Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

So I can't even compliment Palin without you calling me pathetic--wow.
And it was Palin who brought up Obama the dog-eater---and who can't let things go ?

Mycroft said:
Oh...Obama has been a charter member of the Palin-Haters, too.

But, face it...the Palin-Hater herd started on HER the day she was nominated for VP, so talking about what SHE said about Obama is pathetic.

You still don't read too well, I see.

Sure...you complimented her...then you complained about what she said about Obama. THAT's what's pathetic.

Step one--Palin posts--step two--PETA and conservatives protest--step three--Palin trashes PETA and Obama, not conservatives--hope that helped .

Nothing pathetic in pointing out Palin's pathetic criticism of the "dog-eating Obama".
And no, I won't throw those names at you that you threw at me .

And you would know that how? Not from remarks from the president about her. And even if he now did hate her, that is not strange after all the bull crap and nonsense/attacks Palin has launched against Obama and his wife in the past 6/7 years. And then I am not even talking about the voters who came to Palin rallies and their disgusting attitudes.

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.

Let us be honest, she proved that again with her defending of her son stepping on the dog and her facebook post of this by referencing to Obama having eaten dog meat when he was 6 or 7, that truly shows her lack of class and integrity. She is blaming him for eating dog (in a country where that was eaten regularly) when he was a child, nobody criticized Trig for standing on the dog, they criticized her for allowing and posting about it like it was OK to do that.

And FYI, still do not hate her.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

How can anybody hate the gift that keeps on giving.

Loves dogs :roll:

Hates wolves

 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Her son looks a little too big to be doing stuff like that, so I'd probably tell him to get down. But the dog doesn't seem to mind, so I'm not really upset about it either.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

It's never a good idea to let your child stand on your dog's back or use your dog as a pony.

I don't think she should have taken this picture nor allowed Trig to do it.

That said, the backlash against the picture is disgusting, especially from PETA. PETA gave Ellen DeGeneres an award for "Person on the Year" and didn't call Ellen out when she posted a similar picture of a child standing on a dog's back. Nor did they comment on Obama admitting to eating dog. I have no use for PETA. They kill animals simply to martyr them.

That also said, I truly wish Palin would stop using the phrase "wee-wee'd up". It's stupid.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

I can't stand Palin. That said, I don't get the outrage here.

Dogs aren't that fragile. The dog is big enough that if he was uncomfortable he could easily knock the kid off. Yes, I would tell my kid not to stand on the dog, but I might snap a picture of it before doing so.

Now THAT'S BS. The left hated and attacked Palin from the moment McCain spoke her name. Especially the media and liberal/progressive/Democrat attack dogs. The dumbass people that listen to them ate up those attacks and the hatred spread.

You haven't read this thread, have you. There have been plenty of posts that criticize the boy for standing on the dog. And there have been the usual over-the-top reactions to Palin because she's...well...Palin. The perfect example of that is the three dog-abuse videos I posted to this thread. Guess what...they got no reaction by anyone on the left.

And hey...you get all bent out of shape because she said something about Obama eating dog meat, but I see no reaction from y'all when Obama tells Republicans to sit in the back of the bus. The hypocrisy reeks in this thread.

And FYI, I don't even like her.

Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool - Kids & Family Life, Pet News, Sarah Palin : People.com


Pic is at the link (which I'll include). So why put this in Polls? I'm curious if the story, to put it bluntly, pisses you off because I gotta admit, as an animal fan, most especially dogs, it kinda pisses me off. Not at the kid, of course, but I know, if it were me, I'd teach my kid to not stand on the family dog.

Sorry about the weird font and sizing. It did something weird when I copied the quote.

Attaching poll.

Exactly.
 
It seems like Sarah Palin really is desperate for attention. She's been reduced to picking Twitter fights with PETA and having to drag Obama and Ellen into the issue. As if PETA were the only people who didn't think her mentally challenged son should be encouraged and praised for stepping on a dog. I almost feel bad for this lady. She went from the right's darling, to this. That's got to do some damage.

Also, I think she posted it for the reaction. There is no way that 20-25 pound dog would have held up that kid. She probably told him to just put a foot on its back and stand there. It's about as staged​ as you can make an image.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Kids will be kids but parents should be parents and teach their kids not to step on the dog because the dog could suddenly get up and hurt the kid. I'm not upset or anything I just think Palin instead of getting defensive should have used it as a constructive criticism.

Yes, but not nearly as ridiculous as the people justifying these pictures and Palin's response. I might sound ridiculous but I do not come from a society where you "hate" your political opponent as it seems to be the norm in your elections.

And I did not say she deserves it, but if (and that is a big if) he now hates her guts, that might be more due to her comments than his dislike of her as a person.

Well, sadly that is how the political system works in the US, I think it is insane but for some reason people love to hate their opponents candidates. And the dumbass people are just as much coming from the tea party attack dogs/republican attack dogs.

People have been heaping on the hatred of Obama ever since he was announced as a candidate.

Ooh, I have read most posts and I am of the opinion that you cannot blame the child for what happened, it is the parent that allows it and uses it on facebook as an inspirational message of using stumbling blocks as stepping stones.

And I am sorry, but we do not have to comment on every video where a dog is abused, if there is dog abuse on those videos than that is wrong too. We are however not here to discuss dog abuse in other instances but this thread is about Palin posting those pictures and not about other people abusing dogs. Everybody knows abusing dogs is wrong.

And getting bent out of shape is an overstatement, but it is petty and childish to blame the child Obama when people are critical of her as an adult. I call that trying to go to the blame game in an attempt to divert attention from her own stupid actions with regard to this picture.

Also? What in the back of the bus? He did not say that, he did not use the word in the back of the bus, why can people not use the correct statements and start making crap up?

He said:

And after pushing and pushing over these last 20 months, finally we’ve got that car out of the ditch. (Applause.) Now, the car is a little dented up. The fender is a little busted. It needs a tune-up. But it’s moving. It’s pointing in the right direction. We’re on level ground now. We’re starting to make repairs. And suddenly we get a tap on our shoulder and we look back and who is it? It’s the Republicans. And they say -- what are they saying? -- they say, we want the keys back.

AUDIENCE: No!

THE PRESIDENT: Philadelphia, they can’t have the keys back. They don’t know how to drive. (Applause.) They don’t know how to drive. They can ride with us if they want, but they got to get in the back seat. (Applause.) Because we want to go forward. We don’t want the special interests riding shotgun. We want working families, middle-class families, up front. They’re our priority.

So tell me please where he says at the back of the bus, he says that the democrats are in the driving seats with the middle class families in the front and the republicans have lost their seat driving or in the front and now have to sit in the backseat, not in the back of the bus, because nowhere does he say bus. He was talking about a car, not a bus. So no hypocrisy, more anti-Obama nonsense.

Lol... yeah... I found that funny too. How old does he think Trig is? 2? That kid is like 6 years old and if he weighs 20 pounds, he weighs about half of what he should weigh. I'd have an easier time believing the dog is 20lbs.

I'll disregard all your whining and crying about US politics...it's probably a good thing that you don't live here.

Why do you want to make this about "Obama hatred"? Deflecting much?

Shrug...I proved my point about the dog abuse and I proved my point about the Palin-haters. They are quick to jump all over Palin, but disregard similar stuff from others. Oh...and what do you expect Palin to do when she is attacked over something that others consider cute and inspirational? Not respond? But when she does, y'all jump all over her for THAT!!

LOL!!

Palin-haters gotta hate.

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.

I agree. This lady has pimped her kids out to social media. She has pimped out her family for material gain. She could be the highest paid celebrity on TV and that still would put her pretty low on the totem pole. It's almost like she takes every possible situation she can and turns it into something where she's the victim. I think at some point she'll realized that there are simply a lot of people who don't like her and she'll fade away or take up a Jerry Springer like role in our society.

Yeah, see only stupid people allow kids to abuse animals in that way, and Palin is not up on the smart people roster. If the kid were say two or younger, then that's just a baby playing with the family dog. But - Sarah had to okay this as a cute step ladder.

I just wish that she'd go on the strip circuit to raise money for charity.

Yeah, not going to work trying to make this into me "whining and crying about US politics". In the first place because I am not whining or crying, I am delirious that our political system does not work with that much hatred and where co-operation between 2 opposing political views is not alone possible but workable. I would like to live in the US because I have great friends there and a lady that I love with all my heart, but looking at the political system, then you are right, I am not a big fan of political hatred.

And no, you did not prove anything. This is a thread about Palin and liberals complain just as much about Ellen Degeneres when she posted a picture of a child standing on a dog but I think it is more the complete over-reaction of conservatives for people daring to say something negative about saint Palin, the anointed one of the tea party. I am not saying anything about Palin's political points of view when I complain about her allowing her son to stand on the back of a dog.

I see here attempt after attempt to deflect the valid criticism of Palin's dog being used as a stepping stone by attacking Obama eating dog as a child, falsely stating that Ellen Degeneres did not get criticism, etc.

And it seems you have the same kneejerk reaction, when you are confronted with deflecting by using a false accusation (of Obama telling the republicans to get to the back of the bus) you go on the attack by calling everybody who stated they did not like this picture as "palin haters".

Well, as said before, I do not hate Palin but I do not agree with her letting the dog be stepped upon and then posting this on facebook as if it were something positive. And how you feel about that frankly, I do not give a flying :censored

I read the article comments on this, and a lot of people were arguing that if the dog was hurt, it would move. I want to punch all those people in the face. The kid could hurt the dog, and it may not be an immediate, obvious injury, but the dog could feel sore later and have a hard time walking. I assume his parents see nothing wrong with him standing on the dog. The more he does it, the more likely it is going to injure the dog and damage it's back and legs.

Also, Trig is growing. He is going to weigh more and get bigger. His parents should teach him to not stand on the dog now and not later.


Add: It's not the dog's responsibility to lash out or teach Trig not to stand on it. It's the parent's responsibility.

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.

Oh...I wasn't referring everyone who didn't like the picture as Palin-haters. I was talking about those who spout their over-the-top rhetoric about her...while making no comment on the things that happened to animals in the videos I posted. That tells me it's not about the dog for them...it's about their outrageous hatred for anything Palin does or says. That hatred is of the same intensity and is overblown in the same way as the outrageous things liberal/progressives/Democrats said about Bush.

I don't know if there is a mental health condition for that kind of attitude...but there should be. I think it's downright pathological.
