Originally I was just trying to make a joking comparison to the Bill Clinton issue. Then events caught up with me and it was revealed that Bristol is still knocked up so obviously she is not lying about it being her baby. To be a bit more serious I agree with you that a lot of the fundies are acting as as if she made a conscious decision to carry the Down's syndrome baby to term but I can't find any reference to Palin herself saying she even knew the baby had Down's before it was born. Even nut jobs aren't responsible for everything their nut job partisans do or say. Now to get less serious, the right wing insists that Obama supports infanticide so why don't they give Palin credit for not leaving her baby on the ice? Isn't that enough? -- Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity. -Frank William Leahy, football coach (1908-1973) _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
