Does this mean we can start using Onion links for evidence now?

And it looks like it will cost them, rightly so.

Weigel : Boycotting Wonkette [UPDATE: Probation]

Seems the editor of wonk has put the guy on "probation", whatever that means.

In any case, Jack has been admonished and put on night probation until further notice.
Probably gave him a bronze plaque for his office door.

Papa Johns dropping them.

Greatest Living American: A Children’s Treasury of Trig Crap On His Birthday
Today is the day we come together to celebrate the snowbilly grifter’s magical journey from Texas to Alaska to deliver to the America the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin. Is Palin his true mother? Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.)

This morning, Team Sarah posted a happy-birthday message at the exact time of his birth. This is a poem "Lynda" wrote for Trig: [poem cut]

What's he dreaming about? Nothing. He's retarded.

In other lefty retarded news, their gay-icon-tolerance-heroine Lady Gaga recently said "it's retarded" that she's called a Madonna knock-off.

Because in actuality she's a one-of-a-kind original, right? Mmm hmm.

And so the hypocrisy of politically correct liberalism continues to be exposed.

That's just retarded.

This quote is pretty disgusting. Almost as disgusting as Letterman's joke about A-Rod molesting Palin's 14 year old daughter.

Uh oh, two more have dropped this vile website;

Papa Johns, Huggies, Vanguard Drop Ads on Blog Attacking Trig Palin | LifeNews.com

Papa Johns, Huggies, Vanguard Drop Ads on Blog Attacking Trig Palin

Doesn't the Left realize that "normal" people find this kind of stuff offensive and vile?

I guess they still don't understand people that approve of this kind of hate are just part of the fringe, fringe of society.

You've rendered your post moot since you obviously didn't read the offensive quote. Read it now, and then tell me with a straight face that they weren't explicitly mocking a cognitively disabled child because the child belongs to Palin.

On top of that, they inferred that if Trig was secretly Bristol's son then the father of that baby is her own father! WTF?

Do you find this kind of discourse civil and enlightening? I don't care if it's only a gossip blog, they went too far. Anybody who thinks mocking a handicapped child is okay has completely lost all sense of what's right and what's wrong.

Rally for Sanity. Anybody remember that?

Insinuating Todd is the father by raping his daughter - there are really no words for these people.

So, let’s joke about incest and the disabled. This is the kind of stuff that makes birthers look sane. And then there is the implication that Sarah Palin caused her child to be born with Down Syndrome.
The hate the Left holds for Palin is truly amazing to witness.
