You would expect a Republican to say something decent?? Now that is funny!

What are you talking about laughing at a political opponents FAMILY?? Nobody mentioned families of any sort. What does having a special needs child enter into it??

The morning zoo jocks said Lila needs "to go" she's a ***** blah blah...

LILA IS A POLITICIAN ADVERSARY OF PALINS. She threatened "to go" because of Palin's popularity.

The were saying yeah, she needs to GO.

Palin can be heard saying "no" quietly during the giggle. That was the end of it. There was no cancer talk. No mention of anything.

The woman apparently had cancer at one time so what? She is a POLITICIAN in the PUBLIC DEBATE.

You people make everyone victims it's the Democrat way.

and you think that because she's a woman she "needs" to act a certain way towards her political adversaries WHY?

I guess you don't watch Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, Jay Leno, Letterman or any other show with politicians going on. They always make a joke about the opponents and the politicians always laugh.

You Democrats are the ultimate condescending whiners. Like OBAMA. Stop making women weak. We can have jobs, be pregnant, have kids, have CANCER, be politicians, be executives and we don't have to be VICTIMS or POLITICALLY CORRECT to suit your twisted way of "acting".

You have double standards for woman than men, that's the biggest joke of all. No wonder Pelosi got nothing done in her time in the Congress. Too busy whining and "acting" like whatever.....
Running with scissors, please read the quote I was responding too. I have noooooooo idea why tinman brought up the special needs child. Laughing about a mother not liking her kids is abou the family. It is incredible to me when anyone dares criticize Palin on an issue, oh stop, but it is ok for her laugh when people are ripping her opponent apart. No, I think she is fair game, huntress turned hunted, etc. I think she will prove if she has the chops or not.

YUP and he will slip because Barry has not seen the true offensive/defensive yet. Unfortunately McCain is limited to the campaign fiinancing dollars versus Barry's rock star unlimited financial pot. (flip flop again?)

And if you go by history, unfortunately, people overpoll for African Americans because they don't want to be perceived racist but don't follow through.

It'll be interesting to see Barry's poll numbers versus the outcome. This race will be like no other and I believe could go any possible way. Landslide OR squeaker. Too many subliminal elements involved.

But being in a swing state I'll be working for landslide.

Really? I know a lot of Repubs. Never met one yet that makes fun of special needs children. So which Repubs do it all the time?
Cancer. I have it. Non-hogkins lymphoma type T non-specific. Never met a rep make fun of my cancer either. Now cancer patients tend to make jokes me included. We joke about the chemo, the side effects etc. I do believe we earned that right. Yes many of the fellow survivors I know also happen to be Repubs and democrats alike. So what.
Come on Kev your better than this we both know it.

Palin Laughs As Opponent Is Called "*****," "Cancer," Mocked For Her Weight (AUDIO)
Hillary didn't give a damn about anything that concerned me or other conservative women...

Let's just say that as humans we have been known to feel better about ourselves by making fun of others...it is an unfortunate fact. Some people have gotten past that behavior, others have not. Let's just say that Sarah Palin had a momentary relapse into immaturity.

Nobody gives a damn about anyone but themselves and their interests, but it's kind of cute how you people are naive enough to think differently.

jfre81 for president. Yeah. I'm the only person I agree with.

If they were friends and it offended her I would expect her to say something. I myself don't make a habit out defending people I don't like. I have on occasion if something said is a blatent lie or is untrue. perhaps the woman in question was in fact a mean spirited woman and the adj fit. It deffinetly would apply to Hillary. Ask any of the many Military personel she used to target when ever she was on the warpath. No one dared wear there uniforms around her. In fact Uniforms were made off limits in the whitehouse while she was there. Kind of reminds of movie a saw where the dog had this phobia about uniforms.
