I was thinking about Chelsea Clinton. I have a feeling many of those currently crying FOUL were guilty of making jokes about Chelsea. Probably got a big yuk-yuk about it as they stood around their pick-ups adorned with mudflaps depicting an overly-endowed woman silhouette in shiny chrome.
How must that have felt to a pre-teen/teenage girl? Would you want someone to hurt your daughter like that? ![]() A great man once called it "selective outrage." ![]() edit: no it's not right in any case. It happens. My point is the selective outrage. Just like Palin, it only upsets you if by yelling you seem righteous and good, and your feigned anger propels your agenda.

As I stated, it was to point out the duplicity. I am glad you now see it.

The post you were responding to was about McCain, and said nothing about his parenting skills or whether he should have been a politician. So no, you were pointing out no duplicity or hypocracy.

Does anyone here really think Palin has or should have a shot in hell at ever getting elected? The best I can come up with is that the left would love to have her on the ticket, cuz then whoever is on the other side is a shoo-in.
ETA - and rightfully so. (no pun intended)

And yet.... When a Fox TV show (Family Guy) - a hyper-satirical show - makes a cheap joke about someone with Down Syndrome, her response is: Quote:

Other than that, it was about a main character falling in love with a girl with downs syndrome. But Palin being Palin, that cunt is open for anything that will keep her name in the news and anger her tea baggers.

The episode (which, yes, I have actually seen) was actually an example of equal, non-discriminatory treatment in its purest form--just not the "warm and fuzzy" kind people like to see. The Down's Syndrome girl was portrayed as the opposite of the usual Down's stereotype, therefore showing that people of all kinds are unique beyond their "classification" and have their own personality and character.
I have tried, but I don't remember Palin being mentioned at all.
