Redstate Crosses the Line: Implies Incest in Attack on Levi Johnston
Politics Daily —
... In what appears to be a warning to any who would oppose GOP superstar Sarah Palin, the Managing Editor of Redstate.com has launched an all-out attack on Levi Johnston: ...
The Palins, The Johnstons, And Republican Class Politics
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... Palin's entire candidacy degenerated in the end into an accusation that the pointy-headed liberal elites regarded the Palins as "white trash"; and now Levi, Mercede and Sherry Johnston's accusation is that the Palins regard them as "white trash". In the midst of this flammable dumpster, Erick Erickson, following the party line that Sarah Palin is a misunderstood genius victimized by the "left", throws a match: ...
In which I unintentionally reveal my private thoughts regarding the Republican party to the world.

... . That's the typical legal status of an implication of incest. And, judging from the content of the post, I'd say that Johnson has a decent shot of satisfying an actual malice standard.

Not exactly the image Tyra Banks and he ...

... RedState's Erick Erickson seems pretty worked up about attacks being levied at Sarah Palin through her daughter, Bristol, and Bristol's former paramour, Levi Johnston, and to a certain extent, I sympathize with the point of view. I feel that had Bristol and Levi not gotten caught in the fish-eye lens of Presidential politics, theirs would have likely been just another typical teenage tale. I think that's why, for example, the recent news that a website named ...
Hands steadily purexed, but never quite clean

Purity. That has been the response by a number of Republicans to Sen. McCain's defeat by President Obama: focus on ideological purity. And how is it going? Well, it has cost us the Senate. We spend a lot of time defending a failed Vice Presidential candidate. Sen. DeMint proclaims "I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don't have a set of beliefs," so that the Republican party can be ...
