I decided to try to track down something today that I thought I remembered having been on Palin's Deceptions. Since there haven't been any new postings since August, it shocked me to see the stat counter moving along at a most brisk pace. It's wild out there, so I suppose the thing for citizen bloggers to do is be outspoken and assertive about their efforts when contracts start getting signed. What happens when "Sarah Palin, the Movie" is made? A conundrum to be anticipated--your post is quite prescient. And when you keep in mind all of the pussyfooting and enabling performed by the paid media regarding our coulda-been-VP, this is especially exasperating.nancydrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627105950366472039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-67390852665594644682010-02-22T14:13:55.036-08:002010-02-22T14:13:55.036-08:00My friends and I send each other links to these si...My friends and I send each other links to these sites all the time.

It's on page 396 and page 397:<br />"Then there was the matter of Palin's substantive deficiencies. On September 10, she was preparing to fly back to Alaska to see her son Track ship off to Iraq and to tape her first network interview with ABC News's Charlie Gibson. Before the flight to Anchorage, Schmidt, Wallace, and other members of her traveling party met Palin at the Ritz-Carlton near Reagan airport, in Pentagon City, Virginia - and found that, although she'd made some progress with her memorization and studies, her grasp of rudimentary facts and concepts was minimal. Palin couldn't explain why North and South Korea were separate nations. She didn't know what the Fed did. Asked who attacked America on 9/11, she suggested several times that it was Saddam Hussein. Asked to identify the enemy that her son would be fighting in Iraq, she drew a blank. (Palin's horrified advisers provided her with scripted replies, which she memorized.)" <br /><br />I made the mistake of assuming Sarah knew as much as the average governor, especially since her 80% approval rating made her the most popular governor in America. Nevertheless, today, I can forgive her for her ignorance. That can be fixed. (I walk around in a nearly-blind ignorance. But it's an honest ignorance.) This, however, is unforgivable: <br /><br />"ASKED TO IDENTIFY THE ENEMY THAT HER SON WOULD BE FIGHTING IN IRAQ, SHE DREW A BLANK."<br /><br />The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. If your child was about to be shipped into harm's way, wouldn't you want to know everything? Wouldn't you want to know if there was something, anything, you could do to keep your child safe? Of course you would. That's what mothers do. Unless you're Sarah. Sarah did not give a damn about Track. She didn't even bother to find out who he would be fighting. She didn't care. She was indifferent. And that is fucking unforgivable.Shamelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349535618367366554.post-82646485492952522852010-02-20T09:28:59.644-08:002010-02-20T09:28:59.644-08:00I know as a conservative I'm not supposed to b...I know as a conservative I'm not supposed to be slamming Sarah.

The line simply implied that a character with DS was the child of Sarah Palin, who does in fact have a child with DS in real life. Why do some people see that as cruel? do those people see having a child with DS as something to be ashamed of? do they believe pointing out that someone has a child with DS is a rotten thing to do? the character was a normal person, not some negative stereotypical representation of a DS person.

They paraded her out on stage, and it was almost immediately mentioned that she has a "special needs son who she never even thought of aborting." (the statement has proven to be false by Palin's own comments regarding her struggle with the decision about aborting Trig) But for the GOP to try to give her credit and garner pro life votes for "not considering aborting her child" are ludicrous. Would anyone introduce Obama by saying "he has two daughters that he never considered aborting?" You dont get extra credit for not killing your children,not even in America.

Palin had barely settled in on Sunday night before she had to deal with drafting the statement concerning Bristol's pregnancy. Palin called her daughter in Alaska to tell her the revelation was coming - I love you, she reassured Bristol, you're a good person - then turned to her fledgling team and said, all business, 'Where were we?'"<br /><br />Sarah tells Bristol, a minor child at the time, that she is about to be humiliated in front of the whole world. As soon as the minor problem, Bristol, is "handled," Sarah gets back to the business at hand ("Where were we?") as if nothing happened.
