What the hell is the matter with The New Republic?
Track Palin, 19, enlisted in the Army last year. This week, he is headed to Iraq. Gov. Sarah Palin flew to Alaska last night to see him off. She will speak ahead of his deployment. He will be gone for a year.
So, what is The New Republic obsessing about as the teenager prepares to fight for our country on the seventh anniversary week of 9/11?
Track’s “temper.”
What the…?!?!?!?!
So much for leaving the children alone.
Maybe they’ll put Scott Thomas Beauchamp on special assignment to cook up fake stories to slime Track Palin while he’s serving overseas.

TNR must be really desperate to find something – anything.
If he’s anything like his parents, he’s got a glorious future ahead of him. Bravo Zulu.
So the kid got kicked out of hockey games? How many professional players behave worse than he did? It’s not like he bludgeoned someone with his stick. The liberals are going haywire because Sarah is a woman who isn’t a victim, isn’t where she is because of family connections, didn’t go to the “right” college and didn’t follow the “right” career path.
Anything to keep from answering at what point Obama decided not to ‘organize’ the ‘community’ with ‘Ayers’.
Note to jihadis: Don’t piss him off.
To their credit, all of the comenters there think the post was a non-issue.
Hey, it’s another lefty “news” blog!
They’re just creating the fake news stories that will be fed later on to the MSM. Isn’t that cute?
Desperate much?
God, their desperation is unbelievable!
Woo-Hoo! My ‘tip’ gets posted!
Interesting footnote – the link on TNR’s story “This seems a little bizarre” leads to: A New York Times Story!
Surprise!
And they’re not satisfied with discussing just Track…they have to throw Levi – Bristol’s “baby’s daddy” in for good measure too…
How nice……..
I had a horrible temper and was so selfish when I was a teenager…. then I enlisted… yes enlisted… Crowley, Scheiber and Fairbanks are royals asses. Track surely knows he’s going into harm’s way so these crapweasels can spout their vile.
Bizarre no? No. Get a life you pathetic dolt. What is bizarre is you self-absorbed leftists constantly trolling for dirt. Here’s hoping a hockey player drives your grill into his forearm.
Um. This was newsworthy, how?
A hockey player in the penalty box? Shocked…
RedDog
the mental image of that is priceless, thanks!
My wife’s cousin was one of the meanest SOB’s ever to lace on a pair of skates, but to meet him off the ice you would be shocked, he is a soft-spoken biochemist that likes to play piano in a jazz band. Well, except when he steps back on the ice to play in an adult league hockey game.
The temper and passion that someone shows on a field or in a rink says nothing about how they are off of it. I would like to point out Reggie White, Mike Singletary, Walter Payton, and Merlyn Olson; all were mean SOB’s on the field and about as nice as you could find off.
HEY I HAVE A NEWSFLASH!!!!
I heard that….. the Palin’s didn’t have their DOG NEUTERED!
Irresponsible dog owners!
AND…there was a Fire Ant hill in their yard and an ant BIT the mailman!
Irresponsible HOME OWNERS!
Someone needs to do a tire tread check on their automobile tires! Wonder if one ‘ them 300 some odd dingbats that Obama has on the ground in AK can check that tread?
Yes, libtards, PLEASE CONTINUE TO TRY AND SMEAR A SOLDIER! THAT PLAYS REALLY WELL IN OHIO, MICHIGAN, VIRGINIA, COLORADO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND COLORADO!
Dear Mr. Obama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4fe9GlWS8
If you haven’t already see this, please check it out. An Iraq vet ad for McCain. Even if you’re not voting for him, watch it. For those of you like me who are sensitive, get the tissue ready.
I know I’ve posted this on other threads, but I’m not trying to hijack the thread. Pass it on.
My husband played hockey in high school and speant quite a bit of time in the penalty box (so I’m told). He also enlisted in the military and went to Iraq. Oh no, I should probably be fearing for our children’s lives!
First, I fail to see the significance of this; however I certainly would want a young man to have a little fire under his hat rather than just be a push-over. Most children that I am around today are taught to just “get along” with every weirdo and creep that comes along.
We certainly would not want a child to be able to think for themselves and then stand up for what they believer, would we? (sarc)
If this were a liberal’s child, the left leaning media would be saying that this might be the next great leader, fighter, and thinker of our time. Since it is a conservatives child, well, this child must have some kind of behavorial inability to get along problem or disease.
Leave the children alone, thank Track for his service for our country, and GET A LIFE.
Too bad they won’t track Obama’s terorist friends as closely.
So in other words he was a normal hockey player?
In Hockey it’s always best to talk to your opponent.
Kinda like terrorists.
lmao
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
Image: Obamabots on high trying and grasping at straws to take down The Gov.
what desperate losers.
This is why TNR was doing this piece
A new smear the left hopes to push
OT – the Palin kids all have cool names, maybe the mom’s creative. Oh no sorry, she’s just a tool of Karl Rove…
What a steaming pile of excrement this story is. Godspeed your way, Track and try to ignore this type of trash.
He must be watching C-SPAN before the games, it has the same effect on me.
Yeah, unidentified, that must be him – who else?
What is wrong with TNR? It’s stump dumb.
To the Palin family,
Thank you for your son willing to serve to protect our Republic. I ask God to be with each and everyone who do so as well as their families.
L
Navywife:
I hadn’t seen that Youtube video – and thank you very much for posting it again.
It’s outstanding – and I will be passing the link on to my friends.
Believe it or not, I read an article claiming she has 20/20 vision and has no need for glasses.
So watch what you say. It might be the next
smearnews story.You’re very welcome. I have sent to everyone I know too.
Ok. Thats 3 kids down and 2 littles girls to go!
.
If I looked like that with glasses on, I’d fake it.
Hockey isn’t an arugula party.
How much time have you got?
This is why TNR was doing this piece
A new smear the left hopes to push
I’d select Track first for a pick up hockey game.
Intensity does not equal temper.
My money says one of the Smarta$$ reporters gets his/her butt kicked up in Alaska.
This is rhetorical, yes?
Big.Friggin.Deal.
Wow! This is starting to get ridiculous.
All of this is working in McCain’s favor. The more they attack, the stronger the ticket becomes, Bubba’s predictions of The Chosen One winning handily.
PS eevryone has a temper. The difference is how long or short the fuse is.
Or a cuddle party for that matter. Men play hocky!
Men also play lacrosse too
Bizarre? This is bizarre? Why, because a family friend used the word “temper?” Or because this young man has a passion to play hockey and brought it with him to the ice? Or maybe because he was a fierce competitor who found himself in the penantly box like every other hockey player? Oh, oh, I think I have it! Is it because someone took the time to write a story about the son of a political candidate and to suggest that his hockey playing ways equate to an anger management problem? Yep, that is bizarre.
And if he was a wuss or a benchwarmer, TNR would be reporting that Gov. Palin is not a “real” hockey mom.
Keep it coming. When people like someone, they’ll forgive a million sins. That’s why Rezko and Ayers aren’t sticking to BHO among the left. Likewise, these faux attacks by the press will only bring out the Independents and the base in November out of support for a VP candidate that is by all accounts very likable.
1-20-09 Indeed!
Liberals are so self destructive. I believe this is a sign of mental illness. Wasn’t there a study that said liberalism is a mental disorder, or something along those lines? They must realize this is only helping McCain, yet they cannot stop themselves.
Like the commenters at The new Republic… what’s their point exactly?
But onto something that’s actually relevant…
Great article Michelle. That sums up perfectly the Dem/Lib game plan and their indignant, elitist -and fake- response to being exposed for who and what they are.
Well done.
You have got to be kidding! This is the best they can do with 300 “reporters” in Alaska digging for dirt?
Wow, if they keep this up I bet they will find out once she didn’t sort her recycling properly!
These people are unhinged.
First of all, let me make this clear so no one misunderstands my post. This is an absolutely idiotic story and only demonstrates the sheer desperation of the left. I’m certain Track is a fine young man and we’re lucky to have him in our Armed Forces.
By way of explanation for the drive-by media vultures; I played ice hockey, and violence is part of the game, just as it is in football and many other contact sports. This “story” is the sports equivalent of the drive-by media breathlessly reporting a Thousand rounds of ammunition in someone’s house (if you’re not a gun person, you won’t find the humor and absurdity). Of course it’s possible to cross the line of good sportsmanship and act outside the bounds of the rules. Most players, whether professional or amateur, will cross that line once or twice (more for some). Young adults have a lot of undirected or misdirected emotion and pysical energy, and learning how to deal with it constructively is part of growing up. Organized sports is a great way to teach a young man (or woman) how to deal with that and to focus it in a positive direction. Bottom line, there’s nothing to see here folks… move along.
But, just to play with the drive-bys I’ll leave you with this. If you were going to send either Wayne Gretzky or Marty McSorely to kill terrorists, which would you send?
*NO disrespect intended to either*
Are we done with these fanatical morons. Give me some normalcy. MAN! I’m done with this crazyness. I have had about enough of people telling me what men should be, what women should be, which babies don’t deserve to be born, which self help book to buy that will help you become the best pig in the pig pen. I crave conservatism.
Good hunting Track.
From your piece in the NY Post Michelle.
“the left’s fundamental condescension and hypocrisy.”
I love that phrase.
OH MY, I heard they even kept score and there was a loser and a winner.
What in the world is wrong with these Palins?
sarc/
Man, I hope the left doesn’t find out that Piper threw a temper tantrum when she was two, and I hear that trig gets mighty cranky when his diapers aren’t changed in a timely manner!
Gotta love the non-news of the leftwing dominated media…. NOT!
I read the report about Track Palin’s temper. Three times. As a Canadian, I don’t see the problem.
Hey ! I have it from igm that he sent one of obama’s children to the office for saying “shuckydarn”
look’s like obummer will have to drop from the
race.oops I mean election. didn’t mean to play the race card.OMG, There was a looser!? There’s no loosers! What!!!!!
What the hell has that got to do with anything???
What is wrong with these people?
They’re liberals…liberals aren’t normal. There I said it!
::hilarity ensues::
I second that.
So Track is about to take off to fight a war to protect the freedoms this idiot Noam Scheiber has, and all Noam Scheiber is publish this piece of nothing. A simple ‘thank you’ would have been sufficient Noam. What a tool.
Why does this rag deserve any attention whatsoever?
Oops, deleted a couple of words by mistake in my previous post.. but you get the idea I’m sure.
Put on the foil, Track.
btw, THANK YOU TRACK PALIN.
Godspeed, Track!

Loony is as loony does.
Now they’ve gone on and have offended hockey players who have at one time or another themselves been sent to the penalty box. Keep up the great work, libs.
It doesn’t stop with the TNR. ABCNews.com is accusing Sarah Palin of “politicizing” her son’s deployment.
Do they ever quit?
They’ve never actually seen hockey, have they?
Don’t you know that, since Ross Perot uttered those words, you are not supposed to use the term ‘these people’?!
BIGOT!!
This type of in depth “reporting” is actually just revenge for Sarah Palin being a woman and not being pro-choice. Nothing will be off limits in her life for the foreseeable future. She has wandered off of the left’s group think plantation and must be punished. At the same time, she must be made an example of, to keep all the sheep in line. The same thing happened and is happening with Clarence Thomas.
lol wighttrasch
I’m sure most people that read Michelle’s awesome blog know that we NEED someone like Mrs. Palin on our team. I’m sure you also know that Sarah and her family NEEDS as much prayer as possible from all of us that know how valuable she can be to our nation. The satan loving libs will stop at nothing including her family that bo says is off limits (yeah right) to hurt and smear her. So please everyone, while praying for the 9/11 families don’t forget to mention the Palin family and while you’re at it mention Michelle Malkin and her family too.
I wonder if Gov. Palin has a dog that bites. I sure hope not, if the Left wingers get a hold of that…………omygosh!!!
They are grasping at straws and running scared, it just tickles me to death to see them squirm. I love it.
Mike
Still waiting to hear about a reporter and/or investigator getting lost in the wilderness following up on a tip.
Come an Alaskans, give em a scent to follow into the middle of ANWR. As long as they’re up there, they might as well enjoy some of the pristine wilderness.
I’m not a hockey fan, but my father is a Red Wings nut, so I know some of the jargon. Maybe Track Palin is an enforcer or semi-enforcer for his team.
Can Track play for the Ducks when he returns?
Shhh, I heard that Piper Palin once ate steak with the salad fork at a formal dinner.
(That should be good for a news cycle)
Pitbull Palin Doll
Sounds like the kind guy made for the Army. It’d make sense to have troops who have a natural supply of “Whupp-ass” in ‘em. Godspeed Track!
Well, I guess the liberal’s way to play ice hockey is to play nice, make sure everyone gets equal time, and don’t insult or injure anyone. Oh, and keep your voice down.
Have they ever watched a Penguins game?
Please…
i guess the ‘author’ of the blog has never watched a hockey game, ever? please, that is the standard hockey player. i have seen many a toothless hockey player smiling holding up their hockey stick. it didn’t take me to long to connect the dots that this is a pretty tough sport.
well, i guess when you don’t have any real dirt to dish you gotta come up with something.
Will he stop at nothing? Now Track has moved hurricane Ike over the Metro Houston area!
According to the headline on drudge:
“HOUSTON HURRICANE; TRACK MOVES IKE OVER METRO”
Faux News Alert:
A picture of Willow Palin has just surfaced…she’s wearing white after Labor Day. The picture is date-stamped to prove it.
Film at 11:00
Exactly what the Editor-in-Chief of the National Enquirer has pointed out in this Wall Street Journal piece today: Everything About Politicians is Fair Game. That includes kids, unfortunately.
Liberals whine: Back to the issues and stop the smears!
Did you hear Track has a temper?
Palin believes dinosaurs were actually here 4,000 years ago too! Community organizer is code for black! Darn those bottom-feeding Republicans!
Now that’s what I call progressive! They are progressing right down the toilet. Don’t forget to flush.
This is a bit off topic, but why do most stories refer to Sarah Palin as Ms. Palin and not Mrs. Palin?
This sleeze blogging is just the start. Wait until we get closer to the election. You think the libs are manic now, just wait.
Laura Ingraham had the current mayor of Wasilla on this morning. She has to deal with a lot of the reporters coming to dig up dirt. She said they’re actually starting to get sick of being told to go uncover “dirt” that isn’t there.
Haven’t you heard? The dems are losing sleep over Gov Palin as VEEP.
Say it ain’t so!
Wow – this is some series stuff. It’s hugh!
I know, but I couldnt resist.
Btw – I heard Slo-Joe Biden say today he wasnt the man for the VP job – Hillary was much more qualified. Rush is saying Slo-Joe will drop out before the election. Rush is usually right about these things. But I hope he hangs on – he’s helping our cause.
This smells of desperation, no?
Why not Governor Palin?
Governor Palin would be the most appropriate.
Personally, I can’t stand “Ms.” and refuse to use it. Everytime I see “Ms.” I think of Gloria Steinem. Ugh.
I use Mrs.
I’m re-evaluating my appreciation of Palin. Well, not really. . .but . . .
Who the hell names their kids Trig and Track?
Pardon me if I’m repeating another comment before me, but, a hockey player playing aggressively is news? Good grief! There’s even a joke that goes, “Yeah, so anyway, I was at a fight the other day and a hockey game broke out”.
Hyuck Hyuck!
I have a good friend who’s husband started playing on an adult hockey league.
She went to the games and was always horrified when her mild-mannered husband would get kicked out of the game.
By the way, what does Track have to do with Sarah? He’s officially an adult now and since he’s joined the military, his drill sargents will take care of anger issues. My daughter went through boot camp and I am still in awe of the way the drill sargents handled the most amazing problems with grace, toughness, and humor.
By the way, what about Michelle Obama’s temper? She has a very short fuse.
Another thought, any PC group that’s upset about dodge ball in elementary school gym classes will never understand an aggresive sport like hockey.
