7. I wish we wouldn't attack her on her children's names.

The names are Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig.

Unusual, even silly. But there are plenty of legitimate issues to attack her on. Leave the kids' names out of it.

8. You are perhaps mistaking my post for an attack on her children. It is not.

It's an attack on the narcissistic idiots who are their parents.

[onenote]

10. well, its a pretty stupid attack.

Trig apparently is a family name, Norse in origin. As for her other kids names, I don't know if they are family-based as well. But I do know that names like Willow and Piper actually are more popular these days (as is Malia) than names like Sharon and Ellen.

Its a silly attack.

13. No, I didn't mistake it for an attack on the children. I specifically said "children's names."

There are a host of legitimate political issues we can use to attack Sarah Palin. There is no need to drag her children's names into it. That just makes our arguments look petty and mean.

12. She's a lifetime member of the NRA. Trig seems to fit. n/t

14. How would DU react if Republicans were making fun of Malia Obama's name?

15. Thank you. Excellent point.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

16. Malia is a beautiful name.

Trig is not.

17. Norwegian -- I know a guy named Trig, from Norway

:hi:

[KittyWampus]

18. I think her kids are actually named for places in Alaska.

[RichardRay]

19. I know two other Trig's, so I guess I don't see it as that unusual n/t
