Why the Left Attacks a Disabled Infant

William at Legal Insurrection has a great post today regarding the vicious leftist attacks on Trig Paln. They write:

The internet is full of Trig Palin conspiracy theories, name-calling and Photoshopping. No matter what month, event, or excuse, Palin haters find a reason to attack Trig.

If Sarah Palin had aborted Trig, the left would have been okay with it. If she hid Trig offstage and out of sight, all would be good. But treat the child as you would any other child, and that cannot be tolerated.

There is something about a Down syndrome child in plain view which has exposed the moral and emotional bankruptcy of the left-wing of the Democratic party. And they hate Sarah Palin because deep down, they hate themselves for being who they are.

Read it all.

Update: Another Black Conservative agrees but adds this to William's points:

William is close, but not quite there. The reason why they hate Trig and Sarah is because the two of them force people who believe in abortion to confront their actions.

Daily KOS Smear Machine Rebutted: Palin's Daughter Was NOT the Mother

The Daily KOS is a vicious, leftwing site that often expressed unabashed hatred for Republicans and conservatives. However, it outdid itself yesterday when it posted a false report claiming that "Sarah Palin is Not the Mother." The Kos diarist (ArcXIX) claimed that Palin's 17 year old daughter was the actual mother of the Down's Syndrome child, Trig Palin. They offered this "proof":

1. Photographs of Sarah Palin taken late in her pregnancy show no sign of the abdominal bump that indicates pregnancy.

2. A Photograph of Palin's daughter allegedly taken in March of this year shows the daughter with a bump, or slightly swollen belly.

The facts are as follows:

1. Photographs of Palin supplied by the Daily KOS show Palin wearing heavy coats or in an obstructed view of her abdomen. Other photographs, such as this one from ABC News, show her in profile on February 10, 2008 and her swollen abdomen is noticeable.

2. A science teacher named Elizabeth Eubanks wrote of meeting Sarah Palin and her daughter Piper in the Fairbanks airport in March 2008, and noticed that Sarah Palin was indeed pregnant. Eubanks wrote of the encounter on April 29, 2008:

There were several of us Polar TRECers waiting in the Fairbanks, AK airport
to catch our planes home. We were chatting about all we had learned when Kristen
Timm, ARCUS administrator said “ Look, there is the Hottest Governor in the
United States” as she has been publicly deemed by media and fans. Of course
I had to check out the “Hottest Governor in the US” and quickly turned to see her
pregnant (she has since had her baby) with bags and daughter in tote.

3. Palin appeared before the Hoover Institution Board on Feb 26, 2008 to discuss the Alaskan gas pipeline. A photograph of her behind the lectern shows clear evidence of her pregnancy.
...
4. The photo of Bristol Palin that the Daily Kos claims shows her pregnant does not prove any such thing. Palin's baby was born on April 18, so the daughter would have to be 8 months pregnant in the photograph. The "bump" in the photo, however, is much smaller than that. It is only a slight midriff bulge. See top photo.

It turns out that the Daily Kos photo was not from March 2008, but was in fact taken in 2006 by the Daily Anchorage News. Trig was conceived in the summer of 2007. If you count 9 months backward from April 2008 he would have been conceived in July or August 2007. Maybe Bristol just needs to lay off the sweets. In any case, she could not have been pregnant with Trig whether the photo date was 2006 or 2008.

Another photo taken by a private individual shows Sarah Palin obviously pregnant with Trig late in the pregnancy in 2008. It is the second photo from the top.
...
Conclusions: the photographic evidence and personal account of Elizabeth Eubanks appears conclusive. Sarah Palin was pregnant with Trig and is his mother.
