Ah, just me and Miborn clicking away

I certainly hope you have never slurred a candidates child.....but it is odd that you are so determined to defend those that do and have.

I wasn't the poster who equated treatment of Barack Obama the Democratic POTUS nominee with Palins underaged children, one of whom is a child with down syndrome.

I was the poster, however, who did point out that perhaps Obama could defend himself against slurs whereas a child (specifically one with down syndrome) probably could not.

You're good at taking others posts out of context, but whatever tickles your fancy.

I did ask a question once about Obamas devotion to a man who abandoned not only him but apparently a lot of his children as well. I wondered because my dhs father was the same way, only my dh has no respect for his 'dad'.
I also questioned some posters who were painting Obamas mother as a wonderful mother. I disagree with that, not to be mean to Obama but because I don't think trying to whitewash an absentee parent is in the best interest of society.
(sigh) I disagree heartedly with people who drag a candidates family through the mud. Especially when it is done with glee. It is one thing to discuss rationally an aspect of a candidates life (mccain leaving his first wife -- completely classless imho) and quite another to tear down the candidates family (going over Cindy Mccains drug addiction). Palins church and religous beliefs needed to be explored, the maternity of her son did not. Do you see?
Why was it ok for you to question anything about Obama's parents and it was classless to discuss McCains first wife and his current wife? Sorry for my obtuseness but I don't see any difference there except the political party. And as for Palin's church and religious beliefs, they have as much relevance as Obama's. Do you see?

I could care less who Trig's biological mother is and never engaged in conversation about that.

It is OK for me to question aspects of Obamas upbringing and it is OK to question Mccain leaving his first wife. It is also OK to question Palins church and her personal beliefs such as the rapture that could put our country in harms way. It is also Ok to question Obamas church and his beliefs as they pertained to whites.
Do you see?

Palins children have and had no business being discussed. Neither does Obamas children. Mccains wife had no business being talked about as a crack ***** since she is in recovery and has been for what, 15 years? Obamas wife similiarly should never have been talked about whether it was her thesis or her looks.
Do you see?
This is not about payback, this is about decency.

Oh, and when I said

(mccain leaving his first wife -- completely classless imho)

I meant that Mccain leaving his first wife, especially in the way that he did it was classless...not that questioning it was classless.

You were the one who took an opportunity to insult both Obama and the mentally handicapped by posting,

So what you're saying is everything is up for grabs except the children. I see.

We have different definitions for decency.

I never said all the "lefties" (your word, not mine) were arseholes. Go back and read my post again.
