**Image Below The Fold**
This one was all over the net yesterday. Apparently, a poster at the radical nutroot site, DemocraticUnderground, created a fake listing for someone pretending to sell baby Trig on ebay. The faux listing read "Baby used prop newborn boy 3-6 months special needs," and included a description that called Governor Palin a "pushy social climber, unwilling to let pregnancy and children stand in the way of ambition." It also listed baby's Trig's father as "unknown."
Originally appearing on the DemocraticUnderground at around 1PM on September 4, by DU poster Bob Weaver, the thread was soon locked by DU moderators and the image scrubbed from the site. But not before a screen shot was taken...
No one should be surprised by the tastelessness exhibited by the extremists on DU, but one thing I found most interesting was the disgust showed by several Hillary supporters and Hillary message board websites. On Hillbuzz several commenters expressed their disgust with these sorts of tactics and the folks posting at the Hillary Clinton Forum were just as disgusted.
These sorts of juvenile antics will surely come back to bite Barack Obama. Certainly the Hillary supporters seem to find themselves farther and farther from being able to pull the lever for Obama because of the undue vitriol heaped upon Governor Palin, a strong female candidate.
For sure, Obama's surrogates are not helping his cause.

Ignorance knows no bounds
September 9, 2008 - 06:27 ET by Indiana JoeI'm going to assume that most of the Kos Kidz are too young to remember the 60s. So I guess they wouldn't recognize that "pushy social climber, unwilling to let pregnancy and children stand in the way of ambition" would be a way for those against women's rights to describe women who were not willing to stay at home, "barefoot and pregnant." So, that makes them, in the vernacular, "sexist chauvenist pigs."
I guess you haven't come a long way, baby.

You really couldn't make
September 9, 2008 - 07:53 ET by motherbeltYou really couldn't make this stuff up. There's no road too low.
And these are the people who say Democrats need to learn to fight dirty. What do they consider "fighting dirty" for crying out loud, if this is deemed "funny"?
Just when you think they can't sink any lower, they exceed your expectations.
No road too low?
September 9, 2008 - 08:30 ET by CortillaenWell, I doubt we'll be seeing many of them taking the low road to Scotland anytime soon. Of course, even that wouldn't be a reprieve from their shrieks: They'd come back to haunt us as banshees.

Just when you think liberals hit rock bottom
September 9, 2008 - 09:49 ET by kgJust when you think liberals hit rock bottom they outshine themselves. I could only hope this makes news on all the outlets. But we all know that is not going to happen.

September 9, 2008 - 08:47 ET by mom_roxSo many items on that ebay page are disgraceful. I'm glad to see the DU moderator describing it as tasteless and the Hillary supporters also condemning this.
What's the difference between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin?
One is eye candy while the other kills her own food.
Keep attacking, and Americans will take away 10 more Pts
September 9, 2008 - 09:38 ET by JayTeeThe left attack squad better "keepa you hands off" of Sarah and her kids.
We will not tolerate these kinds of attacks on Sarah and kids, she is the "Average American" and represents the "Ideal" of a Mom, a dedicated Civil Servant, and small town America.
They attacked Sarah, and Americans took 10 pts. from Obama.....keep it up, and Americans will take 10 more pts., until the MSM gets the message they refuse to Understand . . . . how long is their learning curve ?
It is now the "Former MSM", mainstream no more, and the Polls/ratings are showing this to be true.
The Republican Revolution will not be Televised
Liberal learning curve?
September 9, 2008 - 11:26 ET by CortillaenWell, it's not so much a curve as it is a horizontal line, seeing as a refusal to learn from the past is the defining element of today's liberalism.

it's not failure to learn..
September 9, 2008 - 15:51 ET by UndercoverConservative...it's the inability to remember. Thanks to decades of illicit substance abuse, they lack any long term memory. Much of their memory space is "clogged with malted hops and bong resin".

Bob Weaver, the DU member
September 9, 2008 - 13:13 ET by Jinx McHueBob Weaver, the DU member who created, hosted and posted the image, also had several other images on his website, at least one of which was stolen and altered. I contacted the owner of that image and he contacted Weaver. Not only was the image and the altered version removed, but Weaver also removed several other images from his website. The really ironic part about all of this? Weaver has several scenic photos that he took on which he has placed his name for copyright purposes!
