she looks cute - the shorts are a little short, but then she's just a little girl at 11 - hopefully she'll exercise more modesty in a couple of years.

The difference in palin is the attack was directed in reality at sarah and here there is no such venue. Just plain maliciousness towards a little girl......not the kind of people I would ever want trying to lead my country.

Part of the gist of the article, HC, is about how those who did complain about the article were viciously attacked for it.

"So for you it really IS all about politics, and not what is right or wrong, then."

No, no, no...I believe in EQUALITY, SanAnton. No double standard HERE. If you condemn attacks on Palin's daughter(s) strenuously then ther should be strenuous condemnation for attacks on Obama's daughter(s)...no? I thought you and your little friends were real big on "fair" and "equal."

Okay... this surprises the hell out of me. When I think of all the time I spend trying to be civil around here.

After attention from other blogs, the thread was suppressed and placed under review, but before long it was returned to the site intact, and attracted a new series of racial slurs when the original complaint email was posted publicly to the site, with the sender's email address intact.

Makes me appreciate rcade a lot more than I usually do.

They should check some of the hostility at these blogs if offended by that. The Retort has one right now glorying in the murder of Christians in Iraq. Isn't that more immoral than namecalling?
BTW, I think people who call a first lady names like the Freepers used are the lowest of the low. I mean that for any president's family members as well. Leave them alone.

"It shouldn't matter what anyone else believes, Jest, only what you believe. But thanks for clarifying exactly what YOUR principles are based upon."

Well, it SHOULD be clear to you what my principles are, I even used caps when I said THIS:

("No, no, no...I believe in EQUALITY, SanAnton. No double standard HERE.")

You see, I have finally bought into the leftists' advancement of fair and equal. Condemnation of comments about families should be "fair and equal." I haven't really seen it prevail yet, but I'm sure all your little friends in the media are gonna adopt this principle any day now. Obama has promised everything is gonna be "fair and equal" too. As we speak, I'm waiting for the Obamamessiah and his cohorts to get me that position playing center for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Thanks again, Jest, but no further clarification was required. That you found it impossible to just condemn bad behavior without drawing some sort of moral equivalency speaks volumes.

Here is a quote from a retort blog on people killed by a bomb at a Christian church in Iraq. Tell me it is not as bad as the crack about the first lady. If some neo-nazi posted something similar about Buchenwald, would it rate a ban from this site?

"Hallelujah! More soldiers for Christ have found their eternal reward!
God is great!"

Who was that, Tosser?

"Thanks again, Jest, but no further clarification was required. That you found it impossible to just condemn bad behavior without drawing some sort of moral equivalency speaks volumes."

No problem, pal...I was just following your lead when you posted THIS:

("I'm sure all of those who have been outraged by treatment of the Palins will join in the condemnation of this behavior.")

I didn't see anything about your objection to ALL attacks on families. Incidently, just how strenuous WAS your condemnation of the remarks about Palin's daughters. Nothing partisan about you...no siree. If I missed your condemnation I apologize.

Quite unequivocal, as a matter of fact. Direct attacks on people's kids (especially underage ones) are not acceptable.

And I managed to do that without basing it on what the "other guys" do or do not do.

Sorry you couldn't do the same.

Morality isn't the issue. (I think of "Blog God" as a semi-ironic term, and don't expect Rogers to provide moral or spiritual guidance.)

As heinous as some people's beliefs about various groups may be, I usually think open discussion is useful. One group discovers that this kind of hatred still exists, and the other learns that most people are appalled by it.

Ad hominem attacks on particular individuals, especially those on children who did not choose to be in the public eye, are different.

Well said, Phoenix. I agree. I also get sick of the moral outrage expressed by people who engage in this sort of practice when their side is on the receiving end.

ROFLMAO....Suckers!

"Daily Kos Far Left Nutjob Caught In Blogging Scandal"

"A Vancouver reporter accused Free Republic of allowing racist comments this weekend.
But, oddly enough, this same Vancouver Sun reporter, Chris Parry, has a very controversial background. He has advocated on Daily Kos for liberals to post hate speech on conservative blogs and blame it on conservatives.
What a strange coincidence?"

"But the real story here is that this same reporter and Daily Kos contributer has advocated on his Daily Kos blog any number of egregious offenses, among them: posting hate speech on sites like Free Republic and blaming it on conservatives."

Which puddin' were they making fun of, Ne-Ne or Laquitha?

Either way, I applaud the media double standard. Aside from the Letterman incident, how often do we see such a fuss made about the attacks on Palin's family?

I haven't watched 'The O'Rielly Factor' in over 2 years.

When I did watch his show he frequently got upset over vitriol eminating from blogs like KOS. I wonder if he'll hold Freepers to the same standard.

In my limited experience reading the site, Free Republic allows some pretty nasty stuff to take place.

But this story about the Freepers could be written about the Retort or any other big community blog that takes comments on the right or left.

Although I moderate comments, a writer could string together nasty comments about the Palin kids on the Retort and run the story "Drudge Retort Users Attack Palin Kids."

"Although I moderate comments, a writer could string together nasty comments about the Palin kids on the Retort and run the story "Drudge Retort Users Attack Palin Kids."

To make all these degrading statements about the children of any candidate is counter productive anyway. I don't understand what the offenders are trying to accomplish. The comments aimed at the Bush daughters the last eight years were bad enough, but this garbage regarding the young Obama girl and the Palin children all through the campaign and STILL are just obscene. I wonder how many sympathy votes the offenders might be causing.

C'mon, its the friggin' Freepers.

We've had enough of them wander over here, fire off the same debunked 347 rightwing talking points, look like the total morons they are and get their asses kicked back to the FR to know these guys need somebody to puree their dinners for them.

The Freepers are the plastic Crayola scissors in the blog wars...

#26. I agree, Jest. The first I recall of this sort of viciousness was with Chelsea Clinton, who was constantly derided for her looks. It's out of line.

Many of the quips about Bristol and Trig were/are out of line as well, and this trash involving Malia is outrageous. It's sick to go after a kid because of who his/her parents are.

Maybe you should do that, rcade. It might generate some site hits and help revenue. "Retort attacks children" sounds like a winner.

This is super pathetic. Children especially minors should be off-limits to this type of bashing.

But I expect more and even worst of the same trash talk about these kids from a culture that counts such personae as Jerry Springer, Perez Hilton, Harvey Levin and Tony Roma as folks worthy of paying heed to.

I support the 1st amendment rights of bloggers to be as stupid as they want. Ignore the reichwing.

How do you "accidentally" post the same comment on 3 different threads?

It's bad. Agree with RCADE, these are political partisans who are insulting children for fun and games. They should be ashamed.

This happens on both sides of the isle, though. Libs have blogs wishing death and illness on politicians who don't share their views. Cons do the same. Level of discourse needs to be brought out of the mud. Otherwise, good potential public servants will use their talents outside of the mud-slinging arena.

Letterman has a far bigger venue than a conservative blog.

I'll be waiting for the two apologies from the media outlet, the calls for boycott, and the protesting outside.

Only then will I believe its about the kids, not the politics.

#62 - Ichiro, I think it's unrealistic to expect a candidate, or a president, to completely leave their children out of the picture. Voters want to make a connection to the candidate, and in my lifetime at least, "first families" have always been visible. If you feel the pol is exploiting their children, fine, go after the pol. I still think direct criticism of minor children is inappropriate.

addendum: ONE Palin "children," NOT the Palin children.

The kid's problem is she's a girl. If she were an 11-year old boy, they'd love her on Free Republic.

did i not say that CBOB? it was inherent in my comment.

what i said, literally is: your adult or late teens show up drunk or get knocked up on the campaign trail -- especially if your a Bible thumping, demon exercising, abstinence only advocate -- YES America understands CONTEXT. YES YOU are going to get SLAMMED. thin-skinned extremists (oxymoron?, guess not) need not apply for PUBLIC SERVICE where there are if you believe in America, MANY sacrifices to be made... unless your a Senator from some wingnut district --they appear to be oblivious automatons, with full benefits.

furthermore, a lot of these outcries are directed at the "blogosphere", labeling "bloggers" as "operatives."

dudes and dudettes, keep this up and you'll be shooting ppl in the street for looking at your sideways, much less have anyone wanting to be in public service.

YES, sometimes, because it's free country, some nutz get into mob. but when ppl go to far we have libel laws then don't we? D'UH.

but if you [not you per se CBOB] want pick up gun or start pushing your theocratic agenda --btw some of those are the WORST offenders -- and get all old testament (eye for an eye)... _go ahead. you're safe, we are safe, we are nation of laws so go too far and suffer the consequences UNDER THE LAW enforced not necessarily by you or by me but by law enforcement... unless you gay of course, or maybe a minority, then you might first get beat down.

so what KIND of country exactly do we want , that is our REAL task. kids, generally, are resilient --thus is no justification just fact -- adults, it seems more and more, SUCK.

The difference her is that random bloggers posted inappropriate material on the internet but no one cares or really respects what they say. For people bashing Free Republic should just mellow out because you can read the same crap on this website.

The attacks on Palin's kids were far worse because they were conducted by so called "legitate journalists" and popular late night talk should hosts like David Letter on national television and in print in major newspapers.

For people bashing Free Republic should just mellow out because you can read the same crap on this website.

People bashing the Free Republic are just jealous we don't get slammed for the shit we say here like they are getting slammed...and rightly so. We are so much better than Kos or Freep or Huff.

most of these attacks you can see some link to some hypocritical stance that the near adult child has become contextual poster child for the parents' hypocrisy... America only needs a little for someone to jump on it, ESPECIALLY of you try to keep it secret OR decide to announce it.

what has Malia Obama become the poster child for? socialism? taxation? being black, maybe? D'UH.

it is crystalizing just how racist we really are and how very far we have yet to go.

For the record I am deeply offended when people call Obama's kids future hookers, future dirty crack whores, future criminals, future strippers on a pole with ones stuffed into their g-strings, abortions by 15 or younger, future bangers of secret service agents, ugly, ghetto, future skands, ape-like, stupid, etc. That's just immature and wrong.

Here is something to debate:

There is no chance Malia would have known about any of this before it was reported in the news and her feelings would have been spared. Now, she is very aware of what was said about her, as are many more people than Freep could ever reach. Complaining sometimes causes damage where there would otherwise have been none. Same thing Palin should have learned but didn't.

They just sink to the scum of Daily Ko's and others who let this stuff go on.

just curious, does FWTHOM know that he is making a complete ass of himself? Shouldn't he be embarrassed at his ignorant comments? What a dimwit!

No. Yes. Yes.

In that order.

The attacks on Malia are wrong. She's 11 years old and it's shameful for adults to treat a child that way. I really feel bad for her, and what she's probably gone through hearing about some of this. What a life lesson for her to have to learn at such a young age, about how vicious people can be when they don't even know you and how a grown "adult" can unmercifully attack an innocent child. Some people are just plain mean spirited.

But my question is this: Why wouldn't Michelle dress Malia in something a little more modest and dignified, knowing that the eyes of the entire world were going to be focused on them during this trip? I understand that not everyone feels the shorts were too short, or the shirt too casual, but surely most people can understand how some would feel that way. And Michelle knows how mean spirited people can be---in fact, she has commented before that we are a "hateful nation." Michelle was also well aware that the eyes of the entire world would be watching them on this trip.

After all the money the taxpayers spent for the Obama family to do this world tour, couldn't Michelle have dressed Malia in something a little more modest and dignified? Michelle Obama spends thousands of dollars on her outfits and routinely dresses her girls in designer clothes as well. On a trip of this magnitude, couldn't they have left the more casual clothing at home? You can wear modest, dignified yet casual clothing to outings and still be perfectly comfortable. Why not do so when the entire world is watching?

She's 11 years old

After all the money the taxpayers spent for the Obama family to do this world tour, couldn't Michelle have dressed Malia in something a little more modest and dignified?

Why? As you pointed out she's 11 years old

Why? Because we all know how mean spirited people are, and I think her mother could have maybe predicted some comments from the outfit. Would you subject your child to that?

I'm not a fan of censorship, but attacks on anyone's minor kids needs to be dealt with. I know the left disagrees with ths vis-a-vis Palin's minor kids, but this shouldn't be a partisan thing.

I agree. The web site should have taken those remarks off immediately. It should not be a partisan thing. In an ideal world, this type of thing would never happen. But in the real world, it is, sadly, predictable. That is why I am surprised that Michelle, with all her savvy, didn't supply her daughter with a different outfit. People are mean. It's wrong, but it's not surprise.

Then why is she dressing like a 18 year old?

Sorry, but there is a difference between a 17 year old girl who is pregnant, and a 11 year old little girl. to compare the two is rediculous. especially when the mom of the 17 year old girl parades her daughter on stage.
i agree that talking about palin daughter is bad, its not the girls fault that she was paraded in front of the world, i felt soory for crystal, i imagine she wanted to crawl into the first hole she could find, no 17 year old girl wants to be thrown out in front of the world like that.
but talking in words that were used about obama's oldest daughter is so terrible, this country is going to hell in a basket. she is a little girl, who probabily doesn't even know what those words mean---terrible. i am ashamed of the people who said those things.

Then why is she dressing like a 18 year old?

are you drunk? I never implied I would hit on her or any other 18 year old. I asked why a mother and the first lady of the US would allow her 11 year old child to be on a official national trip as a representative of the US and not dress appropriately?

I dunno cause she's 11 years old? Is that so hard?

I agree, Cowboy. I guess that's my point. Michelle is dealing with savages, but she knows she's dealing with savages. So why would she subject her daughter to that?

The minute I saw that photo I thought to myself it was trouble, and I instantly hoped that people wouldn't start in with the remarks. But of course they did. I felt it was very sad, but very predictable that there would be comments.

I sure hope the comments haven't gotten back to Malia. Since school is out, maybe there's a chance that she hasn't heard any of the cruel comments yet. If school were in there would be no hiding it because it's not just national news, it's international. I've seen comments posted on international sites as well as the US. I just don't understand how Michelle didn't realize this would happen. I don't understand how there wasn't at least a moment of doubt for her that I wish she had listened to.

I think that those arguing that the kid is dressed like a slut are either Amish or ridiculously trying to attack Barry/Michelle in a roundabout way.

There's plenty of girls this kids age in my neighborhood and some of them do dress like sluts but this is nothing more than casual summer attire.

Wanna attack Barry/Michelle go ahead I think Barry is a frigging joke and Michelle is an adult therefore fair game for attacks rightly or wrongly by the current rules of engagement but stop this bullshit about the kids.

I don't know what you mean by this. Are you saying these attacks on Malia are being reported on television news, major newspapers, etc., or on some political discussion websites like this one? If the latter, what makes you think an 11 year old would have any clue what a bunch of douchebags like the average drudge retort member has to say?

Gimme I think in politics you must attack every way you can. If you can hurt your opponent you go for it.

"she looks cute - the shorts are a little short, but then she's just a little girl at 11 - hopefully she'll exercise more modesty in a couple of years.

Look you cheap fuck. If all you can find is Hillary material to jerk off to then maybe you should buck up and pay for some quality online porn.

I think the comments about Obama's daughter was wrong and in bad taste.

I can understand the argument about was this a planted story that could then be "found" to be outraged about versus a real comment made by some loser. Who cares? Really, the comment was wrong, everyone should agree that it was wrong. Most all of the comments about all of Palin's kids were also wrong and in bad taste. Same with the Bush twins and Clinton's spawn. [Carter's bro deserved all the derision he got... to be fair].

Should the person running that site remove the comment? Probably not. The bad part about the 1st amendment is that people will be free to say things you don't like.

re: "the Bush twins and Clinton's spawn."

I think she has a name.

Democraps attacked Palin's retarded child so anything goes after that. You fucking pussy libs will reap what you sow.

If Rush Limbaugh is the face of the GOP, then the pervert pedophile David Letterman is the face of the Jackass Party, the party of NO VALUES, for suggesting the rape of Palin's 14 year old child.

"Should the person running that site remove the comment? Probably not. The bad part about the 1st amendment is that people will be free to say things you don't like."

Sure they're free to say it. They can say it all they want on their own site. Just because they're free to say it doesn't mean a webmaster should be forced to publish it. The webmaster has a choice of publishing what they want. What if people wanted to start publishing a bunch of KKK propaganda? They're free to say it if they want---should the webmaster publish that too?

Wow, I never actually looked at the picture until just now. THAT's what all the fuss is about? A tee shirt and shorts? The fucks over at FR should be gang raped.

People pay for porn? Barnum was right!

One thing seems for sure... You won't hear letterman telling Knocked up jokes about the O kids...

Probably because none of them were knocked up. We never told knocked up jokes about the Bush twins either, just drunk jokes.

Lefties/Righties bashed the shit out of muslim for going bat-shit crazy over the furor bout some danish cartoons, now the righties have joined their ranks by going bat-shit crazy about a comedians jokes(righites and al-queda are a lot more similar than they want to admit).

Leftes/Righties bash the muslim world for asking it's women to wear muslim style clothes, but righties have no problem calling an 11 year old a whore for not wearing more x-trian proper attire.....

Lefties/Righties bash al-queda for trying to create strife, civil war and new muslim nations, righties now are trying to create strife in the US, secede to create more x-trian nation, or civil war/rebellion to show patriotism!!

al-queda and righties, are there really any differences??

You're such a little woman. A moody little bitch.

Get any escorts lately?

Yes, Al-Queda is honest about their endgame.
