Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool[W:122]:

Does this piss you off?

I don't think the kid hurt the dog, but Palin is absolutely disgusting how she takes every conceivable opportunity to whore her kids out so she can play the victim.

Most people who post pictures of our kids on Facebook aren't doing it so we can whore them out in order to play victims. I don't believe she was either. The picture and post went viral. PETA went berserk.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Here is what makes me mad. If/when this does hurt the dog, a likely outcome may include the dog biting the child. With idiots like this, I'm sure they will blame the dog and have it put down.

Half the dogs that come into our rescue that are owner turn ins come in because they did "something" to the kid. When probed, the idiot parents say "Well all little Harry did was pull his tail" or "She tried to ride Spot like a pony". Takes everything in me not to snap.

There should be a test for dog ownership. It amazes me how many people don't understand that dogs are not teething rings, tetherballs, step stools, etc.

I would be inclined to agree with you if she did not then take it as an opportunity in subsequent FB posts to attack liberals because PETA went berserk. Personally, we adopted special needs twice, but I don't hang my kids out as public bait so that I can then play the victim. Its kind of a white trash thing to do.

I post pictures of my kids on my Facebook page all the time. I don't do it so I can be a victim. I don't believe she did either. I think she, like too many American adults, doesn't know that what she did was wrong.

PETA was out of line attacking her the way they did, and she was right to call them out on their hypocrisy.

I missed her calling out Liberals but didn't pay much attention to her response to PETA. What did she say about Liberals? I saw her call them out for the Ellen thing (she was right), Obama and the dog eating (she was right), the Iditarod, and their hypocrisy in leather and other animal by-products.

From here latest FB Post:

Hopefully we'll talk about new energy and leadership needed in Washington, and I'll bet he and his huge, wonderful audience may want a take on the ridiculousness and danger of liberal hypocrisy rearing it's head again and again – this time over a kid and a dog. I am humbled to get to share TRUTH with all of you.

PETA is an animal rights organization. Its not a liberal or a conservative organization. She throws liberalism in with it because its more red meat for her fans. I post pictures of me and my kids on FB all the time. If some animal rights group started throwing a fit over a picture of my son posing with a fish he caught, I would not respond with a political rant as PETA has nothing to do liberalism or conservatism. I would just point out that its PETA and no one takes them seriously anyway.

If this were some isolated incident I would agree with you, but she has constantly whored her kids out so she could then play the victim. I guarantee you she posted those pictures on FB knowing the nutters in PETA would throw a fit, and then she could make another political rant about it.

Yea!!! He should be in prison for animal abuse!

Get a life

Can you be any more of a drama queen? I never said anything about it being "animal abuse". It was, however, a stupid thing to do and Palin simply showed how much on an idiot she is by posting it.

An autistic child with a body lighter than a basket ball standing on a dog is not something to start a thread about. It's desperate attacks on someone who is irrelevant in politics.

It's what we call a "sad move".

Oh puh-lease.....you are continuing in your drama queen mode. The kid was no where near lighter than a basketball. He's probably close to 75-80 pounds. Palin was an idiot for posting it. Period. Now....get a life.

Thanks, I haven't seen anything since her original post, which was spot on IMO (and I'm not her biggest fan normally). I'm glad I didn't have to read "wee-wee'd up" for a second time.

PETA doesn't usually go after FB pictures unless it's politically expedient for them to do so. She's an easy target. I don't like her anymore than I like Nancy Pelosi, but the vitriol and hatred directed towards her on FB was pretty startling. I don't approve of what she did and have said that repeatedly, but she didn't kill the dog, she didn't eat the dog, and she probably didn't hurt the dog.

We'll have to disagree that this was an effort for her to whore out her kids. I truly believe she is like what is probably 1/2 of the American population and simply did not know that what she allowed her son to do is not a good idea.

Your "lean" says liberal. That means, anything Palin does is stupid. Hence why you thought that this thread would actually be a good one, since you took the time to post an entire thread about a child playing with a dog.

Excellent.

Huh? The average weight for a healthy 6 year old boy is under 50 pounds. The average weight for a 6 year old boy with Downs is about 10 pounds less than that.

He's nowhere near 75 pounds. He's closer to 40.

I'm of the assumption a basketball is considerably less than 50 pounds.

Sure, Disney is off... However, he's responding to someone who thinks Trig Palin weighs 20 pounds. I'd say DD is off because Down Syndrome people tend to look a little heavier when they get older. I think his assessment is better than the guy who put Trig Palin in Somali territory. Also, welcome back, how was your Christmas break?

Hey!! Did you have a great trip to the tropics?? I hope you had a wonderful time and good weather! We Borrachos escaped for some New Year's skiing in Vermont, nothing as good as what you did. Happy New Year!

Hell, I don't care if Trig is even 10 pounds....nobody should ever let their kids step on or ride the family dog. If she wanted a step stool for Trig, she needs to get him a step stool or lie down herself and let him step on her.

It was great, stayed away from DP and just had a good with the family. Played board games, walked around in shorts, and ate tons of fresh fruit. It's definitely a change. I'm back in Canada now and it's -15 in Montreal. Not the best weather to work in but we do our best.

I think we can all agree on that. Sure, some dogs will let you play rough with them. Good for her if she has one of those. However, she should be careful because her kid really isn't all there when it comes to threat assessment and just common sense. My kid is a little older than hers and she knows there is a BIG difference between family dogs and dogs she doesn't know. Our dogs use to let her ride on their backs, and she's now upgraded to wrestling with them like I do. However, she knows that they're comfortable with us and they LET us play with them like that.

I'm not saying her kid doesn't know that, but I think her actions show she celebrates whatever the kid might do. It's her kid and her problem, but I think she's risking the kid not fully learning what most animals will and won't tolerate.

I'm glad you all had a great time. I love the tropics and always come back so refreshed. It's cold as hell in New Hampshire right now too so I feel your pain. Try to stay warm (and keep eating the fruit!).

I agree that she needs to be extra careful with her special needs child. My kids were taught early on how to treat our pets and when they were little, that was hard. It has to be even harder with Trig. As he gets older he may try to do the same thing to a strange dog and that won't have a good ending. They never do. For either the dog or the kid.

LOL....I didn't post the thread. Do you homework and then get back to me.

Well, I would never want to play a basket ball game with you and your "ball" weight views of what a basket ball weighs. Because a medicine ball with the weight of Trig would knock even Mike Tyson out if it hit him in the head.
 
OMG! OMG! Someone call the police! A 20 pound kid is standing playfully on a dog!!

Grow up, man up, and find something serious to whine about.

20 pounds? A six year old? My friend's son is over 20 lbs and he's not even 2 yet. My Heeler mix is 25lbs and she's not big at all. If Trig is only 20 lbs, somebody better be investigating a starvation case.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

And no, at first nobody hated her, but after she started opening her mouth in 2008 that number went up drastically based on her comments and actions. It is not that they hated her because she was a republican, they hated her for all the attacks, lies and distortions she has been spewing since she was announced as vp candidate.

If you want to be really honest, you will acknowledge that within hours of Palin's accepting the VP nomination, she was viciously attacked by Daily Kos and other outlets including HuffPo which eagerly picked up the scurrilous accusation that her baby Trig was actually her grandson. She hadn't said or done anything, and most people didn't even know who she was.

She was a relative unknown being placed potentially second in command of the most powerful position on earth. The media is obligated to report on her. That's what the media is supposed to do. You disliking the content of journalists doesn't make it wrong.

And it hasn't stopped. Remember how they bashed her over her choice to give birth to her child she knew was not "perfect" early on in her pregnancy and mocked her for her support for disabled children? The latest rumors they have started is she and Todd are getting a divorce.

But back to the thread, for those who are concerned over the dog hurting Trig, Jill Hadassah, a trained service dog from the Puppy Jake Foundation an Iowa-based organization that trains dogs for adoption by servicemen and women, including those recovering from PTSD, as well as families with special needs, has been specially trained to be Trig’s pal. That dog isn't just any family pet. It has been trained to meet a young child with special needs and to endure miss steps like using him as a foot stool.

Thank you.

Will there ever come a day when the events of the private citizens in the Palin family will not become fodder for the supermarket checkout magazine crowd?

FFS, she has never held federal office, has not been in public life in six years, and ever ****ing thing that happens becomes a stupid headline of the people who claim they know better what people need than the people themselves.

Right, while they obsess over a rather attractive woman and her family, another 500,000 illegal immigrants arrived to take their jobs. In the time it took to post it, the US went another $12,564.37 in debt, and Obamacare premiums went up another 8.5%....but Sarah absolutely MUST be put in her place....because.........


well because it's easier than actually facing the serious challenges that are tearing the country apart. Love it.
