Barry Doesn’t Like The Personal Attacks On Palin
Posted on September 2, 2008
All these personal attacks, such as over pre-natal care, who is really the mother of Trig, Palin’s daughter Bristol pregnant, her supposed support of the Alaska Independence Party, trying to make an issue of a DUI by her husband over 20 years ago, and many others, including probably her hair and clothes, are, according to Barry, a distraction
“And, you know, look, I come from Chicago, I know politics is hard, you know, it’s not for the faint of heart, I understand that,” Obama continued. “But when we end up involved in these constant distractions, these petty, trivial slash-and-burn, back-and-forth, tit-for-tat politics, so that we no longer talk about the things that the American people care about, that may be good for the television ratings, but it’s not good for you.”
“Real change has never been easy. . . . The status quo in Washington will fight. They will fight harder than ever to divide us and distract us with ads and attacks from now until November.”
“The same efforts to distract us from the issues that affect our lives by pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy in the hope that the media will play along. The attempts to play on our fears and exploit our differences to turn us against each other for pure political gain.”
“I think not just Democrats, but independents and some dissaffected Republicans, are interested not in a bunch of attack politics but in solving problems.”
That is what Barry has said this year. He has already stated that the families are off limits. Will his followers in the Nutroots and the media listen to the guy they back? Or, are they so afraid of a strong woman, something they say they always supported, that they are willing to dig deep in the sleeze to score petty points? Or, do their personal attacks just show they have nothing else? That attacking children and babies is the best they can do?
Maybe the NY Times could listen to Barack
But this clearly stands as a challenge to the traditional image of a potential first family, and could well provide fodder for provocative conversations around kitchen tables or sly references in the late-night television comic-sphere. It will test again what voters deem private, at a time when the Web has pulled down so many curtains, and what in these times is considered a normal family life.
The Times themselves have been part of that provocation and slyness, of pulling down nasty curtains.
For the record, I thought it was a bit disappointing that Bristol became pregnant at such a young age. In today’s society, it can be dangerous to have a child so young without a college education. Neil Boortz has said it time and time again. But, on reflection, I realized that she is not out on her own, but, will have the loving support of her family, the babies father, and, based on the community reaction where she lives, their support as well. The baby will be loved, and should do well in life.
No one is perfect, and teenagers are teenagers. Things happen. Do Democrat voters really want to go there with the sleaze?

Once again Sen. Obama has aligned himself with yet another unsavory orginization in these KOS kooks, and when the filth starts flying he wants to step in and give the “off limits” speel.
Just one more example of doing whatever he can, befriending the devil for personal gain and then expecting people to give him credit when those whom he threw in with spiral out of control.
Actions trump words and uncontrolable chaos seems to plague Obama wherever he goes.
Obama deserves credit for stepping in to call off the dogs. It may not affect the Daily Kos, but it has a muting effect on the network news.
He still has explaining to do about his unsavory associates and what he really believes.
Obama is discredited with every vicious attack on a 17 year old teenager. He claims he can bring people together, but throws up his hands in dispair when his own degenerate followers tear into one blog after another. He has shown no leadership, only ineptitude. So much for “change” — as if anyone is stupid enough to swallow it.
