I Don't Want to Hear About Rush Limbaugh Joking about Chelsea Clinton Ever Again

Not after the nastiness the Left has shown towards Sarah Palin's son Trig.

As Le-gal In-sur-rec-tion notes, if Palin showing her baby on stage makes him "a prop" and fair game, then Sasha and Malia are, as well. Well, except that we know about the howls we'd hear if someone Photoshopped Stalin, an alien or even a halo over the faces of those children.

I've never quite understood the antipathy leftwingers have for kids of Republican politicians. It's already apparent that they don't want children of their own (you can read most any liberal blog and hear feminists, in particular, bitching about the nasty breeders), but why attack others who have them? I'm all for that freedom to choose. If you don't want 'em, don't have 'em--and I'm not talking about aborting 'em.

But Trig Palin seems to bring out the sort of visceral dislike in liberals that we usually see the usual suspects ascribe to Republicans regarding welfare queens. The only difference, of course, being that welfare queens have some control over their state, whereas children are just, well, children.

And in Trig's case, he's a Downs Syndrome child, which seems to drive those moonbats even crazier than normal. It truly is the only explanation for their constant outrage at his existence. Why bother showing a picture from a year ago? Democrats won the election, but they are still seething about a one year old boy who had the audacity to live, rather than die for the cause of a woman's right to choose, I guess. These tasteless acts are every bit as bad as any Obama Buckwheat comparisons, so be sure to note it the next time Amanda Marcotte or whoever writes a "The GOP is despicable because the racists have Obama Waffles for sale" screed.
