Let's walk through this: Palin's family is an integral part of her "story" — the Iraq-bound son, the decision to keep the baby with Down Syndrome — but when the media reported that 17-year-old Bristol Palin was pregnant, it was accused of violating a private family matter. Palin's tenure as the head of Alaska's National Guard was propped up as part of her national security experience, but when Campbell Brown pestered McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds to come up with one decision Palin made in that role (he couldn't), the McCain campaign canceled an appearance with Larry King and told CNN the Brown interview was "over the line." When the Obama campaign criticized Palin's lack of experience, Carly Fiorina warned them that "sexist treatment" wouldn't be tolerated by "American women." And when reports trickled from liberal blogs into the mainstream media that Palin and her husband had connections to a secession-minded Alaskan political party, the McCain campaign accused "supporters of Barack Obama" of "an unfortunate and nasty smear campaign." In other words, the McCain campaign springs a complete unknown onto the national stage and then asks the media not to vet her any more thoroughly than the campaign did itself.I couldn't agree more with the idea that attacking her family is fine because of the first part of this quote. McCain loved shoving her family in the spotlight, but once it's revealed that her 17 year old daughter is having an "illegitimate" child, that's totally off limits. Fuck you, seriously. Gays can't marry because we'll warp kids? How about Christians be banned from marrying because they have rule-bending, slutty, anal-sex loving children?
