Palin "Joke"
"In Saturday Night Live’s second attempt to mock this year’s vice presidential race, a sketch lampooning The New York Times as out of touch has instead touched off a firestorm by casually throwing out a much more insidious inference — incest — between Todd Palin and his pregnant, teenage daughter, Bristol....
...Conservative bloggers are infuriated over the incest joke, most particularly because it plays off claims earlier this month that 17-year-old Bristol Palin is the mother of Trig Palin.
Bristol Palin is five months pregnant and therefore could not be Trig’s mother, John McCain’s campaign noted earlier this month in efforts to diffuse widespread and unfounded gossip that surrounded Trig’s maternity.
Still, left-wing conspirators dissatisfied with that response, have argued that Trig Palin, who was born with Down syndrome, a much more frequent occurrence in women over 40, could have been the outcome of incest, which also increases the odds of the disability.
Now, some bloggers are urging protests of the show be sent to producer Lorne Michaels. The video was not posted on the SNL Web site.
Editor’s Note: When this story was originally published at 12:07 pm ET, the video was available on YouTube. It has since been removed and a notice posted that NBC Universal has issued a copyright claim. Many other SNL videos remain on YouTube."

This is what SNL does. Who's suprised? I didn't see the bit, but as it read, it didn't appear that funny or that damaging.
I've said it a hundred times since she was introduced as VP candidate, the dems are desperate. They will stop at nothing. Look out for more negativity.

I happen to like SNL, d_dave. I'm not surprised, but it was a bad choice, IMO, even for them.
I was more surprised by the information at the end of the article. I guess I've had my head in the ground, because that's the first I'd heard of it.

I don't get how a Holy-Ghost filled person can sit through SNL and not feel any conviction.
Okay, go ahead and bash me.

Good for you. I agree 100% abour SNL and half of what is on TV. Our pastor was saying next season there will be 16 open gays in TV shows. When the church taught against TV it was a clean entertainment. Not like today. The sitcoms are among the most corrupt. I've never enjoyed them since I Love Lucy and the Newly Weds.

This kind of thinking isn't popular you know.
Christianity today (including many who are under the Apostolic umbrella) feels they can get as close to the world as they want and it will never harm them or thier children.

Well, the thing is, Jason, if I'm watching a show and something comes on that is unacceptable to my conscience, I simply turn it off or watch something else.
The show I've most recently sworn off of is Oprah--and she's so "family-friendly." Right. LOL!!!! Her insidious agenda and indoctrination of the masses is way more offensive to me than SNL.

it took you until recently to give up on oprah? how about after sept 11th when she all but endorsed islam as a legitimate peacful religion, and the shows where she got religious leaders from several religions and say that all religions worship the same God.
Now, I'm not ripping on you bratty, but just thinking aloud, where has our coviction as a movement gone? No wonder our churches are becoming more carnal year by year.

I didn't see that show. I don't exactly tune in every day. The only thing I have time to watch right now is CNN or FoxNews when I first get up in the morning and maybe a movie on Friday night. There for awhile Oprah seemed like she was nearly a Jesus freak, then it quickly went over the edge into generic "spirituality."

No problem, Jason. I'm sure we could all use a reminder to "check ourselves" in regard to what we're watching. We run a pretty tight ship in our house, in regards to what we watch and what the kids watch. SNL is one of my few (many?) vices...along with Johnny Lang.
Oh dear. Maybe this is the time to confess that my favorite scene from "Superstar" with Molly Shannon is when she french kissed a tree.
Or not. Oh well. Too late.
Maybe the Lord will forgive me.
