Carol Platt Liebau: Bristol Palin is Pregnant
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Todd and Sarah Palin have revealed that their 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant. The statement reported that Bristol intends to keep the baby and marry the baby's father. I admire all the Palins' willingness to be forthright about the pregnancy, their pro-life convictions even when they entail personal pain or embarrassment, and their understanding that babies need and deserve to have a father and a mother who are committed to each other in marriage. Although, for obvious reasons, this is news that no parents welcome from a 17 year old, it is reassuring to know that, unlike another candidate on the national ticket, Governor and Mr. Palin obviously don't feel that ...

Hugh Hewitt: The Descent of the Left and the MSM
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — This Reuters story caps off 72 hours of shame for the leftosphere and their pals in the MSM who trafficked in wretched rumor about Sarah Palin and her family. This led to the breach in the family's private life, and to an extent that should appal everyone. The children of candidates and officials should be off limits, even if the nutters declare they are not. I even understood the MSM's reluctance to pursue the Edwards story because of the impact on Edwards' family. I applaud the Palin for their candor and their decision to be compleletly transparent with the public, and expect the vast majority of decent Americans of all political stripes will respect their wish to keep the young ...

How to Cover Pregnancy Contoversies, MSM-style
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — I think I've got it now. These are the MSM rules when dealing with the personal lives of national candidates and/or members of their family: Given the chance to publicly embarrass and humiliate a Republican candidate's 17 year old daughter, do it.  If it's a moralizing former Democratic candidate for president, well, leave that to the National Enquirer. Today, to head off the many tawdry rumors being passed back and forth between the Daily Kos diarists and their plagiarists in the MSM, the McCain camp announced that Governor Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant. We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with ...

Ankle Biting Pundits — Some of the bloggers over at the Daily Kos started a rumor that GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin “faked” the pregnancy of their 5th child, Trig, because it was really her daughter’s baby and she wanetd to “cover it up”.  In rebutting this horrid rumor, the Palins issued a statement that Trig is their child, and that their 17 year old daughter is pregnant. She is going to keep the child and marry the father. “We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,” the Palins’ statement said. “Our beautiful daughter ...

The Palin fake-pregnancy rumors: the latest in a long line of campaign garbage
neo-neocon — ... And now the Left should be proud—and pleased as punch—that the vitriol of many of its members has managed to out a 17-year-old’s unwed pregnancy and imminent marriage, the news of which should have been allowed to emerge in its own sweet time and way. Good work, Kos Kids (and congrats to Andrew Sullivan—to whom I will not link but who actually was once an actual bona fide journalist, although that was long ago and far away). ...

Misogyny Watch: Liberal Bloggers Sink to New Low, Reveal Sarah Palin's Teen-Age Daughter is Pregnant
Tennessee Guerilla Women — Well, kudos to the sexist vampires over at Daily Kos. Thanks to their unwavering efforts to bully and shame and humiliate 17 year old Bristol Palin and her family, Sarah Palin was forced to announce that Bristol is pregnant. We're sure the sexist progressive posers are disappointed that their soap opera fantasy is not true. Bristol is not secretly the mother of her baby brother. But who really cares other than a bunch of twisted low-lifers who imagine that they have a progressive bone in their foul misogyny infested bodies? Thanks to the 'progressive' kossack creeps and their followers, all of Bristol's friends and acquaintances know ...

Hullabaloo — Defying His Mortality by digby I can see that everyone's been vastly engrossed and downright obsessed by all these revelations about Sarah Palin's bad parenting, reproductive decisions, daughter's sex life etc, over the past few days, but I doubt any of that will persuade people to vote against McCain. Indeed, I think the religious right will find the liberal sniping at her personal choices to be galvanizing while everyone else will see it as a lively sideshow, but unimportant in terms of their vote. Anyway, the only people who make a fetish of other people's reproductive choices are social conservatives and they will forgive her anything because she's a ...

9/2: Scrutinizing Sarah
Blogometer — September 02, 2008 9/2: Scrutinizing Sarah As the media continues its feeding frenzy over Sarah Palin , liberal bloggers are engaging in a feeding frenzy of their own. The netroots are buzzing about the recent string of disclosures about Palin and are portraying her as a disastrous VP pick which highlights John McCain 's impulsiveness and poor judgment. Liberal bloggers are devoting particular attention to the revelation that Palin was previously a member of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) , an organization whose "primary goal is [to have] a vote on secession" . Liberal bloggers believe that Palin's membership in this group is very damaging, as the founder ...

Bill Maher: Are we sure Trig is Sarah Palin’s baby? Update: Bill Maher, media critic
Hot Air » Top Picks — Bill Maher: Are we sure Trig is Sarah Palin’s baby? Update: Bill Maher, media critic posted at 2:30 pm on September 6, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Just asking questions, mind you, like those Truthers he once threw off his show . My capacity for outrage at his “used-car salesman speaking truth to power” shtick expired seven months ago but some of you will find this an invigorating mid-afternoon shot of outrage espresso, so I’m happy to play barista. Besides, it’s useful as an insight into just how stupid and/or lazy Maher is. This rumor was convincingly debunked Monday morning and conclusively debunked Monday ...

John McCain's human shield
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — ... Remember, it was McCain who leaked news of Palin's daughter's pregnancy to Reuters. It was McCain who approved of Palin lying about earmarks and the Bridge to Nowhere the first day he introduced her to the public. It is McCain who then had Palin lie about those issues each and every day since. It is McCain who has suddenly become such a sensitive Alan-Alda type of guy that he now sees sexism around every corner (except when he himself berates ...
