\"Sarah-Palin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There must be no\u00a0barriers that will keep Sarah Palin from politicizing an event, including those that involve her family.<\/p>\n

Palin’s son, Track, has been charged with assault. The incident allegedly involved the young man’s girlfriend and an AR-15 rifle.<\/p>\n

Mama Grizzly’s response? She blamed President Obama for her son’s post traumatic stress disorder and his policies regarding care for veterans.<\/p>\n

Unbelievable!<\/em><\/p>\n

The former half-term Alaska governor happened to be at Republican presidential campaign frontrunner Donald Trump’s side Tuesday in Iowa, shrieking about how Trump was going to “kick ISIS’s ass!” while her son was being arrested and booked into jail in Wasilla, Alaska.<\/p>\n

So she blamed the president of the United States for her son’s bad behavior.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Track Palin’s gotten into trouble because of his behavior. Recall the brawl in which he was involved in Anchorage, the one that also involved his sister, Bristol?<\/p>\n

It might be that Track Palin suffers PTSD from his service in Iraq with an Army combat unit in 2008. If so, then he needs — and deserves — the best medical care he can find.<\/p>\n

However, for his mother to politicize his ailment and to suggest that it’s another politician’s fault because the young man cannot control his temper goes shamefully beyond the pale.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a New York veterans group <\/a>has urged Sarah Palin and others to knock off the political criticism. Focus instead on the problems associated with PTSD.<\/p>\n

As for\u00a0Sarah Palin . . . your son needs help. He doesn’t need to be kicked around as a political football.<\/p>\n\n
