Palin is such a joke with her selective outrage.
First it's faux outrage over Rahm Emanual - calling for his being fired for calling a bunch of liberal activists "fucking retards..." ...then it is on to Family Guy - a show that insults everything and everyone.
Recently Rush Limbaugh stated
"Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards" going on to describe Rahm's meeting with advocates for the mentally handicapped as a
"retard summit at the White House."
Where is the outrage...
Calls for boycotts....
Palin's staunch defenders parse liberal statements carefully to tweezer out any hint of insult towards their icon or her family.
Is Palin using her family, in particular Trig to for her own political purposes? I think so.
Her selective outrage is transparent: Rahm calls a group of people a generic "fucking retards" - Palin calls her own son "my little retard" - Palin largely ignores Rush's very specific insult focusing instead on Rahm and Family guy. And then there is Trig's own name..."Tri-G"...the chromosomal anomaly that characterizes Downs Syndrome. How cute. As if the baby will never be enough of a person to know or care.
Her selective outrage seems to go further.
Rahm Emanual was meeting with a group of disability activists. I searched and can't find any references to Palin becoming active in advocacy or volunteering with organizations for the disabled - surely hers would be a powerful voice in their cause, much like Eunace Kennedy.
Is Trig just another Palin political prop? I really wonder. If so, how sad.
