Sure. If people want to report that, I couldn't care less. But I wouldn't be surprised that it was being reported.

If the Palin family was actually defending the sister/daughter, I would FULLY support them going after the loser brother-in-law. That's not what was happening.

I agree that some on the left are keeping Palin in the spotlight, but she is only adding to that by responding to issues. She felt the need to comment on Obama's comment about the Special Olympics. She could have ignored it. She responded in a lengthy manner to Levi's interview. She could have ignored it. So let's not pretend that she's AVOIDING the spotlight. That's the point I am making. If you want to disagree, you have no credibility.

Re: Sarah Palin's Sister-in-Law Arrested for Burglary

The Media has helped keep Palin in the spot light, but Palin's done a fair bit of it herself.

Putting it all on her or people on the right is mistaken, however trying to play it off that its ONLY the left that's keeping the spotlight on Palin is also a mistake.

The media, the Left, Palin herself, and the Right all have various reasons why its beneficial in their mind to keep her in the news, and all are doing it.

Oh wait, so if I don't agree with you I have "no credibility"? how does that work excatly? Do you send out a book so we all know what we need to know in order to have credibility in your eyes?



so she was asked about the comment and as a mother of a special needs child she stated:

"
“I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world.

“These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.”"

You find this to be "Trying to stay in the spotlight"?


I wonder, does she have a reason not to approve of Obama's statement in your book or not?



Come now, the media seek her to attack her. many here can't let her go and I find it disturbing, you have more of a problem with her defending her special needs child than your seemingly no problem with Obama's poor statement.

I honestly don't care about the specifics. When a judge has to order someone to refrain from certain behavior, there is a problem with the behavior being exhibited by the person the order is directed at.

It would be one thing if Obama had nasty intentions in making that comment. It was a shot at himself. Why she had to make it into something about her child is pathetic. Yes, she was staying in the spotlight.

Thank you, Zyphlin for agreeing with me.

Rev, I'm done here. I have better ways to spend my time.

Really? So you admit to ignorance, and think you have credibility to comment here?

So I could make Obama black jokes if my intent was only to make fun of myself?

Please. Your hyperpartisanism is showing.
