Wonkette Hits Palin on Trig

I have long held that much of the irrational hatred directed at Sarah Palin—not political opposition, but the hatred—is because she dared to knowingly give birth to a baby with Down syndrome. This suspicion is heightened by this disgusting blog entry by the Wonkette blog discussing a picture of Trig held by his sister, dressed as an elephant for Halloween. It reads:

Little baby Trig must be so glad he wasn’t aborted for this, his first Halloween, because his parents dressed him up like a political party symbol to be carried around at snarling political events. Aww. Isn’t life just grand?

The hatred is so thick you can cut it with a knife. And so is the bigotry. Ditto, the comments.
