If this was a picture of Obama holding his child, with a Teleprompter pasted on the child's head, Sanrene would be LOL'ing it up with a new TOTUS thread.
This made me laugh. Good one.

I find it funny that they ones defending this are in another thread throwing a fit saying that Fox messed with some adults pictures. So adults are fine to mess with but a special needs child is ok

Apples and Oranges Jadex. The blog photo is an editorial.
Fox skewed news, all the while claiming they are fair and balanced..

Once again it is being done to a special needs child. Somethings should be off limits.

I would think that the peace loving liberals would be sticking up for a special needs child.

Fox news didnt put an R by his name right away but fixed it. Other news sources didnt put a d by democrat names. we can go tit for tat.

Liberals show your peace loving side and defend a special needs child.

I doubt he'd appreciate you calling his face a vile distortion, though I do agree he isn't all that palatable.
They transposed Burkes face over a picture of Palins Baby. its palins baby with a transposed face. Thety are again going after the children of Palin. You thinks it funny to make fun of severe needs kids by doing this?

So..how much of a fool do you feel like now?

The referred link is to my post with the first pic.
It doesn't have to have a "stamp" to be copyrighted. Are you completely out of touch, or just missing a few parts that count? I don't feel like a fool at all, and have no reason to do so. You on the other hand, are a real piece of work.

And the fact that you posted it twice , with or without the "stamp" doesn't make me a fool, it makes you a lawbreaker.

Vile! Putrid! Hogwash! Gobsmacked!

LMAO!

It's just more poor taste. I'm not sure if it was an attack on Trig moreso than an attack on the Palin/Burk issue.

That being said, this is almost like the NY Post cartoon that showed police officers shooting a monkey (when Travis the monkey nearly killed that woman earlier this year) while saying "they'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill". How many of you thought this was poor taste as well?

That's what the poster was commenting on. Comprehension not your strong suit?

The only thing I can say is that Palin brought much of this on herself and I am not surprised at the result. Shame, that.

What did she do to bring on someone changing her picture of her holding her special needs child? I'd like to hear this
My apologies. I didn't realize my post would be taken that way. Not at all what I was talking about. My meaning was more generic, not specific to this picture.

That said the recurrence of the phrase "special needs" in these posts is irrelevant to the point. The continued hammering on this aside only serves to sidestep the real issue; something that those who continually beat that drum are trying fervently to do. I'm sure that if the baby was not a specials needs child there would simply be a different drum to pound upon. This one is easily at hand.

I personally do not appreciate the picture. My distaste has nothing to do with special needs children.
