Blogger Railroaded for Exposing Sarah Palin's Maternal Negligence

According to The Hill, Susan Bruce, a campaign blogger for New Hampshire Representative Carol Shea-PorterCarol Shea-Porter, was recently forced to resign after she raised the legitimate concern about Sarah PalinSarah Palin's abysmal public treatment of her children, including her down syndrome afflicted son, Trig:

Since being selected to the Republican Ticket, Sarah Palin has made a continuous spectacle of appearing at public speaking events with Trig. Likewise, Sarah Palin has cast her unwed, pregnant, teenage daughter Bristol into the spotlight in an attempt to emphasise her "traditional family" values.

There is a gratuitous example of misplaced outrage. The GOP's complaint was that such comments wouldn't be permissible against Barack ObamaBarack Obama. And they're right.

Complaints about Barack Obama aren't permissible because Barack Obama is a responsible parent who keeps his children in school, where they belong.

However, the LAST thing that a pregnant teenager and a mentally challenged infant deserve is the agenda-driven overexposure to the stress of a political campaign.

If the Palin Family was being investigated by Social Services, the Palin children would have been placed in protective custody by now.

Susan Bruce was forced to resign because, in the absence of social services, somebody had to raise these legitimate concerns about Sarah Palin's parenting skills. And in the abscense of the GOPs family values, somebody had to be martyred for doing so.
