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

I didn't say it was okay. That's too simplistic. I just I don't really care if it is done. I address the threads as they come and don't bitch that Obama is being attacked. He's a politician. It's expected. A few weeks ago I caught US Conservative blatantly lying about Obama's role in determining immigration status. Did I cry and mope like so many Conservatives do when Palin gets attacked? Nope. I addressed the allegations head on head on. That's why it's called debate politics. If you don't like it? Don't participate in threads about that person. Also, don't try and make a sob story about how bad Palin has it. She's a 3rd third rate media personality, a right wing darling, and multimillionaire who loves the limelight. If she doesn't like being attacked, then maybe she shouldn't put herself out there so much. You don't see Justin Bieber bitching cause people make fun of him and attack him. Maybe she should take some cues from him? :shrug:

Wow, you (unnecessarily) covered a lot of ground here. What does US Con have to do with what I posted?

Palin went back at PETA and actually made PETA look stupid, and rightfully so. She isn't bitching that PETA called her out. I think Palin is actually happy that PETA gave her this opportunity to expose their hypocrisy. In the end, it was Palin who won this battle. People on the left hate Palin to the point that they make her a public figure. Sorry, but posting pictures of your kid on Facebook isn't begging for media attention. It's doing what most mothers do. They don't need Palin to put herself into a discussion to attack her. From all appearances, they go after her.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Oh shush. Given your history on this forum, you're not exactly the type who should talk. You aren't exactly known for being involved in any of the hundreds of threads about Obama's Kenyan ancestry or how his uncle had been at a different concentration camp or the threads where Obama is a super secret Muslum hellbent on destroying America. If Palin doesn't like being attacked, Palin should keep a low profile. :shrug:

"Oh shush"??? Really??? LOL!!

This forum is just a small example...hardly representative of the country, at large...so your whining about what goes on here is besides my point. When it comes to the country...and the media...Obama has had a cakewalk compared to Palin and Bush.

I find it rather amusing, though, that you would recommend Palin keep a low profile right after crying about Obama being attacked. Smacks of hypocrisy and desperation on your part.

Lol above has nothing to do with what I posted. I didn't post about what goes on here. I posted about what you've done here. You've been here for what, 3 years? Show us your posts discussing how ridiculous the birthers are? Wait... you are a birther. Now, I don't care how you think Obama has it in comparison to Palin. I already explained: it doesn't matter. Quit crying cause Palin has it bad. She's a public figure, it's expected. If she doesn't like it, she can go back to being a private citizen. :shrug:

I find it rather amusing, though, that you would recommend Palin keep a low profile right after crying about Obama being attacked.

Lol, your reading comprehension problems are so obvious it's almost sad. Nobody has complained that Obama is being attacked, whats is being said is that people like you who don't jump to defend other politicians for being attacked, shouldn't complain when politicians on their side are attacked. Is that really hard for you to get?
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Wow, you (unnecessarily) covered a lot of ground here. What does US Con have to do with what I posted?

It's part of what I stated. He attacked Obama for something which was a blatant lie. Did I sit and complain because Obama was being attacked? Nope. I addressed it. That's what the website is about.

I think Palin is actually happy that PETA gave her this opportunity to expose their hypocrisy. In the end, it was Palin who won this battle.

They don't need Palin to put herself into a discussion to attack her. From all appearances, they go after her.

I don't think she made PETA look stupid. She simply pointed at PETA not attacking a comedian for posting a picture they thought was funny and then she pointed at what Obama did like 35 years ago. That's pretty silly and indicative of who she is as a person. Lol, she's not posting these pics for her 100 friends on FB. She's posting it for 4.7 million followers. C'man, this wasn't a picture posted for her friends and family to see. This was posted online for millions of people to see and look at. She's a public figure, if you don't think she was looking for attention, you really don't understand how social media works.

Okay.

In any event, I'm not the one who talked about how bad Obama has it...except in response to those who brought him into it. Have you read this thread? Have you really missed the complaints about Obama being attacked?

I don't complain that Palin is being attacked...I point it out. I ridicule the Palin-haters. And then when they start making excuses, I slap them upside the head with them. Anyway...Palin isn't a politician. Obama doesn't get attacked to the degree she does. Your outrage that I don't complain about Obama's attacks is pitiful.

Now...you, I'm sure, being in a confrontational mood, will insist on getting your last, pathetic word in here. Cool. Have at it. I won't respond unless you have something interesting to say.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Oh...you didn't post about what goes on here...you didn't say this:

Selectively quoting? it's almost like you ignored this:

You aren't exactly known for being involved

That little part? It shows that we're discussing your actions, not what goes on here. Now, I can find many of your posts discussing Obama's birth certificate. They're part of the vicious and ridiculous attacks launched against Obama because he didn't look like the other 43 guys before him. After his birth certificate was released, people like you still complained that it was photoshopped. Did you care then about vicious and ridiculous attacks? Nope. So why the **** should anyone care about your feelings on Palin being attacked? :lol: As I said: Shush.

Okay.

In any event, I'm not the one who talked about how bad Obama has it.

You're right. You just spent a few posts whining because Palin, a public figure, is discussed in public and those discussions aren't up to your liking. What was pointed out is that if Palin doesn't like negative things being said about her, she shouldn't be online. The internet is a free domain and people discuss things. If a large group of people don't like her actions, they'll make it known. If she doesn't like it, she can address it, stop being a public figure, or ignore it. As for the rest of your post: tl/dr.

US Con's posts about Obama had nothing to do with what I posted. And this situation with Palin isn't a "lie" - it's a matter of opinion. No lie or truth here.

She did a great job of making PETA look stupid- not that they don't do it themselves. Their hypocrisy in the situation with both DeGeneres and Obama is on display - and she's right about both. They were both given awards and accolades by PETA, it wasn't just her randomly picking out the names of 2 people.

So your contention is that Sarah Palin doesn't love her children as other mothers do, and doesn't share pics of her children as other mothers do for pleasure, but instead does it because she doesn't love her kids? And most importantly, Sarah Palin had the fortune telling capacity to know that PETA would object to a picture that they didn't object to when another celebrity posted the same thing? So she isn't so dumb after all.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

US Con's posts about Obama had nothing to do with what I posted.

I gave you an example of someone viciously attacking Obama and I not complaining about it but addressing it. That's what I think people should do in regards to Palin. Instead of bitching about what Palin has to go through as a multimillionaire mother with book deals, tv shows and sponsorships, her defenders should address the issue. Not bitch because she was attacked. Do you get that yet?

They were hypocrites... because of a picture they may not have seen... and something which Obama did 35 plus years ago? Get serious.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

All of that still pales in comparison to the left and Palin or Bush.

Please. The idea that Palin or Bush got/get it worse than Obama is ludicrous.

Heck, lefties even had to seek mental treatment after Bush got elected.

I think her "defenders" were addressing the issue, which is the picture of her child and her dog (not attacks on her).

PETA should have seen the picture DeGeneres posted. She was their woman of the year a few years ago. They should award that to people who don't post pictures that deeply offend them (as Palin's did). And they also awarded Obama a similar title even after he admitted to eating dog -and liking it. That flies in the face of all that PETA stands for, and PETA abhors the consumption of dog in China and Korea and other places, and actively campaigns against it. So Palin was right to point out PETA's hypocrisy. They stepped into it.

Lol, Bush had it bad but there is no way to measure how bad they had it. He's just angry that people dissed people on his side. That's all. :shrug:

Sorry, but I don't believe the republican or the democratic sob stories about how horrible the other side is on their candidate. Hollow phrases of parties that are equally guilty.

And I still disagree with the morality of those kind of attacks, as I stated earlier people should be ashamed about the attacks on Palin through her family. But this again has nothing to do with her letting her son stand on the back of a dog, taking pictures of that and then posting it on facebook. And after she is being criticized she then attacks the infant Obama for things he was not guilty or responsible of. And let us be honest, where as Obama was not guilty of the dog eating, Palin at least is accountable for what she posts on Facebook and for the health of her son and dog.

Of course.

Truly awful, awful things, largely from the fringe of either "side," have been said/typed/tweeted about Bush, Palin, Obama, Hillary, et al. It comes with the territory. What frosts my ass is when people take a handful of idiots on twitter and claim or imply that they are representative of "the left" and therefore anyone even remotely left-of-center is somehow responsible for their words.

You apparently don't understand why she mentioned Obama (the "infant" Obama?). She didn't say he was guilty of anything. She was pointing out PETA's hypocrisy. Obama wasn't the one who attacked her for the picture.

Lol, read Mycroft's waambulance posts about how bad Palin has it. Wait... isn't that what you did in the thread about Michelle Obama discussing racism? Point out that she's the first frigging lady? I'm doing the same here. She's a multimillionaire with book deals, sponsorships and tv shows. How bad can she possibly have it? A few haters on the internet? People thinking she's putting the dog in harm's way? Oh woah is me.

PETA should have seen the picture DeGeneres posted.

There is no way to prove that they did :shrug: - it's not like PETA follows people around to make sure everything they post online matches PETA's values. Again, where you see hypocrisy, I see the possibility that... uh... maybe they didn't really give a **** about her a few years after? Maybe they unfriended her? Stopped following her? Dunno. A million reasons for not seeing the picture.

She was their woman of the year a few years ago. They should award that to people who don't post pictures that deeply offend them (as Palin's did). And they also awarded Obama a similar title even after he admitted to eating dog -and liking it.

Obama admitted to eating dogs... 35+ years ago. Do you not get this yet? Why the hell would PETA go after Obama for something he did more than 3 decades ago?

I think you know me well enough to know that I have no interest in discussing other people's posts when I'm making my own. Mycroft is free to post what he wants. It has nothing to do with what I'm posting. Kindly stop asking me to weigh in on other posters.

PETA didn't unfriend Ellen. They still follow her around.

When Obama came out and admitted to eating dog - and liking it - PETA still awarded him for his support of animals. Do you think if Sarah Palin said she ate a cat in 1978 they'd giggle and ignore it? No, they wouldn't. They even attack Republican politicians for what their children do to animals.

By the way, the infamous situation with Mitt Romney and his dog on the roof happened in 1983. In 2007 - a full 24 years later - PETA was outraged by it, and went on full attack which continued well into the 2012 election cycle. You can Google it all and see. So please, spare me the confusion of PETA not addressing something that Obama did 3 decades ago. PETA is filled with hypocrisy when it comes to politics.

Is PETA hypocritical for not taking Obama to task for something he did when he was a kid?

Okay. If you say so.

Some supporters of John Kerry shocked by President Bush’s victory in last week’s election continue to seek out psychological help, prompting at least one mental-health center to offer free counseling through the end of this year.


The Florida-based American Health Association has released symptoms of what it calls “post-election selection trauma,” or PEST, which include: feelings of withdrawal, feelings of isolation, emotional anger and bitterness, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nightmares, pervasive moodiness including endless sulking, and being excessively worried about the direction of the country.

Democrats shellshocked by Bush win over Kerry

World Net Daily. Enough said.

A google search of "American Health Association + Florida" turns very little. And even so, we're talking what, 50 people? That's such a small sample size as to be completely meaningless.

Why on earth would you say feign outrage? I think what she is posting on facebook is outrageous for reasons I mentioned before. Dogs are not stepping stools and even special needs children need to be taught that this is not the thing to do with pets.

Somebody throw that cat in jail........

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

Is PETA hypocritical for not taking Obama to task for something he did when he was a kid?

Actually, yes they are. They should have asked him to say he regrets it and not awarded him an honor for his support of animal causes. He seemed proud of it. So yes, if they truly weren't hypocritical, they would have called him out on it. Obama also made jokes about eating dog, which I also find surprising that PETA thinks they were amusing. One comes to mind quickly when Obama was at the WH Correspondents' dinner. Palin had just completed a stint as guest host of The Today Show, and Obama brought it/her up, saying it reminded him of an old saying "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious." PETA wouldn't tolerate that joke from Palin.

This isn't about Obama, remember. It's about PETA and Palin.

Fine, then read your own posts complaining about how bad Palin, the multimillionaire woman has it because people have negative opinions of her. :lol:

I don't know, I don't care. What I know is that it would be stupid for PETA to take Obama to task for eating dog 35+ f'n years ago.

By the way, the infamous situation with Mitt Romney and his dog on the roof happened in 1983. In 2007 - a full 24 years later - PETA was outraged by it, and went on full attack which continued well into the 2012 election cycle. You can Google it all and see.

Eh... the "infamous" situation you're discussing what Romney talking about tying his dog to a roof and PETA saying it was cruel. That's about it. When Obama swatted a fly, they also went on record:

PETA miffed at President Obama's fly execution | Reuters

But now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, calling it an "execution," wants the commander-in-chief to show a little more compassion to even "the least sympathetic animals."

"Believe it or not, we've actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA's official response to the executive insect execution," a blog on the group's website explained. "In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."

They criticized him for killing a bug. Again, these vicious attacks you feel are being pushed on your side's politicians are fictitious. People do things in public? They'll be criticized for it whether they like it or not. Welcome to the 21st century.
 
Re: Sarah Palin Posts Photos of Son Trig Using Family Dog as a Step Stool

Eh... Obama isn't a vegetarian, vegan and eating dog is perfectly normal in Indonesia's non-Muslim areas. Why would Obama have to say he regrets doing something which is acceptable in a culture he visited? Does Obama have to apologize for eating chickens too? What about turkey? PETA is also opposed to eating all of those. You're being ridiculous.
