I didn't say it was okay. That's too simplistic. I just I don't really care if it is done. I address the threads as they come and don't bitch that Obama is being attacked. He's a politician. It's expected. A few weeks ago I caught US Conservative blatantly lying about Obama's role in determining immigration status. Did I cry and mope like so many Conservatives do when Palin gets attacked? Nope. I addressed the allegations head on head on. That's why it's called debate politics. If you don't like it? Don't participate in threads about that person. Also, don't try and make a sob story about how bad Palin has it. She's a 3rd third rate media personality, a right wing darling, and multimillionaire who loves the limelight. If she doesn't like being attacked, then maybe she shouldn't put herself out there so much. You don't see Justin Bieber bitching cause people make fun of him and attack him. Maybe she should take some cues from him? :shrug:
Oh shush. Given your history on this forum, you're not exactly the type who should talk. You aren't exactly known for being involved in any of the hundreds of threads about Obama's Kenyan ancestry or how his uncle had been at a different concentration camp or the threads where Obama is a super secret Muslum hellbent on destroying America. If Palin doesn't like being attacked, Palin should keep a low profile. :shrug:
This forum is just a small example...hardly representative of the country, at large...so your whining about what goes on here is besides my point.
I find it rather amusing, though, that you would recommend Palin keep a low profile right after crying about Obama being attacked.
Wow, you (unnecessarily) covered a lot of ground here. What does US Con have to do with what I posted?
Palin went back at PETA and actually made PETA look stupid, and rightfully so. She isn't bitching that PETA called her out. I think Palin is actually happy that PETA gave her this opportunity to expose their hypocrisy. In the end, it was Palin who won this battle. People on the left hate Palin to the point that they make her a public figure. Sorry, but posting pictures of your kid on Facebook isn't begging for media attention. It's doing what most mothers do. They don't need Palin to put herself into a discussion to attack her. From all appearances, they go after her.
Lol above has nothing to do with what I posted. I didn't post about what goes on here. I posted about what you've done here. You've been here for what, 3 years? Show us your posts discussing how ridiculous the birthers are? Wait... you are a birther. Now, I don't care how you think Obama has it in comparison to Palin. I already explained: it doesn't matter. Quit crying cause Palin has it bad. She's a public figure, it's expected. If she doesn't like it, she can go back to being a private citizen. :shrug:
Lol, your reading comprehension problems are so obvious it's almost sad. Nobody has complained that Obama is being attacked, whats is being said is that people like you who don't jump to defend other politicians for being attacked, shouldn't complain when politicians on their side are attacked. Is that really hard for you to get?

Oh...you didn't post about what goes on here...you didn't say this:
You aren't exactly known for being involved
Okay.
In any event, I'm not the one who talked about how bad Obama has it.
It's part of what I stated. He attacked Obama for something which was a blatant lie. Did I sit and complain because Obama was being attacked? Nope. I addressed it. That's what the website is about.
I don't think she made PETA look stupid. She simply pointed at PETA not attacking a comedian for posting a picture they thought was funny and then she pointed at what Obama did like 35 years ago. That's pretty silly and indicative of who she is as a person. Lol, she's not posting these pics for her 100 friends on FB. She's posting it for 4.7 million followers. C'man, this wasn't a picture posted for her friends and family to see. This was posted online for millions of people to see and look at. She's a public figure, if you don't think she was looking for attention, you really don't understand how social media works.
US Con's posts about Obama had nothing to do with what I posted.
She did a great job of making PETA look stupid- not that they don't do it themselves. Their hypocrisy in the situation with both DeGeneres and Obama is on display - and she's right about both. They were both given awards and accolades by PETA, it wasn't just her randomly picking out the names of 2 people.
So your contention is that Sarah Palin doesn't love her children as other mothers do, and doesn't share pics of her children as other mothers do for pleasure, but instead does it because she doesn't love her kids? And most importantly, Sarah Palin had the fortune telling capacity to know that PETA would object to a picture that they didn't object to when another celebrity posted the same thing? So she isn't so dumb after all.
All of that still pales in comparison to the left and Palin or Bush.
Heck, lefties even had to seek mental treatment after Bush got elected.
I gave you an example of someone viciously attacking Obama and I not complaining about it but addressing it. That's what I think people should do in regards to Palin. Instead of bitching about what Palin has to go through as a multimillionaire mother with book deals, tv shows and sponsorships, her defenders should address the issue. Not bitch because she was attacked. Do you get that yet?
They were hypocrites... because of a picture they may not have seen... and something which Obama did 35 plus years ago? Get serious.
Please. The idea that Palin or Bush got/get it worse than Obama is ludicrous.
All of that still pales in comparison to the left and Palin or Bush. Heck, lefties even had to seek mental treatment after Bush got elected.
Lol, Bush had it bad but there is no way to measure how bad they had it. He's just angry that people dissed people on his side. That's all. :shrug:
Sorry, but I don't believe the republican or the democratic sob stories about how horrible the other side is on their candidate. Hollow phrases of parties that are equally guilty.
And I still disagree with the morality of those kind of attacks, as I stated earlier people should be ashamed about the attacks on Palin through her family. But this again has nothing to do with her letting her son stand on the back of a dog, taking pictures of that and then posting it on facebook. And after she is being criticized she then attacks the infant Obama for things he was not guilty or responsible of. And let us be honest, where as Obama was not guilty of the dog eating, Palin at least is accountable for what she posts on Facebook and for the health of her son and dog.
I think her "defenders" were addressing the issue, which is the picture of her child and her dog (not attacks on her).
PETA should have seen the picture DeGeneres posted.
She was their woman of the year a few years ago. They should award that to people who don't post pictures that deeply offend them (as Palin's did). And they also awarded Obama a similar title even after he admitted to eating dog -and liking it. That flies in the face of all that PETA stands for, and PETA abhors the consumption of dog in China and Korea and other places, and actively campaigns against it. So Palin was right to point out PETA's hypocrisy. They stepped into it.
Lol, read Mycroft's waambulance posts about how bad Palin has it. Wait... isn't that what you did in the thread about Michelle Obama discussing racism? Point out that she's the first frigging lady? I'm doing the same here. She's a multimillionaire with book deals, sponsorships and tv shows. How bad can she possibly have it? A few haters on the internet? That's what she's complaining about it?
There is no way to prove that they did :shrug: - it's not like PETA follows people around to make sure everything they post online matches PETA's values. Again, where you see hypocrisy, I see the possibility that... uh... maybe they didn't really give a **** about her a few years after? Maybe they unfriended her? Stopped following her? Dunno. A million reasons for not seeing the picture.
Obama admitted to eating dogs... 35+ years ago. Do you not get this yet? Why the hell would PETA go after Obama for something he did more than 3 decades ago?
You apparently don't understand why she mentioned Obama (the "infant" Obama?). She didn't say he was guilty of anything. She was pointing out PETA's hypocrisy. Obama wasn't the one who attacked her for the picture.
Please. The idea that Palin or Bush got/get it worse than Obama is ludicrous.
:citation needed:
Some supporters of John Kerry shocked by President Bush’s victory in last week’s election continue to seek out psychological help, prompting at least one mental-health center to offer free counseling through the end of this year.
The Florida-based American Health Association has released symptoms of what it calls “post-election selection trauma,” or PEST, which include: feelings of withdrawal, feelings of isolation, emotional anger and bitterness, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, nightmares, pervasive moodiness including endless sulking, and being excessively worried about the direction of the country.
Democrats shellshocked by Bush win over Kerry
Okay. If you say so.
Here:
Why on earth would you say feign outrage? I think what she is posting on facebook is outrageous for reasons I mentioned before. Dogs are not stepping stools and even special needs children need to be taught that this is not the thing to do with pets.
Is PETA hypocritical for not taking Obama to task for something he did when he was a kid?
I think you know me well enough to know that I have no interest in discussing other people's posts when I'm making my own. Mycroft is free to post what he wants. It has nothing to do with what I'm posting. Kindly stop asking me to weigh in on other posters.
PETA didn't unfriend Ellen. They still follow her around.
When Obama came out and admitted to eating dog - and liking it - PETA still awarded him for his support of animals. Do you think if Sarah Palin said she ate a cat in 1978 they'd giggle and ignore it? No, they wouldn't. They even attack Republican politicians for what their children do to animals.
By the way, the infamous situation with Mitt Romney and his dog on the roof happened in 1983. In 2007 - a full 24 years later - PETA was outraged by it, and went on full attack which continued well into the 2012 election cycle. You can Google it all and see. So please, spare me the confusion of PETA not addressing something that Obama did 3 decades ago. PETA is filled with hypocrisy when it comes to politics.
But now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, calling it an "execution," wants the commander-in-chief to show a little more compassion to even "the least sympathetic animals."
"Believe it or not, we've actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA's official response to the executive insect execution," a blog on the group's website explained. "In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."
Actually, yes they are. They should have asked him to say he regrets it and not awarded him an honor for his support of animal causes.
