Let’s see, why don’t we smear Sarah Palin’s 16 year old daughter, and in the process accuse Governor Palin herself of being a pathological liar so profound that no one’s ever called her on it? Based on the fact that we can’t find any photos on the internet where the Governor “looks pregnant?” Are people not aware that many women don’t show more than a small tummy until their last trimester? Good lord!
And in the unlikely event that this story is actually true, why would that hurt Governor Palin or the McCain campaign? Answer: it wouldn’t. But this kind of slime-mongering just might hurt Obama. The obvious question: is taking a family tragedy and/or throwing a 16 year old daughter into the meatgrinder of dirty politics what Obama meant by how his movement was going to change Washington?
The comments thread is even worse than the front page article, or this obscene thread on Daily Kos that started it all.

I also frequent and enjoy HS (who has heretofore been a McCain supporter), but I have no idea what he’s smoking as that series of posts is just bat sh*t crazy.

OH. MY. GOD!!!!!! I AGREE!!!
By tonight or sooner since she is a christian:
SARAH SPEAKS IN TONGUES and she is really visiting space aliens when she hikes.
She is beautiful and women will and do hate her for that alone. There will be so many stupid and sickening things said on a daily basis. The woman took on big oil and she does have some haters. I have had her in prayer since the announcement.
I can only imagine now that she is national and world news that some seedy things will happen. We’ve just got to know by now with the press coverage being so liberal, that trash on the beautiful Sarah will be unreal.
GAH!!!
Dean, I agree that Obama could end up to the negative over stuff.
Dean, I have the sense that Gov. Palin and her husband see their son as a ‘challenge’, not a ‘tragedy’.
Maybe there was weeping going on when they learned their son would have Down Syndrome, but if so they did not make a public spectacle of it.

Dean:
Surely you did not actually expect the Obama campaign, or his supporters to actually believe their own moonbat hype about "hope and change" did you? I certainly didn’t. This is exactly what I expected from them because this is how "politics" is done in the 21st century. This is what the Clinton’s have left us as a legacy. The dirty smear, the personal destruction of candidates, their families and even their children.
And it’s not just on the Left. I’ve seen plenty of batsh*t crazy stuff from the Right too.
Nobody with a brain pays any attention to this sort of nonsense. It plays only to those who are already so blinded by partisan hatred that they will believe and repeat anything, no matter how insane.

not ultra-clear, but…
Not sure God (or god) has anything to do with this slime. Just barf inducing slime, their politics notwithstanding.
John: I just meant it would be somewhat tragic if the daughter had to go through that, the family would be put in a tough position by it. Obviously the child is a gift.
The other angle on this is moonbats playing with calculators and showing that only 8 months passed between her eloping and the birth of Son #1 Track.
Yeah, keep going on that trail. Stay classy, guys.
It’s a panic reaction; otherwise, they’d wait for a few days–until Palin has given her convention speech–and go to work on the obvious areas of weakness. Obama’s greatest fear right now should be that some moron MSM type will demand that Palin and her husband take DNA tests to confirm the parentage of the child. If they accept and the test quickly confirms that she’s telling the truth, it will get ugly for Obama’s little cheerleaders in the media, and for Obama due to secondary backlash.
I think the MSNBC "breaking news" banner asking how many houses Palin adds to the ticket is a whole lot more scandalous than this story. You expect the rabid anti-republicam Kos folks to spew crap – but for an international news station to be so blatantly biased is just such a sad, sad state of affairs. I view evrything I see with skepticism now a days. I don;t know that I trust any source for information. Except maybe for C-Span, they cover what’s going on and being said – that a fact you can rely on – the information from the folks they are covering on the other hand – how do you know anymore?
My first impression of Palin (based on her bio) was positive – but they have to stop the oh so obvious inccesant pandering on the female "glass ceiling" and applauding Clinton/Ferraro or this ploy will  backfire on them BIGTIME.
MSNBC basically seeks to be a left-wing Fox News. There are things to like and to dislike about such an approach; the main thing with MSNBC seems to be that they don’t get all that many viewers.
And in the unlikely event that this story is actually true, why would that hurt Governor Palin or the McCain campaign? Answer: it wouldn’t. But this kind of slime-mongering just might hurt Obama.
I don’t think this story will hurt Obama. So far as I can tell it is mostly some moonbats on the internet that are running with this story. I have not seen the MSM or the Obama campaign anywhere near this story.
If this story is true, I don’t see how it really hurts Palin or McCain. Palin is opposed to abortion. If the story is true, she stood by her opposition to abortion even when her 16 year old daughter was pregnant with a Down Syndrome child.
By the way, the lack of pictures on the internet where Palin looks pregnant is not really why people are looking at this. It is the story that Palin water broke while she was a conference in Texas. Although she was leaking amniotic fluid a month premature, she is reported to have gone ahead and given a 30 minute talk at the conference, then made a 8 hour flight back to Anchorage rather than going to a Texas hospital. She also did not go to an hospital in Anchorage, which would be the safest place to have a premature birth, but instead drove to a small hospital near her home town. Perhaps there is some explanation for this, but it seems reckless to many people and just does not make sense.
It is extremely rare for a young, healthy woman to give birth to a child with Down Syndrom. It is far, far more likely that it is Gov. Palin’s child because of her age.
In fact, according to information I looked up on ds-health.com:
If the daughter is 16 there was a 1 in 1250 chance of having a baby with Downs.
Gov. Palin — being 44 — had a 1 in 40 chance.
So, her 16 year-old daughter is about 30x less likely to have had that child.
This is a ‘Desperate Housewives†plot, plain and simple.   Hard as it is to believe, this very same chain of events happened to the religious, Republican, gun loving woman character. And these people like to think of themselves as the party of creative people….
Apparently, being a dKos diarist doesn’t require knowledge of basic human biology:

Note the dates, and watch as the usual scum run for cover.
Governor Sara Palin and her husband Todd present their fifth child, a boy named Trig Paxson Van Palin…
Holy shit. That might be the coolest name ever.
The ones pushing this have no concept of how badly it could backfire on them. That doesn’t matter to them. There’s only bloodlust without reason.
Do the Democratic party leaders who attend Yearly Kos and post on DailyKos realize that Kos is a hate/conspiracy site?
