed this as an example of the biased way in which the MSM reports. A fact which many people (including some LieStoppers) became painfully aware of during the Duke Hoax. |

We all understand Politics is dirty business, but children have and always should be off limits. The DNC Operatives, make no mistake, are behind this. What amazes me was Chelsea Clinton was considered off-limits as a woman in her mid twenties working for a Hedge fund while campaigning for her mother. The rules were set up to protect her and keep questions away that dealt with her father's affair. Personally my sense of decorum would prevent me from asking that of a daughter no matter her age, but I have watched in utter astonishment as the Press attack Pain over her 17 year old daughter. I worry abut a future administration which has that power just as I was concerned about any administration Republican or Democratic in the past which abused power. Is Power so precious that anything goes? |

Not a criticism of Biden at all, but rather a poke at the double standard being applied to Ms. Palin. She can't take care of her kids and be a Gov or VP, yet not one word was ever said about Biden being a single Dad with two injured sons, who just lost their mom and sister, yet commuting to Wash every day as a senator. |

How do you feel about the treatment of Palin, her daughter, and Down's syndrome baby by the MSM? The three articles on the front page of the NYT...who would not run articles about Edwards infidelity because it was a personal matter... What's your view? With all respect, what is the "moderate" view of all this? |

I think the criticism is that we are "only interested in debunking Dem and liberal B.S.." Well, we are open to hearing the "other side" of the treatment of Palin and her children. But you need to enlighten us... What is B.S. specifically? As in the Lacrosse case...all we ever asked was state your position and be prepared to defend it. Dropping in to sneer that you are "amused" and criticize is real easy. Articulating in depth is a challenge. Make your point. Correct us. Tell us how a moderate sees this? Add to the Obama achievement thread. We're ready to listen. |

Attacking Palin is one thing - she's put herself out there. Attacking one's child, one's MINOR child, is apalling. And indicative of a sick mind, IMO. Palin is no more in control of her 17 year old senior child, than any other parent. As a step-parent of a child who became pregnant at 16, had her child at 17, and continues to parent, I'm extremely offended by the media. And this is AFTER we had her on birth control. SHE made choices and will live with those choices. Why is it better to have her abort, than deal with the consequences responsibly? As a daughter of a mother who became pregnant at 18, and had me at 19, I'm again, apalled at the media. My mother married my father, and I have another sibling. At least she didn't abort me. Why is it that liberals are much happier if they can condemn someone for being married for 20 years, regardless of when their first child was born (BTW, my last son was born 4 weeks early. Thankfully, he's healthy), condemn a teen girl for owning up to her responsibility, AND marry the father (yet have no problem NOT condemning unwed mothers who are on welfare), condemn a man for a DWI when he's twenty (NOT a smart move, IMO) but make no mention of the comparable durg use of a Democratic candidate at the same age? They can praise a Democratic woman who worked throughout her own child's early years (as a corporate lawyer no less - hardly a 4 day work week) who runs for the presidency, yet are howling about a working mom (whose husband has taken care of the kids all their lives)? The hypocrisy is astounding. And believe me when I say, that the majority of the nation doesn't live in California, or New York. The media and liberals are SOOOO out of touch with the majority of the country.....they wouldn't know moderation if it slapped them in the face. |

The three articles on the front page of the NYT...who would not run articles about Edwards infidelity because it was a personal matter... What's your view? With all respect, what is the "moderate" view of all this?[/quote]Edwards affair involved all adults(except for Edwards baby that he continues to deny), consisted of a massive coverup involving hundreds of thousands of $, maybe a mil., the hiring of a incompetant campaign worker he was already sleeping with, propable misuse of campaign funds and tax fraud, ensnaring numerous people, including his wife, in a fraud upon the voters, flying Rielle and the kid to St Croix to hide them.....and yet the mainstream media said this was a personal matter and refused to report or investigate. The Palin matter involves two minors who got pregnant. period. No crimes, no coverup, no hiding in st croix, no campaign $, yet the NYT is all over it. Don't these minors have some right of privacy? How can you justify this? |

Soobs and Teddy Bear...great posts! When people stop in to criticize, courtesy would seem require explanation. Just what would be a "moderate" ..."appropriate to Duke09Parent" response? And if 09 can't articulate it or explain it...then IMO the criticism has no merit. This is the "because I said so" response. |

That is a big one with me. I have an article coming out tomorrow on Lew Rockwell's page on Palin and the Beltway pundits. As every Blog Hooligan knows, I am not a Republican (or Democrat), but at the same time we need to understand that the really nasty side of the "elites" is coming out here. The left claims to love working people in the way that the Bolsheviks "loved" the "proletariat." They loved them in the abstract, not in the real world. The basic story I am getting from the NY Slimes is that Palin is a rube, someone who might be privileged enough to clean toilets at the NY Slimes building, but not much more than that. Now, if she were a Democrat who had aborted her Downs child and were using her daughter's pregnancy to shill for more teenage birth control, then she would be seen as a "brave" woman with a real future in feminism. Pandagon and Daily Kos would claim that going after her children was "off the table," just in the way they protected John Edwards.

If the criticism is...we need more people debunking the Republican B.S....come on in. Most of us truly love to debate. We'd love to have that perspective here. It's welcome. But we will counter and continue to post our thoughts. I posted an "Obama Achievement Thread"...have at it! In all seriousness, if you have information, a viewpoint...post it. What would be the correct "moderate" approach to the MSM treatment of Palin's two children? |

Agree, agree! These are great posts, well thought out and expressed. I believe Palin relates to far more Americans than the Dems want to let on. She has struck a nerve in the party in addition to sheer fear. |

As one of them, I know for a fact that there are millions in CA who get it. It's the SF Bay Area and parts of L.A. that don't get it. It's all a numbers game. CA is made up of about 45% "middle America" types and 55% leftwing moonbats. In a population of 36,000,000, that's a lot of moonbats. They have ruled the legislature and state government for years and have run this once magnificent state into the ground such that many parts of it resemble third-world shitholes and war zones. |

I think it was Bob Ashley who had the "moderate" approach to the Duke Frame. The young men should welcome the opportunity to stand trial..so they may "Prove their innocence." Something like that...wasn't it? |
