I just wanted to point out the the "Experience" of Palin. Beck announces to the world that her fifth child was born with "Downs" syndrome.

Down's sysndrome is primarily caused by the Mother drinking heavily during the first tri-mester, so this leads me to believe that Palin really isn't that experienced when it comes to taking care of her unborn children. We live in an educated society, and people are free to make decisions for themselves, but this doesn't really make me think that she will look out for anyones best interest except her own.

Ultimately, if something were to happen to McCain in the extremely unlikely event that he were to be throned, Palin would be another "Face" -- Another "Commander in Chimp", free to be told what to say by her masters.

Beck is so Creepy it's actually hard to watch this video, sorry.

1. Down's syndrome IS NOT CAUSED BY DRINKING while preggers.
Where the fuck did you hear that?

2. Not true
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 01:26 PM by Lifetimedem
Downs is not connected to maternal drinking in the 1st 3 months. You are thinking of FAS (Fetal Alcohol syndrome )

Like downs there is some noticeable facial characteristics but they are not usually "retarded" more often there is a learning disability marked with hyperactivity and distractibility and an inability to learn from mistakes .

Down is caused by "old" maternal eggs, as a rule ...but young women have been known to have Downs babies..possibility a genetic error

3. It's not drinking, it's her age.
A woman her age is much more likely to have a down's baby than women of around 34.

She doesn't believe in abortion (and lots of pro-choice women would keep the baby, too), but she apparently doesn't believe in birth control, either.

14. Exactly, the numbers go up at around age 31...
...the truth is, there is very little evidence as to why the 21st Chromosome "malfunctions". From my own research done to help me get ready for my son who was born with Down, it's the way in which a Woman's body processes the Vitamin B12.

6. The word "Insipid" comes to mind
If she was a Democrat Glenn Beck would have said no such thing about her.

7. 'Down's sysndrome is primarily caused by the Mother drinking heavily during the first tri-mester'
WOW, shut the fuck up.

That is so virulently insulting to many.

9. I guess Palin will throw in the "my child has downs syndrome" card when asked difficult questions.
The same way McCain breaks out the "I was a POW" card every time a tough question is asked.

11. C'mon, Beck. She's on a national ticket
I'm not interested in her qualifications to be the high priestess of an earth mother cult.

13. As the father of a child with Down Syndrome, let me just say...
...you have no idea what you're talking about. From heavy drinking? Sounds like you've been doing some heavy drinking.

15. What a daft, dense, jackass.
This is like that conservative radio show host saying that 90% of kids with autism are just faking it and that parents need to tell them to stop it with the temper tantrums.


THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM!
