Shannyn Moore says Palin's divorce off limits

[TexasProgresive]

50% of U.S. marriages end in divorce. So if the Palins divorce they are in the near majority. The real thing is that this alleged legal action is diverting attention from the real moral lapses that are not only immoral but illegal.

My email and voice mail are full of questions regarding the bloggosphere’s reporting that the Palins will divorce.

This is one story where I will say: leave the Palins alone.

Over half of American marriages end in divorce. Mine did. It was difficult without the national attention. I have no idea if the Palins are going through this or not, but think they should have privacy to figure out what’s best for their family. I am tempted to revel in Schadenfreude given the hypocritical nature of the “family values” pageant winner, but I wouldn’t wish divorce on my worst enemy; it’s painful.

What about the manipulation of justice accusations?! Divorce is legal. Manipulation of the justice system is clearly illegal…yet, Meg was mute. Gryphen writes about Sherry Johnston. (Mother of Levi Johnston charged with drug dealing):

“As some of you may know Sherry’s court date was moved from yesterday to August 19. The reason for this is that until just now the prosecutors REFUSED to make any kind of a deal, because of pressure they were receiving from the Governor. For some reason Palin was pushing for Sherry to receive the maximum sentence….

I cannot talk about what kind of deal Sherry may get, but the prosecution has become much more reasonable now that Sean Parnell is our Governor.”

1. Sorry, Shannyn, but Palin trotted her kids and husband across the national stage for months.

If the divorce story is true, it's newsworthy. Most of us would not have known who Sarah Palin even was if she had not so relentlessly sought the national stage.

14. Shannyn looks stupid for being the only human alive that doesn't know it's been debunked.

[Heidi]

18. Gawd, I kinda cringe for Shannyn. I've been divorced, too,

but I hadn't put my spouse (or his kids) onstage or held myself up as some sort of "family values" icon in my quest for elected office. Shannyn needs to look into the concept of common sense.

2. How sweet. And how wrong-headed. /nt

[Why Syzygy]

3. Will Palin be moving to C Street? nt

[SpiralHawk]

4. Too funny. The C Street Home for Republicon Family Values Pharisees & Hypocrites

[Why Syzygy]

5. There are many advantages for her there.

She can practice her "chosen ones" value system. She can earn hush money for sleeping around. No one will criticize her. etc.

8. She Can Become The Resident Whore.......nt

6. It's a great sentiment, Shannyn, but the world is full of assholes who will NOT leave her alone.

They play with the latest shiny object and allow themselves to be distracted from real issues.

If DU had a Tabloid Forum, the rest of us could continue with the adult conversation.

[Paladin]

9. So, As Far As You're Concerned......

....Sarah Palin (and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who worship her) doesn't constitute a "real issue," worthy of "adult conversation"?

Ignoring seemingly minor subjects has worked out so well for Democrats in the past---do the terms "Whitewater" or "Swiftboating" resonate with you at all? If this divorce thing has any validity, we ought to use it to maximum effect....

[Buzz Clik]

10. Nope. You got it wrong. Again.

Her divorce. That's the topic of this thread, and that's what I was talking about. Adult people would be curious about her divorce, but they would be mature enough to let it go.

If you equate Palin's divorce with Whitewater ... :eyes:

[chimpyisstillsatan]

15. Yes, it's exactly analogous

Especially if the "crime" (Todd/Sarah's parade of graft and corruption) happened before the alleged extramarital sexual liasons.

We can't get them to investigate torture, so we might as well grab some small victories to bring down a few evil-doers while we can.

[Buzz Clik]

16. We can't investigate torture, so let's talk about sex.

Great plan.

[Paladin]

24. Yeah, That's How It Works.

John Kerry decided to be an "Adult," and the fucking Swiftboaters just "let it go" as a result, and Dubya didn't get another 4 years in office, because everybody played by the rules........

[DavidDvorkin]

11. I'll revel

in Schadenfreude, if it turns out to be true.

Revel, revel, revel. I'm reveling just thinking about it.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. I really disagree

The Palins used their 'faith and family values' to viciously attack the GLBT community. When asked about equality during the election, she would go off about Scripture and 'one man and one woman'. Well, Jesus forbade divorce, and treble forbade remarriage. So what the fuck happened to her Jesus faith? He said no divorce, yet she divorces. And says I should never have the right to marry at all. Which Jesus did not say.
She's a hate monger getting what she has coming, and this Moore woman can go suck a glacier. Moore is doing the typical heterosexualist claptrap of insisting that MY family is open to public debate, but the marriage of a Marriage Defender who attacked my family must be a private matter? Moore's real self is showing, and it is heterosexualist bullshit.

Hey, Mooore! When Todd and Sarah were bashing equality, did you tell them MY marriage is private? Or did you just join Biden in shouting your agreement with Palin.
Hey, Mooore! Sarah used her family and marriage as image fodder by choice, and with more zeal than any one I have ever seen. She ran on a platform of 'Todd and Sarah and the kids'. I remember a supporter of theirs declaring "Todd and Sarah: Chosen Vessels of God." So please, Moore, get over it. Be nice to them if you want to. But do not expect those that they attacked using their babies as bludgeons to follow you down sympathy road.

19. Are you serious?

First, when someone copies my entire post off my site it is hard to keep up with comments...Second, it has been 3 weeks since SP threatened to sue me by name, and you think MY real self is just showing now...after all this? Hey, who ever you are, why don't you check out how hard I have fought for the GLBT in my own community, then accuse me of "heterosexualist bullshit." How dare you.
Quit whining.
I wish you would have posted this response on my actual website.

21. I hope your critics here are right wing plants.

If not, let me remind you:

Shannyn Moore was the go-to girl on the left when this sorry excuse for a politician came into national view as a vice-presidential candidate. She shed light on the history of who and how the Palins were and I for one trust her judgment! If this crowd wants to jump her now because she holds true to a higher standard, how are you all any more reasonable than the rabid right wing?

Thank you Ms. Moore. I'm sorry my supposed peers are so blood thirsty that they would malign the likes of you. Your work on this topic has been insightful and effective. The way you've been treated here is indefensible.

:spank:

25. Shannyn - I have 3 things to say to you

1) Welcome to DU.
2)I pasted part of your post + the link with the hope that others would follow it.
3) From reading your stuff I think that you are a capable writer and fair.
Thanks for the work you do in Homer.

[ShannynMoore]

27. thanks

1) Thanks
2) I appreciate getting the word out...not a prob.
3) Thanks, again.

Believe me, I've been called lots of things, but a hetrosexualist is a new one...

13. Anyone have Ken Starr's number?

Bill and Hillary are still married... Maybe media interventiion, nay, GOVERNMENT intervention could save this marriage? In the interest of families, we have no choice but to delve into this.

"I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy..." Oh boo hoo. Like it's really that bad.

[Mr. Sparkle]

22. I think it should be off limits until it is confirmed.

If the story turns out to be not true, as much as I dislike Sarah, it would be a low blow the type we generally associate with the right. Let us keep our standards of decency, while the right confirms daily that they never had any.

[Orsino]

28. I don't have a problem with a couple of reports about rumors...

...with the understanding that Immoral Minority's reputation is on the line based on what seems to be a single source. That only a miniscule portion of the Internet is being used to track the story is fine with me.

If a divorce were in the works, it might spell the end of Palin's political career. I suppose that is worth keeping an eye on.

[Mr. Sparkle]

29. I agree with some of your points, but yeah it would be nice to have some more sources to be able ..

to confirm whether the story is true or not. Because if it is not true, it is going to damage some of our friends reputations.

23. leave sarah alone!!! sob sob sob!!!

she s a human being!!

[snake in the grass]

26. Sarah Palin should go "know" herself!

She should be made to choke on her hypocrisy every single time it rears its ugly head.

That is all.
