Yesterday we showed how the Daily Kos allowed their writers to create lies and falsify dates of photos in order to malign Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter, Bristol by claiming she was the mother of newly born Trig Palin.
Come to find out, the Kossacks went off half cocked with half the story and added a few lies. Bristol is pregnant now and she is expected to marry the father, she is not Trig's mother as was already proven yesterday.
The pathetic lie about Trig was egged on by Andrew Sullivan over at Atlantic.com. (Will not link to the pathetic idiot)
Today I see people calling for a boycott of Sullivan as well as another DailyKos writer offering further debunking of the the original Kos slandered and saying:
"OK, there is a visibly-pregnant Sarah Palin talking with a CBS 11 (
Unless someone has counter evidence, we can drop this crap now. Yes, there are still some interesting questions, such as why she flew to Dallas and back when she was this pregnant, and why the Alaska Airlines crewmembers insisted that she was not visibly pregnant on the flight. Nevertheless, until this photo is debunked, we look stupid pushing this rumor.
That is all.
Topping it off, to show how insane they were for accusing the girl of being the real mother of Trig Palin, news comes out that Palin's daughter is, indeed, pregnant NOW, which accounts for the recent pictures and completely debunks the lie that Trig was somehow born to the 17 year old and Sarah Palin faked her own birthing of the baby.
Reports say Bristol Palin will be marrying the father of the child she is carrying now.
This report was shown on Fox News and I will provide a link as soon as one becomes available. "Headline under breaking news is "McCain VP Pick Sarah Palin Says Teenage Daughter Is Pregnant."
Good for Sarah Palin for getting out in front of this, telling the truth about an intensely private issue and debunking the idiocy from Daily Kos.
Reuters report here.. more to come as links become available.
Sarah Palin and Husband Todd's statement, via Hot Air:
More from The New York Post.“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.
“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”
Via Hot Air, we see the evangelical right is rallying behind Sarah Palin.
ABC News brings Dr. James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family, statement issued:
"In the 32-year history of Focus on the Family, we have offered prayer, counseling and resource assistance to tens of thousands of parents and children in the same situation the Palins are now facing. We have always encouraged the parents to love and support their children and always advised the girls to see their pregnancies through, even though there will of course be challenges along the way. That is what the Palins are doing, and they should be commended once again for not just talking about their pro-life and pro-family values, but living them out even in the midst of trying circumstances.
"Being a Christian does not mean you're perfect. Nor does it mean your children are perfect. But it does mean there is forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord. I've been the beneficiary of that forgiveness and restoration in my own life countless times, as I'm sure the Palins have.
"The media are already trying to spin this as evidence Gov. Palin is a 'hypocrite,' but all it really means is that she and her family are human. They are in my prayers and those of millions of Americans."
David Brody of CBN
OK so now we find out that Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter is five months pregnant. I’m sure lots of people will take their shots at the pro-life Christian woman but hold on a moment. If you think Evangelicals are going to ditch her for this, you’re totally misreading the situation. As a matter of fact, they are ready to fire back at any potential critics.
My analysis in a moment but first here’s some instant reaction by top Evangelical leader Dr. Richard Land, President of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission
“This is the pro-life choice. The fact that people will criticize her for this shows the astounding extent to which the secular critics of the pro-life movement just don’t get it. Those who criticize the Palin family don’t understand that we don’t see babies as a punishment but as a blessing. Barack Obama said that if one of his daughters made a mistake and got pregnant out of wedlock he wouldn’t want her to be punished with a child. Pro lifers don’t see a child as punishment.”
This is a lose/lose situation for the left and they should take their cue from Obama here who calls this line of attack is "off limits."
When asked to respond to Sarah Palin’s announcement today that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, Barack Obama sternly said the story is irrelevant to the presidential campaign.
“I think peoples families are off limits and people's children are especially off limits.”
Obama addressed the press after he attended a Labor Day picnic here. Although he intended to give a statement on Hurricane Gustav, Obama was quickly asked about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy.
“My mother had me when she was 18 years old,” Obama said, adding that families should deal with these issues privately. “That shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off limits.”
