Dirty politics of smearing pregnant girl Posted on September 2nd
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Have American presidential politics become so hateful that a pregnant 17-year-old girl has to have the intimate details of her life exposed to the nation by character assassins?
Ask the left-wing Internet haters, the anonymous propagandists who call themselves bloggers on the Daily Kos.
And ask Bristol Palin, who didn’t deserve it, and was a victim of the rumor-mongers consumed with attacking her mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican running mate of Sen. John McCain, because the mother is a conservative and opposes abortion.
The Internet rumors claimed that Sarah’s baby, Trig, born four months ago with Down syndrome, wasn’t really hers but her daughter’s. They plucked some photos from the Internet, photos out of sequence, to make it appear as though Gov. Palin hadn’t been pregnant, proving once again that on the Internet, the casualties are credibility and civility. Reading it, you could almost hear the saliva dripping from their teeth as they typed anonymously.
