There is no logic in that. Humans will be humans and any other human having outrage at another human for being human in of itself is is the epitome of hypocritical irregardless of their own self righteousness.
First of all, IRREGARDLESS is not a word!

Second, we're not talking about murder here. Neither Carrie nor Levi has committed a crime. We're talking about a woman who claims to be some moral example, points fingers at gay people, then is exposed (literally) for masturbating on video, posing nude, etc. She's a big hypocrite. This seems to be so typical of the far right evangelicals though.

Levi can pose nude, trash Sarah, do what he wants. He never claimed to be some moral example for the rest of the world. If you cant see the difference in this and murder, then I guess you probably don't understand why "irregardless" isn't a word.

The Palins' are about family values.

They are all working together.
LOL! Did you laugh when you typed this? Sarah's rarely even at home. I guess she had to be home to stage that little video for Oprah where she played like she's involved in her family.

The Palins are about finger pointing, money grubbing, and lying. That's about it.

I don't think you need to be picking apart someone's verbage. That has nothing to do with the topic...

As for your opinion of the far right, you are entitled to it, but you are not correct...

What Levi is doing is unfair to his child if nothing else...what Carrie did or didn't do has nothing to be with Sarah Palin or her family...

usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

Fail. Maybe you should try using the dictionary before you so vehemently expose your ignorance.

The Palins may be the most misunderestimated family in America.

The Palins are rehearsing for an incredulous obnoxious reality show called " The Dumbing down of American Women in Politics".
As a quitter, she's the most unqualified person to run for any public office. If president, at the first crisis she would run off with her tail behind her legs. Her interviews show how wishy washy contradictive she is. Her whiny voice sounds like a teenager arguing with her parents.
Please Palin go away...

Seriously. You need to look a little further into this.

Irregardless is considered sub standard speech. It's a double negative. Adding the prefix "ir" only confuses. (the "less" in regardless already suggests negativity) You'd serve yourself well to eliminate it from your vocabulary. And for good reason professionally. Here's an explanation as to the why from Dictionary.com

Quote:
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

Sorry for the momentary off topic there. If you need a good resource for such things, try the grammar girl. She's a smart one.

Here's her take...

When did Carrie claim to be some moral example? Or is that you making that claim

So because she doesnt agree with gay marriage means she isnt allowed to masturbate? Since when
