Leave Trig Palin Alone!

Enough already! I have had it with the sickening attacks on Trig Palin! First the partisan blogger, Wonkette, made extremely offensive, and stupid remarks about Trig. Next, the not-funny comic, CK Louis makes an obscene, gut-churning rant about Trig and his beleaguered mom, Sarah Palin. In his attempt to lampoon, he spews so much bile that the piece is unwatchable.

These are bottom-of-the-barrel, dregs-of-the-earth, examples of junk media in America. There seems to be an agreed-upon rule among these hacks that it is okay to disparage a child and his disability simply because his mother is a controversial political figure. It is the selective political correctness that colors all modern political debate. If you are conservative, or the innocent child of a conservative, you have a target on your back and it is open season on every personal and sensitive aspect of your life. You can't shoot back, and you certainly can't use politically incorrect tactics to make fun of Liberals, because they will howl, gnash their teeth, and ensure that you are labeled a racist, sexist, homophobic, abusive, uneducated, inbred, Nazi, hater. The truth is that most public figures on the "left" are so insecure in themselves and their political beliefs that they recoil at the slightest intonation that they might be plain wrong.

One and all, shut up when it comes to Trig Palin. Pick on someone your own size! Sarah Palin is a tough cookie, this is true. And when she ran on the McCain ticket for Vice President she surely got a big taste of the blood and dirt of modern political debate. The attacks on her and her family, the disturbing images and words that saturate print, video, and digital media, have reached a critical mass. It is not funny. There is no political value in such public abuse. And the entire culture is eroded by the crass, and hurtful assaults on one family and their child with special needs.
