If Obama said Bristol Palin's pregnancy is off limits, why are you all still talking about it?

Question

You got so touchy when someone mentioned that Obama's campaign was smearing the Palin's over this, and defended Obama by screeching, "he said it was off limits".

So, is it off limits or not? If Obama says he doesn't want it to be an issue, why are you, his supporters, continuing to make it an issue?

If Obama must be defended from those who accuse him of such smearing, why don't you feel it is wrong for YOU to participate in the SAME BEHAVIOR?

Is it because you are anonymous here, and thus feel unaccountable for indecent behaviour that your candidated demands you cease?

Answer 1

Nicely said.  You get a star.

Answer 2

it's off limits to him, not to us.

just like reverend wright and others were off limit to mccain but not to you.

oh i forget, they weren't even off limit to mccain. well, obama is a better man than he.

Answer 3

McCain also says he thinks it should be off limits to accuse Obama of being a Muslim.

So there you go.

Payback is a b***h, ain't it?

Answer 4

Yeah, he said her pregnancy. He didn't say anything beyond that. He didn't say not to talk about how her pregnancy reflects her mother's judgment and leadership/motherhood skills.

Answer 5

Well, the libs can't put a porcupine in a barn, light it on fire, and expect to make licorice.

(Oh come on.  That was funny.  Thanks Dana Carvey!)

Answer 6

Do you think his word is the gospel or something? Last I checked, we weren't living in a communist country. NEXT...

Answer 7

Because McCain walked right into this one.  Maybe he should have checked an unknown out beyond the surface.

It is funny how Republicans can't stand their own medicine!

Answer 8

Obama said it was off limits.  The rest of us live in a free country to say and express what we want about this issue and anything else that happens in this election.  My problem with this whole situation is that I am sure it was mostly Republicans that were so ready to jump all over Lynn Spears and her daughter getting pregnant and how awful and terrible a mother she must be, but yet Palin is a saint because of it?  If the Republicans weren't such hypocrites then the rest of us wouldn't be having a field day over this.  

Answer 9

Simply put - because we are not the media.
