Why are Republicans blaming the messenger?

Question

Why is it the medias fault for reporting that Palins daughter is pregnant? If this situation was reversed Republicans would be dancing in the street, Fix News would have a special report about Obamas pregnant 17 year old. But since this is a Republican we must keep quiet about the issue, we must not talk about pregnant 17 year old girls. BS.

Thanks John,

Answer 1

The Republicans' would not be condemning a young girl.  No caring person would.  The media and the people on these posts won't let it go though.  Some of the stuff said on these boards is horrible.   ***

Answer 2

The situation would be different if the son was g*y, getting married.

Mabe McCain would attend a military wedding at the White House.

It would be a non issue.

Answer 3

It's not the reporting of it. It's the commentary.

Answer 4

Because their only solution to this disaster is to shoot the messanger and attack the message.

How can the Republicans claim to be the party of personal responsibility and family moral values, when their own are not following the rules?
