Obama Surrogates Smearing Palin
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 6:25 PM
Barack Obama has promised he wouldn't wage a smear campaign against Sarah Palin but a number of  his surrogates are sure getting their hands dirty. Too many to be a coincidence.

Take for example this CNN report in which Drew Griffin confirms members of the Obama campaign contacted Palin's former-brother-in-law Mike Wooten's union.
Hmmm...Why, might I ask, would political operatives be contacting Wooten's union? To squeeze the union to pressure Wooten to speak out against Palin, perhaps? Someone needs to ask Team Obama who exactly is involved and why they think it's okay to do this.

And while we're on Troopergate doesn't anyone else think it's a little "conflict of interesty" that Obama supporter Hollis French is leading the investigation against Palin?  You think any of our mainstream media friends might have a question about that one?

Secondly, when is Obama going to denounce, or at least distance himself for pity's sake, from the email written by his spokesman Mark Bubriski that called Palin a NAZI SYMPATHIZER? Or give his Finance Chair Howard Gutman the cursory slap on the wrist for calling Palin a bad mother?

The answer, I expect is never. (That is, unless the MSM finally stops wondering what on earth Bristol Palin is going to name her first child and starts asking Obama some real questions about the ruthless, no-holds-barred campaign he's running.)

If Obama really wanted to stay above the fray, he would have fired these people from his campaign. Since he didn't I can only assume his campaign does support these kind of attacks and that his operatives have no intention of running clean against Sarah.

I hope I'm wrong.

Andrea
Yes, you my be the only one or one of a few. This is not a major issue that affects the nation--and really NON OF YOUR BUSINESS! The "judgement" we should be concerned about is Obama in the choice of who he associates with--that could affect us all if he would get elected!!!!!

Governor Palin
Now they are saying when is Palin going to anwser questions, after these disgusting attacks, they can wait, I dont like the way Obama treated Hillary and Geraldine and President Clinton during the campaign trail, they were called racist which they are not, and MSM saying ridiculous things and attacking Governor Palins family, and never asked Obama anything about his anti American associates,
the Media is not fair and balanced, only with their candidate Obama are they fair,
the American people are not stupid,
we dont trust the Media anymore.

Sara can close the deal, 'O' is afraid!
Not only was the media caught off guard, on the Sara pick, so were the smub, overly confidant Obama handlers! They aren't so happy anymore ha!
What were they thinking when they disrespected Hillary and her millions of supporters?! No foresight or smarts! Now they have the winning Sara, a tiger by the tail to deal with. Biden opened the door for the Lady Sara! Thanks.

Are Down's Babies Worthless People?
Why do the libs who claim to speak for the ordinary and the weak and down and out think that Down's Syndrome babies are worthless and should have their fetuses thrown in the dumpster? It is truly sick. When I look at Palin's baby I think, "What a beautiful child." I remember the 7th grade Down's Syndrome boy that I made fun of as a kid and every time I see someone with Down's Syndrome I wish I could find him and give him a hug and say I'm sorry. They are truly delightful people who usually do nothing be love the people around them. God made them and they are not less human than we are no matter what you disgusting people think. You want to exterminate them before they are born and I want to just give them a hug! Who is more hate filled!

FAIR GAME = NOBAMA ANSWERING QUESTIONS!
Oh, and the "fair game" issue that you all are writing from your playbooks?

Your boy, Nobama, cries anytime someone says something about anything about him.

What about Nobama's ties to a convicted criminal?
What about Nobama's ties to a terrorist?
What about Nobama's "secret money man" that paid for his tuition to Harvard?
What about Nobama's ties to communist Frank Marshall Davis, who was a member of Communist Party USA (CPUSA)?

OH NO, THOSE AREAS ARE OFF LIMITS?

The liberal media has done a bang-up job of making sure main-stream America doesn't learn about Nobama's past until they swoosh him into office, but America is wising up!

Response to Andrea and Hazel
I suspect that both of you are Nobama operatives for neither one of you stated anything that had to do with her qualifications and/or experience.

This whole thing is making me sick.

I hope each and every one of you that are offended by Nobama's smear campaign will take the time to write to every one of the culprits.

The response will probably be more laughter as reported earlier by Eleanor Clift, but we will have the last laugh on this one.

Shame on all of you two-faced, lying, phony liberals that have been encouraging women to exceed. We now know that you were not sincere at all. It was just another power play like you have been doing to all other minorities since you learned how greedy you are for power.

Palin's judgement problem
Palin has a judgement problem, the public needs to look closely at her personal judgement. The woman lacks the judgement to practice some form of birth control be it the rythm method are some other form but I think it is a problem when the parent and the children are giving birth at the same time.
Am I the only person in the world that thinks something is wron with this picture?

Just using the "big lie"
From Orwell to Mein Kampf, the easy resort to creating a fiction that will tell and then re-tell. Easy for the radical Obama camp to adopt when they sense the race is out of their control.

After all, the graduation from radical socialist to outright totalitarian is just what stage are you at that day. Susan Sontag's "Communism is Fascism." applies easily to the redistributionist American radical left.

Welcome to the 2008 team's use of the "1984" "big lie."

HILLARY::"NO HOLY WAY" !

Hillary said: NO HOLY WAY WILL SHE become
an Obama sleaze merchant:

Democrats need to recind their nomination of mentally unstable Obama and select Hillary:

At least Hillary refuses to crawl into the sewer with Obama's sleaze merchants:

At least Hillary will NOT harm this nation:

FROM INSIDE the gates of HELL

OBAMA, sleaze merchant and his anarchist surrogates operate from Inside the gates of HELL:

NEVER would anyone imagine that anyone could support anyone who wallows at the bottom of the gutter and then finds a shovel to dig lower:

OBAMA brags he is the SUPER CHIEF executive of his billion dollar enterprise the 2 year campaign:

WELL::::::::how do you think that sleaze merchant is doing ?

TAKE SPUNKY SARA ON, IF YOU DARE, HA!
Hazel, I think you just push our buttons to get the attention you don't get, being lost amongst similar Dem.,blogs. You only stand out against the Rep.,tide, ha! The super woman Sara asks for only objectivity & fairness. She has had lots of heat and shes ablast! Take her on at your own risk, Ha! Ex Democrat
My Pet Goat writes: Sunday, September, 07, 2008 7:50 PM
Don't have to.
If the "liberal media" would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about her dismal record in Alaska and her freak-zaoid church, there would be no need for anything else.

This woman is a disaster.

I will agree with Kimberly on one point
Sarah Palin did agree to be John McCain's running mate. She knew that unfair attacks would be part of the game. Judging from what I've seen, she's far stronger and far more intelligent than her critics, and all these wackos are doing is helping McCain/Palin get elected.

you are not wrong
Obama is a greasy politician--nothing more.
