The link takes you to an absolutely disgusting post on DU today in which a poster puts up an Ebay auction page for Trig Palin.

sick people. This is terrible. Good Lord. First they threaten riots when everyone knows the Inner city doesn't have the ability to riot. Who is going to riot the black Middle class lol it isn't going to happen folks not enough men in the ghetto to riot. Next time tell the Obots that. Also call them racist because that is very racist. I am going to say this one more time and hope someone listens the Ghettos do not have any men you cannot riot when all you have left is a bunch of women. It isn't going to happen.

You and me both. It pretty apparent they are beginning to get desparate.

Reading the comments at little green footballs quite a few think it is a fake ad.

This election has simply shown how low people will go. As a person with a brother who is special needs, I can't even describe how incredibly hateful Obama supporters are. I'm almost beyond the point of being shocked at how low Obama supporters go. However, this story still proves that point - ALMOST.

Photoshopped or not, to the average American who's not part of the DU stuff, this is *way* over the top. To the immature person who posted it, I'm sure it was funny, but, it's not. The original article linked to with the comments about McGovern's follower is looking pretty valid right now.

To someone like me who's got a special needs child (Asperger's), this is really insensitive, and really a nasty personal attack on Sarah Palin and her family, especially the way it insinuates she used Trig as a 'prop'.

A slip or two like this from Obama's supporters that make it to the print or TV media will bring an avalanche down on them. There are lines you shouldn't cross, and I don't think even Rove would have done this.

I forgot that I have been emailing back and forth with one of the journalist for Newsbusters site, so I sent him an email. He's pretty quick about responding so I'll update you when I hear from him.

Also, he asked me to send him anything we find on the web that displays the media's hypocrisy so if anyone comes across anything let me know.

Cross your fingers.

Exclamation National Down Syndrome Society

THis is beyond disgusting. I had 3 emails tonight... one from "Joe Biden", one from "Barack Obama" and one from "David Pflouffe" all telling me how awful the Republicans were at the convention, and how they attacked the little people of the world. They all 3 asked for donations.

I sent back a very pointed email telling them that as far as I was concerned there was only one candidate in the Presidential race, and that was John McCain. As an animal lover I wouldn't consider voting for Obama for dog catcher.. that would be a horrible fate for animals. Suggested he go back to community organizing. As a person who has a Down's child in the family, I assured them that crap like this sent at least 20 votes in my family to McCain.

Additionally... I sent a link to this web page AND the link to the Dem Underground to the National Down Syndrome Society. I wonder how their members will feel about this? I urge you to contact local Down Syndrome Support groups in your area!

Yeah, I've got it on my hard drive. Rescued from the same place. I've been thinking about linking to Jeff's bumper stickers for here, too. Think anyone would like them?

This place has a bit higher signal-to-noise ratio than FR. I like it. I'm a bit more of a centrist anyway. The fanatics get a little shrill over there some days. I do like Jeff's write-up on Sarah, though, and those bumper stickers!

Whether it's real or fake it's disgusting and not funny. You wonder what sort of mother and father raised such a lamebrain as this to find this amusing in any way, shape or form!!!

That listing is phony, it never existed on Ebay. That's not to say the concept is disgusting but here is the offending image and real Ebay listing. Notice the phony has no item number, seller id, location. also Ebay doesn't give a list of a seller's other items like that.

Yes. I'm not exactly a long-time FR person, though. About 5 months, maybe. Found this on a link to here, actually, and started lurking, and later registered so I could post. Good stuff.

Is this the kind of people that Obama attracts? They used this to say that Sarah Palin is a bad mother, but what did they gain by showing everybody how pathetic they are? They used this baby for laughs. They used this baby to spread hatred. They are the ones that Obama has been waiting for!

I don't care if it is a fake. That is not the point. If someone photoshopped this, it still reveals them as a twisted, sick bottom feeder. If they can do something like this, Do you realize the lengths that some people are willing to go to get Obama elected? Yes they can!

I can imagine how Sarah Palin will feel about seeing something like this. I have walked in those shoes with my kids before. I have a disabled son. It is hard to be the better person and I know that Sarah will pass this test too. She will rise above these attacts and I will admire her even more.

Hey! Sarah! Put another notch in your lipstick case!

On another message board after a screed against Palin, one poster a bit more objective said: 'She has you spooked, doesn't she?'

They were quiet for about 5 minutes then began again.

Yes. These 'followers' are behaving very similar to terrorists. If we refuse to bow to BO, we are being terrorized or receive threats of terrorism. Terrorist groups use smear tactics as well as propaganda. We are experiencing identical tactics by radical followers of BO. Oddly, BO has yet to condemn them.

Is that hokey?
No, that isn't hokey at all, it's a great idea. Make sure the ad says it is this forum doing it. I am still reading all over the internet that there is, absolutely, NO evidence that any Hillary supporters have crossed over to McCain-Palin. Their deceit is so disturbing.
