Palin is playing "Avenging Momma Bear" again...

...and eventually, it's going to wear thin on some folks.

Palin Attacks Blogger For "Malicious Desecration" Of Trig Photo

"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child.

The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling. To learn that two Alaskans did it is absolutely sickening. Linda Kellen Biegel, the official Democrat Party blogger for Alaska, should be ashamed of herself and the Democratic National Committee should be ashamed for promoting this website and encouraging this atrocious behavior.

Babies and children are off limits. It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama Administration sets the moral compass for its party. We ask that special needs children be loved, respected and accepted and that this type of degeneracy be condemned."

It gets REALLY ludicrous once you see the photoshop and understand its context--this clearly had NOTHING to do with making fun of Trig.

BTW, I didn't realize there WAS an "official Democrat Party blogger for Alaska." How do you get that job, anyway?

[merh]

1. I hereby appoint you as the official Democrat Party blogger for New York.

Any other questions?

[Bicoastal]

2. How much does the job pay?

[merh]

4. Officially?

Nothing

Unofficially equals $0.00

By the way, that photo is a bad photoshop - she could have done better with the real eddie burk image

3. Her over-reaction, and growling.. is going to start having people question if she can handle the

heat of the presidency. Yelling wolf one too many times, this one will start to backfire on Mama Bear

[DinahMoeHum]

6. Let's remember that it was a DEMOCRAT who once said. . .

"...if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen..." (Harry Truman)

Hint hint, Mrs. Palin.

8. She's like the Hatfields and McCoys all in one

fight fight fight! enemy enemy enemy!

She's always finding more foes: people on the McCain campaign; David Letterman; Katie Couric; Putin and his mysterious flights over Alaska; mean bloggers. It goes on and on, fed by her insatiable desire to hear her name in the national press. The most dangerous place in the world is the space between Palin and a television camera.

10. You can almost hear the univeral yawn set in .. she has overplayed the game

and is starting to look a little loopy (that is for the right, she was always loopy for us)

5. what kind of presidential hopeful picks fights with bloggers?!?!?!?

[Clio the Leo]

11. the same kind of VP candidate who would pick a fight with the press. NT

[tishaLA]

7. She might want to try governing or something

She is teh massive fail.

12. Ole Sara is going to the well once too often on this "protection" business -

the photo doctoring was poorly done but this photo was obviously chosen for the pose so they could stick this "Burke" person's face in there. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Trigg.

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. That IS the tactic - any attack on HER in any way WILL be twisted

into an attack on her kids.

Like the scene from 'Year One'

"We have a right to choose who stones us. Him!"
"But he's just a kid."
"What, you have something against kids? This guy hates KIDS!"

Works just about as well, too.

[lunatica]

14. I wish she'd make up her mind. What is it?

Pitbull with lipstick, pig with lipstick, or momma bear with lipstick? Whey does she hate animals?!

Here's one she should call herself:

Skanky, ratty skunk.

[ErinBerin84]

15. so this is Obama's fault?

Jeeze.

[Stephanie]

16. She didn't mind dressing Trig up as an elephant during the campaign.

[kath]

17. also, there she goes again with that "Democrat Party" crap...

and the use of the word "desecration" seems a bit weird here.

[Cass]

18. ICONIC?? Are they kidding?

"...an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child."

This woman is a pain in the ass. Doesn't she have some work to do instead of carrying on over nonsense like this. That photoshop obviously was not meant to smear the baby or her love for him. She is a public figure and unfortunately this kind of thing goes with the territory. She needs to grow the hell up and knock off this juvenile shit.

[NatBurner]

19. she's awful sensitive for a politician

i think she should persue a new line of work

[zbdent]

20. first you have to have a Democrat party ...

which doesn't exist ...

[nsd]

21. "Desecration" of an "iconic" image?

Does she think that picture is like Madonna and Child?

[dflprincess]

22. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling"

No, what is appalling is the mother of a special needs child cutting funds to special education (actually, it's appalling that anyone would cut those funds).

She can drop the Mama Bear act.

[Vinca]

23. It's also appalling the mother of a special needs child would use

the poor thing as a prop during a political campaign.

[graywarrior]

24. She loves this.

LOVES LOVES LOVES every minute of it.

[Forkboy]

25. the pic is tacky and stupid and plays right into Palin's grubby hands.

Color me revolutionary, but some people are creative enough to mock others without resorting to making fun of baby with Downs Syndrome. The blogger was an asshat.

[Bicoastal]

26. Earlier today, I found photoshopped pix of Sasha and Malia that are equally offensive...

...moreso, actually. (No, I'm not going to post them.)

But the point is, do you hear Michelle or Barack publicly excoriating some virtually-anonymous asshat conversative blogger? Obviously, Palin's doing it just for the publicity.

[Forkboy]

27. I know Palin is doing it for the publicity, doesn't change anything.

The picture is lazy, uncreative, tacky, and needless. Bringing up pics of Sasha and Malia doesn't excuse anything. Using one thing that's wrong to defend another doesn't make it right. It's great that the Obama's don't flip out (though they don't need the publicity anyways), but it doesn't make this pic any better.
