Sarah Palin Autographs Live Baby

This is the person the GOP thinks is the best candidate to lead the United States of America. She'll sign anything they put in front of her. Including a live baby. No wonder they want her in office. Imagine the legislation they could put through under her watch.

Caption away...

Nice.

The person holding the baby's arm is applying a lot of pressure.

I doubt she'll be using this pic in future campaigns.

Look at the hand holding that baby's arm. That is abuse!

Disgusting.

'It REALLY DOES write on ANYTHING.'

When you hype stupid shit like this, it feeds the GOP media trolls. The baby is laughing, Palin's signing her onesy, and the mom is holding on to a squiggling baby to keep her from falling.

Now, how are you going to get lives for these people? :evilgrin:

.... and tell me when I can go home. That is my life.

at least that's how it looks to me.

Not having a good time and trying to escape with massive spinal contortions.

My son was very good at this activity.

You're not seeing the same picture I am

indicative of squeals of delight and joy.

I do love your folksy, happy, heart-warming interpretation of the photo, however. It's so damn positive and good-feelin' that she ought to use it when she campaigns for the family values crowd.

Squeezed my own arm for comparison, mine has no baby-fat -

I made deeper impressions with no pain

Those that want to convince us that Sarah Palin is indeed evil,

give us facts, or your own hyperbole will give her credence

are not happy. Often they do that when you place them in a stroller and they don't want to be confined. They arch their back to try to get away.

Moreover, to believe otherwise would be to believe that the smiling mother and everyone else there is indifferent to the alleged suffering of the child. So unless you think that all of those people are stupid and evil, then you are seeing what you want to see.

keep these two entities relevant and in the news cycle. There is just something about the gleeful tone that feels canned. But that's just my paranoid mind.

I have too many conservative/republican/christian family members who believe the crap that they are fed by GOP talking heads. I want this warped kind of thinking (especially as it relates to racism on FR or the glorification of ignorant politicians, like Palin) to be brought into the light and discussed.

I think too many liberals dismiss the inherent hatred and violence that is simmering in the republican party and then they are shocked when a wacko kills a doctor or teens at a Palin rally scream, "Kill Obama!"

I'm gleeful today because mainstream media is finally reporting on the negative, and in my opinion, dangerous elements of the republican agenda.

and this nit-picky misrepresentation is just reaching and not accurate.

what it thinks, feels or how it's treated.

Hyperbole and exaggerations, of course but why suffer a baby when it's obvious it doesn't want to participate?

:hi:

come to think of it, i can see now how "unrec'ing" can be a useful feature. :shrug:

Look again.

Yes, I have seen the other poster's blow-up of the shot. I'd really have to take a photo of myself laughing virtually upside down to know what my face would look like in that position. However, I have held a baby who was laughing and who looked exactly like that baby in the pic.

Moreover- let common sense be your guide. Sarah Palin is a politician, who as a rule do not like to be photographed laughing while a child is in distress. Sarah Palin is a mother, and mothers do not general laugh while babies are in distress. The mother of the child is laughing, and mothers do not generall laugh while babies are in distress. The person taking the photograph is a New York Times photographer and the article is written by a New York Times author, neither of which would be expected to let something usefully bad go without comment, and yet the article doesn't say that the child is upset.

Sarah Palin is a big enough POS that she will provide a steady stream of embarrassing moments for us to call her on; this simply isn't one of them.

"You make the incisions here and here to remove their heart and voila! They are a member in good standing of the GOP!"

for so many reasons.

Palin to baby: "Now, if you don't vote Republican, we will know, and we WILL retaliate." Baby helplessly screams "NOOOOOOOO," but to no avail. :cry: Mom supports this assault. :(

:rofl:

What sort of person would want Sarah Palin's autograph on their baby? And how many session of therapy will the kid need when she's a young teen and mom drags out this picture?

Jesus Christ -- is this woman nuts?

:rofl:

Oh, and teenage boys, too. Until they start talking on their own.

she is ready to scream!
Just check out her facial expression.

Her laughing mom should be ashamed!

Palin is a clueless dolt when it comes to
children, including her own.
I didn't expect better from her.

My terrible photo edit sorry.

THIS KID AIN'T LAUGHIN'

the flat nasal bridge and possible micrognathia. This child is miserable being held this way.

You really don't think.......

Oh I hope not.

Talk about using props.

Look at the flat nose bridge and flat face. I'd bet money that this toddler has DS.

Disclaimer: I'm no medical professional nor do I have a DS baby.

I'm going by your descriptions of what to look for and you may very well may be spot on.

the position of her ears and whether she may have DS.

awful

look at the flat nasal bridge and possible micrognathia. Poor darling, being manhandled this way. She doesn't understand why she is being tortured so a political has-been can scribble on her dress. She won't give a shit, except maybe when she finds out that Palin cut funding for Special Olympics.

Sid

Hey, Palin regarded her own kids as a political tool, so why should she regard the children of her following any differently.

Is she poking the poor thing with the pen?????
