Did the Obama campaign hire a pr firm to dig up dirt on Palin?

That this is what Obama meant by "taking the gloves off". Especially given the timing of the video's release -- during the brief period when Obama trailed McCain in the polls, and when most of McCain's sudden surge was attributed to the popularity of Sarah Palin.

I agree about that. Hope news of this operation gets out, though, and in some way minimizes it.

I remember reading somewhere about Alinksky’s book where they do make stuff up.

“Does this have something to do with the meaning of the word IS?”

More to do with “ISN’T”.

As in , a BJ isn’t the same as sex.

Are also dealing with people who don’t have enough brains to blow their noses who vote for these “thugs.” How can the GOP hope to win an election when the electorate is increasingly dumbed down and who vote for the bullies?

“The question of whether this was a private family project “

Why yes, that’s all it was, as you will see.


“or whether they were using paid employees on company time”

Well, yes, they were paid employees on company time, but they are friends of the family, and did it out of loyalty.


“and whether or not they were coordinating with David Axelrod’s firms”

Well, yes, they were coordinating with Axelrod’s firms, but they were friends of the family, and were only trying to be helpful to the family.


“and whether or not they were being paid surreptitiously by the campaign itself”

Well, yes, but they were friends of the family and so are the campaign staff, and they did it to help the family.


” or one of the 527’s indirectly.”

Well, yes, but they too were friends of the family, and it takes a lot of money to feed that big a family, and they were only doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
