As Promised: CNN's John Roberts Immediately Frets That Sarah Palin Won't Be Able to Care for Baby Trig if She's Vice President
Ace of Spades HQ — As Promised: CNN's John Roberts Immediately Frets That Sarah Palin Won't Be Able to Care for Baby Trig if She's Vice President Gee, I thought that mothers could do it all. Apparently that rule only applies to Democrats. Democratic mothers are Wonder Women. Republican mothers are, as we prefer them, best kept barefoot and pregnant and chained to an oven. John Roberts' concern over poor baby Trig is truly poignant, though. He's obviously all heart. Thanks for that original tip (which I passed to Newsbusters) to Jen, via AQ.

CNN: Hey, won’t Palin be neglecting her Down’s syndrome baby?
Hot Air » Top Picks — ... This is phase one. Phase two will be, “Wouldn’t a strong, responsible, authentic feminist woman have aborted it?” Man, I’m downright giddy at the thought of where the next eight weeks are going to take us. Ace helpfully offers the left a new campaign slogan . Exit question: Sure, Palin’s running for VP while raising a family of five that includes a special needs baby, but has she “walked through fire” the way Hillary Clinton has? Click the image to watch.

Amanda Carpenter: CNN's Roberts Thinks VP Palin Would Neglect Disabled Child
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Big H/T to Newsbusters for catching CNN's John Roberts speculating if Sarah Palin's Down's Syndrome baby may disqualify her from becoming vice president. The transcript is stunningly offensive. Here is is below, emphasis mine. JOHN ROBERTS: You know, there's one other issue -- we've talked about her experience and what depth of experience she has; the fact that maybe she tries to peel off a few women voters on the Democratic side, who really wanted to see a woman in the White House in some way, shape, or form. There's also this issue that on April 18th, she gave birth to a ...

Obama Can’t Be A Good Father While President
Pirate's Cove — ... Yes, it is a dumb, insulting, disgusting argument. But, it is almost the reverse of what many on the left are saying about Sarah Palin, ie, how can she have the time to take care of a young baby with Downs Syndrome while performing the job of Vice President. John Roberts of CNN was one of the first of the idiots to make the suggestion, and now the talking points are making the rounds from the Nutosphere. Along with saying she should have had an abortion, in the grand old tradition of Adolph Hitler, Paul Ehrlich, and Margaret Sanger. ...

Obama Can’t Be A Good Father While President
Stop The ACLU — ... their children in to such a position? How can they leave those kids without the love and guidance that only a parent can give? Will they just dump their kids into the type of child care system that Obama wants to pass? For SHAME! Yes, it is a dumb, insulting, disgusting argument. But, it is almost the reverse of what many on the left are saying about Sarah Palin, ie, how can she have the time to take care of a young baby with Downs Syndrome while performing the job of Vice President. John Roberts of CNN was one of the first of the idiots to make the suggestion, and now the ...

Blogtalk: All About Palin
The Caucus — ... life or even lack of political experience — she’s simply too compelling of a figure. Indeed, Ms. Palin’s “child with a disability,” Trig Paxson Van, is already becoming an issue. There was outcry from bloggers on both the left and right about a question from CNN’s John Roberts to Dana Bash, a political reporter for the network about the infant, who was born in April. “Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention,” Mr. Roberts said, according to a transcript from NewsBusters , which acts as a media watchdog from the right. “The role of Vice President, it ...

Carol Platt Liebau: The MSM's Biased Hypocrisy on Palin
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — ... . And last week on CNN, Newbusters flagged a remarkable commentary by John Roberts, suggesting that Governor Palin's service might adversely impact her youngest child . If longtime social traditionalists had raised these concerns about a liberal woman, they'd have been shouted down, ridiculed and completely marginalized. Since at least the '70's, we've been told again and again that it's unfair to consider a woman's children in considerations about who is the most qualified for any particular professional position. People of good faith can debate whether this is a good thing. ...
