Liberal Website ‘Wonkette’ Pulls Reprehensible Post About Trig Palin, Issuing Half-Hearted ‘Apology’

As The Blaze reported yesterday, the liberal website Wonkette commemorated Trig Palin’s third birthday on Monday by calling him, among other things, “retarded.” Trig, Sarah and Todd Palin’s son, has down syndrome.
Here’s what Wonkette had to say about Trig on Monday:
That strange man yelling unintelligibly at Sarah Palin? He’s merely a lowly shepherd proclaiming the birth of our savior. Today is the day we come together to celebrate the snowbilly grifter’s magical journey from Texas to Alaska to deliver to the America the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin. Is Palin his true mother? Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.) It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we are privileged to live in a time when we can witness the greatest prop in world political history.
Well after pretty much everyone denounced the post as “reprehensible” and “disgraceful”–and after some advertisers bailed on Wonkette–the liberal blog decided to pull the story. And issue an apology.
Wonkette editor Ken Layne originally attempted to defend the post but eventually removed Stuef’s byline from it and added an apology that was less of an apology and more of a defense of the post as supposed political satire and attempting to paint a picture of Sarah Palin as someone who uses her son as a political prop.
The Wonkette apology is titled “Rude Post Deleted By Editor; Author Apologizes.”
It reads:
A post on this page satirizing Sarah Palin using her baby as a political prop was very badly done and sounded like the author was mocking the child and not just Sarah Palin/Sarah Palin’s followers.
The writer, Jack Stuef, has apologized for it. And we have decided to remove the post as requested by some people who have nothing to do with Sarah Palin, but who do have an interest in the cause of special needs children. We apologize for the poor comedic judgment.
Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher, who issued a stern denunciation of the original Wonkette post, does a good job explaining the lead up to the apology in this post. He concludes:
On the subject of Wonkette’s deletion, I am of two minds. [Wonkette editor] Layne’s original decision to leave it up had the benefit of being both journalistically transparent, and a permanent shame-monument.
On the other hand, it also served as a sort of perpetual frag grenade, injuring anew every time it would be viewed. For that reason, I suppose the deletion is a good thing.
What’s not so good is Layne’s description of the post, which may be honest in his own eyes, but is far from accurate. That’s the downside of this approach, but there’s nothing preventing Wonkette from adding a fairer description.
In another post, Christopher details an exchange he had with Wonkette’s editor (prior to the Wonkette apology).
I emailed Wonkette Chief Editor Ken Layne to see if he had any comment, or if Wonkette intended to take the post down.
Layne responded thus:
On whose account are you requesting that Jack Stuef remove a post mocking Sarah Palin’s well-documented use of her special needs child as a political prop? Is this coming from Mediaite? Which editor?
Christopher shot back, “I’m not asking THAT you remove it, just if you’re going to.”
Layne, defiant as ever:
So Mediaite wants you to encourage political satire websites to remove items that offend those who support the targets of the mockery? That seems awfully strange for Mediaite. Which editor is encouraging this, is what I’m asking.
Read Christopher’s response to this here.

Posted on April 21, 2011 at 7:48pmInteresting thing about progressives, when they can’t attack the message, they attack the messenger. You can easily tell who they fear the most, the ones who they attack. They fear Sarah so much, they will stop at nothing to bring her down. Nothing is off limits to them. Remember: The ends justify the means.

C. Schwehr
Posted on April 21, 2011 at 8:04pmThe attack story wasn’t meant to be funny…it was intended to induce pain in the Palin family because Sarah Palin is still perceived as a primary enemy of Barry Soetoro and the Progressive Party (formerly known as democrat). The Progressive Party, since it co-opted the democrat party has learned that there can be NO limits to what is allowable in their attacks on their enemies. And I would not be surprised to see one morning that a progressive operative had attempted an assasination on Palin or some other well known conservative that might threaten the re-election of their messiah. Our country is being taken from us as we watch…..

If you don’t want people talking about you then stop parading the family in front of the media. Palin has no one to blame but herself.
________________
Actually, Killa, you DO condone it. It’s tit-for-tat with you, isn’t it? If it wasn’t, you would stick to the debate at hand. If you weren’t okay with this matter in some way, you would just say outright, “This is over the top” and there would be no equivocation, no half-assed left-handed defense as you are trying to make.
YOU did not condemn this horrid thing at the start, and leave it be. You keep trying to find a way out.

Posted on April 21, 2011 at 11:14pmFunny that you said that Beck called Obama a racist—I seem to recall him saying something completely different and in the form of a question. And the fact is—there is a lot of proof backing up that question. Obama IS a racist. But apparently you can‘t call someone what they are if it isn’t politically acceptable. Welcome to hell.
As for Christopher–I congratulate his exchange with Ken Layne. It was amazing. He never asked him to pull it down, just questioned why the material was even acceptable. And Layne is just scum in every one of his responses—none of what he says makes any sense. However, I personally think he should have left it up. It shows the extreme tastelessness of the left and leaving it up is just more proof of their inability to argue a valid point against Palin.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 1:24amThat’s a damn lie because Glenn Beck never had 300 sponsors. And I see he is NOT lacking any sponsors now.

Yeah…‘a way out’ as I said.
That’s what you seek, isn’t it? A way out.
Dodge all you like, Killa. I don’t care. You and I are as we are, and the people here will decide of us both, as they choose.
I have nothing to prove. You, however, seem to need validation. Sort of like a serial killer.
Do what you need for your own head, your validation.
The story here is that a baby was attacked by liberals like you. A helpless child that is too young to grasp the expansive thing we can discuss.
And YOU and your kind use that child as a weapon.
Do what you gotta do, Killa. Whatever works for you, that you can somehow suck up a win.
I don’t need a win. I’m fine.
But, for once, I’d like talking to an honest liberal. A real one.
YOU don’t qualify.

BTW, killa…
YOU did not condemn the horrid attack against a Downs child.
That tells me, and any others who might be around, that YOU favor the horrid assault against that toddler. Since YOU refuse to condemn the attack, it’s obvious YOU are in favor of it.
Glad to have you in the open.

The Socialists thought the take over would be much easier they were not ready for Glenn Beck… God how I will miss this man on Fox …a very bad move for FNC and us… I wish he would stay on thru the 2012 election… we are going to need him.

IMHO I feel Bill O’ has been very opportunistic as far as his friendship with Glenn Beck.. just sayin’

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 3:13pmUmm, Killa, Do you have any idea what 300 advertisers are? I know that is the number thrown around, but think about it. Beck or anyone is lucky they have 10-20 sponsors. Just setting the record straight.
