Yesterday, Palin asked the media to respect her daughter's privacy, so why does she parade her today?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/story//ap/20080902/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_palin_daughter

Answer 1

by "respect privacy" they mean "don't say anything bad"

they want the media to say all the good stuff though...  

Answer 2

It's a case of do as I say, not as I do. Classic Republican hypocrisy.

Answer 3

Palin is a hypocrit and a bad mother. How dare she puts her daughter under this type of pressure. Having a degree in journalism, she should have known the media would tear this up.

Answer 4

For this reason:  The media has no business in meddling in the life of a candidates children.  Palin is running as McCain's running mate, not her children.

On the other hand, we love our kids and we're proud of them even when they make mistakes!

So why shouldn't Palin "parade" her family around?

If she had a child with one eye right in the center of her forehead, should she hide that child?  Should the media be allowed to call her child a "cyborg?"   It's the same thing.  She loves her daughter.  Her daughter is a member of the family and most of all the girl is human!

Answer 5

er...typical Republican hypocrisy?

We can use her and her "soon-to-be" husband to show how great we are for "choosing life" (while wishing to deny everyone in the future that same right to choose), but you can't use her to impune the effectiveness of the abstinence-only education we wish to foist on the nation.

Answer 6

Funny how republicans are thinking this issue is no big deal. But

when it is Bill Clinton or Edwards, they didn't get any privacy. Palin

supposely for family values. Her teenage daughter is pregnant, her

husband has a drunk driving record and she being investigated. Is

this who idea of family values?

Answer 7

McCain put Obamas kids in an Ad didn't she know this. Palin is the one whom is putting her career first not her kids. There has been some speculation if this kid is the real father of the child.

I hope Palin knows it's open season on you if you are in politics or a celebrity welcome to the states.

Answer 8

Shameless attempt to politically cash in on the sensationalism. Apparently Palin's political ambitions really come before anything else in her life like the privacy and peace of her pregnant daughter

Answer 9

I'd rather blame this one on poor judgement more than I would plain hypocrisy.

When deciding whether an action was taken on meanness or stupidity, chose stupidity, either way you're still right.

Answer 10

Yesterday was focusing in by the media networks on Gustav...

Today was focusing in on the Palin thing... and how did she Parade her? Is she in charge of the talking points at Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN now? The media talks about what they want to talk about. I didn't know she was having her daughter make speeches today, and such.

and to the first response on the thread... so a daughter getting pregnant is equal to using racial hate speech? Or worshiping under someone who does?

Answer 11

If she wants privacy for her family she consider taking a job where she won't be the 2nd most powerful person in the world.

She is one of those evangelical nut jobs who thinks it's her duty to judge others and tell them what's right or wrong. I'm sorry, but those people are the garbage of the world in my opinion. They're no different than the Taliban or any other terrorist organization. She wants laws made that cater to her ignorance and the ignorance of Christianity.

The last thing we need in our govt is a crazy religious woman who subscribes to medieval science and beliefs. I think those of us Americans with an IQ of 50 would prefer somebody a little more grounded an rational.

Neo-Cons are crazy people with very little grip on reality. Their reality consists of one news station and a lot of hate. I know this sounds messed up but I would totally support their genocide or deportation from our country. They destroy everything they touch and incite violence and hatred everywhere they go.  

Answer 12

She is demonstrating the courting ritual of Alaska (if you look closely at the happy groom, there will be a sawed off shotgun at his back).

Answer 13

Because she's a hypocrite.

Answer 14

It'll be interesting to see if they treat her as harshly as they did Obama on the Rev. Wright thing.

Answer 15

cuz the fundamentalist sect of her brain tells her all is forgiven ; she does not even clue into the fact that she is throwing bristol in front of the bus.

Answer 16

Because they needed a day or two to figure out how to properly spin it and wire the money into the father's bank account so that marriage would happen.
