CHUD’s Devin Faraci: Palin Hoped For Miscarriage
Posted by Dirty Harry on Monday, September 1st, 2008
Remember CHUD’s Devin Faraci, the editor of a highly trafficked and influential film site who questioned David Zucker’s sanity for daring to stroll off the liberal Hollywood plantation? Well, now that Jeff Wells has purged conservatives from his site and the liberals are free to expose their real selves without challenge, here’s a rumor Faraci’s trying to spread in reference to Gov. Sarah Palin’s downs syndrome baby:
I DO think she [Palin] flew at a dangerous time in her pregnancy and then took her time getting to a hospital in an attempt to force a miscarriage, however. Or I suspect that’s the case, and there’s no way to prove that.
This is the culture out here, folks. This is the mindset. And there’s no accountability, only insider backslaps and more access.
Now that Palin Derangement Syndrome has set in, these truly awful and ugly people are exposing themselves — who they really are — and giving those of you who may not understand, an idea of just how much conservatives are hated out here.

Dylan Brunson 01 Sep 2008 at 7:50 am 1They want McCain to win, its the only sane reason I can think about.
Carloson 01 Sep 2008 at 7:51 am 2I used to think Liberals were just morons, not necessarily evil (as they think of us). Not so sure about that anymore.
Keep it up, Leftards. It’ll cost you at the polls.
Mighty Skipon 01 Sep 2008 at 7:59 am 3When I read stuff like this, it makes my hopes for humanity drop so low I sometimes wish I was miscarried. Oye!
Carolynon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:01 am 4That’s evil.
Sick isn’t a good enough word for it. It’s evil.
JohnLockeon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:03 am 5All of you can vouch for the fact that I tend to keep crude language at a minimum. It’s really the only way I can sound intelligent.
Having said that, this guy is a fucking chud.
It really shows you how this kind of mind works. Having firmly invested in the idea that people are neanderthalic knuckledraggers who would be completely lost and hopeless without government dictating their every move, the idea that someone who has already done the remarkable job of raising four children deciding to raise a fifth with Downs Syndrome while trying to maintain a political career runs completely counter to his ideas about individual capabilities and human nature. Surely no one could take up such a daunting and selfless task! Therefore, the only way he can rationalize it is to conclude that she must have been trying to miscarry to make her life easier and maintain her conservative image at the same time.
Disgusting.
Plissken79on 01 Sep 2008 at 8:06 am 6This rumor is absolutely ridiculous and frankly sick. There is no other word for it. The left finally realized this weekend the Little Messiah might lose, so that might explain the vile attacks on Palin, but I never expected them to get so cruel as quickly as they did. This is going to kill Obama’s chances if the Daily Kos and even Andrew Sullivan (what a complete hack he has become) does not knock it off
Buck Turgidsonon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:08 am 7Shhhhh! Don’t warn them of their idiocy. If the keep it up, it’s McCain in a landslide this November.
Stephanieon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:15 am 8They have lost their collective minds. I mean…I thought W had given them cause to be put in straight jackets but holy shit there is an entire population of people who need to be drugged with something that keeps them in a continuous happy place. These people are evil and crazy.
Templaron 01 Sep 2008 at 8:16 am 9This will indeed work to the benefit of the Republicans, I’m sure, but it’s terribly disenheartening to see a woman and a mother become the target of this sort of venom all the same.
JohnFNWayneon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:19 am 10Again, a lefty projects onto a Republican what they would do in a certain situation.
They just can’t fathom the idea she would actually “want” to have a baby with Down syndrome. It’s beyond their moral comprehension. The concept of love has no meaning for them apparently.
dr nicon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:20 am 11One of my friends kept recommending that I read CHUD. Now I have a really good reason why not to.
EPorvaznikon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:20 am 12>>…there’s no way to prove that.>>
Eh, at least they’re admitting it. Insert eyeroll.
Johnny Ed's Babyon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:25 am 13This is the same thing posted on Alan Colmes site Friday. He was 100% ripped by the commentators, so much so that the post had to be taken down.
How come all the posts like this come from men that cry when they break a fingernail? Men who would faint in the delivery room? Men that would cower in the corner when Sarah Palin looks at them? Men that want to see the United States brought down to the cesspool level of the rest of the world.
God help them if they are ever in my neighborhood because, thanks to the 2nd Amendment, a lot of us need some target practice shooting vermin.
Blancon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:26 am 14I am but a humble lurker who comes here for movie / culture content. I’m not a political animal at all. Regarding politics I’d rather keep my own counsel so to speak.
That said, either one of two things are true:
1. This guy is one of the most vile people on earth and deserves any misery that befalls him. It could only be a by-product of the puke, bile and filth that radiates from his soul
2. What he’s saying is true. My wife and I had a two day period when we had concerns about our son while he was still in-vitro. I can understand the desperation a parent might feel, but (as Palin also claims) we had no doubt as to our course of action. BTW, everything was fine in our case. Still, it would be pretty despicable to get political mileage out of your contentiousness when you actually tried to effect a miscarriage. If it’s true it doesn’t speak to strength of character.
By the way, I find number one far more likely than number two, but as I said, politics never ceases to show me the most deplorable underbelly of humanity. So I’m never saying never. (Also, I’m never visiting CHUD again as a point of principle - or a way to keep from catching something).
Kevin of Elmhurston 01 Sep 2008 at 8:30 am 15I am stunned. Do these people have some kind of collective Tourette’s Syndrome? Do they just blurt out every random thought tossed up from their ids?
Oh well: Comments like Faraci’s might serve to make decent, humane Democrats begin to question which side they are really on, so maybe it’s all to the good.
Fiftyfooton 01 Sep 2008 at 8:35 am 16Do you see a ’soul’ in any modern movie? Why would you expect to find one in those who work in that business?
J Pon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:37 am 17Well, there is another site I’m going to take of my list of favorites. I’d like to say that if a conservative said this… but it would do no good, I truly believe these idiots have no shame. I’m waiting for prominent liberals and Democrats to tell these morons to shut the hell up, but they seem to be busy gloating over a hurricane in the gulf. Are these morons so lacking a sense of humanity that they can make these statements and still be taken seriously?
To disagree with Palin’s views is one thing… to personally attack the woman and her family is another. Maybe Faraci would want a woman who is carrying a Downs baby to miscarry, but Palin is made of much tougher stuff and dare I say has more humanity in a finger nail than these slugs have collectively.
As for Excitable Andy… didn’t Christopher Hitchens say that something that Andy just didn’t want to f*ck Barrack, but he wanted to have his baby? I now truly believe that the Dems and libs are now in full blown panic mode.
Salon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:38 am 181) A baby delivered at 8 months is a premature birth, not a miscarriage.
2) Due to early leaking of membranes, Mrs. Palin’s doctor, with whom she had been in phone contact, induced labor when she returned to AK.
Why would she do that if she was ’secretly hoping for a miscarriage’? Why call her doctor? Why let anyone know that her labor might be starting? Why not just let nature take its course, with increased risk to the baby (but also herself)?
A lot of stupid assumptions in his story.
Johnny Ed's Babyon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:47 am 19Kevin
I ceased being stunned a long time ago. Now I am ashamed that I have to breathe the same air as they do. Isn’t there a hut in Antarctica they could just go to?
Blancon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:48 am 20Sal,
Didn’t know all the details. I was kind of being ridiculously ‘objective’ when I posted those two possible realities. Even as I mentioned leaning toward CHUD-boy’s lack of humanity as the most-likely explanation I was saying that pretty much tongue-in-cheek. The couple of points you bring up even put things in clearer perspective.
Fiftyfoot. Hard to argue with that. Still, one can hope, right?
Stephanieon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:54 am 21They just can’t fathom the idea she would actually “want” to have a baby with Down syndrome. It’s beyond their moral comprehension. The concept of love has no meaning for them apparently.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
John to a leftwinger love is just a chemical thing, pure simple chemicals. To a lefty there is no such thing as love.
JBon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:59 am 22The moonbats are genuinely freaked out by this woman. They can’t nail her with their usual “conservatives/Christianists are hypocrites” tactic, so they’re reflexively making up vile shit. They can’t deal with a woman who doesn’t consider herself a victim and has never taken the easy path in life.
It’s a psychotic breakdown, and the country is going to notice and will not like it one bit.
memomachineon 01 Sep 2008 at 9:00 am 23Hmmmmm.
Does this mean that I get to scream “EVIL WOMAN!” at any 8 month’s pregnant woman flying on my plane?
Oh yeah that’ll go over like hotcakes.
Soooooo.
Let me get this straight. The same set of people who scream about preserving the right of a woman to have a late term, i.e. at 9 months, abortion is having fits because a pregnant mother flies home because of her doctor’s order?
It really does hurt the head trying to understand some of these people.
Kiton 01 Sep 2008 at 9:01 am 24Notice the Dark Age view they seem to have?
(Read my entire post!)
Aborting or miscarriaging a child with Down Syndrome would be a practical and necessary task… in 760 A.D.!!!
But this is the 21st Century. This isn’t Sparta in 300. This is United States of America, 2008 A.D.!
Johnny Ed's Babyon 01 Sep 2008 at 9:11 am 25kit:
Putting these moonbats in the Dark Ages gives them too much credit. More like Neanderthals.
Their best works are done on cave walls.
Stickwick Staperson 01 Sep 2008 at 9:19 am 26Sounds like a case of projection. Quite common with liberals.
a. acaciaon 01 Sep 2008 at 9:37 am 27Where’s this “dirt” coming from? The Obama camp? Floating poison out to their minions to suck on? If so, someone should get a hold of the memo so all the “undecideds” can see just how cruel the Obamas are.
Politically you have to ask: where’s the upshot in going after a woman’s Down Syndrome child??? What does Obama hope to gain here, other than proving how black-hearted he is??? Nothing but tabloid murmurs and desperate prattle-mongering. Adultery and scandal are fair game; however, this is beyond the pale. An all-time low. Period.
Note to Faraci and Company: Keep it up, libtards! All this FEAR and LOATHING over the fact that your messiah - your Dream Boy - might actually lose. Spewing your poison might be cathartic, but it’ll backfire in the long run as the voting block starts to see RED.
Father Caligarion 01 Sep 2008 at 9:41 am 28The desperate words of a loser.
Blackiswhite, Imperial Agent Provocateuron 01 Sep 2008 at 9:43 am 29I don’t question their character.
I don’t question their patriotism.
They have none.
If the focus is not on them and their silly insistance that the failed ideas of the past will work this time, really, because they are the ones putting them into action this time, then no statement is too low, no act too classless if it gets them back into the spotlight.
I blame the death of shame. Time was when even the basest among us might think such a thing, but none dared utter it. Now this contemptable rot earns the speaker accolades and recognition.
Stay classy, liberals.
wanketteon 01 Sep 2008 at 10:10 am 30This is sad. It’s just…sad.
I’m waiting for them to call Bristol Palin a slut. It’s coming.
Mr24pon 01 Sep 2008 at 10:11 am 31A pro Obama stance I have no problem with. An anti McCain stance I have issues with. Mainly because it usually means someone doesn’t have much good things to say about their guy. An actual disgusting personal attack like this infuriates me. This is where I draw the line. I don’t frequent that website but have been there on occasion. No more. Not even if it’s something I really want to read about. I won’t take to the streets in protest. I won’t call that his site be taken down. Like the left does when they’re upset at something. Or should I say everything? I just won’t go there. Ever.
soulpileon 01 Sep 2008 at 10:13 am 32These attacks on Gov. Palin just sicken me. I really hope that Fox News brings this garbage to the attention of the voters (since no other news outlet would). People need to know what’s being said and just how vile it is.
Unfortunately, everyone’s worried about Gustav, so I don’t see FN discussing these attacks anytime soon.
Bobon 01 Sep 2008 at 10:31 am 33Dang, they really are freaked out by individuals who counter their stereotypes. Why do their crepuscular instincts always shock us?
Supramom2000on 01 Sep 2008 at 11:15 am 34I was e-mail this pix of Sarah Palin with her NG troops. She looks fabulous!!! I am going to post what I think the link is - I hope it works for you all.

Jeremy Smithon 01 Sep 2008 at 11:29 am 35How is Chud “influential”???
There’s no proof of that anywhere.
ONeilon 01 Sep 2008 at 11:35 am 36I was once quite a fan of “CHUD” (the site, not the movie,) but Mr. Faraci singlehandedly killed my enthusiasm. Like most poor film critics, he mistakes a superficial and regurgitated political “awareness” for discernment. He’s a fine example of the modern leftist Philistine.
Kiton 01 Sep 2008 at 11:50 am 37Obama today stated that the 17 year-old daughter being pregnant was off-limits for his campaign.
So you won’t see him or someone DIRECTLY (key word) affiliated with the campaign, such as those annoying political strategists that come on the news and give you NOTHING of value, taking on that news item.
DailyKos on the other hand…
Obama and the Dems, like the GOP with Coulter, can deny affiliation with the DailyKos -and they will if the DailyKos carries on with this little item.
By the way, when I refer to those strategists that come on the news, I find both the GOP and Dem strategists annoying. Only Margaret Hoover and the young blonde Dem strategist that used to come on O’Reilly Factor.
Kiton 01 Sep 2008 at 11:51 am 38Forgot the final bit:
By the way, when I refer to those strategists that come on the news, I find both the GOP and Dem strategists annoying. Only Margaret Hoover and the young blonde Dem strategist that used to come on O’Reilly Factor ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS DISLIKE.
Rusty Jameson 01 Sep 2008 at 12:12 pm 39Powerful and influential bloggers Devin Faraci and Jeffry Wells forge unholy union to blacklist evil conservatives! The Neo-holocaust has begun!
Clearly this is a new low. Much lower than which ever inflamatory comment you were all throwing an identical tantrum about last week.
You people are all out of your f*cking minds (sorry, I don’t usually even mock swear on sites where it’s against the policy). Even if it were true you should count yourself lucky that your enemies are so lame.
I don’t know much about Jeffry Wells (except that he was part of some do-gooder blogger crusade against Eli Roth, along with Nikki Finke and Dave Poland) but the idea that Devin Faraci (who, it is worth mentioning, is a great film critic) is either powerful or influential is hilarious. Have you ever read his dispatch about the trials of getting around via the LA bus system? The dude doesn’t own a car and lives out beyond the valley with a roommate.
The idea that you’re being persecuted because Jeff Welles is totally mean and deletes your blog comments is completely stupid.
Palin Derangement Syndrome… that’s not even clever.
Keiraon 01 Sep 2008 at 12:22 pm 40I’ve been having a discussion thread on my blog with a random Portuguese Obama supporter who wandered in. (He didn’t know that two of my siblings (adopted) are Downs kids.) For him, he is cool with her decision to keep the baby. But no biggie if she didn’t. (After all, the child wouldn’t be “normal”.)
I can’t be so non-judgmental. Anyone who would abort a baby for being Downs should consider that there are TONS of families who would gladly bear the burdens of raising these awesome, delightful kids.
My brother and sister are the coolest of human beings with nothing but love for everyone around them. I’m glad that Mrs. Palin can highlight that in a very real, very public way.
Johnny Ed's Babyon 01 Sep 2008 at 12:35 pm 41Keira
I saw this from Rich Lowry yesterday from The Corner. It is pretty moving and a reminder of what an incredible blessing any child can be.
I meant to post this the other day (so please don’t take it as a response to Rick—in fact it might constitute pleading guilty as charged!), but I got sidetracked. I found the Palin event Friday incredibly moving. Partly because of Trig.
The sentimentalist in me would be willing to see anyone who is loving and unselfish enough to welcome a Down kid into their family elevated to high office.
When I was thinking of Trig, I was reminded of an encounter I had a couple of weeks ago on the Delta Shuttle from Washington to New York. It was a mostly empty plane, but I went all the back to the very emptiest part of the plane to spread out and enjoy he quiet. And there was a man sitting in the very back row who immediately piped up, “Hi. I’m Ian. Would you like to sit next to me?”
He was a guy with Down Syndrome, maybe in his twenties. I declined the offer, but we struck up a conversation. He was going to New York for a family celebration, including for his birthday. I told him I had a birthday coming up too and he lit up and came over to vigorously shake my hand in congratulations—more delighted by my birthday than his own.
When the plane began to fill up a woman and her daughter came all the way to the back with a huge bag. I began to wonder to myself if I should offer to help them with it, when Ian popped up, told them he’d get it, and lifted it up and shoved it in the overhead compartment. When two men came down the aisle with a box they weren’t sure would fit overhead, he intervened and told them it would—”trust me”—and put it up for them.
He chatted amiably with his neighbors during the flight, and when we landed was up out of his seat first thing to help that woman get her bag down.
From this brief encounter, I dare say Ian is friendlier, better adjusted and more considerate than about half of the people on the streets of Manhattan or San Francisco on any given day. Yet most of those people are perfectly unperturbed by the elimination of babies with Down syndrome in the womb. To hell with them. God bless Sarah Palin for bringing Trig into the world, and may he shower those around him with as much sunshine as the gentleman I met on that flight.

Nicol Don 01 Sep 2008 at 12:39 pm 42I’ve sparred with Faraci on webboards before and the best you can say about him is this…
…he doesn’t even know movies let alone politics. His opinions on films are usually the worst form of popular tripe and his knowledge of film history and the business is cursory at best.
He is a true, bitter sleaze.
thudon 01 Sep 2008 at 1:06 pm 43Ignoring mass murder in Soviet Union and China always meant our resident lefties always had a dark side.On a smaller more human level it is only recently I realised just how twisted,bitter and truly dangerous they are. Many of them seem to exhibit symptoms of anti social mental illness….when they hate…they truly hate.
Keiraon 01 Sep 2008 at 1:08 pm 44Great post Johnny Ed’s Baby. I never fail to smile when I see a Downs person. Our family adopted 17 kids (most with “special needs”) and my parents were only school teachers.
My Downs sister was adopted at the age of 9 months from her parents in New York. She was a twin and her brother was “normal” so after months of having her in their home they decided that they didn’t have enough room in their apartment (somehow I imagine that their house was less full than ours and I don’t see them choosing to take this option with a “normal” kid) and just got rid of her. The thought of what her mother missed out on haunts me. A more loving, sweet spirit would be hard to find. But at least they had her.
Blackiswhite, Imperial Agent Provocateuron 01 Sep 2008 at 1:16 pm 45Rusty James:
It is really very simple. Ignorance, as exhibited by the young and naive on the left can be cured, with the proper infusion of clue. I know. I used to be one of them.
Willful stupidity, however, as demonstrated by Saint Andi of the Perpetually Wringing Hands, The Huffington Poo, The Kostards, the Dummie Underground, and less read geniuses such as Faraci and Wells, is likely incurable and should have the light of reason, logic, and fact shined on them as much as possible, less they continually mislead the more feeble-minded among us.
tranquilitason 01 Sep 2008 at 1:21 pm 46Thanks for sharing that story from Rich Lowry.
I’m close to a family with a Down syndrome child. She is a delight. Yes, she is a challenge at times but they are awesome parents. I marvel at them. They were in their early 30’s when she was born. They tell me she has taught them and their family and friends so much about love.
Stephanieon 01 Sep 2008 at 1:22 pm 47Here is what Rusty James resident asshat from Kos said:

Notice something…no substance, no logic but alot of hot foul air.
Rusty Jameson 01 Sep 2008 at 1:51 pm 48You guys speak in some esoteric code:
“Rusty James resident asshat from Kos” ????
“Saint Andi of the Perpetually Wringing Hand” ????
I have no idea what you guys are saying. If there’s a poster on Daily Kos named Rusty James it’s definitly a different guy.
But in any case I’d like to clarify something. I’m not defending what Devin said. I love his writing but he’s a notorious bitter loud-mouth jerk. Pretty much every post of his in the chud forums is obnoxious.
But you guys aren’t just complaining about it. Dirty Harry is clearly claiming that this is actually some kind of violation of your civil rights or something.
Devin Faraci “questioned David Zucker’s insanity”?! As if Dr. Faraci diagnosed Zucker and tried to have him institutionalized.
And the poopy storm you guys throw at the drop of a hat is infuriating for it’s irony free lack of self awareness. You moan and complain about the mean spiritedness on the left but then posts like this go without mention.

Stephanie, I keep trying to make time to address your particular brand of uninformed vitriol, hopefully this week. In the future, if you’re trying to insult me, calling me a peculiar fashion accessory isn’t going to cut it. Try talking about my mom, she’s a stand up gal who worked hard to raise my brother and I by herself.

Stephanie and I discussed DS babies in another thread. Growing up in the 60’s they were part of the community and neighborhood. It’s sickening to think today 90% of them are aborted. George Will has a great story when his son John who was born in 1972 with DS and the hospital asked them if they wanted to take him home. They were shocked of course and as Will recently said he is a wonderful person that is a joy to his family. It wasn’t hard to know how he feels about Sarah and Todd.
Stephanieon 01 Sep 2008 at 2:24 pm 51I just hate people like you Rusty. Your a leftwing punk. A waste of space.
Stephanieon 01 Sep 2008 at 2:30 pm 52Someone talked about your Mom Rusty? Hmmmm OK?
Brooksieon 01 Sep 2008 at 2:38 pm 53Johnny Ed’s Baby:
I loved it that Rich Lowry posted the story of Ian on the plane.
The DS people I’ve known in my life have been angels, positive angels. (Who knows? Sometimes we do entertain angels in our presence.)
It’s miraculous. It’s immensely touching and RELAXING to be around these special people with their full, total acceptance of others.
Where do they get that special gift of joy?
I can well understand why DS children are often the family favorite.
Rusty Jameson 01 Sep 2008 at 5:23 pm 54You just hate people like me. Well that’s a reasonable and not at all insane opinion to have about someone whom you’ve never met and know nothing about. Instead of telling me about what a “left tard” I am why don’t you try asking me about my political opinions, which I actual have spoken very little about on this site. At least then your petty insults might be more specific.
Come to think of it, you haven’t spoken much about your political opinions either. It’s just “rage rage rage, I worked for a congressman and someone was mean to me, rage rage rage”
I think the ethical dilema being discussed here is very interesting. At what stage in the pregnency is DS detectable?
MovieBobon 01 Sep 2008 at 8:44 pm 55Yeah… holding up Devin Faraci as representative of anything other than a self-hating film geek with ONE tired schtick - taking mean-spirited cheap shots at nerd culture for quick attention and “look at me!!!” web traffic - doesn’t really seem fair to whomever you’d be trying to associate him with. NOBODY takes this guy seriously; it’d be like blaming the every working author for the existance Laurel K. Hamilton.
Rusty Jameson 01 Sep 2008 at 9:00 pm 56I take him seriously, as a film critic I think he’s great. But as a human being (or at least as far as he comes across on the tubes) he comes across as bitter and mean.
The Majoron 01 Sep 2008 at 9:05 pm 57Rusty James said:
“I think the ethical dilema being discussed here is very interesting. At what stage in the pregnency is DS detectable?”
With In Vitro, testing can be done before implantation. Chorionic villus sampling can be done at 10 weeks, amniocentesis at 13-18 weeks. Using a combination of tests and ultrasound, first trimester detection approaches 95%.
Gov. Palin’s age at the time of her pregnancy greatly increased the odds of having a DS baby. Because of this, she likely knew of her child’s condition for more than half of her pregnancy.
The suggestion that she purposefully tried to put the child at risk by flying back to AK is beyond ludicrous. Leakage of amniotic fluid does not mean she was in labor, though 80% of women will start labor within 24 hours of membrane rupture. Since her Obstetrician had to INDUCE labor upon her return, she was obviously NOT in labor. The truth is, she had plenty of time to return to Alaska and have her own physician manage delivery. Continuity of care is very important to expecting mothers… and also happens to be sound medical practice whenever practical.
Nothing sinister about Palin’s actions. What’s sinister is the outrageous slander spewing forth from vile leftist anencephalics.
Mike Kriskeyon 01 Sep 2008 at 9:22 pm 58A couple of recent comments from DailyKos:
And:
This is the mindset of our opposition. (I’d venture to guess that Keith Olbermann would nod approvingly upon reading these.)
The Anchoresson 01 Sep 2008 at 10:10 pm 59Obama better put a stop to this; they’re going to RUIN him.
Palin was traveling early enough in her pregnancy - she was not in her ninth month. She knew her body and was experienced in child birth. She contacted her doctor and told him what was going on. She and her doctor made a decision.
I thought the decisions made between a woman and her doctor were not to be questioned?
These people, who did not know of this woman 4 days ago, have immediately aimed their arrows directly into the heart of her woman hood. I never say this sort of thing but I’m tired and I’m sickened by these goings on. This is EVIL. This is FOUL.
But it will backfire on them. This is a tough woman, and she’s not going to back down or “go home” for them.
And everytime these cretins open their mouths, they entrench her supporters (I sent McCain more money tonight and bought a lawn sign) and they make more women (particularly the centrists and independents) see that these people, who have talked a good game about women and choices and careers and families, are shockingly sexist.

Y’know what I LOVE about this? I mean aside from the established fact that I love having examples of human stupidity around just for a quick “well, still better off than THAT guy” ego pick-me-up I mean…
I LOVE the fact that this kid probably doesn’t even realize that his argument here is the EXACT argument being used to justify rendition, aggressive-interogation, wiretaps, pre-emptive war and just about every other Bush policy that he (and, for the record, I) probably has a HUGE problem with.
When you get right down to it, depressingly few people on the right or left REALLY have ideals or principals - just “whatever helps my side at the moment.”

Good to see you over here. You have a great blog.
Sarah Palin is tougher than the other ticket combined and all the kos kids and Alan Colmes are doing is celebrating in the eye of the storm. The liberals occupying the offices of the NY Times and Wash Post are laughing at this hick McCain picked and shake their heads how a politician can be so stupid.
In the meantime people all over the country see in Sarah Palin and her family their friends, their neighbors and themselves. The echo chamber of the msm gives Democrats a false sense of security and McCain/Palin willgive them a kick in the crotch in November.
Stephanieon 02 Sep 2008 at 7:01 am 64Hey Anchoress good stuff over there!
These people who are clamouring now are being told that they need to shut up. Susan Estrich was saying it on FOX News. As much as I despise taht woman hers is a voice of caution. But the moonbats are not gonna be stopped. Even the slobbering MSM is now into the character assasination of Sara Palin. My attitude if she and her family can tolerate the scrutiny (Id dare Olbermann to go up to Todd Palin and say something hate filled…..Olbermann would be in the hospital and Todd would be chaired through the halls as a hero) then just kick ass. Period. If she can kill a moose, gut it and cook it then she can take on these pissants. And they are pissants.

I had to agree with Estrich this morning - never thought I’d write that.
But the moonbats hate her as much as they hate anyone that did throw rose petals for Obama to walk on as soon as he started his campaign. Unless you are a true believer you are nothing but a GOP operative.
Todd Palin would have to get behind Sarah to give Olberman a beat down. And after Todd Track would have his shot. Then Bristol. Then Willow. Then Piper. And for good measure Twig would mop the floor with him. I picture it like the scene in Airplane where they passengers line up to slap the screaming woman.
CTDeLudeon 02 Sep 2008 at 10:21 am 66How many times have I called him out and his craziness here? Plenty.
THAT is what I mean. THAT is why I don’t go to CHUD anymore. Because of people so unhinged like seen above.
And he’s got plenty more in the tank if you wanted to dig around.
Jake Was Hereon 02 Sep 2008 at 10:52 pm 67I’ve known this Faraci character was a douche of incredible proportions for something like six years now. The gradual de-evolution of C.H.U.D. in the wake of 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Michael Moore’s last Oscar win was my first real, upfront exposure to Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Sarah Palin Story to Entertain All Week [Forecast]on 03 Sep 2008 at 12:45 pm 68[…] her unstable and cryptic schedule the day of Trig’s relationship are grounds that Palin was trying to drive a miscarriage. This is unearthly and horrible clog and the rattling behave of suggesting it will make pleasant […]
Philon 04 Sep 2008 at 10:31 am 69Well, it is odd that Palin would (a) have gained so little weight while pregnant with Trig that, at seven months along, no one around her would have realized that she was pregnant, and (b) would have delayed getting to a hospital — and by-passed several better equipped facilities to get to the one she ultimately went to — almost twenty hours after having an amniotic fluid leak.
While Palin’s religious beliefs pretty clearly made it unacceptable for her to surgically terminate (abort) her pregnancy, what are pro-life views on doing things that might jeopardize the life of the unborn child, like not eating right and risking sepsis by delaying hospitalization after experiencing labor symptoms? If abortion is murder, then isn’t choosing to fly across half a continent with amniotic fluid leaking reckless endangerment? Most of what I have seen from physicians about Palin’s flight-while-on-the-verge-of-delivering suggests that it was darn close to unconscionable.
Mike Kriskeyon 05 Sep 2008 at 8:27 pm 70Are you still claiming that Palin’s son is actually her grandson? Honestly?
As far as her acting recklessly, maybe she felt more confidence in her own doctor in what was obviously a difficult pregnancy. She may have been wrong, but there’s no evidence that she had anything but her child’s best interests in mind.
