Any treatment of Trig is ok; it's satire, ya know. Satire.

  So the hot story tonight is the despicable post over at Wonkette about Trig Palin and the consequent Twitter war which resulted in several advertisers pulling their adverts in response. Hopefully more will pull their money. 
  The editor mocks the 3 year old, calling him a retard, claiming Todd Palin raped his daughter and she's the real mother of the child and not Sarah Palin.
  The final video on the blog posting they get from some dumb Opie show is absolutely vile. (Did I use that adjective already? It was vile.)
  Fun stuff like that. 
  You can read a rundown here at Gateway Pundit. Particularly meaningful is the column Gateway links to at Mediate. 
  Let's get something clear.
  1. The reason liberals feel so inoculated, so free to make incredibly tasteless, racist, sexist and retard jokes is that they feel superior to the rest of the world and everyone should not only know that, but that they don't really mean it. You know, like they threaten to kill you but you're not supposed to ask the police to defend you from them because of course, they didn't really mean to scare you.
  They can set the rules that nobody else can use the word "retard," but liberals use it and call it "satire," especially if they use it against someone they hate like Palin or Bush.
  We make the rules. You follow them. We violate our own rules but it's okay. We're good people.
  2. Liberals like the Wonkette editor feel free to mock "retards" because they are strong believers in abortions for all; they simply can't understand someone who chooses to have a special needs child where there are so many other options nowadays.
  IOW, Trig should have been aborted. Not born. He had no right to life. Thus, any treatment of him is acceptable.
  3. A guilty conscience is involved and defiance. The shame is indicated by the fact that hundreds of equally disgusting comments were pulled from the blog post and the author's name was pulled. Obviously something struck the author as imprudent for him to pull his byline. But the rebellious and mean-spirited response to Mediate's Christopher and the fact that the damn column remains up indicates he's not willing to admit he was wrong, wrong, wrong.
  4. That said, now that some advertisers have pulled their dollars, we'll see how capitalistic Wonkette really is. Because when it gets right down to it, it's all about money. 
  5. AND...the big complaint over at Wonkette is that Palin is using the child Trig as a "political prop," even though today Obama was hauling out the usual victims of illness, including asthmatics and cancer victims. Yet a woman holding her son at a rally is using him as a "political prop." 
  Isn't it interesting how all these liberals scream about the lousy few bucks you and I make and how they want to redistribute it to make life FAIR (which it never will be), but when it comes to THEIR availability to money, everything changes. Indeed, it really is all about money.
