The Internet rumors claimed that Sarah's baby, Trig, born four months ago with Down syndrome, wasn't really hers but her daughter's. They plucked some photos from the Internet, photos out of sequence, to make it appear as though Gov. Palin hadn't been pregnant, proving once again that on the Internet, the casualties are credibility and civility. Reading it, you could almost hear the saliva dripping from their teeth as they typed anonymously.
And this:
I don't know if Komodo dragons can type, but their mouths are so full of bacteria that if they bite your leg you'll likely die. This anonymous Komodo was probably in mommy's basement, perhaps with a bowl of Chex Mix and a Diet Coke nearby.
That's the charitable explanation. I really would like to know this person's identity to see if indeed it is some pimply kid in somebody's basement or whether the person was a paid operative. He or she spent a LOT of time on those posts, which were transparently bullshit on their face. The person reminded me a little bit of the notorious "Buckhead" on Free Republic who alleged the Killian memos were forgeries (NEVER proven, by the way).
In the end, it's all about sexism.
By the way, Clinton was as much a victim of it as Palin.
