Redstate Crosses the Line: Implies Incest in Attack on Levi Johnston

I started out the week reporting on a prominent liberal blogger who crossed the line of decency, and now, an influential conservative blogger has , effectively, evened the score.

In what appears to be a warning to any who would oppose GOP superstar Sarah Palin, the Managing Editor of Redstate.com has launched an all-out attack on Levi Johnston:
The left was right. Now, though, they can't be bothered by it. Below is the actual Levi - no preppy clothes. No polish. Just good old boy who knocked up the Governor's daughter. Not exactly the image Tyra Banks and he would like you to think about.
The picture he's referring to is this one, picturing Levi and his sister posing with guns. I find it curious that a conservative would attack someone by showing a picture of them enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights.

Never mind that, though. Although I, too, was sickened by Levi's exhibitionistic performance on Tyra, I would never get down in the mud like this:
What's even more creepy is that the other person in the picture is his sister. And, as if lifted from the pages of Deliverance, she has his name tattooed on her back. Think about that one for a minute.
In case you missed it, here it is again, toward the end:
Soon Levi will sell his tell all book, delightfully ignoring awkward questions about his relationship with his sister while relishing in the awkward details of his relationship with Sarah Palin.
While the shock of the implication is stark, it is also telling that the picture used is from a collection that made the email rounds during the election, sent by liberals. I guess treason isn't the only thing that's a matter of dates.

The conservative blogosphere was quick to condemn Markos Moulitsas for his insensitivity this past weekend. Let's see if they can be as circumspect about one of their own leaders.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
