There was a major news network that wouldn't display a picture of Obama's kids (A selfie taken by his daughter, which was leaked) because of privacy concerns. They went on and on about how we need to be careful about exposing children to the media and using pictures of questionable sources.

The next segment was a picture of Sarah Palin's son stepping on the family dog. The picture was taken in their family home. What happened to privacy?

It seems the privacy card is only pulled out when defending the people you like or agree with. I've see this time and time again on nearly every major news media outlets in the US.

The SS will absolutely go to town on anyone who brought unwarranted attention to the President's children and deservedly so.

In Europe, another sacred cow is the holocaust. Again, I see no valid reason for making that protected speech. The holocaust was a terrible crime.

Religions, however, in my opinion are fair game. And that's what this is all really about.

Wow, irony at its best! Down voted once again because I hurt the feelings of a white, 20-something, liberal.

Perhaps you're being downvoted because how you have fabricated the Sarah Palin picture thing because she was the one publishing that picture in a public manner on Facebook.
