As I stated before Palin's announcement, the reasons for looking into who Trig's parent is were justifiable. Feel like eating some crow, Carl?

As I stated before Palin’s announcement, the reasons for looking into who Trig’s parent is were justifiable.

At least a conservatively raised girl, you all probably raise your children to make sure that they take some good orgy pictures of themselves before they lose their girlish figure. Obama is going to go from Presidential hopeful to not-a-chance-in-hell if he doesn't disown you people and fast.

While they think it perfectly rational to imply that Obama is NOT an American Citizen (no matter that his mother indisputedly was, and that McCain himself was born outside the US), or to imply that because Obama's father family , people that Obama never knew growing up, are Muslim that somehow Obama is too, all the way to the "Whitey Tape" that the extreme right wing were confident would come out this Fall to bring down both Obamas, now these same people are going apeshit over the possibilty, based on what I think is fairly strong circumstantial evidence, that Palin's last child is actually her grandson. On the other hand, I personally have posted about this story once on a forum I frequent once, and I am done with it unless something concrete comes out. Of course this is more than the Right who gleefully harped on John Edward's unfortunate affair were willing to do, the Edwards affair dominanted the Right wing blogs for weeks, even though Edwards was not a Candidate for political office at that point; of course, as in the Clinton case, they covered their asses by saying that it wasn't the purient content of these stories that mattered , but rather it was the "dishonesty," (not to mention the complicity they saw in the MSM to cover up the story) well I am saying it in this case as well, IF that baby is Palin's grandchild, then the hypocrisy of her extreme positions is thrown into sharp relief. On the other hand, a rumor such as this is par for American Politics going all the way back to Jefferson who, it was whispered during his campaign for POTUS, fathered children with his slave Sally Hemmings. Is it right or fair? Probably not, yet both sides (the Right more than the Left as we have seen in recent years) do it for Political advantage; no matter how "Progressive" America seems on social issues, we are always straining against our Puritan origins.
