re: #115 CuriousLurker

I agree that worse things have been said about Obama and his family but the difference is of degree not of kind. Most of the worst are in blog comments or on extremist’s blogs.

What puzzles me about this event is: Palin posts a picture of her son standing on a dog and multiple British newspapers headline it, each with hundreds of comments with comments having hundreds of up-dings and down-dings.

It’s earned or contributed to two posts here so far.

I a not complaining about it. That would be as useful as post 245 on bla.foo.uk.

I’m trying to understand why this person (Palin) gets this level of attention for a relativly benign action. In terms of the wingnuttery of her philosophy there are many others farther to the right, some who are elected officals.

I’m trying to understand why an 18 year old Canadian would say “She’s a frigging nutcase.” when her name came up.

I asked the question here because if I asked on a right wing blog the answer would be something along the line of “Because lefties are all stoopid h8rs” I realize now that i’d have no more luck here.

I apologize for not googling the proper spelling of Debbie’s name… my own fault you used it to suggest I’m an anti-semite. I included her as an example of someone I saw recently slagged with a crude and offensive comment elsewhere.
