CNN’s John Roberts: Palin Might Neglect Her Disabled Infant…Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention.
Matthew caught this, and I must say, I was stunned. Would this same question have been asked had it been a man chosen and that same man had an infant at home with Down’s syndrome:
JOHN ROBERTS: You know, there’s one other issue — we’ve talked about her experience and what depth of experience she has; the fact that maybe she tries to peel off a few women voters on the Democratic side, who really wanted to see a woman in the White House in some way, shape, or form. There’s also this issue that on April 18th, she gave birth to a baby with Down’s Syndrome.
DANA BASH: Yes.
ROBERTS: The baby is just slightly more than four months old now. Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?
Ace comes through with humor. Allahpundit is giddy about what the next 8 weeks will bring and adds this:
This is phase one. Phase two will be, “Wouldn’t a strong, responsible, authentic feminist woman have aborted it?”

Well now did you not expect, CNN Communistic News Network, not to pull Sh*t out of the toilet, to try to say she should’nt run??

According to John Roberts – maybe Joe Biden, a father of two young boys should have relinquished his Senate seat when his wife died, leaving him to deal with single fatherhood. Raising two boys alone is hard work and requires an awful lot of attention. Or, maybe, according to the Dems…. men are better equipped at handling such things?

Thank-you for that Lisa. You know, I am really ticked about that comment. If you had an emoticon with its’ head blowing off, I would use it.
I never thought of Biden, but the example is very good. I thought of Rosemary Kennedy. Maybe he can explain how Rose raised her with no help from a slew of governesses.
August 29, 2008 - 04:18 PM on August 29th, 2008
Who is John Roberts? Plastic? Wind-Up Toy. Embarrassing to the Democratic Party? And most of all, a vote-generating machine for McCain and Palin.

You got that right, for sure. Think of all the hissing, huffing, eye rolling, foot stomping the Libbies are doing over this.

Democrats are manipulative, using every underhanded, dirty trick in the book. Fisrt and foremost the try to guilt people, they vampire on peoples emotions, and kick below the belt. why? Because they are lacking in character, fair play, ethics these are the only tools they have in their back of tricks because, honesty, intergrity, ethics and character can’t get them votes. They appeal to people desperate for change and promise a pie in the sky future and then blame the Republicans when they do not follow through on their promises.
August 29, 2008 - 09:16 PM on August 29th, 2008
WooHoo for Palin, Madam Vice President to be. She is over the top. She is a Great American. Anyone who says otherwise looks like an idiot. We The People really don’t appreicate dirty underhanded tactics trying to spin nothing into something like we are to stupid to figure out they are full of lies being used against good person like Palin. Oh Please, just stop!
August 29, 2008 - 09:23 PM on August 29th, 2008
The audacity of the Demoflats saying anything negative, after their pick of Biden. They missed it and will have to eat their ‘just words.’ The Demoflats Hope just flew haywire out the window of despair. Bet ole Botox Pelosi, that got too big for her britches, is fighting mad. How gaudy and in poor taste was that Greek festival for a convention. What were they thinking, that we are impressed? We would rather see money saved, not spent out the roof.
I told you so – what goes around comes around, and wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall about now hearing what BO & MO are saying.
August 29, 2008 - 09:29 PM on August 29th, 2008
John Roberts has HUA disease, caught it from Obama and Biden, who caught it from pelosi. Yea, I don’t use a capital when I type her name, to not give her respect, as she respects no one.
August 30, 2008 - 07:55 AM on August 30th, 2008
What a pos this Clinton News Network douchebag Roberts is for even thinking up an angle like that! That just might be the second stupidest thing said by the MSM in this election, after Chris “Softball” Matthews’ statement about getting a tingly feeling in his pants whenever he thinks of Obama.
August 30, 2008 - 08:06 AM on August 30th, 2008
I think it is time that John Roberts receive something for his “hard work”
He is cordially invited to the street in front of my house to receive his reward: A severe thrashing about the head and shoulders.
The invite is, in the street, stripped to the waist, bare knuckles.
I win: he packs his gear and goes home
He wins: That ain’t gonna happen
I will even leave my glasses on. I need them to make sure every punch counts.
August 30, 2008 - 08:09 AM on August 30th, 2008
Yea right Robert, and that real-diculous blue stage Obama was on and ole big butt MO had trouble walking up and on. Man she’s ugly. What was that, designed by Britney Spears set designer, well that explain it then. I can only think of the joke, “you should be on the stage, it leaves in five minutes.” That cost everyone a pretty penney that ego Obama wants his picture on. He can only be on a penny or his true color would show through. Yea call me a racist, hey it doesn’t make me mad. I’ve decided that is a better name than I would call the Demoflats. For the first time in my adult life, I’m proud to be a racist these days, thanks to the libotards playing the race card.

Glenn can we all watch and cheer. YEA!!!! Who is this Roberts dude? I don’t ever look that boring network. For sure Roberts could care less about the baby, he just had to say something he thought was cute! Obviously he wasn’t thinking, too bad when Glenn finishes with him he won’t be able to think or speak, but will have to clean out his panties that will be full. His cute days will be over, lot of plastic surgery will be needed, or NOTTTTTTTTT.
He better watch over his shoulder from now on, he’ll be found MIA.

I don’t think Roberts can get off the hook that easily. That’s an age old tactic, when someone wants to start a rumor, or inject something like that into the debate. They’ll lead off saying “Some say that…” when they are the only ones coming up with it. We have seen MSM douchebags do this for years. How many people even knew that about Sarah Palin without doing some research? Likely mostly the weasels who have been furiously digging for anything to use against her from the moment she was announced. For bringing it up and making it public this Roberts klown is just another little pos weasel.
