    I really don't think this story has any merit, but I saw this yesterday, and it made me laugh:

    Isn't it amazing that in Obama's short political career he has so much controversy and baggage? What would 4 years of an Obama administration bring?

    That is hilarious. The best part is the tribute to one of the most dispicable political tricks ever done, which was done by the guy occupying the White House currently.

    I will go ahead and join the vast majority of liberals on this board and dismiss this rumor. I would suggest us all stop posting in this thread so that certain people can't attribute posting to a support for this rumor, but those people make **** up anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

    What difference does it make whether the kid had down syndrome or not -- why is it even part of the discussion ?

    My sentiments on Palin have been added to my blog, for those interested. Brace yourselves -- it does include the greatest picture in the history of the innerwebs.

    To rebut rumors, Palin says daughter, 17, pregnant
    Mon Sep 1, 2008 11:55am EDT

    By Steve Holland

    ST. PAUL (Reuters) - The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

    Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

    Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said.

    "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the Palins' statement said.

    "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support," the Palins said.

    The Palins asked the news media to respect the young couple's privacy.

    "Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates," the statement concluded.

    MCCAIN KNEW

    Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.

    In the short period since she was announced last Friday, Palin has helped to energize the Republican Party's conservative base, giving the McCain camp fresh energy going into the campaign for the November 4 election against Democrat Barack Obama.

    McCain officials said the news of the daughter's pregnancy was being released to rebut what one aide called "mud-slinging and lies" circulating on liberal blog sites.

    According to these rumors, Sarah Palin had faked a pregnancy and pretended to have given birth in May to her fifth child, a son named Trig who has Down syndrome. The rumor was that Trig was actually Bristol Palin's child and that Sarah Palin was the grandmother.

    A senior McCain campaign official said the McCain camp was appalled that these rumors had not only been spread around liberal blog sites and partisan Democrats, but also were the subject of heightened interest from mainstream news media.

    "The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama's name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change,'" a senior aide said.

    ...waiting for libs to misinterpret this as confirming their conspiracy theory...

    It's disgusting that the rabid libs invaded the privacy of this young 17-year old woman and attempted to humiliate her. Just disgusting.

    The least you could do is put a spoiler tag on that image.

    So, unlike Obama, she's going to let her daughter be "punished" with a baby?

    Of much greater concern IMHO is the creation of the legendary Higgs-Bozo particle -- suckage of this magnitude would certainly envelop the entire earth in a matter of seconds.

    So she'll go from MILF to GILF by the time she takes office?

    I love the fact that the media and the left-wing blogs tried to push the Down Syndrome baby smear. This is gonna come back and bite them bigtime.

    Except they didn't. As many have pointed out, yet many conservatives in this thread have failed to grasp is that this was not started by the left-wing, most lefty posters here have commented saying this is absurd, the media has been all Gustav all the time and even the left-wing blogs didn't pick up on it until well after it was posted here (and the ones I've read, don't believe the smear either). Please quit acting like anywhere close to a majority of Obama supporters are pushing this story. We're not.

    This is no phone call tying a white man to a black baby in order to energize some racist voters (or the myriad of r****ded accusations spouted off by one of your fellow Republicans on this forum just earlier in this thread.

    ''

    So you are saying this rumor was started by the Republicans? These rumors DID come from Left wing blogs and Obama supported sites. So you are saying Clutchfans BBS Started the momentum for this rumor? WOW you really give this BBS a lot of credit. :rolleyes:

    EPIC FAIL.

    The rocket-rich-in-nyc's of the world pushed it. Nice try though. The attempt of the McCain campaign to say "blogs with Obama's name in them!!1!" is about as pathetic as Cindy McCain yesterday saying Palin has international experience because "Alaska is close to Russia!!1!"

    It started with DailyKos, B-Bob. DailyKos is practically the news arm of the Obama campaign. Man up and admit it.

    I guess Obama believed his mom was being punished too when she decided to keep him.
