Sarah Palin lost her mind when Letterman made that offhand remark about her daughter. As I have wrote about in another thread, it's creepy how much energy she spent chastising Letterman but meanwhile during her time spent on the national stage and through all her speeches we hear NOTHING about how she plans or has worked to help the female and children victims of sexual and domestic abuse in her home state- a state with record high numbers of such abuse.

Palin is tirelessly petty and while it is certainly honorable to defend your family members, her concern for citizens suffering some tragic issues in her own home territory seems to be conspicuously absent from her rhetoric. No, Palin cannot be held responsible for what goes down in every household in AK, but how about we see a strong female politician who tackles these issues head on, brings them to national awareness and garners support for something more than silly perceived insults to her children from sources that routinely insult everyone.
I bet you don't have children do you???

How about no one insulting her children in the first place??? Instead of dogging a parent for protecting and defending (which is their duty) their kid, why don't you go after the idiot scumbag who started it with the insult!!?

I have one daughter.....let some fool make some sexual joke about her while I'm in ear shot......Letterman is an angry partisan old fool! I don't care which daughter it was! The 14 or the 17 year old! To say that a ball player knocked up either one was waaaay outta bounds!!

Hey would you be okay if he said that about the oldest Obama daughter? Would you be like" Barack is over reacting?"

Be consistent at least!

I just wish Todd Palin had requested a private meeting with Letterman. No bodyguards.

Yes everyone was correct about it being bad to raise children in this time period!
Now are children are left with bad climate, bad debt, and inflation!
First of all, aside from the fact you write like a drunken Irishman (now there's a stereotype, genius), Cheney didn't debate Biden did he?

You say #3 is coming soon? Is this Dale Earnhardt returning from the grave?

Children left with bad climate? A righty buying into global warming? Preposterous!

You, sir, make Sarah Palin look intelligent.

Do you always refer to folks with their middle name first? What's your obsession with the "hussein" thing? Really now, make it known.
I find that really irritating too. It is so transparent and childish.

What name did they call Trig?

Asked again, since no one will answer because none of you actually watched the show....

When did they make fun of Trig?

Wow, a smack about President Obama's middle name. how very very original.



If Sarah Palin cared a whit about kids with Down Syndrome, she'd be the spokesperson for them, not a professional victim like she portrays herself to be.

What's the big deal? It's not like a child with down syndrome knows they're being parodied. They don't understand parody or satire.

We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed."
At Team Sarah we believe that every child is indeed created with a purpose and little Trig Palin holds a special and very dear place in our heart.
For those in our society today who would stoop to the level of making fun of a toddler with special needs for cheap laughs and the almighty dollar, they have our pity. Anyone who resorts to comedy "material" of that magnitude is simply to be pitied, as they have forgone their own dignity in order to capture the sort of shock appeal that will pathetically sustain them with the small fraction of society that would find humor in such a thing.
Comedic hacks are nothing new to the entertainment industry. We can ignore them, we can change the channel, we can call them out when we think they've crossed the line.
For us, the bottom line is that Trig is off limits. Period.
Sincerely,
Team Sarah

She must be pretty upset with Limbaugh and his liberal use of the word "retard".
