I agree with you, Miborn! It also should follow that the parents make the children a little more anonymous.

I highly doubt that anyone cheered over a child being shot pleeze unless it is by the left.
In case you can't figure it out - I agree with you.

I just happen to think that attacking Michelle's looks is nearly as stupid and vindictive as blaming Piper for her mom's deeds.

I think most of the criticism has been about her mother. Frankly, while I think (and posted) that moms tend to be d***** if we do and if we don't, I think some of Sarah's decisions were inappropriate.
Picking on the mother is fine- but picking on Piper for wearing her mother's shoes and criticizing her for answering in her interview with "Yeah" rather than run on sentences like her mother is wrong.

For the 100th time, I'll say that Sarah is a wealth of ammunition to criticize. Nobody needs to resort to making fun of her children.

I'm sure that all the candidates kid's get behind when their parents are on the campaign trail. Who cares? Sounds like the tolerant leftist bunch just can't help but hate someone.

Your boy Obama won; get over it.

Attacking children is simply below contempt. I have lost whatever little respect I might have once had for HuffPost and the Obamabums. It's one thing to slander Palin, and it's a whole other thing to sling mud at her children. Whoever wrote this article is a dirt bag and anyone involved in spreading this is equally guilty.

You should be ashamed.

Yeah, she does. She should scare you too. Someone that dumb, divisive (first speech to the US insulted Community Organizers and anyone not from a small town) and abusive of power being that close to the presidency is a very scary thought. She's clearly a bad mother, her son was known as "The bad boy of Wasilla" and was shipped off to Iraq to "become a man". The next in line got pregnant in HS (probably twice with the DS baby being born while the girl was on a mysterious 6 month leave from school) and dropped out. Now we hear that another child is flunking. Seriously, if she can't even raise her own kids, how can she be a good leader?

Clinton and his wife were quite busy, but Chelsea went to Stanford. Even one of the Bush daughters was a good student at Yale.

I do not disagree. Not everyone who had posted prior to your post criticized the kids.

Except that Piper is a child and Michelle Obama is not. And did you think that it was okay for libs to attack McCain's looks?

All the article does is quote Piper telling Matt Lauer that she missed a lot of school. That is the same thing that was shown on the "Today" show. It might be better to question why Sarah and Todd allowed the "Today" show into their house with cameras, to interview them and their children.
