I've been disgusted in the past by how the children of politicians are treated by the media and the general public and it seems to have gotten worse in the past 24 hours.
That was an excellent post! I don't see how Bristol Palin's pregnancy has anything to do with her mother's abstinence-only platform, either. No mother is around their daughter 24/7.
Having someone who did it and suffered the consequences come and talk about all the bad things that happened to them is a great idea. This is true whether you are talking about sex, drugs, alcohol, or any other behavior you are trying to discourage.
Charlie Sheen on the other hand would show up and talk about how great sex with porn stars is.
I think Palin earns opprobrium for her contributions to the dumbing down of America. Along with a certain divisiveness that frankly, generates all sorts of enmity.
However until she starts making campaign speeches for her mom people have no business attacking her and more importantly attacking her child as a way of attacking her mom.
The point of the post is to criticize people for THEIR actions, not the actions of their parents. When her pregnancy was first announced on the campaign trail, people bashed her even then because of her mother's abstinence-only agenda. There was no reason for that.
You make your children political footballs, you've yourself to blame when people follow your lead. She's the one who started the whole "Obama wanted to kill Trigg" nonsense and when people went after that said "Do as I say, not as I do." Sorry, I have no respect for her as a political figure or for that matter as someone who understands the mere concept of honesty.
