Do the Democratic party leaders who attend Yearly Kos and post on DailyKos realize that Kos is a hate/conspiracy site?

The ones pushing this have no concept of how badly it could backfire on them.Â That doesn’t matter to them.Â There’s only bloodlust without reason.

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.

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.

This is a â€˜Desperate Housewivesâ€ plot, plain and simple. Â Â Hard as it is to believe, this very same chain of events happened to the religious, Republican, gun loving woman character.Â And these people like to think of themselves as the party of creative peopleâ€¦.

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 inÂ 40 chance.

So, her 16 year-old daughter is about 30x less likely to have had that child.

And in the unlikely event that this story is actually true, why would that hurt Governor Palin or the McCain campaign? Answer: it wouldnâ€™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.

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.

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 Â backfire on them BIGTIME.

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.Â 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.Â 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.
