    I can't believe you guys. Taking your daughter to a baseball game makes you trailer trash? Boy, what does that make Obama, Michelle and their daughters? They've gone to baseball games and didn't come out of pristine households.

    I came from a modest household and earned a Journalism degree. I wonder what you think that makes me?

    where did anyone say taking your daughter to a baseball game makes you trailer trash? having your daughter get impregnated by a member of a family that produces crystal meth only to have the father runoff when the nation collectively laughed on november 4 at the notion of you and your family residing in any other state than alaska makes you trailer trash.

    Because fake outrage and imaginary indignation is all they have left. It really is amazing.

    Care to compare and contrast the Kennedy clan starting with the father, one of the original rum runners?

    It's funny how people are trying so hard to argue whether the silly dirty joke was at the 14 years old or 18 years old, for 7 pages, like you would totally laugh together if it was aimed at your 25 years old daughter.

    Really? Is it just about age? If the daughter was 18 years old, she's free to be knocked up? If she was knocked up before, so it's fair game to be knocked up again by whomever you decide? What if she was a virgin, will that make the "joke" wrong?

    What are the criteria for you guys to decide what dirty jokes should be made towards other people's female family members? Age? Virginity? Or really it's just party line?

    This is D & D, every single frigging topic has been, is, will be forever about party line.

    I'm unaware of that story, but guess what? Quite a number of politicians start out with baggage whether their own or their families. You may not like Palin, but attack her political beliefs. That's fair all day long.

    But calling someone trailer trash is neither fair nor to your credit. I don't like Obama's policies, but I don't stoop to referring to him with a racial slur. I may try to get a rise out of ya'll but referring to his commissars and fascist tendencies, but that's still political. And IMO children are just off limits period.

    Right! But it's okay for you to call Michelle a slut?

    Just stop with the holier than thou attitude.

    As has been said, the only reason this has become a story is because Palin wants it to be a story. Blame her, not the people attacking her.

    As I said, it is just as wrong. Read back, I wanted you to switch the names and all of a sudden it wasn't right ....which it isn't!

    i'm not sure if you know this, but comedians make off-color joke about those in the public eye all the time. probably time for you conservatives to grow a little thicker skin.

    I hope this isn't a Fredian slip, meaning you would allow racial slurs against the Obama family. :eek:

    I guess Republicans are now in favor of Political Correctness? Because this whole controversy is nothing but Political Correctness gone amok.
