Is Malia Obama fair game for attack for making a "political statement"?
This debate has been going on for a few weeks on the blog since Letterman made his crude joke about Willow Palin. I've gotten a lot of emails from other conservatives that are fed up with always being expected to take the "moral high ground" when it comes to dealing with the double standards of liberals being able to attack conservatives but never the other way around. Liberals made the claim that Sarah Palin's children were "fair game", because Palin "put her children out their in the public eye". Well take a look at this picture. For some reason I mistook the picture originally for Michelle Obama, but this picture is actually of Malia Obama in Rome Italy. Italy is where the G8 summit will take place. The Obama children have been seen more times in public then the Bush Twins or Chelsea Clinton ever were combined. If a candidate's child or children become politically active, should they still remain off limits to criticism and attack? This picture of Malia wearing a peace symbol Tshirt says no. This is is a paragraph from the Guardian UK.
Guardian UK" Given the intense sartorial scrutiny to which her parents have been exposed, it seems unlikely that the T-shirt was packed or pulled on by accident."
Guardian UK" While Barack Obama struggles to reinvigorate the G8 summit in L'Aquila,Italy his elder daughter has apparently launched her own campaign to educate the planet about nuclear. She was snapped leaving a Rome ice-cream parlour today in a T-shirt bearing the CND symbol, one of the world's most recognizable and political logos."
I find it odd that Malia would wear such a shirt knowing what it stands for less then 72 hours after Barack and Russian President Medvedev signed a peliminary agreement to cut back their nuclear arsenals.
Guardian UK "A CND spokesman expressed delight at seeing the logo on a member of the first family."Perhaps Malia has been the driving force behind the administration's push towards a new disarmament deal? We'll get an 'I'd-rather-grow-up-than-blow-up' T-shirt in the post to her straight away."
If Malia Obama was making a political statement, then she should know what the consequences of her actions can be. Prominent liberal Arianna Huffington of the Huffington post said that the Palin children were "fair game" as well. I came across this headline from the Infidels's Paradise, "If The Palin Kids Are “Fair Game” Why Isn’t She?" That is a good question, and I don't have an answer for that. It does show that I'm not the only conservative thinking the same thing.

You know what Tyrone...the other day you said that you believe that conservatives should go "brass knuckles" on President Obama's family. Honestly, if you feel the need to do so, perhaps you should go for it!
You're the Blog host and author here, and if it makes you feel better to attack Obama's kid's, I think you should let it rip. Mind you, I still don't agree with attacking "any" politicians family (particularly the kids), but it appears that you deem it necessary, or as you put it..."even stevens".
So hey, have at it! I'm sure your conservative cohorts will find it refreshing and pleasurable to read low-brow humor, rank debasing depictions, or maybe even vile and profane caricatures about the presidents 11 and 8 year old kids.
I say yes these same asshats attack Bristol Palin and innocent little trig so why not. Turn about is fair play.
Or if Liberals cry foul I'll say to the miscreants if you can dish it out you can take it!

Hey Chil', I'm labeled a "Liberal". You have my word, and I'll assure you that I won't cry foul. As I suggested to Tyrone, if it makes you feel better, or if you believe it's in the spirit of fair play...go for it! If you wish you can go light, or get as vile as you think an 11 and 8 year old can be attacked!

You do have a good memory allen. Think of it like this allen. The only way to expose the hypocrisy of liberals in general is to "play by their rules" and wait for them to cry foul. A few years ago allen, a group of students at some university decided to bring some attention to the issue of reverse racism. It was merely and experiement in what they did, and they got the results that wanted. The university had a "black student union" another race specific organizations. So what these students did was create a "white student union". They got a tremendous amount of flack over it, but they did this in order to expose the hypocrisy and the one up segregation mannerism of blacks students. This is how it applies to Malia Obama allen. Liberals do not like it when their tactics against the right are used by the right against the left. If I was to have written a very very very distasteful, vile, repugnant story on Malia Obama, what would you think the reaction would be by other liberals allen? Deep down you know the answer allen. Try this on for size allen. If Piper or Willow Palin were photographed wearing pro NRA Tshirts openly a few days before major legislation was going to be passed in favor of gun owners, what do you think would happen? Do you think the left wouldn't go after Piper and Willow for "making a political statement" allen? In a truly equal nation allen, there should never be "two sets of rules".
p allen "You're the Blog host and author here, and if it makes you feel better to attack Obama's kid's, I think you should let it rip.

Didn't you use Bristol Palin as a tool in which to attack Sarah allen? If the rules of "even stevens" isn't applied allen, hypocrisy will ran supreme. The left is never ever challanged on their hypocrisy allen. Did you know that in the government health bill that Obama and other liberals want, Obama and politicians can "OPT OUT" of their own bill's plan? What is up with that allen? So government health care is
"good enough for the masses, it's just not good enough for them".
This is what I'm talking about. Liberals rally for the support of public schools YET YET YET they send THEIR CHILDREN to PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
Liberals tell us that the masses need to cut back on consumption and "live within their means" in order to "save the planet YET YET YET they fly around in their PRIVATE JETS and own MULTIPLE ENERGY CONSUMING HOMES.
I'm not making this all up. It is 14k reality, The same liberals that said Bush was "killing the troops" haven't even gave a dime to the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers or gave a dime to a charity of those that died in combat.
p allen "o hey, have at it! I'm sure your conservative cohorts will find it refreshing and pleasurable to read low-brow humor, rank debasing depictions, or maybe even vile and profane caricatures about the presidents 11 and 8 year old kids."
Just remember allen that everything you said. Your fellow libs have already done it. They are the "originators" of it. Where was your outrage then?cricket cricket cricket, never mind. ;-)

There you go ........AGAIN!!!!!
Who care's if "White" students are pissed off?? Who care's if they form their own "student union"??? I sure don't!!!
Were the "White students" pissed about the Jewish Student Union??.
What about the Arab Student Union??.
How about the Chinese Student Union??.
Maybe they would like to complain about the Japanese Student Organization??.
First off Tyrone, (unlike the workplace) student's aren't paid to attend college...THEY PAY TO ATTEND! If I pay my money to attend a ball game, I've paid to sit in the seat I bought, and where "I" wanted! When I paid for college, I paid the college "I" wanted to go to, for the classes "I" wanted, and I gathered and associated with whom "I" wanted!!
That being said, answer this question. Were those same White's clambering to break down the doors to attend school in inner city Baltimore???
CB;"Didn't you use Bristol Palin as a tool in which to attack Sarah allen?".
NO!!! Have I referred to Bristol out of her name? If I did...POST IT! And if it's truly a derogatory comment NOT BASED ON FACT, I will be the first to say I was wrong and will apologize to everyone here! The fact is Sarah Palin is a hypocrite for what came out of her own mouth. As a teenager, Bristol on did what her mother "could not" or "would not" teach her.
CB;"Just remember allen that everything you said. Your fellow libs have already done it. They are the "originators" of it. Where was your outrage then?cricket cricket cricket, never mind. ;-)".
I've already said that you can do whatever pleases you. Don't mind me....got for it! The fact is I couldn't stop you or anyone else from attacking President Obama's 8 and 11 year old kids. I must say though, that you seem a bit hesitant. All that touting about how the "brass knuckles" should be used, and the president's kids are "fair game", and "even stevens"... Aaahhhh...you're not scared are you Tyrone?? Or, are you waiting for "some other" Blog author to do your dirty work??
Why didnt obama tell the Muslims that cutting out little girls vaginas was evil not holy. His girls would have their vaginas cut out in Kenya. Prostitutes cut out their vaginas at a much later age.
5 million muslim girls have this done yearly and many die. Obama girls are not president nor was Bristol running. If Liberals mess with Palin girls then fair is fair.
Chilerkle "I say yes these same asshats attack Bristol Palin and innocent little trig so why not. Turn about is fair play.

When Bristol turned 18, I thought Bristol to a point was fair game, because she became an adult. When she was 17 and being attacked by the tin foil hat society, I said it was wrong. Liberals do cry foul when their own tactics are used against them Chilerkle. When they get fed up with it, maybe they will stop all together Chilerkle. Allen will never criticize the left's action especially when it deals with Palin's kids,because he supports it. When conservatives start to play harder smash mouth political football, then liberals will finally get the message.

Speak for yourself Tyrone! Post what, where and when I said I support attacks against Palins kids. I've repeatedly stated I'm against attacking "any" politicians kids...repeatedly! Unfortunately the same can't be said FOR YOU!

I don't support "liberals" attacking kid's, as well as conservatives (or any other political bent) attacking a politicians kids.
Additionally I see no need in making a "critical" statement in order to appease you or anyone else. It seems that you have a penchant and desire for others to do your dirty work...
Late to the party.
Children not fair game.
Thing amazes me is nobody talking about what the hell are the Obamas letting PDiddy hang with their young daughter, and what the hell he doing there anyway!? I'm thinking he's the reason for the "ghetto" comments. He may have all the money but he still a lowlife.
p allen "Speak for yourself Tyrone! Post what, where and when I said I support attacks against Palins kids. I've repeatedly stated I'm against attacking "any" politicians kids...repeatedly! Unfortunately the same can't be said FOR YOU!
I don't recall you ever saying that allen, but I will take you at your word. As for me, I don't go out of my way to attack a child of a left winger politician allen. I said that liberals need to learn that they just can't attack the children of conservatives and think no consequences will be doled out because of it. This isn't just me talking, this is what conservatives are saying. The treatment of Palin's kids has gotten conservatives pissed off to a point where they no longer care about taking the "high ground. A non violent person will eventually push back if pushed one time too many allen.
p allen ""Mind you, I still don't agree with attacking "any" politicians family (particularly the kids)".-P. Anthony"
As a liberal, when was the last time you went on a liberal blog like the Huffington Post or the Daily Kos and say enough is enough allen? Has the thought even crossed your mind?
p allen quoting me"I've gotten to a point where I now believe it is 100% acceptable for conservatives to use brass knuckle attacks on Obama and his family". Conservative Brother"
I didn't stutter and I stand by my words allen. I can print my quotes out and autograph them for you too if you like. :-)
p allen "I don't support "liberals" attacking kid's, as well as conservatives (or any other political bent) attacking a politicians kids."
So are you saying the liberals who attack Palin's kids are an embarrassment to liberalism allen?
p allen "Additionally I see no need in making a "critical" statement in order to appease you or anyone else. It seems that you have a penchant and desire for others to do your dirty work..."
I've spoke my mind from day one of this blog allen, I've also backed up my words and my deeds. You should know by now that I don't bite my tongue for anyone. I've had Republican Rino's telling me I should tone my message down. I told them to step off. Trust me when I say this allen, if the politics of personal destruction continues against Palin's kids, I will show you what "dirty work" is all about.

The party never stops around here count.lol You said that the children are not fair game. Under normal circumstances I would agree 1000%. A bully will continue to bully a child, because that bully believes the child will not fight back. Only when that child fights back will that bully realize that child isn't an "easy mark" to pick on. As long as conservatives don't fight back against the attacks by liberals on Palin and her kids, this mess will continue. As for Pdiddy, he's more then likely hanging around the kids to get some publicity. I can't think of a logical reason why and adult would want to hang around children he doesn't even know.
Tyrone, the thing is once you start acting a fool, oops, pretty soon you are one.
I'm seeing this with how conservatives are starting to "get back" and do the
"tit for tat" thing by using the foul mouth language the left like to use so much on their blogs and such.
When you allow your enemy to cause you to lower your standards, then they haven't won the war, but they won a battle in the war, and inch by inch you get changed and hardly notice what's happening.

I just wanted to make sure before I posted THIS.
Here's your opportunity to accept the attacks on President Obama's family... "100%"!! The family is referred to as "Ghetto trash" and "Mammy and Pappy." Not to be left out, Malia is referred to as a "street whore."
Frankly, it doesn't surprise me coming from Freedom Republic, as I've read many racist tirades there in the past.
It saddens me to know that you condone such ignorance. Unfortunately Tyrone, I'll have to view you in a different light...
How scandalous a peace symbol! When I shopped for my 11 year old's clothes lately 50% of them had peace symbols on them-no lie.
but really "Tyrone" if you want an eye for an eye on the Willow Palin thing you need to go after David Letterman's kids. be real
