“The Misogyny Watch at Tennessee Guerilla Women is a bracing read this evening after wading through the incredible bile produced in the latest media feeding frenzie - especially in the left-wing blogs. Headlined Misogyny Watch: Liberal Bloggers Sink to New Low, Reveal Sarah Palin's Teen-Age Daughter is Pregnant, the post begins:
“Well, kudos to the sexist vampires over at Daily Kos. Thanks to their unwavering efforts to bully and shame and humiliate 17 year old Bristol Palin and her family, Sarah Palin was forced to announce that Bristol is pregnant. We're sure the sexist progressive posers are disappointed that their soap opera fantasy is not true. Bristol is not secretly the mother of her baby brother.
“But who really cares other than a bunch of twisted low-lifers who imagine that they have a progressive bone in their foul misogyny infested bodies?
‘“Thanks to the 'progressive' kossack creeps and their followers, all of Bristol's friends and acquaintances know that the girl is 5 months pregnant. I can't even imagine how it feels to be 17 and have the intimate details of your private life -- the news of your pregnancy! -- splashed all over the internet, the newspapers and the cable news channels.
‘“Will the pundits talk about anything else this week? Will Keith Olbermann make Bristol Palin his Worst Person? As I write, CNN's Campbell Brown ponders: ‘When did John McCain know about Bristol Palin's unwed pregnancy?’ And WKJM seriously argues that prying into the private lives of teenage daughters is just part of the vetting process!”’

Palins Announce 17-year-old Bristol's Pregnancy
The Obama online shock troops had already become indistinguishable from Rush Limbaugh’s followers. There they were – a few hours after she stepped on the national stage –blanketing the Internet with hate-mongering rumors accusing Gov. Sarah Palin of lying about giving birth to her fifth child last April and suggesting that her son Trig was actually her 17-year-old daughter’s child. Even Andrew Sullivan joined the stampede to ruthlessly destroy Palin’s credibility before her candidacy could get off the ground.
Today, in an attempt to squelch the above rumors, Gov. Palin announced that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. As reported by ABC’s Jake Tapper, the statement from Gov. Palin and her husband Todd reads:
“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us.”
“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned," they continued, referring to their 17-year-old daughter. "As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support."
The Palins said that "Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
Tapper added,
“The campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who announced Palin as his running mate just three days ago, said the Palins would have no further comment.”
As to be expected, hundreds, if not thousands, of Obama supporters are piling on in readers’ comments responding to news of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy at leading left-wing Web sites. Needless to say, the barbed remarks from the lefties continue to be indistinguishable from those you might expect from the extreme right if the situation were reversed.
