Daily Kos tries to cancel P.D.S. alert
Photoshop: David Lunde
We noted the nutroots’ deepening Palin Derangement Syndrome over the weekend, topped by a diarist at the Daily Kos who’s been spreading disgusting, bottom-of-the-barrel rumors — picked up by the excitable and shameless Andrew Sullivan — about Gov. Sarah Palin’s youngest child and attacking one of Palin’s daughters as the mother of Trig.
The Free Republic fights back with photos of a very pregnant Gov. Palin in late February. I linked to an April blog post from an airline passenger who met the pregnant governor on a flight from Fairbanks. It is unbelievably surreal that this dirtbag Kossack rumor has to be debunked.
Even another Kos diarist is now trying to undo the damage. Accompanied by the photo the Freepers found, the diarist headlined a post this morning: “Sarah Palin Baby Story Ender.” The diarist insists: “Unless someone has counter evidence, we can drop this crap now.”
The diarist is arguing with his/her fellow tinfoilers about whether Palin is wearing a “fake pregnancy suit” and commenters are still insisting that Palin’s daughter was showing and the governor was not. And in an update, the diarist — no doubt feeling pressure from the paranoid zealots in the cesspool — is polling readers on whether the post should be deleted. Nearly 30 percent of readers think the post attempting to debunk the rumor should be deleted.
Truly, truly unhinged.
You really can’t cure stupid.

Daughter showing – Mom not showing (10+ / 0-)

It’s not hard to find photos of the family where the daughter seems to be showing and Mom does not seem to be showing. The photos are not necessarily from 2008, but from the ages of the kids, they can’t be from very long ago.
There are several different pictures taken on different days of the whole family. The ones I saw were part of the video on three YouTube videos, by three separate people.
At the very least, there is something strange going on here.

DING DING DING (0+ / 0-)
None of us have any clue whether there’s any truth to this rumor. This diary doesn’t come close to answering the question.
It’s one picture taken on an uncertain date, and the poster initially got it wrong as to who took the picture. There are other pictures posted here by others that raise serious suspicions. I’d like to compare the dates of those photos w/ the date of this photo, and I’d like even more to see additional photos taken in the interim.
Team McCain made an impulsive last-minute decision b/c they saw their #s cratering during the DNC. I have little doubt that the decision will come to haunt them. Whether this story is what haunts them most of all remains to be seen.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I see things that never were and ask why not?

and there really isn’t a treatment program for it either… lol
More like “can’t cure chronic insanity” in the Kos Kidz case.
I’m sure they’ll find moral relativism here somehow. It’s probably George Bush’s fault.
Somehow, Gustav missing NOLA with a direct hit will be Bush’s fault too.
those mental defectives can’t look at an average Apple Pie American Family and believe that a Mom and a Dad would make babies together.
lol, that happened along time ago.
Le me get this right. The lib blogs are posting a photo taken in 2006 as proof that her daughter carried the baby that was born in 2008.
Wow, a new medical miracle to carry a baby for 24 months!
Mommies and Daddies have abortions. Only unwed little girls have babies.
May God help those simpletons. It’s truly a miracle that they haven’t been injured crossing the streets alone.
Stupid is as stupid does. Liberals are like a box of chocolates. Some have nuts some have bad insides.
The KosmoNUTS are insane with hatred. At least there is some redemption that one person sees the folly of their wanton behavior…hopefully.
Why would you pick the least logical and most unlikely story? Because you are a Kos reading conspiracy theorist. Paranoia is the norm. And they really like to smear decent people. I suspect decency is a concept with which most of them are unfamiliar.
I like it when the left falls flat on their faces while making a$$es of themselves. Stooping to new lows, Kos and Sullivan—-didn’t think the bar got any lower.
I think I heard that Alan Colmes went along with this story,too…
Oh well, on to the next juicy rumor…
I heard that in 3rd grade Palin showed up to a standardized test with only one, not two, sharpened #2 pencils. Ready to lead? I think NOT!!!
Ace has a very good, and typically zesty run-down. Half the community-based reality is saying keep the story alive, and the other half is blaming Karl Rove for planting it. But at least one of the Kossacks is honest about their intentions:
Where does one buy a “fake pregnancy suit” anyway? Wal-Mart? Is there much demand for such a thing? Are they available in all sizes? How much do they cost? Do they come in “flesh tones” in case “fake mommy” wants to go swimming? Does it clash with a tinfoil hat?
Michelle–
To understand why “…this dirtbag Kossack rumor has to be debunked.” You MUST first read this comment posted on DU from someone who goes by the name NoodleyAppendage. It’s a MUST READ.
Some of the more paranoid nutroots are now claiming that it was a Rove plot to garner Palin sympathy and make the Left look bad. Unfortunately, the main problem with that is Rove isn’t needed to make them look like the knuckledraggers they are. Notice, too, there’s no apology…none to Palin, and none to the teenage daughter whom they’ve been smearing for the past three days. Despicable…
one of the comments
“But I still say DKos should be above this kind of stuff. This should be smear email stuff some of our folks put out. All the better if it turns out to be true, as I think it is.
The Dems look stupid because they are stupid.
How does one sue a billionaire?—
One sues a >>>> billionaire…:-)
b-cat… heres one. with a kos moron as the model.
Or maybe we will just rehash this crap sandwhich untill november… sigh… this guys are just comply i have to say it, unhinged. WACKOS
Yup like boobgate (rolling eyes)
comply = completely…
Momma Gump had it right …
“Stupid is as Stupid does” …
I think they wish the taint stopped at mere stupidity. It makes them look far worse than stupid – the kind of despicable haters that would fit better in Nazi Germany than the United States.
The other problem is that they have opened Pandora’s box here. Obama has not issued one of his famous “denouncements”, and in failing to do so, they have now given the green light to the same treatment of Obama’s and Biden’s families. A sad day indeed for politics in this country. With families nowt “in play”, few people will have any desire to involve themselves in the political process.
I’ll never understand the leftist libtards.
Obligatory comment:
ROVE, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!!
I just want to know. Who is the one that brainwashed this people?
It’s unbelievable what they come up with and they call me crazy at work because I have consevative values. I guess I am then.
Darth Rove is only second in power to the great Darth Malkin (insert manical laugh here)
This is the first defence that the libs go with everytime. Look for dirt & scandal anywhere in a person’s past and then smear, smear, smear, regardless of the veracity of the claims. Like Rush says, “it’s not the nature of the evidence, it’s the seriousness of the charge”. They truly are despicable.
And whatever we’re paying him, it’s not enough!
apparantly they plan to attack every single member of the family and the 16 year old is next. What will they find to smear the “spawn of satan” trig? Who knows what evil a 6 month old can produce!!!
This crap needs to be exposed.
Please no diaper jokes…. I can already see them coming…
Uh, if the Palins had anything to hide, wouldn’t they have posed their “pregnant” daughter in the back of the group to conceal the “bulge”?
Those bloggers on the left owe the Palins an apology. Holding breath now…
Gay Blogger attacks Sarah Palin for wearing the wrong earrings to a hurricane. Someone bring John Avarosis a saucer of milk.
I think that for the libs to be freaking out this much, and so quickly, it only proves how scared they are of Palin.
Great selection John!
Their supreme leader, Messiah BO-JO Wan Kenobi, has left the universe. As he ascended he was heard to say to his followers:
“Let the Farce be with you”
Thanks to this continuing bile from the liberal left no wonder we can’t have an intelligent discussion with these rabid lockstep fascists. You would hope they would be able to grow out of their infantile feeling stage and actually graduate up to the age of reasoning and thinking armed with facts to discuss an issue, but instead it is always go for the cheap shot. The only good thing about most of the selfish perpetual children of the left is that they are not procreating like those of us who have values, religion, and our guns to cling to. Eventually they will die off leaving our conservatively raised children and grandchildren to clean up their mess.
I’ll throw KosKidz a bone…
I’m bummed the RNC is being disrupted.
Hope that makes their Labor day better.
Ya know they have had a rough go of things the past few day, with NO BUMP from their disappointing VP pick and NO BUMP from Odopey’s lame empty Speech.
Not to mention the FACT our VP selection was excellent and the Base is ecstatic.
McCain/Palin 08′
It’s Killin em
and I love it!
My thoughts exactly. And if the only thing they can find to argue her qualifications is a crazy fairy tale and a tee shirt picture from college, tells me that their background search is coming up blank.
As Orah likes to say “You Go Girl”.
IMHO, too much time is being wasted by pondering the likes of the KOS kids. NO ONE expects these people to act like civilized adults. NO ONE expects these fruit loops to be rational. NO ONE looks to this group for signs of intelligence. Everyone knows only the most bizzare crap can be discovered there. So what?
Those nuts have their house. Please do not torment their inmates, or feed those animals by giving them space at this fine site. Conservatives, do not click on any KOS craptastic link.
Let’s pretend that this is a GOP accusation against a liberal.
SEXIST!!!
This is exactly what would happen if the parties were reversed. When they can’t win on the issues or the facts, they resort to tabloid tactics.
The kooks on the left know that the baby is not her daughters.
They do not care.
Their purpose was to smear the Governor.
It worked.
The liberals pushes a wildly obviously wrong rumor, to plant a seed of doubt in anyone whose mind is weak enough to accept such drivel. Mission accomplished. As far as getting a smear planted into the heads of their base.
No matter how much proof comes forward the wacko base will discount it.
Think 9/11 is an inside job type kooks.
This is standard liberal playbook stuff and will be the modus operandi for as long as the public education system provides the liberal socialist base with unthinking drones.
Which is as far as my eye can see.
Unfortunately, Boomer, they perpetuate their kind, not by procreation, but by indoctrination — public schools with unaccountable and sometimes ignorant teachers and biased textbooks.
From the Linda Bergthold article at THP:
I hope like hell old Joe brings that up during a debate. Palin’s repsonse could simply be , “You are so right Joe. I am NO Hillary Clinton and Thank Goodness for that fact, because if she was not good enough for your party, she is not good enough for mine.”
When have they EVER risen above it?
It’s worked on no-one except the few tools that already drank the kool-aid and they don’t matter one iota anyway. lmao.
This is like a floc of ducks that made their own decay. Let them focus on their creation. It will give us time to flank them and blow them out of air.
This only proves their insanity and that McCain made the right choice. They are desperate to try and find something to smear Palin with and are just exposing themselves for who they are.
Why not?
If you have a tool to see what the other side is loading their guns with, do you not use it?
My analogy for this would have been for the U.S. not to use the SR-71 or information from spy satellites during the Cold war to call down the Soviet Union on their bluffs.
If the Kos kids are stupid enough to put that stuff in the open – then use it against them in a logical way that they do not possess.
For my part, I hope they keep on with it. I doubt it hurts Gov. Palin or her family, who, I am sure, are big enough to know that rumors say far, far more about those who repeat the rumor than its object. The more rabid and vicious those losers reveal themselves to be, the more they hurt themselves.
You see, these wingnuts think most Americans think like they do, and that this nonsense is going to go somewhere with average Americans. What they don’t realize is that the bulk of us are honest, decent, truth-seeking people who take a very, very dim view of such hysterical, deranged, desperate thrashing about. So let them continue with that delusion and eventually they will be fully revealed as the defectives and degenerates that we know them to be. In fact, as some of them mature, they may even become rational, clear-thinking conservatives.
The tagline of one of the kossucks posts summed it up nicely:
Actually, it should be modified to say “…I see things that never were and repeat it until people believe it is true.” Or blame George Bush.
Add to this:
This needs to be shown to all those who think that what they hear on sites like that are true, simply because one says it and the others pile on.
Josef Goebbels would be so proud.
One of his most famous dictums:
Apparently, the ignorant Kossuck does not know history.
Others that are apropos:
And they call US the fascists….
“Modern political warfare” my tookis.
Keep ‘em stupid and you’ll keep them in the Democrat party.
What all the left of center vitrol shows is that they are truly frightened by McCain’s choice for his running mate.
The KOS idiots are despicable dirt bags and unfortunately are also the epitome of the Party of the Democrats.
Changer -
I’ve been checking there since the Palin announcement to enjoy their panic and I did see one “diary” that was an apology to the daughter. The cooler, thoughtful heads are very few and very far between in the Kos Nuthouse so it stood out.
Well, as Mike Huckabee likes to say, “If you’re drawing a lot of flak, you must be over the target.”
Palin=Bullseye!
Hey Bommer; My oldest daughter teaches at the university in Moscow. McCain’s picking of Palin for VP received a very positive response by the students. Keep the faith.
Which Congressional dimmicrat was it that came up with ‘The lack of information is suspicious and should be investigated.’
We know that the DK lunatics and others on the left are furiously searching for something to use against her.
I hope that Sen. McCain thoroughly vetted her and knows that there is nothing to find except the resume and good character of an accomplished and exceptional woman.
I know the handlers wouldn’t go for it, but Todd should pay a visit to Kos and settle this.
Excerpt from the Kos poop, and you gotta love this quote
Yeah, like seeing a non-pregnancy of a teen-ager and asking why not try to use it to slam her mother? How do these people live with themselves?
You really can’t cure mean either.
And that is TOO BAD, because somebody needs to create an antidote to this kind of evil. I feel so sorry for the daughter, she has to be mortified by this crap.

Why not?”
Yup, Dave. Also, when you use a link from here to there, the site (all sites, actually) knows where you came from, i.e. the ‘referrer site/page”.
If it drives them even just a wee bit more into panic and paranoia it’s worth it for that, if nothing else.
Works the other way around, too. Michelle can check her referrer log to catch incoming links from Kos or other sites. But we only get peeved or fired-up hereabouts on misc topics and avoid tin-foil hat type stuff, so it’s not nearly the entertaining zaniness the Kos Kidz are used to taking in at their home turf.
Re: #18
Noodle appendage sounds like he/she has studied up on Gobbels.
It’s way past stupidity that afflicts the left.
Once again, I just left the PUMA web site, the attacks on Palin are a hot topic there and they really have a strong dislike for the way this is playing out in the MSM. I wonder if obama and his attack dogs know how bad this is hurting him? All I know is I was one of those people that was going to hold his nose and pull the lever for McCain just for the Judges but now I feel……… HAPPY, THRILLED and tired
Retardation on an unprecidented scale. I suppose that I should start floating runors that Michelle Obama gave give to an albino and left it with Obama’s half brother George Obama in Kenya.
The Kos Kidz are a fine example of the infinite monkey theorem in practice.
They’re a long way from Shakespeare and seem to be having a little trouble getting to “Go Dog Go”.
And they call us knuckle-draggers?
Out of pure curiosity, is there any liberal derangement syndroms? If i’m not mistaken there were people on this site saying Obama was the Anti-Christ, literally lucifer! And a Muslim. And that he still does drugs.
unbelievable.
no…..predictable.
My money says The Obamamination will turn out to the the Democratic Party’s version of Tom Dewey.
Remember the quote frm Alice Roosevelt Longworth, that Dewey looked like the groom figurine on a wedding cake. Think same could be said for the Obamamination.
In a small way, I hope stupid attacks like these keep up.. when the dems find out that Sarah! is a force to be reckoned with, more experience with the executive branch, and everything else, it might be too late..
they hit her with nonsense.. she hits back at their platform..
McCain needs to keep her front and center of the campaign too..
the more I see her in interviews, the more I like her..
By way of Althouse:
An Americablog commenter’s take on the next scandal. She wore the wrong earrings to a disaster!
Hey, what ever gave anyone the impression that Liberals were hypocrits? Are they not doing to Palin the very thing they loathe so much, that they previously have labeled it as “McCarthyism”, when practiced on anyone else? How could anyone with just one functioning brain cell ever subscribe to the left’s kooky and hypocritical beliefs? Boggles the mind.
What man would care about earring?
Ohhh, americablog.
Keep flailing loser.
FamilyMan my son did a year at ISU in Pocatello working on becoming a documented drug pusher, but needed to take a year off. The kid put too much pressure on himself maintaining a 4.0 which earned him the highest GPA in the Greek system of the university.
One thing I liked about the school is I actually saw a couple of administrators openly wearing crosses on a chain, which gave me a good vibe about the school to begin with. BSU has some real liberal knuckleheads there I remember last years dust-up about the Veteran’s Day 21 gun salute and how the administration was worried about causing a panic about an announced tribute to our troops. One reason I prefer he go back to ISU next year to finish his pre-Pharmacy program.
He doesn’t?
Courtesy of the same folk who brought you “Bush lied, people died,” “no blood for oil,” and “9-11 was an inside job.”
No doubt, the highest ranking republican who speaks out about this latest nonsense from the left will be charged as “the Worst Person in the World” on MSNBC tonight.

Yes It’s true that Obama still snorts huge amounts of coke just like Scarface except he doesn’t know how to operate a machine gun.
In addition to the wayout wackos, we have the party leader wackos saying this in the NYT:
“Mrs. Clinton’s friends said that she (Clinton) was galled that Ms. Palin might try to capitatize on a movement that Mrs. Clinton, of NY built among women in the primaries.”
John Kerry said “that women would not be “seduced by the republican ticket.”
Guy Cecil, former director of Clinton’s campaign said “It was insulting to compare Hillary Clinton’s lifetime of service and her commitment to progressive causes to that of a novice, right-wing governor.
David Axelrod said “Palin may add some gender diversity to their ticket, but she doesn’t add any philosophical diversity for us. Hillary is a huge asset for us and we want her out there, though we would have wanted her out there regardless of Palin.”
By all means, bring out Clinton! Now just what was her negative approval rating??? Let’s just see how sexist the dems are! BRING IT ON!
These kooks are truly a piece of work.They applaud Bradgelina and put pictures all over People magazine of their babies even though they are unmarried and career oriented and dragging their kids all over the globe.They fawn all over JaimieLynn Spears and all sorts of other Hollywood libs having children out of wedlock,They applaud people like Madonna and Paris Hilton with all of their sleeziness,but a happily married mom of 44 they viciously attack her and her daughter with these vicious lies,unbelievable.By the way I thought she was a bad mom because she didn’t immediately go to the hospital when her water broke,which is it?
KOS is a cesspool, and their contributors are detestable.
Would this bunch be happy only with a birth certificate, showing Todd and Sarah as the parents of Trig?
Perhaps we could insist on a birth certifate swap, with Barack then…
I just have to keep saying it….
It’s killin em and
I Love It!
McCain/Palin 08′!!
I hear Obama was having gay sex with Rev. Wright.
No. The tinfoil crowd will then say she used the power of the governor’s office and had someone forge it. There is no way to convince these people.

Sounds fair, watch em back peddle then.
oops, neeeeeeeeevermind lmao.
“birth certificate” swap with Barack, I meant.
(the typo way kinda sounds vulgar)
This comment from Althouse pretty much sums it up:
I just read this headline on a post over on Free Republic…
“Call off your flying monkeys, before Palin starts picking them off with a M-16.”
LOL
C’mon Goldwater, he’s Impotent and would have to disclose he has H.I.V.
First of all, Gov. Palin’s daughter must be humiliated, that it is all over the internet that she looked pregnant! For a teenager, that is the worst thing you can say…that she has a big stomach! I pray she isn’t reading this junk.
Secondly, I have decided that Dennis Kucinich was right…years and years ago, we were visited by aliens. They left some of their humanoids behind to breed. The humanoids were all programmed to think irrationally and have no common sense, morals or character. They look just like us normal thinking people but they are non-human. That is the only possible explanation!
/sarc off
This will only make the Kostards look less than human.
