Anything sourced from the Dailykooks would be a lie.  There are plenty of pictures showing her pregnant, she had the baby at a hospital, the coverup would have to be big.  The left is really pathetic, and shows that they realize that Obama is a sorry candidate.

That's right....always consider the source....and go from there...

The images look like they support it, sure, but since when don't pictures lie in political commentary/conspiracy theories?

I know a lot of people who could make a believable doctor of an image like the one we see and with politics so important in America, I think it's entirely likely someone has doctored the image of her daughter.

If it was a realistic claim, left-leaning media would have jumped on it already, media on both sides are hardly holding back on their propoganda (I loved the: "BREAKING NEWS: Palin is veep: How many houses do she add?" Can't remember which channel that was).

KHamul89,

Exactly.

I feel so sorry for Bristol!  I couldn't even count how many teens I've seen lately who have tummies just like hers and I'm certain they aren't all pregnant.  How horrible to be a teen and be accused of being pregnant with your own brother!

I agree that Palin didn't appear pregnant in the photos but look at Nicole Kidman.  I had a cousin whose wife, pregnant with their second child (ended up being a big baby boy) didn't look pregnant at all and was back in a bikini two weeks after having him....I hate those women!   I felt like I carried my first son in my butt and didn't look  pregnant until at least 6 months.

I have a hard time believing that someone with such a family scandal going on, being so young with plenty of years of opportunity ahead would accept the position. 

Not even the National Enquirer will go with this.  This is just sick.  I actually have a hard time believing DK, nutjobs that they are, didn't take this down.  I'm all for freedom of speech, but yikes.

New wrinkle - I just heard on Fox News that Palin has confirmed that her 17 year-old daughter is currently pregnant.

Never a dull moment.

Apparently there is an official statement from Gov. Palin about this.  Bristol Palin (the 17 year old daughter) is now 5 months pregnant.  She is planning on keeping the baby, and she and Levi (the father) are planning on getting married.

If she is 5 months pregnant now, it would have been difficult for her to have had a baby around 18 April...  That or she got pregnant again, before she had Trig, just to cover up being pregnant with him.

McCain says that he knew about Bristol's pregnancy, but didn't think it disqualified Gov. Palin.

This is just an example of how sleazy much of the left is, and how low they will go to try to disqualify a Republican candidate.

You would assume they would find an ad-hominem that doesn't involve a child with down syndrome, wouldn't you?

The hypocrisy of these loony leftist attempts to smear Palin on this issue is breathtaking.  They are either 1) quaking in their boots that her selection might derail the Second Coming, or 2) just downright f**king evil.  I'm going with both.

Are we seriously expected to believe the lefties hold the moral high ground on this?

Here is the best part.

They now believe republicans "planted" the first story just to take attention away from her daughter being pregnant.  These people are insane.

So pathetic the only thing I could do was laugh.

I'm rather disappointed the Repubs didn't claim that Trig was the spawn of Palin's illicit relationship with an Alien that the Feds have been secretly housing in Wasilla.  Claiming that Palin's daughter gave birth to Trig is so 'amateur' & was obviously very ineffective in deflecting attention away from her daughter's pregnancy.

What I find amusing about this discussion is that it reminds me of the movie "Meet the parents" where he says "Anything with nipples can nurse."

Given that Palin was breast feeding the child almost immediately one has to wonder about the intelligence of those making the charge.  How exactly does a 40+ year old woman who hasn't had another child in years gain the ability to breast feed?

Or maybe liberals just don't have children and hence are unfamiliar with the process.

Or maybe liberals just don't have nipples ;~D

Couldn't believe it when I heard that this was actually being discussed by some people and thought to possibly be true by others. Hopefully now that those same people hear the same daughter is 5 months pregnant it ought to put paid to their ideas (think about it - if you've just given birth you're likely to not get pregnant for months after, the exact delay depending on whether you breastfeed or not, making it highly unlikely that it could have happened at all, before you even consider all of the other huge holes in the story). As for how visible someones bump is, not every woman/baby is the same you know! It is possible to cover up a bump for quite some time. I can't believe people talking about this hasn't caused massive damage to the democrats tbh - I would have thought it totally abhorrent to even think of accusing someone that their child isn't theirs unless you had a ton of proof. Still, that's the internet for you
